    Champagne Margarita
    Cayla S.

    Love this place! Parking can be annoying but once you're parked, the party can begin! The drinks are always good. My go-to is the champagne margarita Something about it hits just right. I haven't had an entree I didn't enjoy. Prices for everything you get are decent. Breakfast is the best bang for your buck though. Be aware that the dressing on the side salad is spicy--I've seen it throw many people off because they aren't expecting it. The space is good even for larger groups. I celebrated my birthday here with some friends, and we were a group of 6. Recently, we stopped here as part of a taco crawl group and we had about 20 people. We were less concentrated and distributed about the bar and entrance area.

    Chipotle Chicken Paella
    Amanda H.

    Decided to order El Sabor for delivery and OMG did they deliver. I got the chipotle chicken paella and my husband got the Baja burrito. We ordered the two salsas (verde and house) and chips and the chips were a generous serving and so crispy crunchy! Whatever sauce comes with the Baja burrito.... I could drink it. It's perfectly sweet and smokey and I want 10 bottles of it ASAP. We dumped some on a little bit of all the food!! The side salad that came with the burrito was also really good. Everything was bursting with flavor! The chipotle chicken paella was filling and the perfect amount of food. One of the most satisfying delivery meals we've had in a long time. Can't wait to actually stop in and try more of their delicious dishes!

    This is my 2nd time here. First time was a year ago. Both times were take out orders. First time I went food was amazing. This time we just ordered 2 chicken quesadillas. By time we went to pick up our order it was already 5 min past the time they said it will be ready. We sat there for almost 30 min due to them saying they had a catering order to get out. Mind you there were only 6 other customers there. While waiting they didn't offer any chips since we had to wait. Once we got our food, drove 5 min to get home just for my chicken quesadilla to look and taste how it looks. Never in my life have I had a soggy quesadilla, not even from Taco Bell. I'm so disappointed in the lack of quality they gave us. When have you ever been ble to stick a fork in a well prepared quesadilla.

    Baja Burrito
    Haley P.

    Yum!! The Baja burrito with steak was delicious. My friends and I stopped in here on Friday night, and it was busy but we were well taken care of. Our food came out quickly once we ordered. The classic margarita is also very good!

    Amazing atmosphere, beyond delicious food, and kind and attentive staff! The fajitas are a 12/10 and great leftover, too. Drinks were memorable, and the staff were so helpful and nice. This is a fantastic place to bring a date, friends or family!

    mezcal margarita

    Unique, inventive takes on Mexican and Latin cuisines with more-than-generous portions and spicy margaritas. I came to this place mainly because they were open late(r) and were in a part of PGH I hadn't visited yet. I got the tacos and they were unlike any I've ever had...in a good way. Almost a hybrid between multiple different taco variants. The most important thing is that, unlike so many SoCal-style taco interpretations, these didn't leave me wanting for more!

    Blood orange margarita
    Anna M.

    I have been to this place a few times. I liked it! I don't think it was anything to write home about but it's definitely a cozy spot with good vibes and comfortable food. The staff is amazing. I'd like to highlight Jordan, she was fantastic and very kind. The service was a 10/10 which made the place. El Sabor is also decorated for Christmas and it looks great. I recommend this spot!

    Fresh-Made Guacamole
    Trish T.

    Pooped in for lunch yesterday - a super sleepy Saturday. Fun, colorful vibe, though these poor people seem to constantly have to deal with road construction! Parking is rather challenging. That said, the place is worth it. You'll be rewarded with some of the best fresh guac I've had - most definitely the best in the Burgh. The "fresh guac" is under the app section. The guac under the chips section - the server told us - isn't necessarily fresh. "Could be from last night," she told us. It's around $8 vs the $15/$16 fresh option --- pricier but there's a lot of it. The chips were nicely toasty, corny - and not at all salty (hurrah!!). They have Negro Modelo on tap - double hurrah. Their tacos come 3 to a platter, so hubs and I split a platter of shrimp tacos w/ corn tortillas. It was more than enough food for us. The corn tortillas were flavorful and shrimp plentiful (nice roasted flavor)--- though I wish the cabbage had a spicy aioli mixed in as opposed to just plain raw cabbage. The tacos are accompanied by a green salsa & a spicy red. (If you want more salsa, you have to purchase it. The rice and beans was quite tasty. At first, I wasn't sure that the brown liquid next to the rice was actually beans -- it's puréed so finely - but it's packed with flavor. Yum. All in all - a great lunch. Can't wait to return and try some of their platter meals.

    Small little hole in the wall restaurant in Penn Avenue. It's pretty cute on the inside. I sat at the bar and we were served pretty quickly. The bartender was very nice. I ordered the Fajita Trio with Steak, Shrimp and Chicken. The beans were watery and the rice was bland and hard. I will say that the steak was a decent flavor as well as the peppers and onions. For a quick bite it wasnt bad but I do prefer other places to this one.

    Guacamole & Chips
    Maansi S.

    This restaurant has been on my list for a few years! Happy to say it was worth the wait. We started off with appetizers, some chips and guacamole. The guacamole tasted amazing, and the pico on top is a great touch. For the main meal, I got the Pittsburgh style tacos with tofu and black beans and my friend got the Pittsburgh style tacos but with beef and black beans! While the beef/bean combo was not on the menu for the tacos, the waitress was still able to add that customization! Finally for dessert, we got the tres leches cake which was also amazing. As a vegetarian, this place is probably now my favorite Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh!

    Chile rellenos.
    Mike B.

    Good. The fajita salad was probably something we could have cut from our order. Just get the fajitas and some other salad. The chile relenos was somewhat different from what I expected: the description suggested that this was more of a stuffed pepper type dish, but the reality was essentially a stuffed pepper swimming in cheese sauce. That's fine, but not what I was looking for. We'll adjust accordingly in the future. The tacos were good, but note that each taco order comes with three tacos (something that isn't entirely obvious when ordering, but certainly something that might have been implied). The vegetable fajitas were great and everything we would expect. In terms of ordering experience, that was all fairly easy. We did takeout this time, but the space is nice and would be an excellent dine-in destination. All told, this was a great experience that I would certainly recommend (and will try again).

    Tacos Al Pastor
    Jack R.

    The best Al Pastor I've had. Large pineapple chunks and super tasty pork. The cheese on top with the tomatillo green sauce made for a great combo. Rice was a good side too. Staff was very quick taking orders and bringing food out.

    Ground beef tacos
    David R.

    I have driven past this restaurant so many times, and finally was in the area and got to stop in. It is a small place - a bar/restaurant, and the food packs great flavor. I tried their ground beef tacos. I am glad I stopped by and will definitely return. They also own the restaurant Buenatarde in Shadyside, which is closer to where I live and I have that also on my list of places to visit! Buen provecho!

Great spot for dessert after dinner or as part of a date, too. I specifically went in for the "fancy" hot chocolate, which is made with real chocolate pieces. The baked goods were also tasty - my only suggestion is to make sure you ask to have your item warmed up, depending on what you get, as they are kept in a cool case and something like a brownie for example was pretty hard to eat. The sever did recognize this and offered to heat it up after the fact; which made it perfect. All of the baked goods were perfectly wrapped or garnished. The interior has a decent amount of seating and lots of dried flowers everywhere. Definitely try the hot chocolate!
