Edgar's Best Tacos - 2 Pocadillo (beef) Tacos, 1 Pollo (chicken) Taco - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Very good tacos and reasonably priced. My son believes it is the best taco ever. If you are in the strip, definitely check it out.

Stopped here while shopping in the strip. Beef and chicken tacos both amazing. Fresh ingredients and a delicious salsa verde.

Great place, great food, super nice people. Just to reiterate: the Yelp listing and photos are a bit confusing since the location is now a trailer next to Primanti's and across from Shake Shack--not inside PA Market. read more

Edgar's Best Tacos - Trailer, around the corner from Primanti's. Great food inside. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Not a real Mexican tacos! Dude is from Puerto Rico or somewhere, the salsa was not good either.

Tucked inside PA Market within the Strip District. The man who served us, I assume Edgar?, was very friendly. We got 3 tacos - chicken, beef, and shrimp. There was quite a wait until they were ready. I appreciated how much meat was in each of them, but unfortunately I found the flavor to be a little underwhelming... beef was probably best out of all. read more

Ordered 2 of the pollo tacos they were phenomenal. salsa verde and fresh lime wedge to top the tacos provide the perfect blend of flavors.

Really some of the best tacos in city. Arrived at 1050 in the seated square outside and they told me to come on up to order early. Got the beef tongue and chorizo tacos with a shrimp tostada. The self pour salsas were delicious with a great range of spice. I will definitely be back read more

Pictures are the chicken, steak and lamb barbacoa. The steak and chicken tacos were good but the lamb Barbacoa was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and service was super. The pricing was pretty standard at $3.00 - $3.75 a taco. Great street tacos. I would eat them again when I need a taco fix. read more

Cute little taco stand in an interesting courtyard setup. This place makes you feel like you're in the Wild Wild West. Horse and carriage mural included on the wall along with a Skelton having a drink at the bar. Edgar greeted us with a smile on his face and was very friendly during our visit. He cooks the food himself and has a pretty big selection on his menu including drinks. I ordered the chicken enchiladas without lettuce. They came topped with a mole sauce. They were delicious! The beans were out of this world. By far my favorite part of the meal. They were cooked just right and topped with cheese. The rice was also very good. Flavorful and not dry at all. The street corn was okay, although it didn't seem to fresh. I was surprised that it didn't have cilantro or lime. It had a sweet tangy taste to it which was unique. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and chorizo tacos and said that they were really good. I could tell that he really enjoyed them as his eyes were rolling in the back of his head as he was eating them! He was all into the different sauces that were offered to top his tacos. We plan to come back when the weather is warmer so that we can enjoy the outdoor seating. read more

Great taco located right on the Strip. The kitchen was in a outdoor courtyard with some covered high tables and chairs. $3 authentic tacos--fast and fresh service. read more

The beef tacos are amazing. You HAVE to get the jalapeños queso - it's amazing! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are perfect. I typically order 3 tacos and 1 queso. The one thing to be mindful of is the wait on the weekends as it can be upwards of an hour, while weeks days it can be ready within about 10 minutes. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Have not been to this location since they moved here from about a block away. The menu has a few tacos that are 2 for $5.00 but most of the selections are $3.50. My barbacoa and chorizo tacos were good but not anything special. The sauce bar is nice but it was a little messy when I was getting my sauces; thought it probably doesn't take much for just one person to spill stuff on the bar. The place is kind of amusing with all the menus pasted on a board behind the cash register and you can see some of the kitchen staff cooking. The room is kind of dark and dingy; it has been a few different restaurants over the years and has not been updated. read more

You guys if I could have the tacos and sauces injected in me I would. Edgar's is in my top two places for tacos in Pittsburgh. Everything is fresh. Always fresh. The flavors are so aromatic. I swear I get dizzy from eating this goodness. One bite and my head spins. Have to grab a quick seat to maintain my composure so that I may continue to inhale those tacos as though I've never eaten before. read more

Stumbled upon this place while walking to go somewhere else for lunch. Decided to go here instead. WOW! What a little tucked away gem. My coworkers and I loved it so much, we came back a second day in a row. I've gotten the burrito, which was HUGE. I couldn't finish it all. It was packed with rice and beans, onion, peppers, beef and everything in between. I also tried the beef empanada which was clearly very homemade and good!! We also shared chips queso/guac. Queso is so creamy and jalapeño and guac was very flavorful! The second day I got the mole enchiladas and street corn. SO GOOD. Flavorful and satisfying. You can taste all the elements of the mole. And the street corn was sweet and creamy and a little spicy. I can't wait to literally try everything on their menu. Not only does this place have great food, it's run by Edgar (I am assuming) and two other ladies. They are always so sweet and nice! Can't wait to tell everyone about this place and to go back! read more

They are now in a trailer, tacos are great, but i personally miss the tostadas. You have to catch them when you see them by the terminal.

Saw this truck at yArt and tried a vegetarian taco that had mushrooms and potatoes with lettuce, tomato and onion. Sooo good! I've never had mushrooms that tasted like that. It had a kick and a good flavor. I wish I could figure out how to recreate it with spices! The corn shells were not overly thick, hard or rubbery. They were perfect. The people on the food truck were lovely. They had 4 types of salsa, forks and napkins readily available. I added the medium salsa to a portion of my taco, and it went very well with it. I hope I see this truck around again sometime! read more

Right in the heart of the Saturday afternoon market on the Strip, Edgar's and the competing taco stand just around the corner contribute to one of the best smelling street corners ever, with sweet and earthy tendrils of corn tortillas wafting by and hints of the various meats cooking on their griddles. With some of our brunch targets packed to the gills on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, my girlfriend and I switched to snacking at the various food stands on the Strip, with Edgar's being the main stop. I went with a chicken and lamb barbacoa tacos and their watermelon agua fresca to drink. The lamb was lightly topped while the chicken was more generously topped, while you're left ot finish it off with the salsa of your choice, and I just went with what looked like salsa verde. Sitting down at one of the handful of tables next to their stand, we dug right in. The lamb was tender and flavourful, and the sauce it was in kept it from getting too dry. There was a little bit of spice to the guac and a nice fresh pop from the pico and all of that was evened out by the queso fresco. The chicken had a mild flavour, but it was tender and moist, and topped equally as well as the lamb. The watermelon agua fresca was fantastic. It tasted simply of watermelon with very little, if any, extra sweetening, just letting the fruit stand on its own. Edgar's was an excellent spot in a equally great little area. Hit this place up if you're in the Strip. read more

Edgar's Best Tacos - Lamb barbacoa and chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This place was such a hole in the wall, but really good. It's actually a lot bigger than I was expecting. You walk-in, order from the menu on the wall, and then wait at a table with the number they give you. They shout out the # when the food is ready and with a simple wave of your number the waitress found me and brought out my food. Since the ordering is at the front and there was only 1 cashier, the line got a bit long since my group was about 20 and there were also other patrons. This occurred around 3:00 on a sunny Saturday. The food was really cheap, and it was good. I could have gone for more food since it wasn't a huge serving, but it hit the spot and accomplished what I set out for. There's also free chips with guac and queso. The inside had lots of decorations drafting down from the ceiling, as well as stuff on the walls. It made it feel like an authentic Mexican place. There was also futbol playing from the World Cup which added to that element. The owner said that the liquor license was delayed about a month. I wasn't able to order a Corona, but anticipate by late July or August that the drafts will be flowing. At least I hope so for their sake. Either way, it's a cool place to check out near the strip. read more

After trying most Mexican restaurants & food trucks in town, Edgar's tacos are the most amazing tacos in Pittsburgh and are very authentic. I crave them on a regular basis. I've had the chorizo tacos multiple times. What I like about his chorizo tacos are they are delicious and flavorful, but not super greasy which is the case with most chorizo tacos. The shrimp in the tacos are small and fried, but equally delicious. I like how he has multiple salsas you can put on them. Even though I'm obsessed with his tacos the hibiscus tea was to die for. I could drink that every day. Soooooo good! The other great thing about Edgar is he is extremely friendly and his staff are as well. They are also very efficient. Like most taco stands in town, you either have to stand or take them with you. There is one small table inside, but that's it. read more

Edgar's Best Tacos - on the left is the chorizo taco, which is flavorful and not at all greasy. On the right is the shrimp taco which was also delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Authentic Mexican food from Oaxaca. By far the best street tacos in Pittsburgh. Edgar and the family are gracious and friendly

Five stars for the friendly service, properly spiced food, and nice outdoor space! Pro tip: enter on 18th Street because the entrance on 19th Street to the inside of the market is not always open, but he has a stand in their outdoor area that is accessed on the 18th Street side of the facility. read more

Affordable, authentic, and delicious food at a great price! The nachos with the queso dip and guacamole dip were the perfect appetizer. Both dips as well as the chips had a unique flavor and texture and really impressed us. The dips were very creamy and reminiscent of the flavors they were suppose to represent with the perfect level of kick to them. The chips were freshly made and had a uniquely soft crunch to them. The chicken quesadilla was HUGE and was big enough for both of us which we both felt was a great deal for the price. Succulent chicken, a toasty tortilla, melted cheesiness and some veggies to add freshness is exactly what you look for in a chicken and cheese quesadilla. We look forward to coming back here soon and trying some of the other delicious food on the menu. read more

THE BEST! Added a couple of pictures of the burrito. Man this is really it! Chipotle Grill eat your heart out. What these couple of folks do in a small stand on Penn Ave. is flat out amazing. Today is first I had the burrito, just like the best you can find in SoCal. Loaded with flavory goodness! I would go on, but about to reheat another one. Let the pictures do the talking. Oh, and when you reheat a burrito on flour tortilla, wrap in foil and either bake at low heat or wrap in foil and reheat on stovetop. read more

Truly some of the best tacos in town. For authentic lengua and chorizo come here. Also big Jarritos to wash it all down with.

Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine in the strip. Honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had. Never even wrote a yelp review but felt needed for this place because it was so good. Gracìas Edgar! read more

I used to live in Arizona and spent a great deal of time traveling to Mexico. Living back east, I can never find tacos as they were in Mexico. Taco Bell's influence is greater than many realize. While on the Strip, my wife and I never miss an opportunity to swing by for some of Edgar's tacos. Eating these tacos with a Mexican Coke takes me right back to Mexico. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. And Edgar is very friendly as well. Get you some Edgar's tacos! read more

I always hear so and so has the best tacos or you have to try their tacos... let me just say this no thanks.... EDGARS FOR THE WIN!!!!! Hands down THE BEST tacos in Pittsburgh. When you are within a 2 block radius of Edgars and you smell something drawing you in and you say to yourself "What is that amazing smell?!?" It's Edgars, I can assure you! Edgar has a little stand next to Pamelas diner in the strip. The taco selection here is amazing. He always has specials which are highly recommended. I always get tacos, it doesn't matter what type, but make sure you get tacos! Once they grace your lips you will understand why Edgars is rated 5 stars across the board on yelp! I also recommend getting a horchada drink as well, best I've ever had. If you have ever had horchada you know how delicious it is, if you've never had horchada then Edgars is the best place for your first ever experience. I am literally licking my lips drooling and my stomach is rumbling just from writing this review thinking about Edgars tacos even though I just ate. I will be heading there first thing in the AM! PLEASE do yourself a favor and put Edgars on your list of must have tacos in Pittsburgh! read more

A gut truck no más! This hombre is living the American dream and turned this into a full fledged restaurant. It's still in the works, but has so much potential. You still have to order from the front cashier, but it looks like they'll be taking tableside orders soon. It also looks like they're about to have a bar soon! There's still a steel encased salsa bar, a schmattering of Mexican refreshments, and all the Mexican meal basics. This place is legit. Bring your hankering-for-Mexican ass down here and give them your money so they can take this restaurant to the next level! read more

Big fan of these folks from the street stand days. Great tacos and burritos. Used to be only the stand a couple of blocks away, but now they have this pretty big restaurant and bar space. I saw the street food truck parked along the side as well. It currently looks like they're shaping the the place up ... getting their alcohol license in place, giving the interior some sprucing up, etc ... so I'm rating 5 stars for the authentic Mexican street grub and friendly staff. I just added the new location to Yelp myself after seeing only the old street stand was listed and I'd like them to have a strong 5 star base to start from. Check em out for a quick bite if you're in the area. I'm hoping Edgar's will do well here. Enjoy! read more

Came here for lunch one day and really enjoyed it. I tried two of the shrimp tacos (without cheese or sour cream) on corn tortillas. The price was right and the flavors were super fresh and delicious. I will be returning! read more

Edgar's authentic Mexican food is worth trying to find parking, then find the restaurant! I'd suggest the tongue taco, but then I was disappointed he didn't have cabeza cabra on the menu (although he said he might be able to bring one on the food truck..... Be careful with the red sauce, mucho caliente. read more

Excellent service and my chicken taco was outa this world. Everythin was so fresh and prices were good. The salsa had the zing that I look for. I will no doubt be heading back. Thank you Edgar Tacos Stand! read more

Accessible, quality, and fresh are words that come to mind for Edgar tacos. I'm a fan because they meet my standards, offer vegetarian options that are substantial and delicious - i.e, they aren't just limp vegetables on a taco shell. I go for the soyrizo tacos always or refried black beans. I kept trying to show a friend who was in town how yummy these are, but we seemed to miss them every time! Ingredients are fresh and flavorful. I haven't had a bad experience yet, and it is all cheap and quick. It doesn't get better than this for "fast" food tacos, plus it comes without the gastrointestinal disruptions later on, if you follow. read more

I feel like such an ass for not giving them five stars but hear me out: The food is seriously to die for! There's no way this isnt the best Mexican food in Pittsburgh... and if it's not, PLEASE recommend a better place on this review, so I can see it. However... It's simply not enough food. I had ONE meal from here that I hated, but I dont hold that against them. Aside from that, I've never had a bad experience here. But for the price, it is not enough food! Here's a tip: Order beef lengua burrito/taco(s). It's so amazingly supple & tender, while still having that intense seasoned beef flavor! Because of these guys, I will never eat a beef taco again...unless lengua is on the menu! read more

This is a pretty typical taco stand in the strip. They make a good taco that tastes like what a taco should, and generally are pretty good (and fast) about it. My order had a few different types of tacos and they all tasted pretty good. Honestly it's a taco stand, and it's good, there's really not much else to say. read more
