| - Situated in the old Walnut Grille spot right on Route 19 in Mt. Lebanon sits Totopo. A convenient parking garage is almost directly across the street, and costs $1(!) for more time than you'd spend in the restaurant.
This is one of the nicer Mexican restaurants inside in the area. Nice decoration and ambiance including a huge Sun picture on the wall. It looks like there is plenty of seating.
The service was spectacular and really suits the likely regular clientele from the area. They were fast, efficient, and authentic. Both in terms of the food and desire to please the customer.
The drinks we chose were the Margarita and the Mexican Mojito. Both delicious if only a little light on the alcohol in the Mojito.
The table side guac is a really nice touch and absurdly fresh. You can say light on the japo's or onions, or anything but "more avocados" although I think they used four. Mixed in a stone pestle. It's $10 but is really worth it. Goes great with the fresh tortilla chips and thin slightly spicy salsa.
The main dishes we chose were the fajitas and topo-changa(ie boy meets chimichanga, if you catch the ref) which was a delicious take on the texmex dish. Everything was sizable and delicious. I was happy with the portion sizes, the taste, and the price.
The drinks are $7-$10, the entrees about $15, and many smaller dishes for less.
The dishes were more polished than other similar places, plating was done nicely, and overall a great contender in this genre of food.
We'll definitely be back! Definitely recommended.
