The amount of food you're given for what you pay is maybe the best in the area. Vegan? They got you. Vegetarian? You too. Meat eater? They got you too. The vibe is colorful and chill. We were waited on minutes from walking in the door. The only thing I'm disappointed in is waiting this long to try this place. Will definitely return. This place is handicap accessible. There is plenty of room to maneuver through between the tables.

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.

Service was slow, all of our dishes were served warm at best (mine was cold), only exception being the fajitas which were served steaming hot. I had enchiladas plus a taco. Not very flavorful and skimpy on the fillings. A lot of tortilla and sauce but very little meat. My wife had the chili rellenos and while deep fried on the outside the cheese inside wasn't melted. One friend had the dish that they serve flaming (can't recall its name and I didn't get a pic) and it was meh. The fish tacos also not a highlight. The steak fajitas were said to be pretty good. Also note, chips and salsa are not complimentary, they charge $3.50 for soda water and have a sign at the entrance notifying a 5% discount if paying cash (i.e. a 5% credit card fee). I'm not sure if this was just an off night for them or not but there are a few Mexican spots in the area that are consistently good (Plaza Azteca in White Oak and El Campesino in Monroeville). I likely won't try Madero again.

The chips and queso were delicious- we really enjoyed that and felt it was a good price. We then split 4 different tacos to sample many of their options. The beef shoulder and pork butt were good but could use more flavor. The chicken thigh was a bit clunky feeling and dry, in my opinion. Our favorite taco was the chorizo taco. It was very flavorful! I must say, I appreciate how full the tacos are and the corn tortillas were surprisingly tasty! I would come again but only for the chips and queso, maybe a chorizo taco, and am very curious about their burritos- specifically the brunch themed ones. The setting is very laid back which is nice and easy. You order at the counter and have a seat in their back room where they bring the food to you. The stand for getting hot sauce and free water was convenient. Everything came out very quickly which is another bonus! Overall not a bad experience, I would try again but some different menu items.

The ambiance isn't anything too crazy, but they kinda expanded the area a bit I think. I got to try their mushroom quesadilla and chicken burrito as well as horchata. The quesadilla was probably my favorite meal. Huge portion for the price, lots of tasty and seasoned mushrooms, not too oily, loads of cheese, and an awesome creamy sauce on the side. So good. The burrito was also great. And, also huge. Great deals at this place. Tons of rice and a good amount of beans and other fixings. The meat was a little chewy, but not bad. The horchata was a bit disappointing. Had a sort of strange aftertaste. They also had a hibiscus drink that my buddy let me try, and it was pretty refreshing but also has that weird aftertaste. All in all, a very good place! I'd come here for takeout again for sure. Looking forward to it!

As someone familiar with the tough competition of SoCal's food culture, I can confidently say this restaurant captures the essence of Mexican cuisine. The staff is very hospitable, full of warmth, and very welcoming. The festive atmosphere and upbeat music added to the authenticity of the setting as well. For anyone seeking a genuine taste of Mexico in Pennsylvania, Taqueria El Buen Pastor is a must-visit. It not only satisfies cravings for authentic Mexican cuisine but also rivals the best eateries found back in Southern California. From the first bite of their tacos and homemade tortilla chips, you'll understand why this restaurant is celebrated for its commitment to quality, taste, and generous food portions. Please give them a chance. I wish I had this back home. (Sorry for the address in the reviews.
