Gordo's Tacos & Tequila

You can never go wrong with a little street corn and tequila. Popped into Gordo's after riding the incline and exploring Mount Washington for a bit. Bonus was getting a chance to watch some football at the bar. Time well spent chatting it up with the bar staff and just enjoying the Pittsburgh atmosphere. Drinks were well made. Food was good albeit a little pricey.

I went in today with my spouse after riding the incline. We decided to try it since we didn't really know much about the area. We are from Florida and we're visiting. The restaurant was clean.The food was presented nicely but was not what I was expecting.I ordered the street corn and it was not good. I asked the waitress what the citrus spice was that came on it and she said it was tajin. When I bit into the corn, it was not tajin and had a weird taste. Not terrible just not my type.My husband and I shared the quesadilla and the wings. I did not enjoy the wings one bit. They had a very odd taste. I only ate 1.The quesadilla was not good either. I only had one bite and the meat did not taste right. The mock tail was pretty good and it was fresh.The waitress never asked if there were any issues with the food even after seeing the majority of the food still intact. We asked for boxes and ended up donating it to a homeless person so the $70 food didn't go to waste. Not what I expected and definitely not worth the price.

I'd asked around about this place and had heard that's it's overpriced tacos and that they wouldn't go here. I did the opposite and went here. Put in a reservation for a Saturday before a pre-season Steelers game. We arrived and never had to utilize the reservation as they had space available. They have a lower part, upstairs, balcony top and bottom and an area outside.We were originally seated inside but I asked for balcony. Tables were too small for me being 6-7, outside was more room. The draft beers and cocktails were 50% happy hour. I had a craft local beer for $2.50 so that was a deal for me. The prices weren't out of control, believe things were discounted because of happy hour. Taco's were about $7 each which is a good price for a good size taco. You'd pay $1.99 at taco bell and swipe it down in seconds, 4.50 for a much smaller soft taco at Bakersfield on Penn Ave, $5.85 at Condado Tacos. So maybe they're a few bucks more than other places.The tacos that I had were delicious. They had a cheeseburger, who doesn't like a cheeseburger but on a taco. Ground beef smothered in a blend of Oaxaca & Chihuahua cheeses, chipotle aioli, lettuce and salsa Mexiana on a flour wrap, also with the Chorizo & Potato on corn which was house-seasoned ground pork, crispy purple sweet potato, roasted corn and black bean salsa, chipoltle aioli. it was a good overall experience from the food to the waitress. I can see me coming back to the area again.

Fun spot for a Bachelorette party dinner! We enjoyed the special drink, margaritas , various appetizer dips ( guac is my fav!) and the tacos! I loved the toppings on my barbacoa and carnitas! Waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable on the menu and specials.

Some of the best tacos in Pittsburgh! Definitely a bit pricey- but worth it. Really great quality tacos. I've tried at least 3-4 different tacos from here and their quesadilla. Can't beat the authentic flavors! The passion fruit margaritas are soo delicious and fruity- I wish they were permanently on the menu (they do a seasonal rotating marg)The employees here are always cranky and they all look very miserable especially on the weekends- but the food is just so good. So, I'm sorry, I will keep giving them business They also do a good happy hour and Taco Tuesday if you are trying to save a bit on their pricey tacos. They serve the tacos on halves of skateboard decks which I also absolutely love. So unique and cool!

I like tacos, and I like bars.The service was great and talking to our group. This location was busy.I was sitting at the bar with several friends, and we all ordered tacos. The tacos came out and were very good.This is definitely a spot to consider if you are up on the Mt.

While up in the Grand View area we stopped in here for a cool drink and their margarita menu caught our eyes... They use freshly juiced fruits in them (grapefruit, lime, etc), which is my preference for a marg. We got a regular margarita (lime) and a grapefruit. The grapefruit was great! Flavorful and fresh - both definitely helped cool us down and tasted great. The menu looked decent, but we weren't hungry. Service was mediocre, the bartender helping us seemed pre-occupied with other tasks. The place is decent, sort of an industrial vibe to it.It would be worth stopping back in again, maybe trying their food too. Very walkable from the Grand View overlook area (the Mon incline, etc).

First time here and I was really excited to try some unique tacos while also enjoying a classic margarita . I really liked everything, I just simply didn't love it .Food: I ordered a Mexican Caesar and a premium taco box with the steak and shrimp tacos ( queso/chips) as the side. My husband ordered the brisket quesadilla . I reaaaallly enjoyed the salad and a bite of the hubbys brisket. I didn't care too much for the sauces in my tacos nor the corn shell, so I ate the shrimp and steak right out of them, which was delicious may I add! Next time I'll get the flour tortilla. The queso dip had an odd texture to it, I was very underwhelmed if I can be honest.Beverage : I ordered the classic margarita and was not very impressed. It was neon yellow which usually means there's a ton of sours in it . Though it didn't taste sour by any means , it was quite sweet and little to no taste of tequila. Maybe it's a drink for someone else, but not my taste buds! I was happy to see they had high noon tequillas which is rare to find up by my way so that was a perfect ending to my meal! Service was decent for lunch. They weren't very busy , server was attentive enough. Parking was confusing as one side of the building is parking for another restaurant only. We found a spot on the street , though I'm sure it's harder to find during an evening.I wouldn't mind coming back, I'm just not in a rush to do so if you get my drift !

The vibe is great and it's in a desirable location. The presentation of the tacos is top notch and the drinks were tasty. Service is friendly and timely. But if I'm being honest, I've had better tacos. I will order more again the next time I'm in the area so don't be dissuaded -- my spouse loved the chicken mole taco and her carna asada taco!

The guacamole came with a very generous portion of chips. Brisket Quesadilla was also very generous portions of meat. This place seems to be more of a drinks place where you can sit and watch sports games, and it's nice in the summer with the outdoors patio. However, our waitress walked over several times in one hour to ask when we were leaving and also brought the check before we even asked for it/were ready, even though it wasn't busy and we were definitely within a normal time limit.
