50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Pittsburgh

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

“Second time eating at this gem, bringing the family along. I had the tikka masala, and family had red curry, chicken quesadilla and Hawaiian stir fry. 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!“

“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.“

“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)“

“Great short rib queso! Great drinks and service!“

“the best Mexican restaurant I know, I love their food and their delicious margaritas 😍😍 I love viva la vida, their food and their excellent service!! 😍“

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

“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!“

“We frequent this place often - great food, good vibes, and fast service. There is plenty of seating at the bar and the tables at both the front and back of the restaurant. Never had nopal (cactus) before? Give it a try - it’s delicious! And if you like some heat, the homemade salsa that comes with the tacos is fire - literally! Just wash it down with a margarita or mezcal cocktail. You can’t go wrong here.“

“Free chips per review, great staff, gives extra meat for free“

“Teresa fue muy amable con nosotros. La comida estaba deliciosa. Recomiendo este lugar y más en familia. #Supportlocal“

“I love empanadas but ever since I found out I had a gluten sensitivity, I stopped eating them. That is until I found this gem with their corn meal empanadas shells! Their empanadas, their arepas, and those tostones, watch out now! Fantastic!“

“Checked out the BP location today - fast, friendly service and great food! Thanks!“

If you haven't eaten here do yourself a favor and give it a try! You won't be disappointed!“

“12/10, literally amazing from the main meal to the dessert. Recommend 10000%“

“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!!!“

“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!!!“

“I went to Emiliano's in Hampton with my family. The food was delicious and the service waa terrific too. I had a steak and shrimp dish that was outstanding and we also enjoyed some margaritas. We live on the other side of PA and always try to stop here when visiting family.“

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

“Delicious food and Great service 👍🏻“

“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.“

“Es una delas mejores tiendas de pittsburgh. Ahí se encuentra de todo y alo mejores precios“

“The best Mexican restaurant on Pittsburgh, delicious food and excellent drinks you guys have to try it 🤩“

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

“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“

“Great food and service. Guacamole is amazing!“

“The food is delicious!
My only issue with it is the portion size. I’m a fairly average size girl and it fills me up, but it would be great to have leftovers! The food only fills about half of the bowl and doesn’t reflect the photos from their website.
As for the pick up it was super easy to do, just click the link and open the locker! It also was made super fast, the food was ready before I got to the pick up location and I had only left about 10 minutes earlier.
Other than the portion sizes I’m super happy about the quality of food, I’d eat here over chipotle any day of the week.“

“Went for brunch and had the Huevos Divorciados - probably the best brunch of my life. I could probably eat here every day - such a cute place and nice people. The churros are fantastic!“

“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!“

“Delicious and authentic - quick and friendly service. Absolutely worth the drive, we’ll be back!“

“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“

“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.“

“Quesadillas were delicious & the strawberry monitor was AMAZING“

“the menudo soup are the best muy rica 😍“

“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.“

“I typically eat lunch out and about during the work week due to my job and I stopped at this Qdoba today. It was the friendliest, best service I have had in recent memory and it was just a five minute stop. Kudos to everyone working here. Customer service like that is hard to come by these days.“

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

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