| - If Smoke were any more hip, it might be a cliche; instead it's just extremely good food served in a warm, relaxed atmosphere with a healthy dose of fun. While the meal wasn't perfect, the flavors were excellent, and some of our tacos packed a fair amount of heat, which was a pleasant surprise.
We got the veggie, brisket, pork, and chicken tacos - the veggie was excellent, not a menu afterthought at all. The other tacos were really good, though we felt that the level of heat sometimes overpowered the original flavors, and the pickled onions and mustard seemed to be AWOL on the brisket taco - but with meat cooked that beautifully, who cares? The agua fresca was a great complement to the meal, even on a wintry evening, so don't miss it if you're even mildly curious.
Bottom line? I feel like I could order almost anything here and be happy and well-fed. Smoke has set the bar pretty high for good food in Pittsburgh for me.
