First, the hospitality that greets you and is sustained throughout your meal is really notable (we arrived on a Monday around 4:45-5pm). Everyone was so friendly, not just our waiter (although he was super attentive and so nice - always smiling)! Dining with happy employees can really accentuate your experience in my opinion, and that definitely stood out here.The restaurant itself is clean and well-appointed; with unique Mexican flair adorning the ceiling and walls, which helps provide an authentic experience.As for the food, I will preface my remarks by stating I'm pretty picky about Mexican food - I don't eat it often so when I do, I prefer to go somewhere that puts an emphasis on freshness and authentic flavor. I usually order fairly simple dishes so it shouldn't be hard to deliver on those expectations. With that said; overall, I'd say this place delivered on both but not in standout fashion.My wife and I shared an order of Taquitos, which had a nice flavor when combined with the guacamole - without the guacamole, it would've been a bit bland. It was also a perfect portion size to share.My entree was the Asada. The tortilla shell is homemade, which is a huge plus in my book. I'm not a fan of commercial tortillas/taco shells. The steak had a nice flavor but was missing something - a bit more kick/zest would have been nice. Also, if it were served with guacamole, that would have been a nice flavor enhancer. It comes with two sauces but I didn't like either one. One was very lime-forward and the other was very pepper-forward. I substituted my rice and beans for Papa Fritas, which were ok. Definitely of the frozen variety but they were cooked well, with a nice crispy texture. They went well with the Asada tacos.Lastly, we shared an order of churros with vanilla ice cream. That was a tasty treat, which was again a perfect portion size to share.Again, overall, this is a quality Mexican restaurant that will likely leave you satisfied, but I wasn't 'wowed' by the food (this time around), but I'll be back to try another dish.Give this place a try and I suspect you'll have a pleasant dining experience!

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner with three other people. We were sat quickly even though it was Friday night. The star of the show was the cucumber margarita! It was perfect. The spicy pineapple margarita was good too. We did not like the sangria and there was another drink in the flights none of us were a fan of. The food was ok, I had the combo plate with a tamale and a red and green enchilada which was decent. The tamale was kinda dry.

Absolutely amazing food - service is incredible as well! The Tepache margarita is a must, as well with the chipotle chicken dish. Most amazing people work there, we have been so many times!

On weekends, this place is busy. We joined the wait list while we were out shopping and only had to wait 10 mins on a Saturday night around 7PM. The Tepache (pineapple) and Peppino (cucumber) margaritas were very good. They definitely need more tequila though. We tried two of their specials and enjoyed both. We had the Mexican Ceviche stack that had tomatoes, chopped shrimp, spices and jalapeño that was outstanding and a little spicy - perfect heat! The Huarache is thin corn masa topped with refried beans and tomatoes, cheese and chicken. It needed more chicken but was a really unique texture and flavor - delicious! The Enchiladas Verdes were super yummy as always. The cactus side dish was sort of bland to be honest but a good offset to the spicy main dishes.The staff have a hard time with language on occasion but we were able to point to things to explain what we wanted and they were very efficient and responsive.

Where do I even start?? This place was incredible start to finish. Our server was so sweet and really helpful with suggestions. The restaurant itself is tight but very colorful and bright. We got the margarita flight to split. Presentation was gorgeous and they were huge - definitely to share. We opted for the Queso Fundido Flambé with Chorizo and it was fun to watch and even more fun to eat. We also liked the Elote and that they were small bites. My dinner was the Arroz Con Pollo. It was insanely good. So flavorful, the veggies tasted fresh, and the whole dish was cooked perfectly. We saw about 10 other things on the menu we want to try so we will be back soon!

This place really is the best.Since first reviewing this place a few years ago, I've always made it a point to stop here when in Pittsburgh or as a rest stop when traveling along the PA Turnpike (it's less than 5 minutes off the highway). I've been there for weekend brunch, busy Friday nights, to lazy Tuesday midday - it's always gonna be good. I feel like I've experienced enough of it to confirm that 5th star.The food is awesome. I've never had a bad meal. But seriously, just the chips - they're sturdy and thick, like the kind you find in Mexico. I've tried a variety of their tacos, including the Mexico City tacos de canasta on special. On top of some traditional delicious options like cochinita pibil, carnitas, and taco al pastor, they have some delightful vegetarian options like jackfruit and even buffalo cauliflower.Besides the awesome tacos, here are some standout items I've tried:-the Torta Ahogada at brunch - it was perfect as is, and I bet it's great as a hangover cure.-the Squash Blossom Quesadilla - I thought it would just be cheese and squash flowers, but there is something really savory and delicious that take these to another level.-the Sikil P'aak appetizer - move over, guacamole! This pumpkin seed dip is garlicky with citrus and salt that just put it over the top.While I've had some watery drinks here, the last couple of visits they have been much better. There are dozens of margaritas with any variety you could want. Other classic cocktails are available. There are also alcohol-free cocktails and other teetotaler options likes aguas frescas and tepache (fermented and spiced Mexican drink).The inside is beautiful with quotes painted on the walls. The bathroom is always clean. The staff is quick and friendly - in my experience, they all speak Spanish and at least enough English (though I found it easier to chat in Spanish a few times). The prices are fair for what you get.Definitely recommended.

Another visit, another triumph.I am running out of praise for this place.They pass the two important tests of a good Mexican restaurant: chips and salsa and refried beans must rock, and rock it out they do.All I can offer is this: their seasonal menus are very original and do not be afraid to experiment. Sure, you can get standard fare like a chimichanga, but why get that when there are cool Mexican regional dishes on the menu?We've never tried their desserts because we are always too full.Best Mexican food in SW PA. Pro tip: if you are a couple, sit at the bar, forget a lame booth.

Food is very good!Fresh salsa and homemade chips.Chile rellenos are my personal favorite.Sopes con carnitas and shrimp tacos are very good.Their food is not overly salty like 90% of the Mexican restaurants.Oh, almost forgot, pinto beans are awesome. Food tastes very homemade, and that's what I grew up on.Spoke with Chuy and Carlos after dinner. They're pretty cool, I think they run the place.
