La Palapa, Mexican Cuisine & Mezcal Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (441) • $$

"4.4 average (yes, precise!). La Palapa restaurant serves authentic Mexican cuisine and also has a full-service bar. Menu items include soups, salads, appetizers (e.g., nachos and jalapeños rellenos), dozens of entrees (e.g., flautas, tacos, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, chicken, pork ribs, lamb, tilapia, and several vegetarian dishes), several sides, and several desserts. The menu is available for dining in, takeout, delivery, and catering.I ordered lunch from La Palapa for delivery. Here are my and my husband's ratings for the foods:Empanada - 4.5 stars - This empanada was available in several flavors, and I selected the shrimp. The empanada was large, had a crispy dough, and contained juicy and flavorful shrimp. On the side was salsa.Fajitas nayarit with side of plantains - 4.5 stars - A few proteins were available, and I chose steak. The steak tasted good. The chef included a very large amount of fresh peppers as well as rice, beans, and some pineapple.Tamales - 4 stars - A corn-based tamale was filled with my choice of filling, which was vegetables, and was wrapped in a corn husk. On the side was salsa.Tacos - 4 stars - Several possible fillings were available, and I chose the rajas con papas (poblano peppers and potatoes). I felt thankful that the soft taco shells did not get very soggy during transport. I might have given these tacos a higher rating if I had ordered a different filling.Carne asada - 5 stars - The flank steak was *very flavorful*. My husband felt surprised to see squash, cheese, and cactus. On the side was perfectly cooked rice."

Dee Jay’s BBQ Ribs & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.7 (269) • $$

"Our waitress Kayla was amazing. Had reservations on Valentines Day however they only had 2 waitresses taking care of a packed room of tables. Management needs to plan better on a holiday with a special menu. Despite this Kayla was pleasant and attentive. Gave 4 stars because this is the 3rd visit in a row that they were out of French dressing."

Prince of India

"Stop by for a quick lunch on a Saturday, unfortunately, there was no buffet, but we ordered off the menu. The food was flavorful, Naan was fresh and hot! Very much enjoyed this lunch :)"

Saigon Pho Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (129) • $$

"Authentic Vietnamese cuisine, with a little bit of new creativity which adds surprise to the delicious food. Will definitely come again."

Duffy's Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (149) • $$

"In the area for business and a local suggested this place for the best ever wings and burgers. We sat outside and the service was fair, I tried to order a glass of bubbles but the server didn't know if they offered that outside of a specific cocktail, she was happy to bring me water instead of finding out. We both ordered pretty healthy entrees and we ate every bite, my chicken was under seasoned but it was still cooked perfectly. My husband's grilled pork chop was also cooked perfectly, served with carrots and potatoes.The patio was super nice and spacious with comfortable seating, we enjoyed ourselves overall."

Sushi Kim 2

★★★★★ 4.7 (71)

"Don't be fooled by the humble looking stair case before the entrance. Everything about this place was fantastic. The sushi had amazing taste and each bite was full of fish. The salmon and yellowtail quality was very high. I even think they make their own spiced soy sauce. I sat at the sushi bar to wait for my take out and wished I could sit and stay longer! The staff were so kind and friendly. Will definetely be back to try more items. Another customer had tempura and it smelled amazing. The vibe is very relaxed but also clean and polished."

Food For Thought Deli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (78) • $

"The Greatest little Gems! I will admit! Not a deli sandwich type of guy! BUT, this really makes you reexamine the Stance - incredibly fresh! Filling! Great service! Extremely neat and clean! You gotta try this place! The Triple Decker did the Job!"

Amazing Dumplings

★★★★☆ 4.4 (71)

"It's a good place with authentic food and genuinely nice ownership. I've been here three times and I've had almost every dumpling they offer. You will not be disappointed. The dumplings are like works of art. Sometimes it's not very packed, other times every table is full. They've been in the restaurant business for a long time!I like the Red Shiso soda. I also love the Wide Noodles with Egg and Tomato, it is so fun to share with a friend. The dumplings are amazing and the ladies who run the place are great people. One note is that the Lamb Mince Soup is not as beautiful or as good as the picture.It's a pretty good value and definitely filling. Good for special occasions. They use Szechuan peppercorns, so good.You will get MSG here probably, just so you know."

Mobogo Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (68) • $

"I'm not an expert on Vietnamese cuisine, but this place is a gem where you'd least expect it. It's a casual atmosphere with takeout or dine-in.The Baguette Sandwich is basically Bahn Mi - great flavor! My favorite entree is the Stir Fried Rice with Beef. The name sounds bland but the taste is anything but - it has some serious umami."

Fusion Japanese Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (75) • $$

"Fusion has won best Japanese over the past couple years and I can see why. I had the miso soup, gyoza (pork dumpling) the volcano roll and the eel roll. Everything was delicious. The fish tasted fresh and the flavors were good. I like that you can choose to either have the louder, more entertaining hibachi experience or the quieter more private dining. There were 2 people who had birthdays in our seating area. Their servers brought out dessert for them, sang and rang a gong. Our server was speedy, pleasant and attentive. Fusion had a wide variety of entrees and sushi. I think this would be a great date night spot. You could come here week after week and still be trying new and interesting things on the menu. I would 10/10 recommend and I will 100% return."

New Saigon

★★★★☆ 4.4 (55)

"I've been looking for the most authentic Vietnamese food and so far, this is my clear winner. I can't wait to have their pho. So far I've had their bah mi, which was delicious and not dry, and their grilled chicken bun (vermicelli noodle bowl) which was MASSIVE and so fresh. I had a few questions about what the blood tofu was on the menu and if the bun bowl was a vermicelli bowl. I can't tell you the answers, honestly. Waters were refilled promptly. The ambiance is meh. Parking can get a bit crowded all over the street but we parked in a residential area and it was free to do so."

Soup-Herb Sproutz

★★★★☆ 4.3 (57) • $

"Anytime I've eaten here it's been wonderful. I recently ordered delivery from here and my food was still fresh and delicious! The employee and very friendly and the restaurant itself is clean and welcoming. If you're ever craving something quick and healthy, this is your place!"

My Kabab

★★★★★ 4.8 (45) • $$

"Words cannot describe how good my meal was from this place. Never in my life have I tried a shawarma, but I promise you, I will be back after tasting a bite of this. I got the spicy beef and lamb shawarma with a side of fries. Fries were decent. Shawarma was a 10/10. Basically a burrito filled with gyro-like meat, veggies, and a creamy garlic white sauce. It was so good that I wish I had ordered two of them. Not going to lie, I'll probably be back tomorrow just to get it again. Give this place a try. A+..... glad to have this little kebab joint in the neighborhood."

Altoona's Original Texas Hotdogs

★★★★☆ 4.3 (39) • $

"Fast friendly service! I had never been there and they explained what they have and whats popular. I got the loaded dogs and they were really great! The meatsauce wasnt greasy at all I loved it. We will be back."

Eagle Grille & Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.2 (40) • $$

"Traveling through Ohio on interstate 80 and got off the interstate for some dinner. Saw this place had 4 1/2 stars on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm a creature of habit and will often order a bleu cheese & bacon cheeseburger when they are on the menu. I have eaten them from coast to coast and this might possibly be the best one I've ever eaten! The sweet potato fries which were a one dollar up charge were incredible as well with a maple and butter dipping sauce. Did I mention that I had this paired with a great craft beer. My wife had the seasonal Summer Strawberry Salad which she said was really good. This will be a regular stop when traveling through this part of the country."

Sweet Hut Chinese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (45) • $

"Great Chinese restaurant in Washington, Pa. Located in Park Place, across from Race Track Road. Today, I got the Spicy Orange Beef, fried rice, and takeout boneless spare ribs. Everything was excellent! Orange Beef was tender, lots of Orange flavor, a nice spicy kick! Fried Veggie Rice was really good, better than most I've had. Very flavorful, lots of veggies. Boneless Spare Ribs were awesome! Tender, juicy, lots of flavor in the sauce. Great Chinese food, two thumbs up!!"

Hunan's Palace

★★★★☆ 3.7 (47) • $$

"Serviceable takeout Chinese. I guess it used to be a sit-down restaurant pre-Covid, but it's only takeout and delivery now. The food is good and hits the spot. It's not anything special, but it's inexpensive and they deliver. I'm definitely a fan."

Lucky Star Express

★★★★☆ 3.6 (47) • $

"So yea ... this place is great .. good .. cheap...fresh and tender of everything I've ever had ...I'm no Chinese food Aficionado... So from that stand point this place won't disappoint I'm sure ..."

Jian’s Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (28)

"The new ownership here has replaced Northeastern Kitchen and everything so far is really exceptional. James speaks very good English and the communication/translation between the owner and the customer works well. They are open late enough for me to swing by after work to grab some real authentic Chinese. The liver/kidney and intestines is amazing and perfect spice, the beef stomach mala is amazing, and most of all I like the different steamed fish choices they offer. This is really unheard anywhere else in PGH. I am a fan again! Having the original cook from Northeastern still there makes the deal work! Happy New Year!!"

Ryan's Artisan Goods

★★★★★ 4.5 (22) • $

"Wow. From bagels to drinks, the coffee and paninis are awesome. Great Wi-Fi spot, eat in spot, let's just call it my spot on my off days. From owning my own restaurant and visiting often to Ryan's Artisan Goods, I'm welcome and appreciated. The team has innovated with different drinks and coffees. Their Pizza are clutch for a light flare with a ton of flavor. As for the sandwiches and soups, they are scratch made and you can taste the balance of flavors and aroma. The game changer for the local area, I see why they hold the title belt, lol!"

Mama Jane's Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (29)

"My sister and I accidentally stumbled across this restaurant today while looking for a place to eat lunch on a short road trip.We ended up with the pot roast sandwiches, and our absolutely wonderful waitress Karen, suggested we put a little thousand island dressing on them.I am so glad we decided on this because it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Tender and tasty roast beef with grilled onions and mushrooms between light toasted sourdough.All the menu items looked good, prices were fair, and the place was clean, not to mention excellent service.I just found out there is another location not very far from us, and rest assured we will be going there often!"

La Rocca's Pizza & Pasta

★★★★☆ 3.5 (33) • $$

"Another delicious meal at La Roccas. Wonderful food and friendly service. It's a great night out every time."

Chuck Tanners Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (32) • $$

"I ordered here today for lunch through DoorDash and thought my lunch was really good. I ordered a steak salad with ranch dressing. Although I don't think the tomatoes were washed throughly, it was really well put together and the ingredients were fresh, they use fresh cut lettuce and not bagged. The steak was well prepared and cooked to a perfect medium. I would order here again for lunch."

June Bug's Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (12) • $

"Great place to have a good meal. Had fried chicken which was scrumptious accompanied by a baked potato with side salad. Hit the spot. Chicken had great breading and plenty of meat..watching the steeler game was an added bonus . I'll be back..."

Hotrods Sub Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (17) • $

"I always make a point to hit this sub shop when I am in the Sharon area. I think the bread is what makes the sandwich. Everytime I come I can count on a delicious ham and cheese."

JJ panda restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (12)

"Personally some of the best Chinese food I've had in Pittsburgh. I ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice. Cooked perfectly, nothing was grease or saturated in cooking oils. Full of flavor. Chicken Lo Mein was also very tasty and full of flavor. The vegetables looked fresh and not frozen. I would definitely order again. Also from time of order to DoorDash delivery was about 20 minutes max."

Taste of Indian Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"Authentic and delicious Indian cuisine. Veggie samosa excellent as is the veggie dishes. Saga and Chana masala. Does not disappoint."

Mr Egg’s Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6)

"Steam table hot pot - you choose your noodles, your ingredients and your soup base and they prepare it for you.Fresh ingredients are fairly limited - cabbage, book choy, lettuce and broccoli. Most of the ingredients are frozen processed foods. I, fortunately, love fish and tofu products smashed together together in all their glorious cake and patty forms.It is worth noting that the crazy hot soup base is primarily flavored with Szechuan peppercorn.An overall solid addition to Squirrel Hill, but not a shining star."

Mamma Lucia

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (12)

"You will not find a better Sicilian pie anywhere ! I've been eating Mamma Lucias Pizza for 41 years and the recipe hasn't changed a bit . Ingredients still sourced from the same suppliers , suppliers still buying from the same producers , producers still making the cheese from the same cows , the same cow family still grazing the same farmland , etc for the past four decades ! Had my first Mamma slice in the OG location in the original Northway Mall ."
