Both of us enjoyed our entrees. My husband had two pieces of bone in chicken and they were quite small, so he would have gotten a whole chicken next time. I had the bistec a la pobre and it was a tonnnn of food for the price! Delicious plantains and Peruvian fried rice. Looking forward to going back and trying more dishes.

I have been dying to stop in here for a while! So glad I found myself in the neighborhood recently…read more Their chicken is some of the most flavorful and moist chicken I have ever had! It is so so good! I've heard great things about the chicken quesadilla so I ordered one for my daughter and I to share. This thing is MASSIVE! If you don't LOVE cheese then order a different dish. The quesadilla is absolutely stuffed full of cheese. The rice and beans also had great flavor but I couldn't get over the chicken! The fried plantains were also delicious! The spicy green sauce is SPICY- heavy with cilantro and so dang good! I've heard you can ask for it to be mixed with the sour cream which might tone down the spice but I liked it as it is. I'm not one for super sweet drinks but I really enjoyed the flaxseed pineapple tea drink. It wasn't overly sweet (while it does still contain quite a bit of sugar if you're reading labels). Service was friendly and food was served quickly. We'll definitely be back!

My sister got the chimichanga and liked it, but didn't like that it was only beef inside. She loved the plantains though! I was very excited to try El Sabor based on the several high reviews, but I was a bit disappointed. Maybe I set my expectations too high? The food was pretty good, but the meat to veggie ratio was way off for the fajitas I ordered. I ordered the trio fajitas (chicken, steak, & shrimp) and asked to only do the steak & shrimp, and to just do bigger portions of those two instead of having the chicken. There was barely any steak, and just a huge amount of peppers & onions. I don't mind paying $20 for decently portioned fajitas, but I was pretty disappointed that there was barely any meat. I would have liked more shrimp on there as well. I'm left with mixed opinions honestly. It wasn't necessarily a bad experience, just a little disappointing. Most folks seem to love it, so I'd say to leave it to your own judgment and give it a try!

We love this placeeee!!!…read more They have a sister restaurant in Shadyside.. Tocayo... but Totopo is sooo much bigger. Right on the Main Street of Mt. Lebanon, we have been here a handful of times. The restaurant has won countless awards through the years and they deserve it. Right from the jump, you can see the modern and thematic choices that transport you into an ambiance worth the dining experience already. The staff is great, always attentive, and the wait staff constantly will check in on you. This trip, we had earned some rewards (they have an awesome reward program... who doesn't like free food) so we just wanted a quick bite. It was happy hour on apps, so we just got the Carnitas Nachos and Queso. They always give chips and salsa... which is soooo good. We almost ordered the table side fresh made guacamole but the nachos came with guacamole. Let's just say two apps... STUFFEEEEDDDD us. Everything was so good. The carnitas had a wonderful smoky taste and was so juicy. Everything was fresh made. We ate and left happy for only $3.

Fresh and mostly flavorful. We got a vegan bowl ($16) and arepa ($12). The sautéed peppers were…read moreexcellent, and were THE flavor for the bowl. The plantains need a little work to be the sweet treat I have come to expect from other places. The black beans tasted no different than anywhere else where they are just a side alongside a more flavorful mean star -- and could use some seasoning when they are the "meat" of a vegan dish. Same goes for the arepa. The black beans were the bulk of it, lined by a few thin-sliced plantains and a teeny tiny side of avocado cream (~1 tablesp) on top of a fresh arepa with rather bland "cheese". For $12, it definitely left me wanting, but hit the spot in a healthy, portion-appropriate meal sort of way. Bottom line: Fresh with a lot of potential with a little more attention to portions and flavoring.

Parking is a little tricky because it is street parking only, but we got lucky with a spot right out front. Ordering is super easy and efficient. They have menus up front where you order, and then you sit down and they bring your food to you. I've never tried Venezuelan food so this really was a great experience. I wanted to try it all. Here's what I ordered: [Brown Lemonade]: Tasty and different than your average lemonade [Plaintains]: Sweet with queso fresco [Arepas]: Mine had chicken & gouda and was absolutely delicious. Soft and flavorful. [Empanadas]: These were really tasty. I really loved the beef with the peppers & onions. My friends really loved their papallon bowls, and overall, the experience was really great! This was such a unique experience with unique food. I will be back!
