los cabos mexican restaurant

good one!!.greatvegetarian options. fresh veggie taco was delicious! their salsa is one to die for!! kudos.. have had many more veggie options here (burritos, enchiladas)- all were great. try the desserts as they have some good ones on the menu.

great tacos. one night, my boyfriend and i decided to get los cabos for takeout, being that we were in the mood for some tacos, but not in the mood to pay the price for tacos at verde. (very good, but expensive) we ordered about 6 tacos in a variety of flavors. they were all wonderful, except the potato. it was more like a mashed potato in a tortilla, and the toppings didn't add much flavor. my favorite taco is the pollo asado. overall,greattoppings,greatfood. the only other complaint i have with them is they consistently say 20 minutes for your order to be ready, and i'm usually there waiting another 10 for it. but, well worth the wait for some yummy tacos!

true socal mexican!. finally a place that actually tastes like baja mexican food! being born and raised in ca, i love good mexican food, but after moving here 2 years ago have been very disappointed in the heavy, bland tex mex offered here. the salsa has a kick, chips are freshly made, tortillas are soft and delicious, and the carne asada burrito had agreatbalance of guacamole, meat and pico de gallo. will definitely go there again!

true southern california fare. to the guy who says "why is my taco lost in the lettuce" -- that's how it's done, baby! go to san diego and it's exactly the same. it's not about a meaty cheesy goop, it's about healthy living !

chile relleno, a nice low-cal dish, cheap too.

tasty and well presented. shrimp cocktail with the spice isgreatto sip on a hot summer day.

good stuff!. i have been satisfied every visit!greatfood and staff--very attentive. probably the best mexican i have had since moving to pittsburgh.

i've only been here once so i'll revise this after i go back. ordered 2 carne asada hard tacos and refried beans. no steak but shredded beef w/o much flavor and the beef seemed to be of average quality. the corn tortillas weren't thatgreat(reyna's wins hands down with their daily made ones). refried beans were very average. i didn't finish mine and helped a friend work on his nachos which were good. another friend was given a sample of flan and she said it was pretty bad. i think the problem with this place is/will be people who want a place who uses higher quality ingredients.

also when i see # 10 cans of standard brand tomatoes in the summer it's a bad sign for me. not impressed.

yum. couldn'twait for this place to open. my husband and i love mexican food. but good mexican is hard to find in pittsburgh. the portions are big and the price is right. haven't been dissappointed in anything i have eaten here. but my favorite so far is the shrimp quesadilla. only downfall is i love margaritas too. no booze here. hopefully they'll get a liquor licence soon.

awesome. finally a good mexican restaurant in pittsburgh. i have been hear a bunch of times and have never been disappointed. prices are reasonable and portions are large. service isgreattoo. hoping the get a liquor licence so i can enjoy a pacifico too.

great place!. we went there the other night as a last minute dinner option. it was amazing.greatfood for the price and the staff are friendly and welcoming. the atmosphere is nice for a place like this. i recommend it.

vegetarian options are good, meat is meh. the chile relleno burrito is awesome. the fact that they have horchata (rice milk with cinnamon - it's in that big jug on the left) is almost unheard of in this city. try it - it tempers the spiciness of the food. their meat seems to be not thatgreat- either overcooked or too greasy. free chips and salsa, though.

great authentic mexican at agreatprice.

not bad but hope it will get better. my boyfriend and i had been discussing how wonderful it would be to finally have a mexican place in our 'hood. we are die hard "east enders" and we tend to keep our money local. we went on a thursday evening around 6pm and were waited on quickly. the lady taking our order was friendly and the entire staff was helpful.. we were handed menus and told to place our orders up front. we took a seat to review the menu and a very cordial gentleman brought us some chips and salsa. the chips were fantastic and the salsa wasn't bad. one or the other could have used some salt, although i appreciate that neither was salted. this gave me the option to salt my chips.
we both ended up ordering the same thing; a combo of beef taco and chicken enchilada with an additional tamale for one dollar. i ordered one order of beans and rice for us to share. when they brought out our order, they had given us both beans and rice, which was nice. here is what was great....the food was hot and looked fresh. the enchilada sauce was great, the tamale was perfect even though it was chicken and not beef like on the menu, and the hard beef taco wasgreatalthough a little greasy. the only thing i can really say was not good was the chicken in the enchilada. it tasted like it had been boiled with no seasoning and then added to the mix of onions and peppers later.
i will certainly go back. i am hoping that anything that wasn't good was due to it being opening week. my displaced texan boyfriend couldn't find anything bad to say but he would eat a baseball mitt covered in mustard and like it.

pretty good burrito. i was excited to try this place. i went around lunch time (1:30) and it was packed, so i decided to come back later when things had quieted down. the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was pretty good. i had a pollo asado burrito and it was tasty and filling. the chips were nothing special, but the salsa was delicious and tasted very fresh. i decided to order a taco too, but it wasn't as good as the burrito, and fell apart in my hands (it would have been better if it had two soft corn shells instead of one. also, some cold slaw and some sliced limes would have been a nice touch.)

some things that could make this place a little better:
it seems like this place can't decide if it wants to be a sitdown restaurant or a taqueria. i wish the prices were slightly lower, the portions slightly bigger, and that everything was done more like in a taqueria. they use plastic silverware, styrofoam plates, and styrofoam to-go containers which seems wasteful. i like my mexican food fast and cheap, and if i could order burritos and tacos here and just get them wrapped in paper and foil (taqueria style) i'd be set. i like it when taqueria's use those reusable plastic baskets with paper in then. and if you must have to-go containers, please make them paper! i'm guessing these sorts of changes would save them a lot of money as well. maybe they'll give it a try? i don't think bloomfield really needs another sitdown restaurant, but we could sure use agreatto-go taqueria.

in any case, the food i ate had some good flavors going on, and the people working there seemed great--i hope they do well and that they stick around. i'm going back in a few weeks after they've been open a little while longer--who knows. maybe by then i'll be able to get a wrapped up burrito to-go???

hmm i don't mark. . .you must be confused with another restaurant. i also went there today and had a carne asada burrito. it was pretty filling and very packed. i don't think it was pricey, for the amount of food andgreattaste i believe it was right. the servers and the rest of the staff were great!! i was told that they had the best chef from the west. he has been a chef for over 27 years, now that's experience. i hope every one gets to enjoy this place and i hope it lasts long too. good luck!!
