If I would give this place 10 stars I would. While I've enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh, Mexican food is not a strong point of this city. Smoke gives me that great down-south feeling, like I'm back in the dirty-third (Houston, Texas for the uninformed). I love it.
The menu is simple, the prices are cheap, the food presentation is bare bones, the execution is tremendous. Breakfast tacos available for dinner? Amazing. The veggie tacos are fantastic as well. The selection of sauces is fantastic, not to mention sufficiently spicy for one with a seemingly desensitized mucosal lining. Fantastic drink choices abound including horchata. What is perhaps the best part of this restaurant is the pricing! So cheap, especially when considering the high quality food you're getting. Don't forget to order up some Mac n Cheese. While not Mexican, it's comfort food that is well done and well worth it.
My only critique about this place is that I've been meaning to eat here for damn near 6 months but the only time I've actually been successful despite numerous attempts was on a weekday at 5:30 PM. They don't take reservations, and frankly it's a pain in the tush to have to wait for over an hour in homestead waiting for a seat. They really need to take reservations because this wait thing has completely gotten out of hand. Do yourself a favor and go during an off-peak hour.
