| - This is one of my favorite little restaurants in Pittsburgh. It's cash only, so be sure to bring cash, but know that it's totally worth the inconvenience of carrying around cash! They are moving locations to Lawrenceville soon, but for now they are located near the Waterfront, right on 8th in Homestead. It's really easy to find street parking, or there is a lot almost directly behind it.
The atmosphere is quaint and inviting. There can be a wait if you come during a peak time, but if you come closer to 11 on a weekend, you will be fine. Even if you have to wait a while, it is totally worth it!
One of my favorite things about Smoke is that it is BYOB! Hallelujah! Why aren't there more BYOB spots in Pittsburgh? Silly Pittsburgh.
The tacos are outrageously delicious, and I think they are worth every penny-about $4-$5 per taco. The sides are inexpensive as well, only $5 for the most filling, delicious mac and cheese you will ever taste in Pittsburgh, and around $3 for pinto beans with jalapenos, and apple jalapeno cole slaw.
The pulled chicken taco with avocado crema is my absolute favorite. I also love to get the veggie taco and add avocado crema. Grilled veggies, black beans + avocado crema = heaven. The mac and cheese is out of this world. It is creamy smooth, and topped with crunchy bread crumbs and served in a mini cast iron dish. I can never even eat half of it as it is extremely rich, so I always take it home and enjoy leftovers the next day...or maybe later than evening.
I can't say enough about Smoke. It's delightful.
