I came here 2.5 years ago, but at the time it was wonderful. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a pleasant, warm ambience and decoration. We were seated up top at the very corner, and had a nice view of the entire place. You can get a little forgotten if you're tucked away there on a busy day, but it's really not a problem.

I was surprised at how tender the octopus was in the 'tako' tacos, and how fresh the other accoutrement were, pairing together to make one delicious, albeit strange, taco. Everything we tried was great.

These are more gourmet style tacos, but they were 10/10. Had the Korean and the Al pastor and delicious. The queso was also really good! Coconut marg was also delicious. Really cool spot!

I love the heated outdoor space. The food is fine and the tacos have a plentiful filling. But I have n a legitimate complaint. I feel like I was exploited. I was sure I gave them two twenty dollar bills, was waiting for change and the waitress came back and said not so she said I gave her a ten and a twenty. I'm an old lady and feel I was taken advantage of. her word against mine. If you pay cash, beware!

Very limited menu. Dark inside especially if your upstairs. Good If your looking for something unique. Chicken taco was good steak was a little tough. I don't like spicy and when I took a bite of my steak one suddenly my mouth was on fire Not sure I will go back

Had a quick dinner here before the concert. The cocktails were all delicious. The chips, salsa, and guacamole were all solid. I tried the carnitas taco and the Korean taco. The carnitas taco was delicious. The sauce on the Korean taco was a little too sweet for my taste - so if you like things more on the savory side, try something different. The service was excellent!

Okay I got to keep this streak going with reviews of Carnitas Tacos! A unique rendition with a little fried pork skin crunch added. I liked it. Especially with the made on premises tortillas that held up under pressure. It's a unique spot with a funky vibe. Cool how it's all made very fresh right before your eyes. Do I have a taco problem? Bar staff was fun to chat with as well, and tolerated my dumb dad joke style sense of humor.

First of all, amazing food! Cool space too :) but what really stood out was the service. They genuinely care about you when you’re in there and are happy to go out of their way to make sure you’re leaving with a smile on your face.

Our server Hance was incredible.

Thank you all so much!! Lots of love from the plate lady. :)

Spicy pineapple margarita is divine. Loved it. The octopus in the Octopus Tako was a bit dry, probably overcooked but the dressing was tasty and veggies were fresh. Service is very good and the atmosphere is super cool. Glad that I catched their Halloween special decoration 🎃

Typical over-rated restaurant in Pittsburgh. Overpriced food mismatched with actual quality. My food was lukewarm warm at best, and smothered in mayo (shrimp tacos) or sugar (vegan tacos). Tortilla chips were oily and gross, overpowering what might have been good guacamole. Papas bravas was also smothered in mayo with no actual flavor. Food service was SLOW. Table service was mediocre at best. Richard DeShantz group should do better. Ugh.
