    A taco spot that feels welcoming, fresh, and easy to keep in rotation. I stopped into @docetaqueria and it's one of those places that just feels good the second you walk in. Christie (@cmnst4 ), the owner, was genuinely so kind when we talked about coming in-warm, easy to chat with, and proud of what they've built. That energy carries through because the staff was extremely friendly and honestly couldn't wait to make up my order. I love that it's an open kitchen. You can see them pressing tortillas, building everything fresh, and actually talk to them while they're making your food. It feels interactive and intentional instead of rushed. We tried a handful of things, but I have to specifically mention the chicken tacos on a corn shell and the quesadilla because they were exactly what I wanted-flavorful, fresh, and done right. Not over-the-top, not trying too hard. Just solid food made by people who care. And that's the kind of spot I'll go back to.

    Doce Box Deal

    Stopped by for their taco box deal and definitely worth it! The tacos were great, carnitas was one of the best and they're both stuffed full! Also love their crunchy option with a soft and hard shell taco, plus the chips and guac were generous and delicious as well. Overall a real solid spot for Mexican food!

    Tres Leche Cake

    Very clean, but stark environment. I was there at 2:30PM. My server highly recommended the fish taco. The fish was mild and crispy. The base was a small tortilla topped with a smaller fried tortilla, topped with the fish and mild jalapeño coleslaw. It was small but very tasty. If you follow my reviews, you know that I don't eat dessert. Because I had such a light lunch, I requested their special dessert, Tres Leche. This was a disappointment. It was a large square of white cake soaked in milk and covered with coconut and topped with a slice of maraschino soaked canned pineapple. It lacked the richness that I knew in Mexico. The pineapple was a distraction. There was only 2 other tables occupied while I was there. The server provided the perfect amount of attention and was very pleasant. Was surprised, however, with a surcharge for using a credit card.

    Delicious food and great location. Highly recommend the brisket quesadilla! And the fish taco in the hard/soft shell combo.

    Chips and salsa. (chips in my own bowl)

    Somewhat bland and uninspired. All of the food seemed highly salted but generally lacking any other seasoning. The fish taco might as well have been made with a fish stick from the freezer aisle. The two different vegetarian tacos were fine, but somewhat bland. The Dino bowl seemed like it might be some sort of salad bowl, but the lettuce was overwhelmed and wilted while the other ingredients lacked much brightness. The various salsas were fine, but more salty than flavorful. The side of black beans might have actually been the ironic star of the show. In terms of of the overall experience, we ordered takeout and were very happy with the overall process. The online ordering page was straightforward and made it easy to customize each dish. The order was ready exactly when it was supposed to be, and the staff were all very pleasant. If you're hungry after a night out, this might be a reasonable destination for tacos and Mexican-adjacent cuisine. Probably not the kind of place that you really want to seek out.

    Cute eclectic restaurant with awesome decor. Got taco box special for 12.00. Two tacos with chips and choice of salsa, guacamole or queso. Got carnitas and shrimp. Both tacos FULL...liked carnitas better than shrimp. Lots of chips but tasted a bit stale. Lots of hot sauces to try...recommend!

    Doce is absolutely one of my favorite taco spots. Every single taco is incredible. My favorite is the potato and the fish. The pollo one is a close third though. The potato one is a MUST try. Their queso is unmatched and so flavorful. They are always on time with my order and always so friendly, no matter the location. The box deal is what dreams are made of!!! Thanks for being the best!

    Gross. Look at all that grease from the Carne Molida Taco
    Cynthia L.

    No thanks...these tacos were NOT it. Not sure how this place has such high ratings but every so often, Yelp fails me. This place is one of them. These tacos may be considered a solid choice if you've been living on the East Coast but come to the West, baby. We make them better here. My group and I wanted tacos so we searched up places close by to our location. Menu looked promising so off we went. Between the four of us, we ordered the following tacos: -carnitas -pollo -carne molida -fish -steak One star for the fish taco only. Everything else was below average. Even worse, the carne molida was GREASY AF!!!!!! (see photo attached). Plus, the meat looked/tasted like taco bell meat. Unappetizing and cheap. How the hell was it so greasy??? Yuck. Also, wasn't sure if there was option to choose between corn or flour tortilla. If there was, the cashier never told us. FLOUR tacos suck. Customer service wasn't the greatest. The female cashier looked like she didn't want to be there; hence why she probably didn't bother letting us know about the tortilla option. They don't serve water here. Not even tap. You have to BUY A BOTTLE OF WATER. Coming from the west coast, that's not a common scenario, even if it's a quick service casual restaurant like this one.

    Doce is a great spot! Your able to get in and out quick and have a quality meal. They have a nice selection of different tacos and offer a $12 box that includes 2 tacos, chips and salsa/guacamole/Queso. Everyone is super friendly and the place has a fantastic vibe. I've never had a bad meal there and always leave full.

    A tasty spot in the South Side for some good tacos! There are no bad choices here, although I didn't necessarily taste any standouts either. The fish taco has a good crispy fish with spicy slaw on top. The potato taco is a great option for vegetarians, although the potatoes aren't quite as crispy as I had hoped. The chicken taco was fine, but it didn't do anything that I couldn't have done at home. The ground beef tacos similarly are tasty but maybe not worth the $4.75 price point. The churro is a nice way to end the evening! I love the Nutella dipping sauce. There are many sodas available as well. The interior is very cool--although there is limited seating-- and the staff are very kind and fun too. If you need a quick taco fix, this is certainly not a bad option at all!

    Really cute taco shop on the South Side with a nice selection of tacos to fit any taste. We tried the Americanos, the fish taco, and the carne molida. All were very different from one another but tasty in their own way. The taco competition in this town is fierce and while I wouldn't say these are the best in the city, they're up there. But I'm not a huge taco snob. What I am is a queso snob and let me tell you, the queso here is great. The chips were a little too salty for my tastes though - not sure if they're always like that or just this batch but it did get in the way of my queso enjoyment so that's why I'm taking off a star.

Anytime my mom and I are out near Shadyside, we love to eat there. We love Mexican food and they do it so well. My husband loved his pozole soup. I had the tortilla soup today and it had such great flavor. I would be easier to eat if the tortilla strips in it were a little bit smaller. The birria tacos were phenomenal. The shredded beef is so tender and has the most amazing flavor. They're also super cheesy. The consommé really made it too. The chimichangas are very crunchy and you can't go wrong with any protein you choose. The guacamole is so creamy and tasty. Their chips are really good too. I have never had a drink there but they always look good. Go check them out if you like Mexican food. We have loved everything we have tried and you will too. Absolutely loved the birria tacos.

It is great for a date, a visit with friend, or a chance to scratch that taco itch. Now, their tacos are so good. My favorite is the chicken taco (sounds boring?); these tacos are amazing. Guacamole cream, kale, and spiced chicken. I also had chicken and chorizo, which is very good, but that chicken one is the bomb!

Both of my grandmothers were your typical Hispanic women who made the best Mexican food I had growing up. Living in Pittsburgh, most Mexican restaurants I have visited usually miss the mark and I typically never return. Not with Buenatarde! I usually avoid eating at Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh, as I'm always disappointed with the quality of the food. Most restaurants seem to use premade ingredients, which is insane cause Mexican food cooked fresh is usually not that hard or expensive. Not with buenatarde, everything we ordered was made in house. The refried beans and rice tasted almost as good as my grandmothers use to cook. Not quite, but close! The carnitas tasted really good, the only issue we had was it was a tad dry. Not sure if it was overcooked, but it did taste good. Otherwise, everything else was great and we will be returning to try the brunch on a weekend.

We'd go back again and try the brunch menu or another protein.

To start, we had the jalapeño cheese dip. The jalapeño flavor was subtle, but detectable. However the cheese tasted like American, so it wasn't the most authentic. For my main, I asked if they could add soy-chorizo to the mushroom and cheese enchilada and the waiter said they were not able to, which was a little disappointing. I ended up getting the enchilada with just soy-chorizo. It was tasty, but the soy-chorizo was a bit dry. My husband enjoyed the steak burrito, but found their hibiscus juice a bit too sweet.

These tacos are made Mexican style, meaning it comes with onions and cilantro with lime on the side. It also came with a side of grilled onions and potatoes. The potatoes were too soft in my opinion. I think if you were going for grilled side veggies, it's better to make it a tad crispy and browned. For the Taco Tuesday Special, I got the al pastor, steak fajita, and chicken tinga tacos. The best one had to be the al pastor because it wasn't dry and had lots of flavor. I opted for the red morita spicy sauce, and trust it actually has spice and kick to it. The tacos are double layered, which is nice. Decent meal for a Tuesday dinner, their menu is pretty basic for a taco place. For instance, their only dessert is churros with chocolate sauce.

The filling is already super flavorful, so you don't necessarily need extra toppings, but I like adding extra onions and cilantro. For me, a lot of the salsas were extra spicy, so my recommendation is to taste them before putting them on the taco. The ones I got honestly didn't need any extra added flavor. I got the steak and onions and the pork with pineapple and loved them both equally. I got them last week and already miss them - the smell and texture of the meat, the fresh toppings, how your breath tastes after, the combo of everything together - definitely a solid taco joint
