    They buy all of their chicken from Costco and pretend like they cook it themselves

    This shouldn't be called barbecue. I've had hungry man tv dinners that taste better than this food. This is the applebees equivalent to bbq. They take precooked chicken from costco and pretend like they cook it themselves. This chicken is no smoked. They douse it with mediocre sauce and pretend like they did anything. This place is a sham and you should stay far away.

    I would stay away from this place. I've had it before and it was a terrible excuse for bbq. The food was dry and was not flavorful like true bbq. They also buy pre cooked food at Costco and re sell it, which is both hilarious and infuriating.

    Half rack of ribs

    I visited Bad Azz BBQ's stand during the annual Rib Fest at Heinz Field last Mon. Having seen at Bloomfield Little Italy Days that they were the defending Rib Fest champion, I was eager to try them out. Unfortunately for me, so was everyone and their brother, given that they had the longest line of all the rib stands that I walked by. However, I'm willing to wait for great BBQ, so I decided to bite the bullet and get in line. It took about half an hour to make it to the front of the line and receive food, but it was worth the wait when it comes to ribs. A friend and I split a half rack of ribs ($15), plus baked beans and mac and cheese ($3 each). The ribs were perfectly cooked, falling off the bone easily when we dug in. They came pre-sauced, and the sauce was delicious--it was a vinegar-based tomato BBQ sauce. While the sides were okay, I must confess that I found them a bit underwhelming, given the price. The mac and cheese noodles were on the mushy side, and had less sauce than I'd like. The baked beans were spicy, due to red pepper flakes present in the sauce. While I'm not opposed to spicy food, spiciness in baked beans seemed out of place from a BBQ stand. Overall, I enjoyed my meal from Bad Azz BBQ. I'd order their ribs again for sure, but would steer clear of the sides in the future. If you see their stand, I'd encourage you to give it a try, since they have some of the best BBQ ribs in PGH, for sure.

    Texture and flavor are both off. Service is mediocre. There are better options and better prices easily found

    Truly an embarrassment to BBQ. Pulled pork was super dry no taste and no thought behind it. I gave them an extra star for attempting BBQ .

The portion size is very generous and easily large enough to share with another person. The service has been fast and friendly every time I've visited. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with bright colors and artwork that reflect the restaurant's cultural heritage. Even the television programming helps create an authentic atmosphere and gives visitors a glimpse into Oaxacan culture. I love that they offer such unique and authentic Oaxacan cuisine right here in Carrick. The tortilla is homemade and perfectly crispy, topped with high quality steak and delicious Oaxacan cheese. My favorite parts are the green salsa, avocado, and grilled green onions. I absolutely love them. If I could change one thing, I would ask for a little more avocado and grilled green onion. I also think some grilled corn, onions, and peppers would complement the dish nicely. The radishes were not my favorite addition because they did not seem to blend with the other flavors as well. The lettuce and beans added a nice touch, and overall the dish was flavorful, satisfying, and memorable. It is wonderful to have such authentic cuisine within walking distance of home. I am already looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu. The chicken enchiladas with either mole sauce or green salsa also caught my eye.

They make their chips in-House and I absolutely love them. The queso is a varying level of spice based on the day that you order - that's not something I really care about. Nine times out of 10 it's good. I like their enchiladas, their burritos, their tacos, their quesadillas. The only time I ever got something that I didn't like was only because it was too spicy. I will say, they are not consistent with the level of spice. The Horchata's are amazing.

Since it's a food truck, there's not too much to say about it other than it's a nice yellow color that reminds you of cheese. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese while my wife went with the lobster Mac and cheese. There was maybe a 5 minute wait between ordering and our food being ready and afterwards we headed back to our house to eat. My buffalo Mac and cheese ended up being quite good as both the buffalo chicken and blue cheese added great flavor to the dish. However, as it should be, the Mac and cheese was the star. The pasta itself was cooked nicely and the cheese sauce had a great flavor to it. There was an ample amount of it too and which means that I was able to enjoy Each and every piece of pasta. My wife really enjoyed hers too and we were both pleased that the lobster wasn't exorbitantly priced. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our Mac and cheese and I would be interested in trying more of their flavors.

We got the smaller size of the bowls and they were still huge - we couldn't finish all of the rice! We also split the California Avenue roll and loved it - the pieces were also pretty big.

I would love to see them offer more sushi burrito options (currently only 3 on the menu) or a build your own style option. The sushi rolls are simple, but yummy. This is a good spot if you're craving simple, fast casual seafood, with quality ingredients. The staff have been so kind too!

The meat was so dry, like almost jerky dry. Not only were they extremely dry and cold, the portion was extremely small. The taco shells was also a let down. They looked and tasted as if they were (probably are) generic store brand shells. 5+ bucks for a taco, the shell needs to be better. yellow rice Dry and tasteless!
