BEST TACOS OF ALL TIME! Texan approved!! They have a combo deal where you get juice and coffee with your tacos and a bunch of salsas. (Some of the salsas and tacos are super spicy so beware!! You can ask for some sour cream to cool you off after). Everything was delicious including the vegetarian tacos! Just try them all. Super flavorful so you can't go wrong. Need to make a trip back to Portugal just to have these again
THIS PLACE KNOWS MEXICAN FOOD!!! We tried coming here on a Thursday night around 8:30 PM, it was packed and there was a group of people outside waiting for their table. That's when you know the food must be amazing. We put our names down and walked over to a bar nearby. From the beginning, the people managing the wait list were very friendly and also very calm and organized, considering there were no less than 10-15 parties waiting for a table. Finally about an hour and 15 minutes later, we walked over again and waited an additional 15-20 minutes to be seated. We didn't mind the wait. I would say if you're in a rush, try to come earlier because they do not take reservations and it seems to get VERY packed after a certain time. Once we got seated, our waiter was great and very helpful in helping us figure out what to order. He also gave us warnings about which salsas etc were super spicy, which was MUCH needed. We ordered the black bean tacos with chipotle sauce, and the chicken tacos. WARNING: the chicken tacos are SPICY, I mean I'm Indian and I could barely handle it but it tasted soooo goood. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and somehow, even though it was spicy - you could still taste the authentic mexican seasoning they used.The black bean tacos were soo yummy too, the chipotle sauce was spicy but not too spicy. We ended up ordering another round of black bean tacos because they were so good. We didn't get a chance to order any of the other food because we were stuffed but even the tacos are anything to go by, I'm sure it's equally as delicious. All in all, a great experience!
Visited Portugal in January and I have to say this was by far the best food I've ever tasted in my life! It was so good we had to go back the next day for more! I was so sad to leave Portugal because I knew I couldn't come back to Pistola Y Corazon again. Makes me want to book another trip there just for the food!
Excellent tacos,every bite. Their salsas are exceptional, the wait staff lays them out from least heat to hottest in taste. You start with the salsas, so that you have an idea as to how hot in taste you want your tacos. The only drawback is that at dinner you can't combine tacos from the menu, so you get three tacos of one kind, still great and you can become a piggy by trying at least two sets totaling six tacos. At lunch they say you can combine tacos, but we weren't there long enough to return for lunch. We arrived just before the dinner rush, those behind us landed with a 2 hour wait. The hostess handed out chips & salsa as you wait for your table, along with taking your drink order, all to strive off the hungriest. You might be asked to share a table, great way to meet other travelers or a local who can suggest where to eat your next meal. Great food, well worth the stop if you're in Lisboa, Portugal.
In a city full of great places to eat, Pistola y Corazon is one of the best. The food and drinks are fantastic and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. While you can find these things in other places in Lisbon, the warm and friendly multilingual staff make a visit to Pistola a real treat. My favorite thing on the menu is the agua chile de camarón, a shrimp ceviche that is the perfect blend of citrus and spice. The pozole and all of the tacos are delicious, and I've never been disappointed in the creative specials, most recently a rotisserie chicken taco. If you like heat be sure to let them know. Unless you are on a Portuguese food-only diet during your stay in Lisbon, make your way to this charming place on Rua de Boavista and have a wonderful meal.
This place is awesome. We came to Portugal for amazing food, the sure seeing and the people- they really are so nice! We were hankering for a little taste of home, being from the San Francisco Bay Area, we are a little spoiled and can get excellent Mexican food practically everywhere. That's not the case at all here in Portugal, this place is absolute gem. You'll have to wait for a table but the owner is so nice and you'll be offered a drink and chips and salsa while you wait. Make sure to order the De Camaron tacos... they are to die for! Plus, the music is awesome and the whole restaurants vibe is really hip and fun. They even had horchata! I am in heaven and no longer need to fly home for my Mexican food fix!
This is the last place my wife and I came for dinner before we left Lisbon. This was so good that it's hard to describe. The place has its own vibe to it--you can get drinks in plastic bags, if you order any beer but corona they serve it to you in a paper bag. The decor is unique, the napkins are in six pack cartons, all sold out dishes have a blue "F*** it" stamp. We had the carne asada and shrimp tacos. Both were incredible. We also ordered chilaquiles divorciados, which had their own spice and make a great starter. I've had Mexican food as close to the US border as you can get, but this Portuguese take on it was outstanding. But the great part was the service. Normally my experience in Europe is that servers don't check in on you unless you call for them. Not here. We had to wait outside on the street for a table to free up and they brought us chips and salsa on the house, while we waited. Our waiter was very attentive and explained everything well. The other servers in the place also checked in on us and seemed to enjoy where they worked. Overall 10/10.
This spot is a MUST when in Lisbon. I'm from Texas and have a high bar set when it comes to tacos and this place definitely exceeded my expectations!! I came across it on the first day in Lisbon but didn't end up going until the last day here. Had I gone the first day, I would have definitely made another trip before I left. These tacos are perfection!! There is so much flavor and the meat is so tasty. I had a veggie option, carne asada chicken tinga and chicken verde. All were excellent!! I will stay if you can't handle spicy foods, stay away from the chicken tinga and beef tinga. These were extremely spicy but worth it because they were delicious! Ask for sour cream on the side to cut the spice. Our waitress saw my struggle with the spiciness and offered to bring sour cream! The taco combos come with your choice of # of tacos, a fresh juice, and coffee at the end. All for a very resonance price. They also start you with chips and salsa with an array of different salsas from spicy to mild to add to your tacos for additional flavor. The service was quick and the staff was very kind. I'll definitely remember these tacos for years to come, and will be back the next time I'm in Lisbon!!

So good we had to come back twice, gets very crowded though. Make sure you check the times to ensure they are open, I believe they close from 3-6 read more

Went to this place last night and I quite liked it. Not saying it's authentic mexican, I wouldn't know, but it was good. Good tacos, spicy sauces, and a good margarita (and a shot of tequila to end the meal, on the house). Very nice people. Go early-ish, the place is small and gets full really fast. I want to go back, try the rest of the tacos and the spiciest sauces! read more

Coming from the NYC area and having been to Mexico, my bf and I have had really amazing Mexican food so we were a bit nervous to try a new place.... Pistola y Corazon did NOT disappoint. Not only is the overall vibe amazing (from music to decor to the staff) but the actual food was phenomenal. The best tacos we've ever had were here. I was in between two different tacos and the server (who was lovely, I don't know her name but she told me she was Brazilian so shout out to her,) ultimately told me her favorite was "El Patron" which is a fillet mignon taco and that's what I went with. It was nothing short of fantastic and I highly recommend it and this restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Lisbon. Outside of all of this, there's always a wait so I recommend going before 8PM because then the line is even longer. While you wait, you can order some cocktails while waiting outside (highly recommend the horchata, it's a little spicy bc of the mezcal but delicious) and you're given complimentary chips and pico. 10/10 recommend ;) read more

WORTH THE WAIT. I'm writing this review because our drinks and the overall restaurant vibes were amazing. We got there late, around 10, and it was an hour long wait for 4 people. We walked around the city, the wait wasn't the end of the world. We got a I Smoke Cigars with Medusa, which was a smokey mezcal heavy drink. When we told our waiter (who made us feel totally at home) we loved mezcal, he recommend their margarita for our second round. It. was. so. good. It was an amazing drink. The whole vibe of the restaunt was super fun, but that might have been because we were there at closing and the end of the night, where classic Kendrick and Desiigner was playing. The food was good, we didn't try anything out of the box, although their beef tongue taco was sold out. They love spicy, as someone who doesn't like spicy it was a little hard to avoid, but the menu rated items in terms of spiciness so that was helpful. Would definitely come back for another boozey night! read more
