las palmas carniceria

could be better. bieng mexican, born and raised in southern cali, having visited mexico several times and having family in mexico....how could you go wrong with tacos! i give the taco stand a 10 for the presentation, a 10 for authenticity this is how mexican tacos are served, and a zero for flavor. the only thing wrong with the tacos is the meat, the meat has no flavor which makes the tacos suck. if they seasoned the meats more i would go back to this taco stand. for now i must stay away, mexican food is rich with flavor and cooked with pride. prideless and flavorless....so sad.

tacos to go!. we stopped by the food truck last night for a few tacos. i waited in the car with the dog while my husband ordered for both of us. he brought us two tacos each - one pork and one beef. topping are self-serve so he loaded them up with i am not sure what all, but they were delicious! we will definitely return.

coming to pgh 15 years from calif.... this is the first time i have ate here. its the best food ever! i felt like i was back home in calif... the $2.00 tacos is a great value. tons of meat and the tortialls were awesome! yummy! everyone should go

wait..was i just in mexico city?. best tacos i've had since the little taquerias i used to frequent in mexico city. this is true mexican street food. 2 bucks a taco is a bargain, and they are over stuffed with the item of your choice. the meats are all excellent(carne asada, lomo, chorizo, pollo, etc) but for a change of pace try the potato/poblanos chile mix, outstanding. the only this missing (and you can blame the great commonwealth of pennsylvania) is enjoying your meal with an iced cold mexican beer. disfrute de su comida.

best tacos in town. their tacos have the exact flavor of the tacos i had when i visted mexico city last year. real authentic and delicious tacos. now they also have another taquería in oakland, and the address is 326 atwood. my only "complaint" is that this taquería only opens on friday, saturday, and sunday.

fantastic. the best $4 you could spend. i had 1 carnitas taco and 1 lomo (ribeye) taco. the corn tortillas were excellent and the self serve toppings sent them over the top. this taco stand is a true hidden gem in pittsburgh!

great place!. las palmas' tacos are the only authentic tacos in pittsburgh. i grew up in los angeles and have eaten mexican food in hundreds of places, as well as with mexican friend's families. this stuff is among the best i have ever eaten.

don't take my word for it. ask the mexicans who eat there.
what else would you need to know?

i walked into las palmas without expectation. my initial reactions were surprise and delight, if mitigated by a throbbing hangover and chills from the damp cold outside. there are just a few aisles, packed to the hilt with food, leading to the butcher case in the back of the store. along the right aisle is a single register with a slick, clean conveyor belt and polished stainless steel. a massive phone card wall, piñatas hanging, fresh baked pastries, a produce display with prices that rival the cheapest in the strip district, with no “marginal” produce. i grab a few limes, a bunch of cilantro, an onion, and two tomatoes. to the left of the aisle are rows of jars and cans: beans, chiles, salsas, sofrito, tomatoes; you name it. and several brands for each variety. i place a can of black beans into my basket.

update :  they are closing/shutting this location down sometime in mid-2016 due to their greedy landlord jacking their rent way up.   boo !
good tacos. "street tacos" sold 7 days / week (unless extreme weather) in front of their grocery store on brookline blvd. the tacos originally were $1 each . they are now $2.50 each . they have home-made tamales on the week-end which are $2 . *edit - of recent, the tacos are very very salty . too salty ! hello berumen brothers ! *
the prices inside have crept up a good bit since they opened which is a bit troubling but what can ya do ?

the real mexican tacos...!!!. the best tacos in pittsburgh !!! plus their charge a really good price and you will get in line again and again.. trust me !!! next time you are on brookline blvd. give this place a try you will understand why the people in pittsburgh can't stop talking about this place... and by the way tell them alberto send you.

inexpensive, authentic and tasty and it's in (of all places) brookline. it's a great little market and is one of the only places to buy skirt steak in town (i don't want to pay whole foods prices for that cut). i heard they make a mean torta, but i haven't been there when they're making them.

amazing. insanely good tacos. 100% authentic and just amazing. must try!
