Alquisiras Paleteria

Food was excellent, hot and authentic. Service was meh, they don't really have traditional servers who check on you. That being said the food more than makes up for it. Price wasn't too bad either. I would go back here in a heartbeat.

Oof this place is the most authentic tacos I have found in Pittsburgh. (Quick background Mexican American, Chicago hometown). I always going to places to find good tacos. This is the closest I have found. Owners are Mexican. Haven't tried the other things from menu such as the menudo or tortas. Will be back to try more and maybe update review. But for now, definitely go!!

Wow! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Food was excellent and served piping hot. And made to order. I had been working outside of the area the last few years and this was my first visit. What a semi-hidden gem. I had the horchata which I could have drank by the gallon and the enchiladas verdes. Both outstanding! I also got the corn in a cup. It was good but not the highlight of the meal. I was too full to order ice cream or one of the dessert bars but next time I will. The dining area is small and can get loud, but don't let that stop you. Also, the menu is small but that's usually a good sign that what they offer is good and it's delicious here.

A very no-frills but solid food destination. We ordered the Birria tacos with the soup, the quesadilla dorda (fried quesadilla), elote, and horchata. The birria tacos were very filling and homely. They were not spicy as expected, but still very good. It came with a side of cilantro, hot sauce, limes, and onions. The quesadilla felt like a more traditional feel made with what I assumed is Oaxaca cheese. It had incredible cheese pull and the portions were gracious. I would not recommend coming into this restaurant with American expectations of Mexican food. For my partner, their favorite was the birria tacos. My shining star was the horchata--I ordered two for myself! It was delicious, less cinnamon than at other places with a great creamy sweet vanilla taste. Best horchata I've had ever!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My family and I came for food and we order torta cubana, menudo, pozole, and sopes and EVERYTHING was delicious. Also the aguas frescas that we tried, horchata and frutas, were sooooo good. This is what I would call legit authentic Mexican food.

This place is an authentic Mexican food. Service is incredible by the Owner. For all of people looking for great place to eat REAL Mexican food this is your place.

As a Mexican from south of Texas I was suspicious of how the food was going to taste. As I got into the small business and felt the vibes I knew it was going to be something. I had the Quesabirrias and sopes and the food is to die for!!! Will definitely have to come back!!!

On a scale of documentaries to novels, Alquisiras Paleteria reminds me of The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea. Story and food transport consumers, and Alquisiras Paleteria did exactly that.Walking into this restaurant feels like you were just transported to another country -- from the décor to the menu. While the restaurant does show some wear and tear, it is clearly a community staple, and the food blew my mind. We ordered a quesadilla, enchiladas, a tostada, and two cups of corn as well as horchata. And I'm already dreaming of returning for another serving of quesadilla, tostadas, and the horchata! WOW, this meal was astoundingly delicious, and I'm excited to return to try the tacos!If you love a meal that feels wholly authentic, Alquisiras Paleteria is a must.
