    Delicious and authentic food with great service. We especially enjoyed the Taco Toppings Bar, which had an extensive list of ingredients, including sauces, vegetables, and spices. The guacamole was outstanding and the chips were great, too. Some of you may remember the Tin Front Cafe, well Los Galitios is now in that space. I remembered the cute patio out back, and it's still there, so that's where we sat and it was delightful.

    Los Gallitos got it right - birria tacos were rich and flavorful and cooked perfectly. They got a taco topping bar which I didn't use, but it's there if you want something extra. Also tried the carajillo cocktail made with licor 43. That, along with the burning cinnamon stick, gives lots of interesting characteristics popping out (think coffee, citrus, spice, vanilla). I sat at the bar but saw a large table was seated at the end of its, so good for groups. Also has patio seating out back. People were super nice too. I would love to come back here.

    This spot is a little out of place in homestead but do not let that fool you. We stopped in at 1pm for some late breakfast and it did not disappoint. The food was so good and very fresh. The service was great and we were in and out pretty quickly. If you're looking for delicious, authentic Mexican quinine, this is the place for you. I can't wait to go back.

    I'm very interested to see how this place is doing in another 6-8 months. This is a very new restaurant in Homestead, and I was surprised by the clean and modern design of the space. It felt more like something I would find in East Liberty than Homestead. The menu on the web site includes all the Mexican fare you would expect, but it isn't clear that every item on the menu is consistently available. As an example, the site lists a brunch menu, but it doesn't seem to be available even on Saturday around noon. Menu confusion aside, the food was all very good. We ordered takeout and got some vegetarian tacos and quesadillas (i.e., with the rajas and papas filling). There's a topping bar in the restaurant itself, and the staff encouraged me to load up my take-out containers with toppings like pico de gallo, pickled red onions, cilantro, etc. The toppings were a nice touch, but trying to open up and dress my various takeout containers was less than optimal. That having been said, I don't see much of a better option for making the toppings available. It's also worth noting that beans and rice are available on the side, but aren't automatically included alongside entrees. That seems perfectly reasonable to me, but it's a divergence from most Mexican restaurants in the area. My biggest takeaways are that the tacos were great, the topping bar was a nice touch, and I would personally like to see a few more vegetable forward menu items. I'll definitely give this place another try in a few months.

    Pulled pork quesadilla

    I was kind of disappointed by this place. The prices are good and so are the portions, but the quality of the food is just OK. I came in for a very simple meal, trying their pulled pork quesadilla and chicken quesadilla. First, I couldn't really tell which was pulled pork and which was chicken because they just use so much cheese. Which, I do like cheese, but it was a bit much. The quesadilla also wasn't really toasted so it was a bit soggy. The one I believe was the pulled pork was too fatty. There were little globs of fat throughout and I just don't enjoy that so I can't recommend it too much. But, the portion is amazing for the price. All in all, if you're looking for decent cheap food, this is a nice spot. But, the meat is too fatty and quality is a bit questionable.

    OK, I know they had seven health code violations, but that was before they open their doors... When I walked in the place it was was very clean. The owner waited on me, showed me the kitchen because I worked in kitchens before and we were talking in English and in Spanish. He is aware of the health code violations from the day before they opened and everything has been cleaned and he showed me he really cares and it was really decent of him to show me the kitchen ... All right, so back to the real deal the food was the service were amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful, just maybe put a TV or watch some football or NFL. If you want to support a local restaurant, this is the place to come. If you come around 2 o'clock you can eat with the family and it's amazing . If you're one of those types of people that look at only the health violations, you're gonna miss out on really really good food and like I said the place is very clean now...

Anytime my mom and I are out near Shadyside, we love to eat there. We love Mexican food and they do it so well. My husband loved his pozole soup. I had the tortilla soup today and it had such great flavor. I would be easier to eat if the tortilla strips in it were a little bit smaller. The birria tacos were phenomenal. The shredded beef is so tender and has the most amazing flavor. They're also super cheesy. The consommé really made it too. The chimichangas are very crunchy and you can't go wrong with any protein you choose. The guacamole is so creamy and tasty. Their chips are really good too. I have never had a drink there but they always look good. Go check them out if you like Mexican food. We have loved everything we have tried and you will too. Absolutely loved the birria tacos.

It is great for a date, a visit with friend, or a chance to scratch that taco itch. Now, their tacos are so good. My favorite is the chicken taco (sounds boring?); these tacos are amazing. Guacamole cream, kale, and spiced chicken. I also had chicken and chorizo, which is very good, but that chicken one is the bomb!

From the wait staff being friendly, to a great menu, and a quirky atmosphere, Duo is my go to recommendation for this city. We took a group of different diets, and were able to make a family style meal out of it. The menu has that breadth, and is concise enough for the staff to execute well on. I really liked their ceviche and beef tartare tostadas. The lavender infused tequila cocktail was refreshing! I am definitely coming back here soon.

I was expecting it to be more of a casual taco joint, but it was far from it. The interior is modern, with a lot of warm lighting and elegant decor. We got there on a Friday around 1:30 PM, 30 minutes before they closed in preparation for dinner. Fortunately, the service was quick, and we were in and out within 40 minutes. TACOS DE SUADERO (3) - 14 Each taco contained a fair amount of beef brisket in each one. However, the beef was pretty dry and not the most flavorful. Probably our least favorite out of the tacos we ordered. TACOS DE AL PASTOR (3) - 14 Definitely more of a modern twist to tacos than traditional. I felt like there was more pineapple flavor than al pastor in these al pastor tacos. These were okay at best. GUACAMOLE Y TOTOPOS - 15 I actually really enjoyed this appetizer. They gave us plenty of guac, which was creamy and lightly seasoned. The totopos were super thick and crispy (also not too salty), and we got an extra bowl of them without charge since we had so much guac leftover. We also got an order of TACOS DE ESTILLO BAJA, which is crispy shrimp tacos. I didn't try one since the salsa and pico de gallo all had plenty of cilantro mixed in, but my friend thought these were the best tacos out of the three we tried. Duolingo... How are your tacos just as pricy as your subscription? Each taco could easily be finished within 2-3 bites. Besides the guacamole y totopos, I personally didn't think the suadero or al pastor tacos were worth getting.

We were visiting from California and were excited to eat here, so we had a few questions about the menu. The Black female employee who helped us was very short and rude when answering our questions, making us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply for asking. To make matters worse, the cups we were given were dirty. When we politely asked for the tab because we no longer felt comfortable staying, she responded by saying, "It's cool, you all can just leave." That level of customer service was shocking. Earlier, she had also rudely asked our group if we could move to another area of the restaurant because they had a large party coming in. We were happy to accommodate the request, but the way it was communicated came across as dismissive and disrespectful. I understand everyone has difficult days, and I always try to give people grace. Throughout the entire interaction, our group remained polite and respectful. We simply wanted to enjoy a good meal while visiting from out of town. I'm genuinely disappointed because we went out of our way to come here based on its reputation, only to leave feeling unwelcome. I hope management addresses both the cleanliness issues and the level of customer service, because no guest should be treated this way.

The filling is already super flavorful, so you don't necessarily need extra toppings, but I like adding extra onions and cilantro. For me, a lot of the salsas were extra spicy, so my recommendation is to taste them before putting them on the taco. The ones I got honestly didn't need any extra added flavor.
