50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pittsburgh

“Great service, and the food was really good!“

“Definitely not for the faint or older generations. Food was amazing. Vibe definitely geared towards younger millennial/gen-z crowd. I’m a Xennial and I loved every second of it. Definitely coming back. Food accurately priced for the quality. And my drink came in a zebra glass! Dancing shark was a fun bonus too. Haha.“

“First time at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant in Robinson Pa. Had wonderful time. Great atmosphere! Food was on point and tasty. Pricing was good. Absolutely loved the table side quacamole and ceviche. Me and my wife Sheronne will definitely be back soon!“

“One of our absolute favorites. Great, creative margaritas and awesome food, either dine in or take out!“

“This is one of our new favorite go-to places when we're hanging out on Butler. The drinks are absolutely fantastic (and I'm particular when I'm out). We love experimenting with their different specials. And the food is out of this world. Plus, the atmosphere is perfect for conversation!“

“great food and service, very nice employees. food does not take long to come out and is consistently good everytime. me and my girlfriend come here a lot and order the enchiladas and birria tacos, we always finish all of our food. one of the best hidden restaurants in pittsburgh“

“My wife and I made a stop here while passing through Dormont, PA and it was a great little breakfast find. The place has a warm, rustic vibe, and our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Sparkie’s Omelette—which comes with kielbasa, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut—and while it may sound like an odd combo, it was on point. Paired with home fries and wheat toast, everything hit the spot. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and good service.....can’t ask for more from a diner breakfast.“

“While in Pittsburgh for a conference, I came across this place with the groups of ladies I was with. The food was AMAZING!!! I have been dreaming of the roasted carrot taco ever since! My husband asked to plan a trip to Pittsburgh next year for the NFL draft- I only agreed because he promised me we could eat at this restaurant! Looking forward to that a year from now!!!“

The flavors were SO delicious and everyone loved their meals. It's great they offer vegetarian protein choices and substitutes. Owners are super friendly. We can't wait to come back again!“

“Amazing family owned mexican joint. They are open early and never disappoint. I've eaten my way through most of the menu and have ordered things I didn't know what they were and I myself could not pronounce, each item has always been delicious and made with love. The food is always fresh and served with a smile. It's authentic and in my opinion some of the best tacos you can get in the area ( and there are a ton of taco places near by, this is by far my favorite).
Gordita and chiliquiles are also some of my favorites here. Fully stocked fridge with every flavor of jaritos, mineragua, as well as some house made drinks. They have a handful of indoor seats as well as a patio with tables and chairs for the warmer months. Always hits!!!“

“They were a lifesaver when we forgot to order food for a little party. We called and very quickly we had delicious food delivered. It was fresh and delicious. I’ve also been to the food truck and it is equally good. They give a lot back to local charities which puts them on my ❤️ list. Totally saved the day today“

“Good food, GREAT margaritas and friendly service! Win-win experience!“

“Me and my boyfriend cannot stop eating here never had the pleasure of going in person we just usually order via DoorDash but EVERYTIME it’s so good the steak is cooked to perfection everything is seasoned so well! I never write reviews but I had to 😭 absolutely love this restaurant please never change!!!“

“Wonderful Central American restaurant. We had pupusas that were super rico. Perfectly made and comparable to in other cities. Comes with great curtido (lightly pickled spicy cabbage) of course, and nice horchata. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic affordable and friendly Salvadoran place in the PGH area! Must visit and is conveniently on the red line of the T light rail so very easy to visit from downtown. (For some reason I or Google posted this review by mistake to Las Palmas so I’m reposting in the correct place)“

“Ame todo , el lugar , ambiente y por supuesto su repostería, aaa y el mejor chocolate caliente“

“Delicious food and Great service 👍🏻“

“Esquina Cantina is inside the historic Round Corner Hotel and Bar building. My husband and I ate one meal on their outdoor patio. Our waiter made a couple of mistakes but corrected them. We really liked our guacamole, tostadas, quesadilla, beans, rice, and non-alcoholic drink. The tacos had excellent tortillas, but my husband did not like the carne-asada meat.“

“Just started working downtown and already been here twice. Making it a weekly stop. Food is delicious, service is friendly and fast plus a solid on-tap menu.“

“I visited this place on a therapeutic shopping outing and it was a hit. You could taste the authentic flavors, quality and preparation that was put into it. The staff and owner were so hospitable and very attentive and informative. I will definitely be back soon and even utilizing the catering options for my family events and when possible with my team. I was so mesmerized with the experience I didn’t take the best pictures.“

“Many, many options. Vegetarian and vegan choices too. Very friendly and helpful people. Cool place to eat delicious food and people watch.“

“Absolutely delicious. I personally love his ground beef burritos with some salsa verde sauce on the side, but great food and awesome service. Edgar always remembers his customers too. Awesome guy and awesome food I would always recommend to anybody.“

“Excellent food, excellent service, great staff, great atmosphere, very professional, high class at a great price.“

“For many years I have gone to Patron’s with family and friends. But this review is specific to my latest experience with them. My husband was celebrating his 50th birthday and we decided to do catering through them. My expectations weren’t only met but exceeded substantially! Everything was delicious as usual—we ordered mixed fajitas, choripollo, rice and beans, chips and queso. I did a pickup order and everything was labeled and packaged well for quick set up. Lots of compliments from our guests too— thanks!“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch and some margaritas. Been there a few times before and let me tell you. It was the best chimichanga I’ve had by far!. The food was so delicious. The margaritas are delicious also hand muddled fruit and the bartender we had was very nice. We had a very nice girls day out!!“

“awesome food and great service“

“Great food and service. Guacamole is amazing!“

“I got chilaquiles the other day, I think it’ll be better if you use the tortillas or the tortilla soup for the chilaquiles, the salsa was sweet, the beans super watery and the rice was so salty I couldn’t eat them. On the other hand I’ve had the veggie tacos and they are very good but I’ve found pieces of ground beef which was very unpleasant but I’d be willing to try them again“

“This is truly authentic and delicious food. Great service.“

“We had täkō last night in Pittsburgh for the first time and it was SO GOOD! They had their Spookeasy pop up Halloween bar and the set up was so cool, it was pretty packed with it being Halloween weekend but it was such a cool atmosphere! We ended up getting seats at the bar and the two bartenders were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with deciding what drinks we wanted to try! The tacos.....the octopus is the BEST, chorizo was second best for me. Pictures aren't the greatest, but it's the best I got. Definitely a great time if you're feeling fancy 🍶 It's not cheap, but I'd say definitely worth it for the food, drinks, staff and just the atmosphere of it all.“

“Outstanding experience and the art is beautiful. Tons of vegetarian options and would recommend ❤️❤️❤️“

“the menudo soup are the best muy rica 😍“

“Good variety a little something for everyone!“

“Andrea served my husband and I last night!!! Really such a nice waitress! She was very quick with everything and our food was delicious!“
