The Most Scrumptious Tacos in Pittsburgh

Tapville Social - Wexford

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (95)

"3.5 stars. Tapville Social has locations across the U.S., and this one is locally owned and operated. The restaurant and bar serves foods, beers, wines, and other beverages. My husband and I ate brunch at this location in Wexford one time, and we had an overall "OK" experience. Please see my attached photos for the menus in August 2024. I had made a reservation through OpenTable, but we did not need it because many tables were available. An employee held a door open for us and courteously greeted us. Another employee was our waitress, and she provided timely and friendly service.They had given us a "Pour Pass" that we could use with our table-top tablet/kiosk to order, but instead the waitress took our order for beverages and foods.Here are my ratings for our foods and beverages:Mimosa flight - 4 stars - I received four flavors: classic, rose (my favorite because it was very sweet), mango, and blueberry. Lemon-ricotta pancakes - 4 stars - Five pancakes were topped with some syrup, cream, and blueberries. I would recommend adding more syrup, but I did enjoy the flavors.Bacon - 4.5 stars - These few slices of bacon were crispy.Fruit - 4 stars - The blueberries, strawberries, and orange slices were fresh. Loaded nacho tower - 2 stars - My husband ate these nachos. He described them as "cheap" and "suck." Please note that he requested no tomatoes. He would have preferred that more cheese be added and that the nachos be served warm rather than cold. I took a few bites, and I thought that they were OK. We did not use the self-pour taps, but dozens of beers, ciders, wines, etcetera were available."

The Freckled Fox Food Truck

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"First time for me at what is a regular dig of my co-workers. Not at all disappointed. Antipasta salad was original and delicious and the portions were huge! Yum! Will eat from here again!"

Lowkey Taco

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (237) • $$

"The food at Lowkey is still good and they've expanded the menu to include burritos, quesadillas, etc. Tye holiday drink selection is very large, too. Service is still good and friendly and the holiday vibe is even better than their regular good atmosphere. Always enjoyable."

Taqueria 304

★★★★☆ 4.3 (63) • $$

"Love what this place is doing, especially in the downtown Wheeling area, the city needs some awesome places with great food and great atmosphere, and this is one of them. They have a beer especially brewed for them, cannot remember the name, but it was pretty solid. Started off with chips and salsa (both made in-house) and I was a big fan, immediately knew the grub would be good. Went for the 3-pack Tacos Campechanos and was not disappointed - great flavor, portion size for the price. They have Karaoke and live music as well - definitely dig it, next time I am in town I will be going back."

Chayo's Street Tacos

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Food and service were both beyond excellent. I highly recommend you give this spot a try. It's not a fancy place, but it is comfortable."

Hot Taco Authentic Mexican Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"Just had the tacos and they are absolutely delicious! The combination of flavors is perfect, and the salsa adds just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be coming back for more."

The Taco Shack

★★★★☆ 4.2 (34)

"Who would think that there would be decent tacos in Oil City. Honestly, I didn't know anything about Oil City other than they have or maybe had oil there, and it seems to be in the middle of nowhere. We were looking for somewhere to grab lunch on the way back from looking at a cabin for sale and this place had the highest Yelp reviews of anywhere in the area, so here we went. We both got burritos with chicken and all the veggies, chips, and water. The burritos are HUGE, ingredients seemed fresh, everything tasted great. We also tried one of the specialty desserts, and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area."

Los Gingos Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.3 (9)

"Los Gingos Tacos stopped by the community and we don't have to be asked twice to have an opportunity to have a taco night. Since we didn't have Taco Tuesday, why not have Taco Thursday? We were thankful we just caught them before closing time because that was an experience! They had a Banh Mi special I heard about on their Instagram that I of course had to try and I'm so glad I did. It exceeded my expectations and I devoured every bite of that taco. Even the quesadilla was a true experience. The shredded chicken was super tender and all the flavors just complimented each other. That mild green sauce is definitely on my list of best green sauces and I regret not getting enough. Don't sleep on this food truck if it ever stops by your community. Even the team running the truck are super nice."

Tocayo Taqueria & Tequila

★★★★☆ 4.1 (58) • $$

"We've been meaning to try Tocayo since they first opened and finally got to recently. The staff is very friendly and helpful, when 2 veggie tacos were ordered with a side of rice and beans, an employee made sure to notify us that the rice and beans were not vegan in case there was any dietary restrictions. I've been a vegetarian for 30 years and have NEVER had that happen before! It was so cool for them to take dietary needs seriously and be proactive about them. The chips are really good, very substantial compared to other restaurants. The queso is really good too. We had the cauliflower and portobello tacos with side salad and chimichanga with rice. Everything was very fresh, very flavorful and absolutely delicious. We will definitely get their food again!"

Worldwide Eatz

★★★★☆ 4.1 (20)

"Worldwide Eatz has some of the best tasting food I have had in a long time! I haven't had fried alligator since I was a teenager and once I got this food here I knew I'd be coming back again very soon! Everything is perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, the gator was super nice and tender, juicy and packed with so much flavor my taste buds were doing the happy dance! My kid got the bacon cheeseburger and she's not one to eat much meat. She said this burger was super good and way better than she expected it to be! If you want good food properly cooked and seasoned, go here! They aren't expensive either! Anyone can afford them!"

El Burro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (297) • $$

"We ordered for delivery a few weeks ago. My husband got the chorizo burrito and i stole a bite...so glad I did. Just the right amount of spiciness.I got the California burrito because French fries duh. The steak was juicy and not dry at all. I got my daughter a side kid ride and I wish I would've gotten myself like 28 of them. Probably the best Mexican/Spanish/Hispanic rice in the city"

Las Palmas Carnicieria

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"$3 tacos were bomb!! i love that they filled up each one with whatever meat you ask for and you can fill it up with whatever toppings and sides you want at their toppings bar. they accept both cash and card and you would pay after you receive your food."

Global Street Food

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"New Food Truck in Pittsburgh, primarily serving the Cranberry Township Area, and slinging delicious Global Street Food on Saturdays at the Mars Farmer's Market, June thru October. Cool people working the truck, and delicious food . . . Check them out if you happen to see them out in your travels . . . Cheers!"

Brassero Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (55) • $

"Passing through Braddock i have seen this place and wasn't quite sure what it was. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised. I'd describe it as a unique twist on street tacos etc.. A bit different from what I have had, but the meat was tender and flavorful, and the tacos, burritos, and Gorditas were all excellent. They seem to try to put a healthy twist on it with spinach instead of lettuce.Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!"

Margarita King Grill and Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (45) • $

"Margarita King Grill and Cantina is part of the complex at the Comfort Inn - BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU! The food is extremely good, reasonably priced and served promptly by friendly waitstaff.The place was busy! It's popular with local people and it draws a lot of business from the motel. Our waiter was very friendly and he really hustled - we didn't have to wait long for a table and our food was served quickly.EVERYTHING was very tasty!!DON'T PASS THIS PLACE BY!!"

Salsa Sam's Eatery

★★★★★ 4.8 (33) • $

"First visit thanks to my daughter's recommendations. She could not believe how fabulous all of the salsa dips tasted, and clued me in to this newer taco eatery. However, today was not a salsa day for me because I discovered that Penn State Creamery Ice Cream is also available here, so ice cream ruled. There were 3 flavors available, and usually change once the next Penn State trip occurs to replenish as needed. The shop itself is small, but very quaint, cool, and inviting. The owner was exceptionally friendly, and well-equpped to start, and maintain lively conversation about his background, travels, and the passion he has when it comes to creating healthy, and tasteful products and meals . It is a family run operation, and he and his wife are working hard to offer the community quality food in a comfortable setting. I look forward to the next visit to give the tacos, and salsas a try, and to find out what new ice cream flavors await me."

Costanza’s Stone Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.5 (15) • $

"My mom and I stopped here for lunch on the way back from last minute grocery shopping. The exterior of the building is beautiful, and it has been around for nearly 200 years. So there is an old age charm about this place. Inside it is pretty modest with the bar being the main draw. But alongside the bar are a few booths, and beyond the bar they have an informal dining room as well as a game room. The lunch menu listed mostly sandwiches, but I did see a selection of wings and sauces which piqued my interest. In Pennsylvania, one can often find great wings in hole in the wall places made by small time cooks who make their own sauces. This place was no exception!I opted for 6 garlic and butter wings and 6 California gold rush wings. They charge this as 2 separate orders of 6 wings rather than a single order of 12 wings costing you about $2 more, but when the wings arrive, I doubt you will complain. Turns out, when they say wing, they mean the full wing. So each wing was really equivalent to two regular size wings. All of a sudden my 12 wings just exploded into 24 wings -- far too much food for me to eat. The garlic and butter wings were exceptionally good, among the best wings I have ever had. Fresh, rustically cut garlic generously adorned the wings. Lovely. The gold rush wings had honey mustard and hot sauce. These were pretty good, but not nearly as good as the butter garlic wings. I felt the heat was really missing from these, but the mustard had nuance which was nice. The wings themselves were definitely prepared to order and were very large. Service was really friendly, and everyone was down home. This is probably a good local drinking spot at night. Definitely recommend for the wings."

Boga Taco

★★★★★ 4.9 (70)

"Very authentic, fresh Mexican food. The location is not one that I would normally seek out but I was able to hear about this restaurant thanks to Yelp! The service was great. The owner took our order and brought out our food. She was super friendly, and we appreciated hearing about her business. All of the food is homemade here, which is fantastic! Our entrees were affordable, and a large portion size. I loved the sauces that were brought out to our table, they added just the right amount of spice. The restaurant was not busy when we were there, plenty of table and booth seating. Extremely clean and a nice layout. I loved the open kitchen concept, always reassuring! We brought our own beer, I always love BYOB! This is not far off of the interstate, please support locally owned Washington businesses."

Doce Taqueria

★★★★☆ 3.9 (162) • $$

"I had the shaved ribeye taco, and my boyfriend had the americano. Very fresh and delicious. My boyfriend loved his so much that he ordered and extra taco. There were rather small but for me hit the spot! The restaurant inside is spacious and has cool vibe if you are a taco lover."

Primo’s Tacos & Tequila

★★★★★ 4.6 (24)

"Restaurant was clean and spotless. We came in for lunch and we're immediately seated and waited upon. Food came out fast and very very hot! The chicken fajita quesadilla was massive and came with beans and rice. The meal was hot and very delicious. Steak burrito was hot and very good. It could have been a little bit bigger, but made up for it with the large portion of steak. Overall great experience. Will be back again!"

Tako Torta

★★★★☆ 4.1 (127) • $$

"Okay so update- I posted my original review two days ago (it was sitting my drafts for a while and I finally got around to posting it). I went to tako torta yesterday and it's different now! It's now a sit down with a menu (before you would order at the front and pick up your own food). The menu is a little bit different too, so the build your own bowls that I was talking about are no longer on there :( anyways, I got the chips and guac and the Carnitas taco, the shrimp taco and the fish taco and as usual it was all delicious! All the tacos were sooo flavorful. With the new menu, you can order different types of tacos, which I love! My friends actually thought the food was better since the change! Tako torta is one of my go to spots!"

La Poblanita

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"If you want authentic tacos this is the place to go. Order inside of the grocery store at the counter, pay, then take your sticky note outside to the stand. Tell them what kind of tacos you ordered inside. They make them. Then the other stand has all the toppings for you to add onto your tacos yourself."

Los Mayas Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (62)

"This place is really good. The food is authentic and great. Our service was super fast and very helpful and friendly. It is not a huge place but it would be fun for a group. All food is good you won't go wrong"

Pittsburgh Taco Boys

★★★★★ 4.7 (49)

"So happy to have found such a good taco spot nearby! We ordered the 3 taco meal deals with a variety of tacos - chicken thigh, ground beef, fish (seasonal), chorizo, beef shoulder and hanger steak. They were all delicious & top rankings were chicken thigh, ground beef, beef shoulder and hanger steak. The fish was good but a little soggy but I'm thinking it's because we got it to-go and ate at home. We also had the meat and cheese empanada which was amazing!! The shell was really light, flaky and crispy. Their chips are soooo good, possibly my favorite tortilla chips ever. I didn't love their salsa but all of the other food made up for it. We placed a to go order and all of the food was ready in 15 min. Staff was super friendly! There is parking all around and this spot is mostly take out. In the summer, they have an outdoor area with picnic tables. Can't wait to return!"

1942 Tacos & Tequila

★★★★★ 4.6 (8)

"Loved the restaurant decor, good service and we were entertained by the robot server. The food was ok just wasn't great. The cheese on the enchilada and quesadilla tasted a little store bought, other than that, had a good experience. They have reasonable lunch specials and "Happy Hour." I highly recommend their margaritas, tasted awesome and had a lovely presentation."

Viva Los Tacos

★★★☆☆ 3 (67)

"Portion sizes are huge, especially the nachos (definitely can be shared amongst 3 people). Quick service, food (tacos and nachos) hits the spot. This is definitely a spot to go with friends. There's in and out door seating."

"Great service, super friendly ladies at the bar. Good seasonal drinks! Outdoor seating. Clean, & modern. Stop in for a beverage!"

Baby Loves Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (190) • $$

"Handsdown the best taco shop in the neighborhood! So flavorful and fulfilling with great value! Carnes Asada Taco - the flank steak is so tender and delicious, can't go wrong with this one! $5/taco is such a steal.Chicken taco salad $12 + guac $2 - plenty of chicken thigh meat and toppings (roasted corn, salsa, etc) on a bed of crunchy romaine, the box is so heavy, great value! Adding the guac is a must to me, also comes with a lemony dressing, side of hot sauce and sour cream, recommend."
