    There is a lot going on with this street in Irwin, there is a distillery tasting room, a brewery, a concert venue, and this Mexican restaurant. Stopped in on a snowy Saturday before Christmas to fortify for holiday shopping. I was pleasantly surprised stopping in here, somewhat dark brick establishment. The 3 Amigos appetizer was outstanding, anchored by some really good guacamole. Followed up by shrimp tacos with a sweet chili Asian twist, and a far more traditional beef barbacoa street style tacos. Just sat at the bar to grab a quick bite and a beer, but was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely stop again when in the area, pretty decent Mexican fare, and far better than quite a few other places in this corner of Southwest PA.

    We were there for the first time last night. Very cool, trendy vibe. Ryan was our server and he was outstanding! He took time to explain the drink menu and the food menu which we appreciated. The food was delish and the choices were many! The beverage selection was outstanding especially for the tequila drinkers put there! My margarita was great! I had the mahi grilled taco and my guy had the yinzer taco steak with fries! Three to an order which was a lot! Oh also has spicy mozzarella sticks app. It was hopping pre concert and Saturday night and food came in good time which mattered on way to a concert. Price point is excellent but Ryan (with the long hair lol) made it such a fun experience. Can't wait to go back. Parking on street or nearby lot too. Thank you.

    I had an incredible experience at Gato! The tacos were phenomenal - bursting with fresh flavors and perfectly seasoned. Each bite was a delight. The service was equally impressive, with the staff being attentive, friendly, and quick. Tacos are around $15 each set, but you receive 3 decent size tacos. I think they were the best local tacos I've had ever or in a long time. They were bursting with flavor. For example it's maybe the equivalent of a Primanti bros sandwich (marinated steak topped with French fries, cabbage slaw, fancy sauce and queso fresco. My wife had the Hollywood which I thought was equally delicious with Roadted chicken topped with guacamole, pico de gallo, queso Fresno, and Conita cheese. Our waitress was a young lady with dark hair. She was very nice, attentive, also one of the better waiters we had in a while. I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

    I am a sucker for a good Mexican restaurant and Gato hit the spot. The vibes were great and the service was quick. Our waiter was very in top of it! For a drink, I got a House Lime Margarita. It was very sour which made it difficult to drink. For food, we ordered the Three Amigos appetizer, El Pollo Loco signature tacos, and a side of the Street Corn. The guacamole, salsa, and queso were absolutely fantastic. The salsa was extremely fresh and flavorful. It may have been one of my favorite salsas ever! I did add some extra lime and hot sauce to our guacamole to enhance the flavor. Our tacos were very spicy, but tasty nonetheless. The side of Street Corn had so much flavor I could eat it everyday. The whole restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. If I am ever in the area again, I will be back!

    The drink was amazing and I could have had unlimited amounts of it. The tacos were also good but I wish I had the option to get 3 different ones. Cause I wanted to try multiple tacos on the menu. And I personally don't like getting multiple of the same taco.

    This is a nice little taco joint in a place you might not expect to find one. It is surprisingly large inside, and if you like tequila,.they have a great selection of tequila as well. I tried the Ma-HEHe tacos. They were well made and had a great sauce on them. I highly recommend!

    Average food and average service combined gives this place an average-rated review from me. The presentation of the tacos is top-notch, I'll give them that, but the chips and salsa were disappointing, and the tacos, while solid, weren't something I'd be dying to come back for again. Our server was friendly, but no one checked in with us during the meal. And while I didn't order any, some of the drinks looked interesting/tasty, so that might be worth giving Gato's a try for.

    So good that Louie didn't even get one Frankly, all the patty Frenchie protesting my actions. If it means incredible tacos.

    This place, checked every box! Front to back, top to bottom. I've been in sales my entire career so naturally customer service means the world to me. They made me feel like the most important person in the restaurant. Even though I couldn't resist ordering far more than just their suggestions. I could not find a single thing that I wouldn't crawl across broken glass to eat again. The food was simply incredible! And when you're in the mood where some good ol' authentic tacos, and as you close your eyes and picture what that place might be. These folks have nailed the ambience impeccably. Seriously, every box checked. Bravo!

    I'm passing through. When I came through last week, I ate at Don Patron's a few miles away. I…read moreenjoyed that, but it didn't prompt me to write a review. Madero Cantina Norwin also had mostly decent reviews, so I gave it a try. I sat at the very nice bar. The atmosphere is modern, not trying to look like Tijuana, with clear background music that isn't so loud that I couldn't hear people across the bar talking. What I'm going to say might sound contradictory. My earlier meal was closer to the Mexican food I was used to in Southern California. But not exceptional. As a vegetarian, I usually start with cheese enchiladas as a way to judge a Mexican restaurant. The service was excellent, and they are definitely vegetarian friendly. Unlike "genuine" Mexican food, their refried beans are vegetarian, without the traditional lard. Their Spanish rice isn't vegetarian friendly (chicken stock used) but they have a vegetarian alternative rice. When they cook for a vegetarian, they use a different grill, so your food isn't cooked in meat grease. I know this because Jake, who served me, covered it all as soon as I mentioned that I was vegetarian. When the food arrived it looked great, and it tasted great as well. If you're looking for genuine Mexican with lard in the beans, this might not be the best local option. But I really enjoyed my meal here, and recommend it highly!

Our party of 5 each had drinks- cranberry margarita was super tasty as was the Mexican mule - which I tried. We started with 2 order of the El Trio with chips - guacamole, salsa & queso For dinner - 2 of our party had very large Burritos & myself & the rest of our group had various tacos, Traditional fish tacos, Mahi Mahi & chicken. (You get 3 large well stuffed tacos) Their corn tortillas are house made. I would definitely come back. Good food - good service & fair price.

I was surprised to see so many vegetarian options. I came to the restaurant to order from the vegetarian selections. I ordered a black bean burrito. It wasn't on posted menu but I saw it online and it was in their register system. I also ordered a cheesy bean and rice burrito off their $1 and substituted the refried bean for black beans. Lastly, I ordered the 2-pack of the Cinnabon treats. I was very pleased with the taste. The burritos were filling but I don't feel like I was stuffed. I used the hot sauce and it had a little kick. The Cinnabon balls had what seemed to be icing in the center and cinnamon and sugar on the outside. They were hot and really good. The cashier was patient with me because I took a while to order since I hadn't been there in so long. I was able to use Samsung Pay successfully. Overall, I was very pleased. I like to eat vegetarian when possible and it's really hard to find a lot of stuff when you have to stop for fast food. Taco Bell impressed me and I'll be back.

It seems like this is a modern Taco Bell. Not to mention that I saw cars enter the drive through, and they came out of the drive through like 2 minutes later.
