This place is one of a kind especially in Pittsburgh. It's a rare mix of simple fresh ingredients that will melt in your mouth, a price you can afford, and plenty to eat, served that way by this pair for decades. Enchiladas, tacos al pastor, chile rellenos, and rice and beans are all top notch.

Great Mexican food spot! Generous portions at good prices, and the hot salsa is actually hot! Cash and credit taken. Interior is small so not great for parties larger than 4.

I thought it was pretty decent. I ordered the ground beef burrito. Large portions. My girlfriend ordered the chicken burrito, but bit into some chicken cartilage-not fun,not good. Price-wise ok

I called here about 15 minutes before close and the owner took my order. We ordered shrimp fajitas and combo fajitas. The food was delicious. But the customer service was amazing. I only had 30 bucks in cash and our order came to 31 or so and the owner, I believe, took the 30 bucks instead of taking my card. He also showed me all the pictures on the wall of the big burrito winners. I even heard him answer the phone after closing and tell the customer he would wait for them arrive, I'm assuming it was a regular customer. I felt like a very appreciated customer. I will definitely come back here.

Horrible, ordered via grubhub, the steak burrito was just a tortilla stuffed with rice and several pieces of meat, the 3.5 dollar sour cream on the side, was a little plastic sauce cup sized and they forgot my drink which I paid for.I dont understand how this restaurant is so highly rated, maybe the food is better when you eat there.

My mom and I love Mendoza’s. They have such wonderful food, with such generous quantities, and such an awesome price! You can’t beat their cuisine. Good, authentic Mexican food! Great, wonderful people!

As much as I wanted to love this place I just couldn't. The food just wasn't good. We ordered takeout for lunch and we were both disappointed. I ordered the #6 which was a combo that included a chicken burrito, beef burrito, beef taco and rice and beans. First of all they shoved the taco in between the 2 burritos and of course it fell apart as soon as I tried to eat it. I took 2 bites and realized I wasn't missing out on anything and moved on to the burritos. The beef burrito was literally like a block of beef with no taste to it. The chicken burrito wasn't any better. It tasted like it was made with canned chicken that was shredded. Again with no flavor. Literally just a block of horrible chicken. It didn't have beans, cheese or any sort of peppers, or spices in it. The rice was very dry without flavor and the beans had shredded mozzarella kraft cheese on top. My boyfriend ordered the chicken tacos and a chorizo burrito. He was also disappointed in the tasteless food we were served. Pretty sure they put parmesan cheese on his taco. WHY? If you can't find the cotija Mexican cheese, grated kraft parmesan is not a good substitute. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because of the portions, they were huge. Unfortunately due to the tasteless food, we threw most of it in the trash were it belonged. I don't recommend this place at all. Truly we could have had more edible food from Taco Bell and that's pretty sad.
