    Has an open taco bar to street (requires checking in with host). INCREDIBLE food quality and variety in terms of creative drinks and food dishes! Must try!!!

    And let's not forget the desserts - I had Tres Leches and it was really good. Highly recommended! 😍

    I had the grilled chicken tacos (one of the few options if you don't eat spicy) and the others had Korean tacos and ceviche - they were all delicious. Try Korean only if you can handle a 7-8/10 🔥🔥🔥

    Here you will find a good selection of street-style tacos. The presentation and executions of the dishes make the place one of the top taco restaurants in Pittsburgh!

    Korean Tako was amazing and flavorful! Highly recommend the Baja also. Bistec was great, but not very unique. Chips here are on point so get either salsa or guac.

    -I'm a huge taco fan so I'm sure you can imagine Tako is one of my favorite spots. Food is a little pricey but once you bite into one of those gourmet tacos you'll know it's worth every penny.

    Love the vibe & the newspaper menus. Really interesting tacos - the mushroom tacos were awesome, so filling!

    What's good here? Lots. Tacos that must not be missed: Al Pastor, Korea, and Tako. Also, the street corn is every bit as good as everyone says it is.

    Tako (octopus) taco is not to be missed! Don't skip the beet tostada (pictured) or queso either!

    Check out the Bistec tacos! Beef was cooked to perfection.. Melt in your mouth worthy. 🙌🏽

    This place rocks. Great guac, awesome tacos (try the Korean or pork belly) and the ambiance is the lime on top.

    Explosive culinary sensations for us were the "Korean" and the "Mushroom." Magnificent blend of tastes taco-ed to perfection.

    The red sangria is very good. Probably the best I've had. Also tried the "old fashioned," and it did not disappoint.

    Al pastor, carnitas a must. So good but sooo good all the wait will worth it.

    Queso fundido is an awesome starter. Al pastor tacos were decent.

    Must visit when in Pitt. Tacos that rival the best I've had and make your own guac!

    Great tacos, definitely, but is it worth $6-9 per taco? I'm not sure

    Make reservations. Even if you think you don't need them!

    Don't get the chips, I would bet they literally open up a bag of Tostitos in the back and put them in the chip box for you. The salsas however are alright so it's a catch-22.

    I tried to come here for dinner but the wait was so outrageous that my girl friend couldn't bare it any longer. Next time I'm leaving her at home because I really wanted tacos!!!
