Up in Smoke!
Here's what I really appreciated about Smoke Taqueria...the inventiveness of the menu! Instead of taking your everyday, ordinary Mexican influenced menu towards Taco Bell hell, the chefs decided to infuse this country's barbecue tradition into a latino inspired road trip. The beef brisket, chicken and pork tacos had a smokiness rarely encountered in local restaurants. You could smell and taste the love!
The side dishes that we chose were Macaroni and Cheese and Pinto Beans. The macaroni and cheese was okay (My daughter Muff loved it, though.) and the pinto beans were tasty. They also had a duck special that was quite special. Not overcooked or greasy, I thought that it was a tasty dish.
My only complaint with the restaurant is the spottiness with the operating times of the restaurant. The owners must get a better handle of this... Went on a Saturday during hours of operation and the place was closed. My party, along with another party made a special trip here and had no idea that the restaurant was closed.... I live in Penn Hills, so this was definitely an inconvenience
