Great place, great food, super nice people. Just to reiterate: the Yelp listing and photos are a bit confusing since the location is now a trailer next to Primanti's and across from Shake Shack--not inside PA Market.
They are now in a trailer, tacos are great, but i personally miss the tostadas. You have to catch them when you see them by the terminal.
Authentic Mexican food from Oaxaca. By far the best street tacos in Pittsburgh. Edgar and the family are gracious and friendly
Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine in the strip. Honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had. Never even wrote a yelp review but felt needed for this place because it was so good. Gracìas Edgar!
Really some of the best tacos in city. Arrived at 1050 in the seated square outside and they told me to come on up to order early. Got the beef tongue and chorizo tacos with a shrimp tostada. The self pour salsas were delicious with a great range of spice. I will definitely be back
Cute little taco stand in an interesting courtyard setup. This place makes you feel like you're in the Wild Wild West. Horse and carriage mural included on the wall along with a Skelton having a drink at the bar. Edgar greeted us with a smile on his face and was very friendly during our visit. He cooks the food himself and has a pretty big selection on his menu including drinks. I ordered the chicken enchiladas without lettuce. They came topped with a mole sauce. They were delicious! The beans were out of this world. By far my favorite part of the meal. They were cooked just right and topped with cheese. The rice was also very good. Flavorful and not dry at all. The street corn was okay, although it didn't seem to fresh. I was surprised that it didn't have cilantro or lime. It had a sweet tangy taste to it which was unique. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and chorizo tacos and said that they were really good. I could tell that he really enjoyed them as his eyes were rolling in the back of his head as he was eating them! He was all into the different sauces that were offered to top his tacos. We plan to come back when the weather is warmer so that we can enjoy the outdoor seating.
Pictures are the chicken, steak and lamb barbacoa. The steak and chicken tacos were good but the lamb Barbacoa was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and service was super. The pricing was pretty standard at $3.00 - $3.75 a taco. Great street tacos. I would eat them again when I need a taco fix.
Great taco located right on the Strip. The kitchen was in a outdoor courtyard with some covered high tables and chairs. $3 authentic tacos--fast and fresh service.
Stumbled upon this place while walking to go somewhere else for lunch. Decided to go here instead. WOW! What a little tucked away gem. My coworkers and I loved it so much, we came back a second day in a row. I've gotten the burrito, which was HUGE. I couldn't finish it all. It was packed with rice and beans, onion, peppers, beef and everything in between. I also tried the beef empanada which was clearly very homemade and good!! We also shared chips queso/guac. Queso is so creamy and jalapeño and guac was very flavorful! The second day I got the mole enchiladas and street corn. SO GOOD. Flavorful and satisfying. You can taste all the elements of the mole. And the street corn was sweet and creamy and a little spicy. I can't wait to literally try everything on their menu. Not only does this place have great food, it's run by Edgar (I am assuming) and two other ladies. They are always so sweet and nice! Can't wait to tell everyone about this place and to go back!
