I didn't expect to be in West Mifflin because frankly, I had never heard of this Pittsburgh suburb…read more However, due to a weather-related glitch on my trip, I found myself staying overnight at the neighboring Holiday Inn Express and wondering where to have dinner. I suppose I could've driven somewhere, but I noticed this roadside Mexican spot was a quick stroll away albeit next to an unlit highway. Speed demons made the darkened walk feel somewhat hazardous, but I was relieved when I found the restaurant bustling with young married couples and kids. The bar was also busy with a lot of denim and plaid among the patrons. As a solo diner, I felt conspicuous since I was seated at the most visible table. The veteran waitress left me a menu and a basket of Mexican puffed wagon wheel chips (Photo 8). Reminding me of Funyuns, I pushed most of them aside because I wasn't a family of four. The menu listed all the familiar gut-busting Mexican favorites you'd expect at a place like this. I decided on the $17 Pollo Cancun because I saw grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, and cauliflower in the description. What I conveniently ignored was the phrase, "bathed with white queso dip". What arrived was a bubbling pool of melting cheese in a cast-iron pan topped with a few broccoli and cauliflower florets. The chicken was flattened and still cooking underneath the cheese (Photo 9). There was a separate plate for the Mexican rice (Photo 6), and another one for the iceberg lettuce, tomato slice, sour cream, and three warm flour tortillas wrapped in foil (Photo 10). When I saw all three plates on my table, I was overwhelmed, but I assume the portions are the big draw here. Once I got my routine down of assembling my tacos, they were pretty good. I wish the chicken was fresher but otherwise it was quite edible. My favorite part of the meal though was the $11 Sangria Margarita, a frozen margarita topped off with their house sangria (Photo 5). Simple but it worked. FOOD - 4 stars...better than I expected for family-style Mexican AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...very bright, kinda loudish SERVICE - 4 stars...Rebecca came like clockwork TOTAL - 4 stars...my best meal in West Mifflin, also probably my only one...unless I make it to Kennywood RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

We went for lunch on a Saturday. It's a nice space with a bar that looks like fun. We had the three…read moreamigos which was salsa, guacamole, and queso with chips. It was a great start to the meal and we enjoyed it very much. My husband and I both had tacos, and customize them. I like that you can do that. The pomegranate margarita was good but almost too sweet and the alcohol seemed very weak. I loved the Paloma cocktail, which was much better. Our server was friendly and helpful. Overall, a solid experience. We will be back and will probably sit at the bar.

First time there. Not a bad atmosphere but the food and drinks were horrible…read more Watermelon Tajin margarita was bad so exchanged it for a typical margarita...still not good. The two salsas, verde and traditional red were not good at all. They were overly thick and strange tasting. We didn't even eat a quarter of it and the tortilla chips seemed cheap. The grilled shrimp tacos hardly had any shrimp (or any filling for that matter) in them and the shrimp were very tiny with an overly sweet and gooey chili sauce on them. I only ate one of the tacos because the taste didn't leave you wanting more. At least I saved calories, I guess. We went there because we were going to a concert across the street. If I'm ever in the area again, I definitely won't eat here, sorry to say.

I discovered Salsa Sam's at the Monroeville Farmers Market and finally made it to the physical…read morelocation last weekend. As expected (because I have had some of their products at the market) everything was delicious and made fresh to order. The one down side is that tacos are fairly small for the $6 price tag. But you are getting fresh, quality ingredients made to order. Service was wonderful. I was greeted with a warm hello as soon as I walked in the door and they asked if I had ever been there before. I mentioned the Farmer's Market but not the physical store. They told me about some of their customer favorites and I got the shrimp taco. They also had me sample some queso mac and cheese because they had just made a batch for another customer. It was delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my experience and my food and I'm glad that I can get their food year round and don't need to wait for the spring for the Farmer's Market.

The taco stand is run by the grocery store behind it, which is also a good place to pop into if you're in the mood to cook up some Mexican cuisine. They have a few picnic tables outside if you want to eat your tacos there, which we enjoyed doing as we people-watched in Brookline (definitely a neighborhood we need to frequent more - there's so many good food spots here that we're just now learning about!) The tacos themselves were tasty and I enjoyed the salsas they had to offer! My husband really liked his quesadilla as well.

They make their chips in-House and I absolutely love them. The queso is a varying level of spice based on the day that you order - that's not something I really care about. Nine times out of 10 it's good. I like their enchiladas, their burritos, their tacos, their quesadillas. The only time I ever got something that I didn't like was only because it was too spicy. I will say, they are not consistent with the level of spice. The Horchata's are amazing.

At the taco festival, my husband and I bought the nachos and the churros. The prices were average, and the employee's service was very good. We liked the flavors of our nachos and churros.
