| - I came here on a whim with a couple of friends, and although we didn't have a reservation made 4 months in advance, they were able to squeeze us in on the sidewalk tables. So, I can't speak to the décor and atmosphere of the restaurant so much as I can say that it's fun watching the crew make tortillas and tacos in the fishtank kitchen area they have going on. I ordered the mushroom tacos because I had eaten a large snack before I went out (not knowing if food was going to be involved for the evening), and wasn't hungry for my usual standard starter of carnitas tacos when trying out a new taco joint. I must say, I was pretty blown away by those mushrooms. Don't let their veggie status fool you--they are pretty substantial. And tasty. One friend got another type of taco and though I can't remember which one she got, I do remember her liking it. My other friend ordered ceviche, and the chips that came with it were self-replenishing, I swear. We all three were picking at those, and there always seemed to be more! The one thing I really wasn't super impressed with were the cocktails. The first one I ordered was advertised as being "stupid spicy", and I tasted more mix than anything. Spice level = 0, which is what I affectionately call "Pittsburgh spicy". The second cocktail was better, but not particularly memorable. I would definitely re-visit this place with a proper res, if for no other reason than that I'm a fan of this restaurant group and a sucker for tacos.
