Went at lunch during the work week. There was no wait. Service was good and inside waa surprisingly large. Got 2 tacos and neither were good. Got the shredded beef and the carne asada. Both had no flavor whatsoever but was filled with s good amount of meat, but was dry. Chips seemed stale and salsa had no flavor either. Tacos should be seasoned better and/or include some kind of sauce. read more

It's not often a restaurant misses the mark in every aspect, but this place pulls off a clean sweep. Service was extremely slow. The menus were weird and even deceptive like we were supposed to pull off tape to see prices because they'd been too lazy to just print updated menus, We might have forgiven all this had the food been a delicious bargain. Nope. It cost nearly twice it should. They truly should be ashamed to serve dishes that are $12 blobs of cheese suspended in a pool of oil, served by a waitress who clearly wants nothing to do with you. If you still want to go, make sure you ask about the current prices. read more

The food was terrible. The queso was like gas station nacho cheese, the black beans were a paste, the chili relleno was just terrible in a watery sauce of some kind. I will not be back. read more

Tried the craziest burrito in my life- the NEW "Super Steelers" burrito Absolutely wild. This thing will put you into a food coma and give you meat sweats. I wasn't even able to finish half because I saved room for Tres Leches cake. Great combination of flavors. The fries and shrimp threw me off a little but everything else worked together in harmony. The sauce on top was pretty good but was even better with tapatio hot sauce! the guys both got the shredded chicken burritos which they said were awesome as well. Really large portions and a huge menu. Lots of Pittsburgh type of burritos with crazy fillings that almost always include fries! Liked this place a lot and would definitely eat here again! Check them out and try the Steelers Burrito ‍ I dare ya!! read more

This small restaurant seems sort of sketchy from outside but is pretty cozy inside! I don't think they are very busy for indoor dining so I went without issues with a reservation at 7pm on Saturday. I ordered the chicken burrito and I think as a large guy it could fill me for a FEW meals! The portions are larger than anticipated. LIFE HACK: after 7pm Friday, after 7pm sat, and all day Sunday you get up to 3 FREE MARGS!! They claim to be 16oz but they are more like 8-10, but you will actually enjoy them and they are pretty strong. Worth going at any point, staff are super friendly and accommodative as well, Dont take a 4 star as bad - the only downside is number of tables available if it gets busy and it kinda looks like a pizzaria read more

Don't be tricked by the simple appearance of this place or the salsa which what's lighter than I'm used to. This restaurant is now one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. My chimichanga was one of the most creative and tasty takes on the dish that I have ever had. Also very affordable read more

Cheap and filling food at very reasonable prices! The quality isn't as high as some other local Mexican restaurants, but it's a great deal. I ordered the teas leches, churros, bean with cheese burrito, and shredded beef burrito. The portions are excellent for the burritos! They are much heavier than they look and they are filled to the brim. The meat in the shredded beef burrito was pretty flavorful and didn't have too much fat. It came with a good amount of different vegetables inside as well. There were onions, tomatoes, peppers, and more for no extra charge. There is also a lot rice in the burrito. It was creamy and delicious! The tortilla is on the thicker side, though. The bean and cheese burrito was pretty good, too. The beans tasted earthy, but creamy as well. Plenty of cheese inside. My order came with a feta-like white cheese called cojita in a small container (it was for the meat burrito, but I used it for both). Large portion of spicy tomatoey sauce. Both desserts were fine. I wasn't blown away, but they were both cheap and tasty. Tres leches came with a strawberry and it was cream. There was also whipped cream on top. Churros are large. There's not a lot of sauce on them, though, but the texture is on point. Overall, I was more than satisfied with this visit. Awesome portions and prices! Flavor is there, too. I'd recommend if you want a cheap and filling Tex-Mex dinner. read more

I am a huge fan of authentic Mexican food, and Los Cabos did not disappoint!! The service was fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous. I felt like I was in my grandmothers kitchen, but a different cuisine! If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I absolutely would. read more

You know me, I love some good Mexican food. Add to that a Pittsburgh twist and you have definitely reeled me in. A coworker of mine recently was raving about this place and convinced us all to join her in ordering lunch one day. Of course everyone was happy to agree on a place as that is half the battle. The other half of course is finding the perfect item on the menu to tickle your fancy. The menu is heavy on items to choose from. You have your traditional Mexican fare and few more things added to round out the menu. What I find inviting about this place is they have a breakfast menu which is a nice draw. They have your usual burritos, tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, combo plates, and tortas. As well as salads, soups, sides and desserts. They also have a section of the menu that they set aside for new additions to the menu. And one last part to the menu is the rotisserie chicken section. Burritos are amazing. No matter how you get yours you always end up satisfied when you take that last bite. You feel fulfilled and probably ready for a nap. I looked over the burrito section of the menu intently. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I will devour a ground beef, steak, or chicken burrito happily. Looking over this menu I saw the Pittsburgh Burrito. The Pittsburgh Burrito brings two items together and creates a happy medium for those that can't make up their mind. See this burrito contains both carne asada and pollo asado. Two meats. Flavored with all the right Mexican spices. Melded together inside. But wait, there's more. You get fries in there, and cabbage. See, the Pittsburgh theme coming through. Can't forget the cheese. And, follow me here, tartar sauce. I know what you are thinking, but I'll explain. When the burrito showed up I was a little bit dismayed. The looks of it felt small. Looks can be deceiving, I picked this thing up and, although it looked small, it was heavy. That heaviness came from the amount of food stuffed inside. There is no wrong way to eat a burrito, so do not fret if you look like you dived face first into this thing. It is expected. You kind of have to unhinge your mouth to take a bite at time. You will also get a small container of salsa with this. Add it to each bite, you will thank me for that. I know, you are still thinking about that tartar sauce, aren't you? It works! It honestly does. The cabbage is nothing more than shredded cabbage so the tartar sauce kind of acts as the sauce for the cabbage to trick you into thinking it is Cole slaw. But when you are eating and all the textures and flavors start to mesh together, you do not notice the tartar sauce flavor. Even though this looked small, it sat heavy in my stomach. So much so that I did not need to think or look at food for the rest of the night. I still felt the effects of that when I woke up in the morning. read more

Los Cabos Mexican Restaurant - 27. Enchiladas Verdes - Mexican Near Me - Avenue, Pennsylvania

We came in because the menu confused me online. The Pittsburgh meets Mexican was very strange to me so I needed to see for myself. For example, fries in certain burritos?! The spot is BYOB and there are a few tables outside if you want to people watch on Penn Ave. It was hot so we opted for an indoor seat. You order at the counter and take your seat. I got the shrimp burrito (no special sauce as it's sour cream based) and Hubs got the chicken enchilada. We sat down and noticed each table had Heniz ketchup, but not all tables had hot sauce. Yes, Pittsburgh meets Mexican. We are given chips and salsa and warned the chips were hot. Definitely made fresh, so nice touch. I enjoyed the salsa as it had a good hint of spice. Our food arrives within a reasonable timeframe. The burrito was very much there, no tin foil, making me wonder how to eat it. Bite in and find good garlic flavor with the shrimp. There's nothing more than shrimp and rice. No lettuce or tomato dices. I should have read the menu more clearly as all is as described. Don't assume. There was a lot of shrimp and each bite included a taste of shrimp, so positive. On the chicken enchilada, Hubs thought it was average. The flavors were good, but a generic sense overall. It's a good neighborhood spot and the service is great. Definitely not an authentic place and the blend with the city's food culture isn't for me. I'll probably be back as the occasion warrants as the service is friendly and food is average. read more

Probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the burgh. It is unassuming from the outside but trust me when I say that the food will not disappoint! When I first came it was late lunch time and the restaurant was empty. I ordered the CHIMICHANGA BURRITO and it was my first time having that, it was good! It was very filling but pretty heavy since it's a deep fried burrito. The next couple times I came it was Sunday lunch and the restaurant had a couple of patrons. I ordered the FISH TACO, SURF & TURF TACO, and AL PASTOR TACO. My absolute favorites are the fish and surf & turf ones--they just hit the spot every single time. I'm always craving their tacos and looking for the next time to go back for more! Also, they have FREE UNLIMITED CHIPS & SALSA as you wait for your meal. But beware because you want to save your stomach for your meal! They also have many flavors of Mexican sodas and margaritas! Their service is very friendly and helpful. The service can be a bit slow, but it's understandable since it's a smaller business. tldr; Food 5/5 Service 4.5/5 Interior 4.5/5 read more

Extremely disappointing. 1.5 hours to deliver less than a mile - but ok that happens, no stress. 2 bags of chips for order of guac and chips. But the guac is really only enough for about a third of a bag of chips - why even bother with the second bag? The guac even tasted spoiled. I threw it away. The seafood cocktail soup thing was just shrimp and octopus in some bloody Mary type liquid - seems very cheap and was not tasty. It's a travesty to charge $12 for that. The chicken and guac taco tasted mostly of the tortilla that the taco was in - tasteless. The only saving grace was the shrimp taco, which was actually pretty good. Won't order from here again read more

This is a taco, supposedly. Beware, their menu on UberEats says tacos are beef or chicken but they leave out that it comes with toppings that include peppers. I don't like peppers and wasn't expecting it in my tacos, so that was a bummer. All the tacos came torn in half like the photo shows. They also forgot my tres leches read more

Best authentic Mexican in Pittsburgh. I've never ordered from here, I'be been going there since they first opened and never had a bad experience. I've had a lot of crappy Mexican food in Pgh. I lived in LA and NYC so I know what the good stuff is. And this is it. Just went yesterday and they now have booze. Their margaritas are tiny but STRONG. Two lil glasses had me lit. read more

You blink, and you'll miss it. Tiny place in the middle of a block of different stores. Don't let that deter you from trying it out! Enchilada - fairly plain but I thought the sauce was mixed well with the spices; nice mini kick. California burrito - humongous and full of flavor! Definitely a stuffed burrito. Surf n Turf taco - YUMMY!! Balanced perfectly with toppings to meat. Fish taco - I wasn't 100% sure about the hype surrounding this taco; while good, it didn't "wow" me enough to talk about it. I think the Surf n Turf blew the fish out of the water! (ha) Carne Asade fries - dang good! I have never had anything of the sort (usually it'd be chips, not fries underneath all the goodies). Definitely recommend. You do get a basket of chips and a small thing of salsa while you wait for your food. (Surprisingly good salsa). read more

Ordered a chimichanga, shrimp burrito, and queso. Not the best, not the worst. Definitely not worth a trip out of the way (at least not for those particular items.) Side dishes like guacamole are clearly from some sort of pre-made/off the shelf product, and not made in house, so if you're looking for fresh- this isn't your spot. read more

As a person who loves Mexican food, I didn't expect to find anything in Pittsburgh comparable to what I'm accustomed to. I hate to say this, but Pittsburgh's Vietnamese: almost non-existent but, where it exists, bad. Pizza: not great, not at all. Sub sandwiches: horribly over-priced and not that great. Asian food in general: meh. Indian food: pretty good, actually, which was somewhat surprising. But I thought Mexican would be horrible. And was very surprised by what I got here. Truly excellent. Pittsburgh's got some great Mexican food. At least at this location. read more

Was sadly surprised. Food looked good from photos. The place was empty save for us, and the lighting was dark. No one else in, but our food still took nearly 25 minutes. My husband's fish tacos were 9/10 but the fajita meat was chewy and barely had flavor, beans, rice, chips, everything was rough. The only redeemable thing was the the happy hour, $5 strawberry Marg which was actually fantastic. 10/10 read more

3.5 stars The menu is pretty close to one you'd find in a Southern California Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa and tacos were good, but overall the food was a bit bland. I wouldn't mind eating here again, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's really cool that they're BYOB! Paid and non-paid street parking available. read more

Really disappointed! Everything was watery! The beans were like soup, no thickness at all. Salsa was watery. Guac was soupy and the proteins had no flavor! I was expecting big bold mexican flavors and everything was watery, tasteless and bland,poorly assembled ( i should have taken a picture) . My steak and pineapple meal looked like dog food. I will not be returning, taco bell has more flavor! read more

One night last week, Kay napped too late and forgot to make dinner. When she picked me up from work, she impatiently said, "We need to eat out! Pick a place! Hurry! I have a starvation migraine!" I had suddenly been put on the spot! I did remember that a Mexican restaurant had recently opened across from where St. Francis Hospital (my former employer) used to be, and I hadn't been there yet (blame Yelp!), so to Penn Avenue we drove. After finding a safe spot on the street, we walked over to find something that came off as a Taco Bell given a massive, upmarket upgrade. They've also crafted the zenith of taco salads in what they call the Los Cabos Supreme Tostada. It is everything SoCal Mexican inside a flaxen and flaky tostada basket, just like many a chain makes, and not a single component, from the guacamole, crema, and shrimp to the ground beef skipped a beat or was wasted. If you are short on dough, split this with someone, and you'll both come away from it stuffed as well as gratified. I needed nothing else to go with it. With such south-of-the-border fare in Pittsburgh, I must say to Taco Bell...well, I'll just let James and his pals push the clapper at the top of the cathedral for me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPT88R0mjwU read more

Craving Mexican? Check out this tasty spot in Lawrenceville for reasonably-priced, quick, high-quality grub. You order at the counter and then sit down at any table and they'll bring your food when it's ready. They'll also bring you complimentary chips and salsa....and their salsa is awesome! It actually has flavor and spiciness (imagine that!), unlike a lot of other Mexican restaurants that serve watery tomato chunks and call it salsa. For my meal on a recent visit, I got a combo plate with two enchiladas (one chicken and one cheese), rice, and beans. My husband opted for a California burrito, which has fries in the middle (apparently this is a style of burrito popular in San Diego...who knew that putting fries in random foodstuffs was NOT just a Pittsburgh thing?!) Anyway, the food came out quickly and was stellar. No complaints from either of us. Everything was fresh, had a lot of flavor, and the portions were generous. I think I've found my new go-to when I'm looking for quick Mexican food! read more

I'm a Mexican food lover. My boyfriend is not. It's quite upsetting to me because it limits the restaurants we go to. With that being said, I have found a place that he is willing to visit! We've been to Los Cabos about two or three times now and were left impressed after each visit. It's not a traditional sit down restaurant. You order at the front counter and they will bring you the food. The dining room is decent size, but nothing special. Their is Spanish/Mexican decor and they have Univision playing on the TV. There was only one of other table dining during our last visit. I have a feeling more people get their orders to go. However, if you eat-in, you get chips and salsa for free! Yippie! The food and value here is unbeatable! I always get the combo meal. For around $10 you get your choice of two items (like a tamale and enchilada), beans and rice. It is a huge dish for a great price! Everything tastes authentic and delicious! I think my favorite dish is their cheese enchilada. My boyfriend likes their chimichangas. We usually end each meal with fried ice cream (because why wouldn't we?). Yummy! I'm getting hungry just typing this. Once again, the portion is huge and well worth the $5. Service is always very friendly and you can tell they truly appreciate the business. During our last visit, the cook accidentally made me a cheese enchilada instead of the beef one I asked for. Rather than throwing the cheese one out, they let me keep both! It's things like that, that patrons remember and keep us coming back for more. Only reason I'm not giving them the full five stars, is because their hours are sort of weird. On Yelp, they are listed as staying open till 10PM on weekdays. However, we've tried to go between 9PM-10AM only to find that the doors are locked and lights were off. I don't know if Yelp has incorrect information or they're one of those businesses that shuts down at a different time every night depending on business. read more

I've been coming to this business picking up food and As a patron since the beginning of the pandemic all the way through June 2020. As of last week the last two times I've come there not that busy and they used to be very fast and it was OK food but they were quick and that's why I went there now they have more people and it takes 20 minutes to get crap enchiladas. Again I used to come here cause it was quick and it was somebody I could do on the run and then I see them put delivery people on the back burner and just not care like they used to . I'd spend your money just some people that want it and it'll be gracious for earning it read more

As a big fan of authentic Mexican food, I was surprised that I haven't been to any in the 'Burgh. Yelp recommended Los Cabos and we set out on a Friday evening to get dinner before drinks. You have to order at the counter and they will come serve you where you are seated. The staff were very warm and extremely polite. I was very happy to see they have tamales as an option. We ordered the guacamole and chips. The guacamole was fresh, with a fine blend of tomatoes and shredded cheese on it. It was a big portion and tasted reasonable, but definitely not one of those -will die for it- guac. We ordered the combination meals and I got the enchilada and chille releno. The enchilada was perfect, and the sauce was fresh and flavorful. The chille releno was good too! We also got the tamale and oh man, it was great! Having become a recent fan of tamales, I was so happy to find good tamales in Pittsburgh. Will definitely come back here to get dinner/take out again. read more

Not a fan. I had pretty high expectations based on reviews and was sadly let down. I really don't understand the hype of the older reviews. Something must have changed. For what it's worth, Taco Bell has better food and this place makes chipotle look like fine dining. There is a major lack of flavor. Everything was dry and bland. I asked for a side of rice and beans and they put it inside the burrito. The $12 overpriced overfilled burrito looked so sad all alone on the plate. Seriously who charges $12 for a burrito with no sides? It's also worth noting they don't serve alcohol, and Mexican without beer should be a crime. My co worker ordered a combo platter and although it looked good he also complained of a lack of taste. I know I'll never return here and I'd suggest you pass as well. read more

The fish tacos are really good! Their other stuff is pretty good, too. Kind of a no-frills Mexican place that serves good food without charging too much. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because we once found a hair in our food, which made us a bit apprehensive about ordering here. read more

Wanted to go somewhere for some authentic Mexican cuisine. I love BYOB places so when I discovered this spot in Lawrenceville, I just knew that eating here was meant to be. My friends and I grab a table--the place is pretty small, which I like. Very cozy. You have to go up to the counter and order and the cooks bring your food out. Be prepared to wait. People were coming in picking up takeout and there were only 2 people working that night, the cook and the guy at the register. I waited about 10 minutes in line to order my food. I chose to get the enchiladas, 1 chicken and one cheese, combo plate. It took about 20 minutes for the food to come after all of my friends ordered there's. I give the food three stars. The enchiladas were ok. I also had rice on my plate but it wasn't cooked thoroughly. The chips and salsa that they gave us was extremely cold. I never realized how much I liked room temperature salsa before now. If you are looking for an inexpensive outing, where you can bring friends and get some tacos, be sure to check it out. I just wouldn't recommend my dish. read more

Los Cabos Mexican Restaurant - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Avenue, Pennsylvania

Disclaimer: This is only a review for takeout, however if your food tastes amazing after being wrapped up and transported for nearly half an hour, I'd say that speaks volumes about its quality. I get burritos delivered to my office from Los Cabos via UberEats. They're large (Chipotle sized but not like this has anything else in common with Chipotle!) so one typically feeds me lunch for two days. There's always a side of salsa included, which is a nice touch coming from this Californian. The bottom half is wrapped in foil for a contained eating experience, and the tortilla is large enough to amply hold all the filling without coming unfolded on either end. The tortilla is also thick and stretchy enough to not break when filled. Standard burritos come with guacamole, pico, and your choice of meat. You can add on a wide variety of toppings, however I usually keep it simple and only add beans or hot sauce. There's also a California style burrito stuffed with fries, sour cream, and cheese in addition to meat. Few places around here serve this San Diego staple, so I appreciate seeing it here. I wish there were a few more shredded meat or spicy options, but for the price and overall quality I'm a fan. I'll definitely stop in and try their other menu items if I'm ever in the area. read more

Free chips, pretty cheap, right next to Brillobox, and open until 3am friday and saturday(Tacos and burritos only)? How could you not love this place? The food is decent, my friend raved about his pork, but my Pittsburgh burrito with veggies instead of meat was a bit dry - but with the combination of food how could it not be. Some Tapatio fixed the problem. Also, fries and tartar sauce, a "pittsburgh" burrito does not make. The place claims to be so-cal mexican food, and indeed the waitress's truck had a california plate on it - so they seem to be doing alright. They also have Carne Asada fries, which was something I thought was cool on the west coast that I hadn't seen here. My girlfriend coerced a meatless version off of the late-night menu which was really delicious - if they fix the sacrilegious pittsburgh burrito and the yinzers ever find out about nacho fries then Los Cabos will be the mexican Primanti's in no time... In the best way possible read more
