Duolingo opened a taco spot? We definitely made an effort to check it out during out weekend trip to Pittsburg trip last week. I was expecting it to be more of a casual taco joint, but it was far from it. The interior is modern, with a lot of warm lighting and elegant decor. We got there on a Friday around 1:30 PM, 30 minutes before they closed in preparation for dinner. Fortunately, the service was quick, and we were in and out within 40 minutes. TACOS DE SUADERO (3) - 14 Each taco contained a fair amount of beef brisket in each one. However, the beef was pretty dry and not the most flavorful. Probably our least favorite out of the tacos we ordered. TACOS DE AL PASTOR (3) - 14 Definitely more of a modern twist to tacos than traditional. I felt like there was more pineapple flavor than al pastor in these al pastor tacos. These were okay at best. GUACAMOLE Y TOTOPOS - 15 I actually really enjoyed this appetizer. They gave us plenty of guac, which was creamy and lightly seasoned. The totopos were super thick and crispy (also not too salty), and we got an extra bowl of them without charge since we had so much guac leftover. We also got an order of TACOS DE ESTILLO BAJA, which is crispy shrimp tacos. I didn't try one since the salsa and pico de gallo all had plenty of cilantro mixed in, but my friend thought these were the best tacos out of the three we tried. Duolingo... How are your tacos just as pricy as your subscription? Each taco could easily be finished within 2-3 bites. Besides the guacamole y totopos, I personally didn't think the suadero or al pastor tacos were worth getting.
Duo's in East Liberty explores Mexico's incredible culinary heritage. Dishes and drinks like their aguachile and agua fresca brought me back to my trip to Oaxaca! We sat outside in their spacious patio since it was so nice outside. The inside has large gorgeous bar and plenty of seating as well. Our server was nice and patient even though we had trouble yapping instead of looking at the menu and ordering. Everything we had was flavorful, fresh, and delightful. You can't skip out on dessert and while the tamal de cacao might look a little unusual, I promise it's delicious!
The inside was really cute and well designed. Definitely more modern. Service was attentive and quick. The food portions were a bit smaller than I thought but they did put a good about of protein on each taco. I enjoyed the fish one the most because it was flavorful and not dry. The chips and guacamole were pretty good. Overall decent place but nothing that stands.
Love everything about this place. The vibe, the food, the service...all 5 star! We have been for brunch and for dinner and both times were excellent. The drinks are amazing and while the menu isn't huge, what they do offer is elevated and delicious. The margaritas are not made from a pre made mix and the food didn't disappoint. Roasted chicken was my favorite and the guacamole is crave-worthy. Street parking can be a challenge.
I will say the portions are quite small but with everything being made in-house, it's worth trying out this authentic Mexican restaurant! The modern vibe from the menus to the plating to the interior design makes it a cozy spot for evening drinks or weekend brunch. We got to try the pozole verde, chilaquiles, an horchata, cafe de olla and an agua fresca. The star of the show was the corn pancakes and the chocolate concha.
Duo's restaurant is owned by the educational-technology company Duolingo. Its website says that it serves foods inspired by Mexico City and Mexico's 31 states. Examples of menu items are tacos, shrimp cocktail, flautas, NY strip prime, rotisserie chicken, goat birria, octopus, and flan. Options are available for meats, seafoods, and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free foods. This restaurant also has a bar that serves cocktails. My husband and I ate one lunch here. Our hostess/waitress provided timely and friendly service. Considering that my husband is of Mexican descent, and we have eaten authentic foods in several Mexican cities, here are my ratings for what we ate here: Tostadas de Atun - 4 stars - Big eye tuna crudo, avocado, salsa negra, and sesame seed were atop tostadas. The spiciness was moderate. My husband took a couple of bites, and I ate the rest. Quesadilla de Col Rizada - 4 stars - A large tortilla was filled with kale, queso oaxaca, chivo blanco beans, and salsa ranchera. I thought that this quesadilla tasted good. Tacos de Cachetada - 3 stars - These soft tacos contained prime ribeye steak, costra cheese, salsa crudo, asada onions, and cilantro. My husband called these tacos "bland," and he used my salsa to add flavor. In addition, the tacos were soggy. The total price for this one appetizer and two entrees was $50 plus tax and tip.
I got the pollo rostizado (4/5), which was a lot of food; it was one of the few times I've had leftovers. It had a good flavor, but I wish it had less sauce, more beans, and a bit crispier skin. The quantity definitely justified the price; a lot of the other options seemed expensive for the amount of food. The service was good (4/5), and the restaurant is quite well decorated with a fancier interior, making it a great date night spot (4/5).
Another excellent visit here, though upon my second visit there are definitely a couple of things I think could stand improvement to make this five stars. Still love the vibe and love the tacos! I got the oyster mushroom tacos again which are an absolutely amazing vegetarian choice. My friend got the al pastor tacos and was very happy with them. On my last visit we got the queso fundido, which got very hard if you let it sit for a minute. This time we got the guac, which the server recommended with a special preparation that included some salsa with jalapeños and the queso. It had an underlying smoky flavor and was delicious, and hot when you hit a jalapeño. I liked it a lot and liked that the server proactively brought us more chips so none would be wasted. I ended up taking the leftover of this home and it was just as good there. I got an Agua Fresca as I did last time and these are nice choices as nonalcoholic drink options. A couple of small misses here. First, being a Duolingo concept, this place has no right to be such a fantastic restaurant, which it truly is. One of Pittsburgh's best. Still, you come here as a Duolingo learner wanting to feel connected to the concept in someway and the only connection is a neon sign of Duo at the entrance. I feel there should be some tie to the learning via a QR code or something special to make you feel engaged if you are a Duolingo learner when you are here. I currently have a streak of over 1000 days and feel very connected to the learning and the company. Also, the dessert menu is only three items none of which got us particularly excited. The dessert menu could use a little upgrade to make the end of the experience as great as the rest of it.
Drinks are a 5 food a 3. Went for lunch all had tortillas. The tortillas were very dry and the everything lack salt. Order them with cheese to at least add salt. The star was the chocolate tamale.
This was a long awaited visit to a place that we were so excited to check out. It did not disappoint. While I would've expected, there would be a casual multinational food court because that would be more along the lines of Duolingo's style, this authentic Mexican restaurant was amazing. The service was impeccable, and the food was really top-notch. These were not your regular American tacos or American chips and guac. We had flan for dessert, following flautas, well spiced tacos, and super fresh appetizers. Believe it or not the founder and CEO of Duolingo himself was casually hanging out at the bar enjoying his evening. I was honored to be able to have a few quick complimentary words with him. If you're in the area or if you're a fan of tacos, check it out.
I'll start w a summary - Overall, the food was okay. I wouldn't come back for it but the service is what puts this place down so much. The manager was the only person that seemed professional and attentive. Bar seating was so uncomfortable that I ended up standing for some of my meal. Entered around 7:45 and was told it was 45 minutes for a seat so we gladly took bar seating. Staff initially politely greeted us. We ordered our appetizers and a drink. My girlfriend's espresso martini was stiff and flavorless. The tostado de atún & flauta de tinga were both good. The problems started after our apps. We waited quite some time before the bartenders asked us what we wanted for an entree. For a period of time our waters were empty. Our dinners came out and the birria was okay but not great, kind of a watered down broth with an aftertaste of spice. The gringa al pastor tacos were good. The pollo rostizado was too messy to want to eat in a restaurant. The bar lighting was also so dim that my friend didn't realize the color difference to realize what was salsa vs black beans. We then waited at least fifteen minutes after our meals were finished if we wanted dessert. There were two bartenders that didn't seem to communicate at all so one asked us if we needed anything else after we were waiting 10+ minutes for our desserts already. The desserts - flan & tamal de cacao - were fine. The flan was thicker & creamier than most, which I preferred and had a strong caramel taste if that's your thing. The mousse was airy but the tamal was 99% corn and 1% chocolate flavoring.
Excellent Mexican food, including tacos and more meaty main dishes. Gigantic portions for a fair price. Nice date night vibe but also some larger tables for groups and families. Our server told us that the street food portion of the menu would have smaller and sharable plates. They were sharable but not small! The chips and guac are a formidable starter; very dense chips and a heaping mound of guac. The tuna tostadas are filling as well. Nice change of pace to have raw tuna on a menu with many other cooked meats. We also got the flautas, which are chicken stuffed hard-shell tacos doused in salsa verde. They were humongous and delicious. The order came with two and I could only eat one by myself. We also got a side of frijoles refried black beans to take home for our 9-month old (great baby food!). We would have been stuffed after those sharable plates. But we thought we must try a main dish and ordered the pollo rostizado. It included four large pieces of chicken (two breasts, a thigh, and a drumstick, from my count). I mean, that could have been our dinner in and of itself. The chicken was very tender and juicy. My only constructive feedback is that some of the dishes were too saucy. The flautas could have had half as much salsa verde and still been delicious. The chicken came on a bed of black beans, but those were washed away in an ocean of sauce.
When you drive by, you may not know what's inside. But what's inside is a lot, and it's very good, too. First off, the decor is very cool, and the music is authentic Mexican. The hosts were very warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and it came out fast. They have a nice collection of Mexican sodas. There are booths, tables, bar seating and lots of outdoor seating. I heard employees of Duolingo eat free on Wednesday nights, so everything was hopping. I'm a Duolingo customer, so this was a fun evening for me. I think anyone would enjoy it here

When I read about this place opening, I thought it was just a window to order at - was very pleasantly surprised to see the dining room! Vibes are very fun and cute, not too many tables crammed in so felt intimate. We ordered the salsa y totopos, lengua tacos, and suadero tacos. I also got the cocktail named where there's smoke, which had carolina reaper infused benedictine. My takeaway is that everything we ordered was VERY spicy, which is probably authentic. It was delicious but def something to be prepared for if spice isn't your thing. The lengua tacos were something I had been wanting to try for awhile and they were my favorite, the suadero tacos were a bit too heavy for me. Our server was so nice and friendly. It happened to be dia de los muertos when we came and even got a complimentary dessert and beverage. Overall we had a great time! read more
Stopped on a Tuesday evening. We had made online reservations beforehand and got seated quickly by EL, who was super friendly and gave a great vibe that was inviting and made me want to be there. Decor is clean and relaxing. Got there by the end of their happy hr, which is 6:30. Ordered margaritas, and they were great. Both hubs and I ordered tacos, I do not speak or read Spanish, so for me, the menu took some effort even though ( could totally just be me) there is English in the description. I am not sure of the name, but I got the beef tacos and hubs had the pastor. The food is definitely delicious, no questions. Our waitress Phebe was great and informative. The only downside really is that $15 with a $3 fee for cheese for 2 street tacos is way more costly than it should be. For $18 for 2 street tacos, can you at least add chips or an ice cream scoop of rice? read more
o m g! I've been wanting to try Duos for a while and omg it was amazing. The service, ambience, food... everything! The location is pretty hidden in the strip on Penn Ave but it's a must try! Honestly some of the best tacos I've had in the Shadyside/oakland/east liberty area. Everything was also super reasonably priced. The Suadero tacos and white fish tacos were both phenomenal, very different vibes from each other but both so so so delicious. I can't wait to go back!! read more
Duo's pleasantly surprised me! I had a Brazilian limeade (a bit too sweet for me), queso with chorizo (a great app!), Al pastor tacos (I loved these + great for sharing!), and the chicken entree (stand out dish). For the entree, the staff recommended shredding off the bone and making tacos. The chicken was extremely tender, and the sauce was tasty. The only odd thing was that when I arrived they said bar seating was the only option, however the restaurant wasn't during my 1.5hr spent there. If you're going with a group I recommend reservations for any night of the week. read more
What a terrific little find in East Liberty. A beautiful restaurant with the most kind and knowledgeable staff. The guacamole was tasty and the salsas were so fun to try! The totopos (tortilla chips) were much thicker than I am used to but they were tasty and homemade. The fish tacos I got were so good and I could have ate 12! A smaller menu, but great variety. Go try out your spanish and enjoy a lovely meal. read more

The food was great I've been wanting to try this for a while and I'm glad I finally got the opportunity to. From the front door it doesn't look like much but it opens up and we sat upstairs it looked great. We started off with guac, tartare tostadas, and my girlfriend got the salad. Everything was excellent well balanced and refreshing. Birria de Chivo is the main dish we ended up getting. Honestly the best Birria I've had in Pittsburgh and the Flan and Churro for dessert topped it all of absolutely amazing! And the bar had a liqueur that's been evading me and the bartender knew how to make it excellent service right there. read more

Drinks were delicious. Food was delicious. Only downside, the shells split pretty quickly. Also they do play music with a DJ on some nights so plan accordingly if you're not interested in that vibe. We also had the ceviche which was interesting and delicious and the salsa flight which was good but a little spicy for this incredibly white girl read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch at Duo's. Two of us had the Chilaquiles Rojos which featured a perfectly over-easy egg that dressed the cilantro-rich sautéed vegetables and the spicy sauce. I don't know what the sauce was exactly--"tomato-ey" but darker and richer. One of us had the traditional Salvadoran breakfast --eggs laced with finely chopped vegetables, refried beans, cheese, avocado, etc. What I and my husband appreciated about this dish was that while it was bountiful, the beans weren't swimming into every other component. Also, it was beautifully plated. Our other friend had the burrito; he had it here before--so, a repeat is always a good sign. We shared the corn pancakes--they were the perfect treat "for the table." Lastly sometimes it is the simple things-- the conchas, a Mexican sweet bread topped with a thin layer of sweetish cocoa was delightful with our coffees--and a couple to take home were such a nice thing to take home for the next morning's breakfast. The staff was was warm and attentive; one could tell they were proud of their dishes and they enjoyed working there. read more

Gorgeous ambiance! I would highly recommend trying Duo's which is the restaurant attached to Duo Lingo. I wasn't sure what to expect but was blown away. The tacos were exploding with flavor. Very high quality ingredients. Our waitress was attentive and even offered us a free hot chocolate for Day of the Dead. read more
10/10 service, my group shared a large order of tacos and I asked for mine without cheese but they put cheese on it so they comped them and brought me new ones! We were also celebrating a bday so they brought out a flan with a candle out! Food-wise, the guacamole and chicharrones (10/10) were really good and I'd definitely order the brisket with cheese (9/10) again! I'm a lover of Al pastor, but these didn't hit the mark as much. It may have to do with the giant chunks of pineapple but i would try it again (7/10). What I didn't enjoy were the tortilla chips with the guacamole, and the messiness of the tacos. Things I didn't prefer but other people might are that the taco tortillas are on the thicker side and the flan wasn't my favorite but I'm not a huge fan of flan from the start! There were no deals for speaking in another language and I did wish that this restaurant had a little more duo decoration/marketing in it. The pineapple margarita was pretty standard. A fun place to check out! The tuna tostadas another table ordered looked really good too! read more
Cool Mexican restaurant with a nice vibe inside. We had reservations so were seated right away. Menu is a bit limited with tacos being the main dishes. We started with the Tacos Dorados, which is basically like taquito's. We really enjoyed this dish! For our entree, we went with the Suadero and Al Pastor tacos. You get 2 tacos with each order. My son and I split so we got one of each. Because the tacos are so stuffed, they are a bit hard and messy to eat and the homemade corn tortillas tended to fall apart a bit. Between the two, I preferred the Al Pastor while my son preferred the Suadero. I felt the Al Pastor was a bit more flavorful. For dessert, we went with the warm churro. Dessert was good but note the chocolate sauce is rather bitter. The Mexican coffee however was very delightful with hints of orange and cinnamon. read more
Duo's was above my expectation. I was expecting it to be like an educational restaurant/cafeteria because of it's proximity to Duolingo (was imagining their employees eat there for work lunch kinda vibes) but it was more of a fine dining experience. I've been a few times and there was always something new and interesting on the menu. Many times I came back wanting to try a dish, only to find it already replaced. I am pleased by this, however, because this reflects the great work on behalf of their team. They are quite literally always cooking something new up in their restaurant! Service is always phenomenal. Their team knows the menu well and make lovely recommendations. One of my favorites is their chicken. Juicy, well seasoned, with a sweet and crispy skin. It comes with tortillas which I am not a big fan of (too floury) but I can tell they make it fresh. The beef tongue tacos were also delicious but I believe it was a seasonal item that has now retired. One feedback I did have is for their fish. I felt the flavoring was great but the fish itself was very over cooked, making the meat a bit tough to eat. Drinks are also great, offering a wide variety of classic and original creations. read more
Duo's is so cute! I went on a Monday and it was pretty empty, but still enjoyable. There is little to no relation to Duolingo besides the name and logo. We ordered queso, tacos, drinks, and a free birthday flan. The queso was delicious, although I was not a fan of the grilled cactus on top. I ordered the al pastor tacos which were delicious. I did not like my drink (Attic Queen, I think?), but I think that might have been order error. Our waiter was awesome and made great recommendations and explained things. All in all, a good experience and I would like to go back! read more
Came here for a birthday and sat at the bar. Had the best time. Cocktails were inspired and refreshing. Everything we ordered came out hot and it was great that the staff explained to us a bit about what we were eating. My favorite appetizer was the tacos dorados because they were exquisitely crispy and hot in the center while covered in cold salsa. Also highly recommend the pork tongue/cheek tacos. read more
Best Mexican food in Pittsburgh! I had heard good things about the new version of Duo's and stopped by for the Day of the Dead -- I was in Mexico for the holiday last year. This was by far the most authentic Mexican food I have had in Pittsburgh and most of the US! Everything was so fresh and delicious. The spicy margarita was top notch, homemade salsas and guacamole were great (don't miss the chicharrones!), but my favorite was the beef tongue taco with cheese added. This was one of my favorite tacos EVER. Finally, the chocolate tamale was unlike anything I have had before and worth a trip on its own. Our server Meagan (not sure the spelling) was incredibly attentive and pleasant and the manager stopped by to make sure everything was great. 10/10 I will absolutely be recommending Duo's and returning. read more

I have to say that the food is actually very good but unfortunately it is quite pricey. 2 tacos are like $14. I'm not saying they're not good but wow. But otherwise, the drinks are delicious and good price. So drinks are very worth it! There's also happy hour that if I remember correctly it's 5-6:30 with drinks being even cheaper. Try the Paloma! Our waitress was amazing and so friendly! The restaurant is also pretty inside! So in short, good food but dang pricey. Drinks great and cheap!! read more
My roommate and I have been dying to come to Duos and we finally got to go! The food was absolutely incredible and so fresh. Some of the best tacos ever! The aqua fresca was delicious and so refreshing. The service was incredible! Our server, Phoebe, was so attentive and helpful. Everything about this was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to go back! read more
Delicious, authentic Mexican food and a helluva bar program with one of the best selections of Mezcals and tequilas in Pittsburgh. Reasonable pricing too! Great ambiance in bar and dining areas and can vouch for great service at the bar. If you're not afraid of experiencing true Mexican cuisine representing different states in the large country, you'll have to try it. Nice hora feliz too, 5:00-6:30 on all days they're open. read more

Really great food. I've been searching for good Mexican food like what we have back in LA and SF and Duo's definitely satisfied that craving. The chicken Flautas were the highlight with really crispy tortilla shells and a really great salsa Verde. The steak tartare were really great bites as well with the soft steak and crispy tostada textures complimenting each other very well. Those two really blew my socks off. The tacos were really great and a 10/10 but they're just as good as the tacos from decent taquerias out west, so only get them if you're really craving tacos. In my opinion it's more worth it to get the other items you might not typically find in a taqueria. The drinks were also really great with the paloma tasting dangerously good. The agua fresca was super refreshing as well and the mango was definitely the right choice. The one note is that I might skip out on the churro next time it was good but not at the same caliber as the rest of the food which was truly amazing. read more
I personally think Duo's Taqueria is a hidden gem and closest thing you will get to authentic Mexican food in Pittsburgh. If you are looking for Mexican food that is not super Americanized, this is the place to go. The guacamole was fantastic, with the perfect consistency, and the barbacoa was amazing and great for sharing. We also tried the suadero tacos, but they were devoured so quickly that we didn't even get a chance to take a picture. I was half-expecting more owl-themed decor given Duolingo's meme status on TikTok, but the references are very subtle and tasteful. The ambiance is more of a classy establishment, with soft and flattering lighting that adds to the overall experience. The waiters are attentive. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend Duo's Taqueria for anyone looking for top-notch Mexican cuisine in Pittsburgh! read more
This place is my new favorite taco spot in town. I'm so excited this place serves lengua taco (beef tongue) It is cooked to perfection. I also love their interior design and staff. They're so friendly and helpful. Food was also served very quickly. read more
Dúo taqueria is an excellent, up scale, Mexican restaurant in Pittsburgh owned by Duo Lingo. We've been here a couple of times. Tonight we had a couple of appetizers, drinks and mains. The Guacamole was delicious! We also got a very interesting broccolini dish with mole and pistachios. The shrimp ceviche was a bit sweet for me. The lamb barbacoa was very tasty with pickled veggies, fresh corn tortillas and a couple of nice salsas. read more
The most authentic Mexican food that I have tried in town! My friend and I visited on a Saturday evening, and we were seated right away. We just came from rock climbing but definitely wished that we had changed into something nicer to wear given the ambiance. The suadero and al pastor tacos were delicious, and the guava pear fresca was cool and refreshing. Subtracted one star because the serving sizes were small for the amount of money that you pay. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for ages (big Duolingo user over here). I have had a few friends recommend it to me so we finally went tonight and it didn't disappoint! In particular the tuna and guacamole tostada was one of the best things I've had in a long long time. If you like raw fish and go you must try this. I was surprised at how small the interior of the restaurant was and how empty it was even though we had an early dinner. It filled up by the time we left though, and I can definitely see why! read more
Duo's was a pleasant surprise! It's a super cute space with some quality food and drinks. We sat at the bar, after being told that they were booked, when by the time we got there and left the place was not even close to being full? Nonetheless, the bar service worked, and we ended up sharing a few different plates which I thought is the thing to ultimately do here based on the options and the prices. Overall, the food was tasty and if you want a drink and a bite to eat this is a pretty good option! read more

Service was amazing, food and drinks came out in a blink of an eye, and the food was delicious, however, the portions are definitely too small for the price. read more
Duo's Taqueria stands out as one of the best Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh. The food is incredibly authentic and delicious, truly a treat for the taste buds. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality justifies the premium. A tip for your visit: bring a sweater if you plan to sit near the wall mounted AC, as it can get quite cold. I wasn't a fan of the Paloma, but that's a minor hiccup in an otherwise great experience. Conveniently, they accept Apple Pay at the front for payment. read more

We ordered 3 plates of tacos to share and it was just right. We had the lengua (beef tongue), Al pastor, and the fried mushroom one, and I was just amazed at how different each one was. I was expecting it to all taste similar/ have a similar base, but the flavor profile and texture of each one was so incredibly different it was such a delightful experience. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and classy as well, definitely a good date night spot! read more

I came here with my partner to celebrate his graduation and we had a great experience. The service was incredible - our server was attentive, provided great recommendations, and gave us dessert on the house. The tacos were some of the best we have had in Pittsburgh. I especially enjoyed the churro with chocolate! read more
What a cool concept - an immersive language experience with amazing eats and drinks! Very flavorful and refined tastes, the chicharrones were such a surprise! The inside seating and bar areas have a nice light ambiance paired with lively mambo music. The window counters were closed but as someone else mentioned, it would be very nice to maximize the outdoor seating area if possible. read more

I was entirely unaware when I made a dinner reservation at Duo's, it was a restaurant that's owned by Duolingo. Even when I saw the neon owl by the entrance, it didn't connect in my head until I was shown an article about their opening 3 years ago. 100% going back to Duo's. As many times as I can. They boast of street food from Mexico City. And if any joint wanted to charge me $15 for chips and guac, I would lose my mind. But these thick handmade chips about the thickness of a poker chip) were the perfect vehicle of the ginormous serving of guac with a generous helping of sliced up jalapeños in it. That chicken -- pollo rostizado -- was a half chicken of pure joy, I needed something to mop up all that sauce. The birria was made with actual goat -- no beefy shortcuts here! The octopus was perfectly tender and smoky. I mean, come on! Fantastic cocktails and terrific staff. Definitely going back. read more
We went here for dinner and the place was pretty quiet. I can imagine during the school year it could be a quite a popular place. I LOVED the tostada with tuna! What an interesting way to use tuna. Tuna was very tender and the sauces on this dish- SPEECHLESS! And ofc- five start restaurants usually have a great services as well from the staff. read more

I might be a little biased since I work at Duolingo, but I think the food here is awesome. Definitely the best and most flavorful tacos I've had so far in Pittsburgh. I particularly love the suadero tacos, guacamole, ceviches, and all the agua fresca flavors. I think the guac should come with more chips though, and the tacos seem to be getting a little smaller. But I still think it's worth it, especially when family or friends are visiting. It's also a really cool space! Nice design with cool lighting, vibe-y bar, and outdoor seating in the summer. Folks who work there are SO nice! read more

Are there benefits if you have a high Duolingo streak? Just curious 😅
When it opened in 2022, there was an "Español Challenge" in order to earn a 10 to 20 percent discount. I don't see that discount mentioned anymore on their website.
