I came here with three other guests after we heard that this place had Mexican food most similar to…read morewhat we miss from California. I ordered the birria tacos and one of my guests ordered the quesabirria, both of which being almost entirely flavorless. The consommé was oily and lacked any flavor whatsoever. The only thing I enjoyed was the meat inside. My other two guests enjoyed their burrito and mojarra frita, so the experience may depend on what you order. I did feel the food was overpriced, though -- our chips and salsa alone were $8. Our waiter was very kind, but unfortunately not very attentive. We waited quite a while for our check, and my water was never refilled. On a positive note, one of my guests asked for avocado and was brought an entire sliced avocado, which ended up making for some inexpensive homemade guacamole.

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. So tasty and cheesy!

Second time here but first review. We live in Shadyside and this is the place for Taco Tuesdays. We…read moregot chips and salsa to start; the salsas are on the mild side (we got roasted tomato and tomatillo and both tasted mild) so if you want spice go for their spicy salsa. The service here is excellent. In both visits the attentiveness has been perfect. The environment is musical, decorative, and darker. 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!

Both of my grandmothers were your typical Hispanic women who made the best Mexican food I had growing up. Living in Pittsburgh, most Mexican restaurants I have visited usually miss the mark and I typically never return. Not with Buenatarde! I usually avoid eating at Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh, as I'm always disappointed with the quality of the food. Most restaurants seem to use premade ingredients, which is insane cause Mexican food cooked fresh is usually not that hard or expensive. Not with buenatarde, everything we ordered was made in house. The refried beans and rice tasted almost as good as my grandmothers use to cook. Not quite, but close! The carnitas tasted really good, the only issue we had was it was a tad dry. Not sure if it was overcooked, but it did taste good. Otherwise, everything else was great and we will be returning to try the brunch on a weekend.

The refried beans with cheese, queso on top of the chimichanga, and plantains were amazing! Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and bland as you can see pictured. The tortilla could have been cooked longer as well. The chorizo was surprisingly spicy and good. The prices seem high but you get a decent amount of meat. We'd go back again and try the brunch menu or another protein.

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.

Good cocktail menu, nice short classic Mexican menu. No draught beers. The guac is good; will remind you of Kenji's but is puréed more. The house salsa comes with four different sauces of different heats and varieties; delicious. The Zippy green salsa has a very nice zip indeed, but is not overdone. We look forward to returning to try more of the menu.

Some time ago, I received a loyalty card that states: "Order 10 entrees, get 1 free!" The card…read morecontains 10 circles for stamps, with no additional restrictions listed. Instead, I was told that to-go orders do not qualify and that customers receive only one stamp per visit, regardless of how many entrees are purchased. However, neither of these restrictions appears anywhere on the loyalty card. The card simply states, "Order 10 entrees, get 1 free." If these are the actual terms of the promotion, they should be clearly disclosed on the card. Customers should not have to discover additional restrictions only after making purchases. In my opinion, this is misleading.

We stopped by on Saturday around 3pm to specifically use the karaoke room. I called ahead of time…read moreand was told that the karaoke room didn't take reservations and that we just had to show up. When we got there, there was a group in there but we were told it would be a half hour wait. We decided to wait at the bar. It was a little difficult to flag down a bartender. We the played the giant connect four game but out of the two available, one was broken and would just hold the chips in place. After the group got out of the room, it took a while for the staff to clean the room but then we were able to use it. The room's technology wasn't great - when you were using the tablet to pick another song, the screen with the lyrics would sometimes freeze. Additionally, there were two mics but most of the time the one didn't work and the other one required that you stand in certain spots in the room. It was only $15 per hour to use the room but I'm not sure I would come back and use it.

I was really looking forward to trying Shorty's at the Waterfront, but unfortunately our experience…read morewas extremely disappointing. 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 service is fast, they make it in front of you, and you have the option of picking some stuff up at the grocery store while you are there. Friendly family type ambiance and it feels good to know you are supporting a small business like this. At $4 a taco, when they are generous with the authentic meat filling, double up on the freshly grilled corn tortillas, and allow unlimited toppings made fresh daily make these tacos one of the best deals around. 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. I got the steak and onions and the pork with pineapple and loved them both equally. I got them last week and already miss them - the smell and texture of the meat, the fresh toppings, how your breath tastes after, the combo of everything together - definitely a solid taco joint
