Taqueria Acosta operates the pop-up kitchen Taco Cat at Fat Cat on the North Side, and soon it will operate a pop-up kitchen at Space Bar. At Taco Cat, the two owners, husband and wife Chris and Roberta, and their employees serve New Mexican-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Examples of foods are huevos rancheros, biscuits and gravy, chicharrones, tacos, chicken, burgers, and salmon. A bar serves cocktails, mocktails, wines, beers, and sodas. My husband and I ate one dinner here. Chris, Roberta, and our waitress provided very friendly and timely service. I enjoyed the fun interior design with a vintage floral couch, CRT television, VCR, and landline telephone. I really liked our Rosemary's Baby mocktail, tortilla chips with bleu-cheese queso and green and red salsas, chicken quesadilla, pork taco, and quatro/cuatro leches with horchata. My carne asada and my husband's steak taco were cooked well-done rather than medium so were not pink and tender. My husband did not like his chicken taco. read more

This place was sooooo gooood. We visited the Taqueria Acosta/Fat Cat pop up They have a big cocktail menu which was super delicious. We went for brunch and the food was amazing. I got the biscuits and gravy which came with a fried egg. We also had the blue cheese queso which was maybe the best queso I've ever had. The place itself is really cute. I loved the decor. There is lots of seating at the bar and another dining area in the adjoining space. The owner stopped by and checked on us a few times which was nice. He even brought us some extra chips! So nice. read more

I've been looking forward to trying Taqueria Acosta since it switched over from Fat Cat, and came in with my girlfriends for Sunday brunch. Open 12-4pm on Sundays, they offer all day brunch specials as well as tacos, cocktails, and mocktails. Similar to the Fat Cat vibe, it was all very retro, but with a New Mexican flair. We sat on cozy couches, popped in a VHS of our choice, and were served our yummy meals on TV dinner stands. One of the friends who I was with will be moving to the neighborhood soon, and we can't wait to make this one of our regular spots! read more

Taqueria Acosta - classic margarita / huevo | pickled veg | crema | corn tortilla - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Visited today for the Sunday brunch with a group for the first time. Everything was great! There were a couple of TVs on the wall, one was playing wildlife documentaries and the other was playing a Bob Ross marathon. Random but I loved it. I had the Chilaquiles which was delicious. Perfectly cooked egg with flavorful beans and rice. Portions were a good size for the price. We didn't have any cocktails but they looked interesting! Service was also great with friendly service and frequent check-ins. We'll definitely return to try their regular menu. read more

Taqueria Acosta - DC - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So glad we ventured north today. The chips were so fresh and every one of the dips were superb! The queso had a smoky quality to it which we loved. None of them were overly spicy so you can truly appreciate the flavors. I had the tostados with chicken. Holy crap were they good! The chicken was incredible and so juicy. Love the slaw and picked veg! Really appreciated that they didn't douse everything with cilantro because it always overpowers everything else. Hubby had the chicken tacos and devoured them! Great job! 10 stars of if I could! read more

Nachos - not grande at all. Barely fed 1 person. They said the large size was shareable. Root vegetables? A few slices of radish, a few pieces of chicken. The chips were good. The quesadilla was good. But the way it was set on the plates made it look like something was missing cuz the plate looked empty. Tacos were skimpy. Service got a one star at best, but we weren't in a rush. Friends who didn't work there were trying to help out. We were given plastic silverware rolled in a napkin, a waitress came by and couldn't figure out why we got that and brought us metal sporks. The table next to us got their drinks after the meal. They staff was very friendly, probably just a bad day. read more

What a hidden gem! The food was incredible and the service was some of the best I've had in the city. Absolutely check this place out when you're on the North Shore! read more

We finally made it in for brunch and we'll definitely be back! The food was so tasty and so we're the drinks. We had the chilaquiles (ask for them Christmas style to get the red and green salsa!) and the chicken quesadilla. My husband raved about the chicken quesadilla and I could eat the chilaquiles every day! I appreciate that they offer multiple meatless protein options (I did the plant-based chorizo in my meal). Chris even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying everything, and it's clear that he really cares about satisfying the customer. We'll be back soon (and would probably be there weekly if they ever happen to open a location somewhere near the Ohio Twp/Sewickley area!). read more

Recently tried Taqueria Acosta for lunch and had a great experience. Staff was incredibly friendly. No joke, had the most flavorful quesadilla that I have ever had. The crema was awesome. Perfect portion sized. 100% will be going back! read more

We have lived in the neighborhood for 14 years and are thrilled to have this amazing restaurant here!!! We had a fabulous brunch (the vegan chorizo was delightful) and amazing service. Can't wait to go back for the dinner menu ASAP!! read more

Had a chance to visit Wysteria Lane in Louisville before Goose--wow, what a scene that is growing. One of the gems from that visit was Taqueria Acosta. They're a food truck that made the journey over from Pittsburgh and their food was fantastic. They offered a few different options, but with only one stomach, I asked if I could try 1 taco of both flavors. The good man (Chris) helping me said that wouldn't be a problem. As he was preparing them, he asked if I would like them "New Mexico-style" and I hadn't heard of that, but I was in for it. The food is delicious and I'm hoping I can see them on future Goose stops. All goodness to these fine folks for delivering absolutely, positively quality nutrition--so good! read more

The food is very flavorful and not too spicy. The owners are very wonderful and became like family instantly. We are from NM and can taste the love in the food. We would highly recommend, if you want to try something different. They have a great selection of drinks and non alcoholic options. Trivia night on wednesdays is fun as well! read more
