I could have not been more upset leaving this restaurant, and will not be going back. We got seated, waiter took our order. I ordered taquitos, never once did he mention to me that they were out. Finally he comes back 30 minutes later to let me know that they were out, at this point our dip was cold. He also never brought straws, silverware, or napkins. May I add when he came back he did not bring a menu just expected me to know, so I asked for one. Then he left it with me and disappeared for several minutes, finally I go to order tamales and he informs me they are also out. So on the spot I ordered tacos because I knew if I did not he would never come back. My tacos awful, it was all grease with a side of ground beef. My boyfriend and I never got our water filled either, when eating grease I would like some water. Overall very very upset, I hope they see this and fix the service for people who enter that disaster next.

Quick, friendly service in a cool spot overlooking Market Square. Margaritas are on point and so are the tacos. Highly recommend if you're downtown and looking for some quality authentic Mexican food!

Ordered the flour tortillas with my meal and received corn. They said no, they are flour. They weren't. Then I found a bone in the meat. Couldn't eat it and still got charged.
The sangria was good.

Las Velas is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh. Their food and service are consistently great - waiters are friendly and very attentive, enchiladas suizas, queso con chorizo and a fresh orchata are my top choices here. This is also my son's favorite downtown restaurant, so this is a must go for me whenever we are in the area.
