Tacos are excellent, but the hot sauces, bullseye sauce, and cholula make them next level amazing ? Also, these tacos are a great size for the price. Very big, filling, and delicious!

Unique cargile

Little taco place with standing tables perfect for a quick bite. Reasonably priced for good portions. Food never takes more then 10 minutes.

Had the pleasure of eating here while visiting Pittsburgh on 10/24/23 around 1-2p. I only mention the date/time in case the owner/manager reads this as I commend and compliment the customer service, in particular, whomever was working there that day. The young man working there was observant, conversational and very pleasant. The food was equally as excellent and came in generous portions. I ordered two tacos (each one probably 1.5/2x size of most other tacos) and a small nacho which would have been more than enough by itself. Excellent place

I will say the tacos are honkin' big, but this is where the good ends. They could have had more seasoning but.. I have to get this of my chest..I will never forget the day, August 26th, 2023, when I had the absolute WORST... WOORST salsa I have ever had in my life. No I mean that. I've lived in all corners of the country (Tucson, AZ.. Portland, OR.. Miami, FL, and now here) and that, was not salsa. I don't know what I was served. It has the consistency or a watermelon slushy, the flavor of water and tomato paste, not a speck of seasoning. No lime? No salt? No nothing. Not an onion to be seen. Not even an aftertaste of anything. That was not salsa. don't even try that!I know the salsa was not the main part of the meal, but whoa, that blew my mind. I knew something was off when I opened up the to-go tub and the gelatinous salsa had formed to the shape of the lid and jiggled like Jell-o.Please please please watch a youtube video or SOMETHING and up that salsa game!

Great place to grab a taco! Menu isn’t fancy but if you’re by yourself and just want to grab tacos at a low cost, this is your place. Jalapeños on the spicy beef taco really complete the dish so I recommend adding those to the other tacos if you like the heat. I wish they still had the hot sauce at the tables, but last time I went they had a new staff member and I was very pleased. (Before, it was a bit more of a high school hangout spot. It had less social pressure but I think the quality was less consistent with 16 year old employees with no one supervising them.) I hope they’re getting good business and are able to stick around for a long time.

This was our first experience and the food was okay.We ordered the chicken taco, pork taco, beef taco, spicy beef taco, chips and queso, and a taco salad (with chicken).The salad was extremely lacking and was basically all lettuce. The chicken that was in there was not seasoned and dry. Also some of it was shredded into mush while there were also huge pieces of overcooked chicken. The entire container was shredded lettuce with a tiny bit of toppings.The tacos were good, the chips and queso were average.The regular beef taco was pretty much a bigger version of Taco Bell. (Not that much bigger for the cost difference)The spicy beef is the same as the regular with jalapeños.The pork taco was good.The chicken taco was ok. Again the chicken was not seasoned and dry.The decorations were really cool in the restaurant.

It's an okay place for tacos — not too bad in the sense of pricing. But just a difficult time regarding dining, since there's no place to actually sit and eat.

Go ahead and order three tacos. Eat two there and one when you get home. 3 small tables with no seating.

Vegetarian options: My veggie friend ate there with me

Parking: Not always easy to find parking. Sometimes I'll park at Giant Eagle 2-3 blocks away and get some steps in.

Edit: I sadly have to take away my five stars, as I'm not into the new management. Since new people took over, the portions are smaller, and the price is much higher. It's no longer a value and it comes off greedy when you consider the cost of ingredients. We sadly don't come here anymore, and it's a major bummer because we used to go a couple of times a week.
