I took some family that were in from out of town. They absolutely loved it. We all shared the kitchen sink nachos! Then I got fajita dreams and young cheezy. We were able to sit right away, which we were happy about cause we were all so hungry. This hit the spot.
The food was decent. They had plenty of options. The ground beef was a bit bland and the carnitas were very dry. We got tostadas and both of us left a plate of beef strips behind, it was way too chewy and not enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is cute and decorated nicely. The staff was nice.
A large group of us chose Low Key Taco for a colleagues farewell happy hour. The weather wasn't ideal; there was a chance of rain, of course. Luckily, Low Key Taco has a covered patio and bar area outside so you can enjoy the warmth without the risk of getting rained on. The bartenders were extremely friendly and not at all overwhelmed by the quantity of people. They kept our cards for our open tabs, since we were all paying separately. The drinks came out quickly and you honestly can't beat the happy hour prices. Good location, if you're in Robinson, and they have plenty of parking.
Decent location, great service. The food was pretty good but not my favorite. I love the decor and vibe of the place.
It was okay. The food wasn't bad but wasn't knock your socks off. The drinks (margaritas) are super sweet! Coming from someone that likes sweet fruity drinks it was a lot...however they definitely had a good amount of alcohol. So if you're good with sweet it's great. It's also a great deal to do basically bottomless margs for brunch you get your money worth if you have two margs and if you can get through all 5 you'll feel amazing!! The atmosphere was great it was open and fun would love to try again for dinner. Maybe see some live music there. The service was quick and everyone was very nice. I can definitely see this place being great and will definitely give it another try.
This was our 2nd time at lowkey taco, we were seated immediately, which is nice for a weekend. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. My husband and I both got taco platters. I had the Cluck Norris and the Eric Carne Estrada. I also added fries to my platter. The tacos were okay, i definitely think the steak could of been seasoned better, usually steak tacos are my fave. But the meat was a little bland. They are over stuffed tacos, which is definitely nice! The cluck Norris was my fave, the chicken was juicy and crispy. The decor in this place is awesome as well, I love the local artwork on the wall.
Went here for date night and overall had a good time but it took a little long for our appetizer to come out so by the time it ended up getting to our table, our food was ready too. Additionally, the pitcher of strawberry margaritas we got were not very strong - honestly couldn't even taste the alcohol so im suspicious there even was any, lol. Giving it 4 stars though because all the food was really good. Really enjoyed the tacos, fries, and the dips & chips.
Super cute place! Went there during the holidays and the cocktails were SO good and fancy! The food was also super delicious.
Stopped in to check out their holiday "pop up" Tinsel & Tequila. They decorated the restaurant really nicely for the holidays and have a long holiday drink menu! I had frostys margarita which was pretty tasty!! Our server was delightful, frequently checking in but not overbearing! Super friendly service. Got some chips and guac to snack on, their guac is super smooth, no chunks if that's your jam!
The food at Lowkey is still good and they've expanded the menu to include burritos, quesadillas, etc. Tye holiday drink selection is very large, too. Service is still good and friendly and the holiday vibe is even better than their regular good atmosphere. Always enjoyable.
I love lowkey taco. The jalapeno margaritas are excellent and I think their queso is better than Condado's, especially the habanero queso. Also their happy hour is a steal!
I've come a few times Solely for the dip trio: guac of some sort, queso of some type, and a salsa. Chips til you explode and all for $15! I've had plain and spicy guac and for me the spicy was too spicy. The salsa was just poured over the already prepared guac instead of being mixed in. I love the red salad! And the queso is just the right consistency.
Let's start by saying, the traditional queso is some of the best. I am so picky about my queso dip and this one is excellent. We go the $15 choose tour (3) dips: spicy guac; traditional queso; habanero salsa were what we chose. All 3 were so good and highly recommended but you def have to like spice to get the spicy and habanero options! For our taco platter entrees, you can get 2 for $13.50 or 3 for $16.50. All tacos come with rice and refried beans! I had the Cluck Norris soft shell flour tacos - extremely filling and great flavor with fried chicken, YUM! My husband got the Frying Nemo (); Young Cheesy () and the Fajita Dreams ()! He was a big fan of the 2 but the YC was dried out in his opinion. The service was pretty good and the vibe on a warm day was great to sit outside. The area in itself needs a little TLC when it comes to cleanliness though.

Our first time here and we loved Lowkey Taco! We each had a taco platter (details in the pictures!), we shared the Mexicali fries, and we each had a margarita (Cujo and the Flying Hawaiian). Everything was really good and fresh! We came around 2 on a Friday and it wasn't busy at all. The food came out quick and was so good! The side of rice and beans, which I thought I didn't even want, were so flavorful! Thinking of some other local taco places we frequent (Condado, Tako, Mad Mex) and these may be the best we've had! read more

The decor at Lowkey is high-key fantastic. The amazing taco names, dancing lights, and music make me so happy. The service was attentive and good as well. However, the food is just lacking a bit. I ordered a Lieutenant Dan. The kimchi cucumbers and carrots were great and I enjoyed the crispy shrimp. I wish there had been just a tad more bang bang sauce maybe. It just needed... something. I think that would have maybe elevated this a bit. The Johnny Hopkins beef was just not quite tender enough and the soft corn tortilla couldn't hold up to the fillings. One bite in and I just cut it up and ate it. Despite this, i do wish this one had more sauce. Once again, it was still alright but just lacking something. I'd definitely go back, especially for the great looking margaritas! read more
Hopped in to Low Key Taco to check out this spot. We had been to previous restaurants in this location and loved the new vibes created. The walls are painted black with neon fun murals, the music was on point with some 90s and early 2000s jams. I got the 2 flour taco platter with rice. The Lieutenant Dan was my favorite with just the right level of heat to accompany the crispy shrimp. My second taco was the Young Cheezy which featured carnitas....definitely eat this one first or you taco will be soggy from the cheese sauce. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the pre-built creations. The service was quick with no wait. The cocktails were just ok. I got the margarita (og traditional to accompany Mexican night), but I wasn't overwhelmed with much flavor. read more

Low Key Taco is a great little place in the suburbs! They have a variety of tacos, appetizers and drinks to choose from. We like to start with the trinity and street corn, then share a couple tacos. You can build your own (including making it a salad) or there are several fun specialty options to choose from. Lieutenant Dan and Cluck Norris are always favorites! Happy hour is from 4:30-6:30 and it's $5 margaritas (if you like spicy try the mango habanero), $5 white claw slushees and half off appetizers. Plus you can get margaritas to go! If you are expecting Condado or Bakersfield, you will probably be slightly disappointed. But definitely give it a try! Finding a non-chain restaurant in Robinson is hard, so LowKey Taco is a much needed break from the norm, even if it does share a parking lot with target :) read more

Stopped in for a drink, this took the place of one of my favorite restaurant "stout"... Very Condado like ambiance, graffiti on walls. I do like that they have outdoor seating. Would call about pets though because I didn't see an outside entrance. read more

We wanted to do something fairly quick before we went to the movies in Robinson. We had about 6 people. We were seated right away. We all ordered different types of margaritas and they come in a decent size for 7 bucks. With an extra dollar, you can add flavor to it. The pitcher is only $24 bucks if you wanna go that route. They have a decent happy hour menu and daily specials. We were going to get one dip but the server suggested getting the trio that comes with cheese dip, guacamole, and salsa and that was a good choice but they don't bring nearly enough chips to eat all the dip. Everyone ordered different tacos from the menu. I had chicken and beef. They were decent sized tacos. With a drink, appetizer, and two tacos, I was completely stuffed. I would come back again definitely for happy hour. read more

While staying in the area I stopped in for dinner one Sunday evening and watched the Steelers game while dining at the bar. I started with their complimentary chips & salsa, which isn't any of the salsas they have on their menu, but this was really good salsa and I loved the texture and corn flavor of the chips too! So, I opted for their habanero salsa and it was very tasty, but very spicy too! Definitely had a very nice kick to it!! Next course was the try their wings, as I thought I read somewhere that they were smoked in-house... these definitely we boring, bland and scrawny wings... Nothing exciting about them at all. The taco dust seasoning was ok, but there wasn't much of it to influence the flavor of the wings much. I also tried their house margarita while there and it was just OK... it was way too sweet for me. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They made great conversation with me and all other guests, while ensuring everyone was taken care of. It was the amazing service that's prompting me to give this visit a 4 instead of a 3. Because the food and drink was more of a 3. read more

We had a great experience in Taco Tuesday! All tacos looked yummy and abundant. Cluck Norris had a nice crunch & slight kick. Lil Uzi had a large, tender portion of meat. I was definitely full after just two tacos! Paired with a jalapeño margarita. Will definitely return. read more
This place is tucked away in the Robinson area. We were looking for something a bit lighter and thought this would work. The atmosphere is interesting, with great art work on the walls. The metal chairs are not very comfortable and the music is definitely too loud for carrying on a conversation while eating. Our server was quick to arrive, but was either new or had been badly trained. They had seated us at a 4 top table and instead of her coming around to the side on which we were seated, she stood at the opposite side and with the music so loud we couldn't hear her or her us. Awkward. We had questions on some of the beer and she had no idea so we ended up with a simple beer instead. The menu is very confusing and usually when it's a place like that they ask if you have been there before and then explain how it works. Nothing like that from this server. We started with chips and guacamole which were both good. When you order you own made tacos you pick the shell type, the protein type and then the taco filling. I tried a hard corn taco with ground meat and the spicy filling. The other was a soft taco with beef brisket and a sweet filling. The tacos arrived brimming with ingredients. The spicy one, although good, was just too spicy for me. My mouth was on fire. Thankfully the sweet one took away much of the bite. The menu here is interesting and the tacos are only $3.50. The guacamole at $7 seemed a bit high, but since it was so good, it was worth it. The side of rice for $1 was laughable and also bland. read more

Friends and I got together here for dinner on a Friday night and this didn't disappoint! The mixed berry margarita was amazing, but I will say it came with a TON of ice. Everyone enjoyed their chips and dip -- the queso and guacamole I had was great. I ordered a beef taco and a carnitas taco, both with the "double stuff" shell, which is a soft and hard shell stuck together with queso. The tacos were spicy, loaded with ingredients and super yummy. My only complaint was that the music was SO loud that we found ourselves yelling at each other to have conversation. I'd definitely come back though! read more
This place immediately gives me Condado vibes and the food is just as good! I ordered a hibiscus marg as well as 3 different tacos- the cluck norris, lieutenant dan, and the street smarts with pork. The marg was actually really good and only ended up being $5. I didn't know when I ordered but apparently all low key margs are only $5 on Sunday's which was awesome. I really loved both the cluck norris and the lieutenant dan but I was not a fan of the street smarts at all. The street smarts didn't have much taste, mostly just tasted like greasy meat. They also gave me the street smarts taco with the wrong shell so that whole taco was just not for me. If you're looking for authentic tacos, this is probably not the place for you but their non-traditional tacos are delicious! I believe they also have bottomless margs on the weekends so I will definitely be back again soon! read more

Lowkey taco is exactly as it sounds - no fuss, American tacos. We enjoyed the patio on a Sunday evening and had wonderful service. The menu focuses on just a few things but there is something for everyone. You can pick from a selection of 'fancy' margaritas or go with a flavored option - I recommend sticking with a classic or flavored margarita to avoid the sweetness. The margaritas were okay for an American taco joint but this review is based on the tacos. Chips and a dipper are not free and I don't think they are worth it - chips are not fresh and the salsas and guac seem overpureed and unflavorful. For tacos, you can pick a 2 or 3 taco plate and pick different tacos (i.e. you don't have to order two of the same). You can pick your shell and upgrade to the double stuffed shell with a hard shell and soft tortilla stuck together with guac and queso for an upcharge. I think this is fun every once in awhile but you are charged by taco and it is a lot of food. The Lil Uzi Verd taco was very good with a large, moist portion of shredded pork, roasted corn, taco sauce, and queso fresco. The menu said it has chimichuri but I did not taste it. Alas, it was still a flavorful and delicious taco. My husband ordered the birria tacos and they were a hit! The corn tortillas were soft yet crisped, the cheese was melty, the beef was tender, and the onions crisp! The dipping sauce was outstanding and seemed to have extra taco toppings in it (unless I really dropped that much of my taco in the soup). I would return and stick to the tacos. read more
Tacos! Johnny Hopkins (brisket w/ pickled red onion, Lowkey slaw, Pineapple Ancho BBQ, Cheddar & Crema) and a Cluck Norris (fried chicken, chipotle cream, pico de gallo, & queso fresco) and chips & salsa. Very good tacos. read more

I love this place. Great vibe, great food, and every person I've talked to there has been super nice. We came here over a year ago and had takeout. Ever since, my picky eating 12-year-old has told people it's awesome and they HAVE to taste it. So we were in town again today and I drove up. She was so happy. Try the Cluck Norris! read more

I hear a lot of people say that Lowkey is just a lesser version of Condado Tacos, and I'd say that is a pretty fair assessment. Lowkey has the exact same vibe and décor as Condado. One thing that is different is the taste of the tacos, to which Condado is superior. My wife and daughter and I went to Lowkey wanting to try it and had an ok meal. We ordered some chips and pineapple salsa which was good, but the bowl of salsa was pretty small. The Salsa was great though, very addicting. I ordered the Three Taco Platter where I picked the Lieutenant Dan (Fried Shrimp taco with Bang-A-Rang sauce and Cucumber and Carrot Kimchi), Cluck Norris (Fired Chicken, Chipotle Cream, Pico de Gallo and Queso Fresco), Chardee Macdennis (Ground Beef, Pinto Beans, Queso, Cheddar, Lettuce, Pickled Red Onions and Taco Sauce). I then ordered an additional taco that I created myself (A Korean Beef BBQ taco made Sweet - meaning it had slaw, Pineapple Ancho BBQ, Roasted Corn, Cheddar, Cilantro and Cream). The Platter also came with very small side cups with Refried Beans and Rice. First off, the Beans and Rice are disgusting. Thankfully they were only small portions, but both were not good at all. Of the Tacos (all of which I ordered on a soft Flour shell) the Lieutenant Dan and the Korean Beef BBQ ones were my favorite. Both were very good and I really enjoyed the Cucumber and Carrot Kimchi on the Shrimp Taco. The Cluck Norris fried Chicken was extremely bland and the topping on the taco could not make up for it. Same with the ground beef in the Chardee Macdennis, extremely bland taco meat, plus it had the refried beanson it which as I already stated are not good. Luckily, there was a bottle of Cholula on every table, so I was able to put enough hot sauce on those two to make them a little better. Not to sound like everyone else, but if you have choice between Lowkey and Condado then go to Condado. But if you are looking for great tacos and a place that has more than just tacos, go to the very close El Campesino nearby. I may go back to Lowkey to give them another shot, but will definitely order more carefully to avoid some of the things that I already know they don't do very well. read more

I stopped by during the 2022 holiday season to check out their 'Margs & Mistletoe' menu and it got me in the holiday spirit! I went for the 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' margarita and was pleasantly surprised that the tequila blanco and pear juice flavors played nicely together. Lowkey's donating $1 from every specialty drink ordered to Children's Hospital Free Care Fund which makes the drinks taste that much better! read more

I don't know who Nasty Neil is...but his nachos are dope AF. I'm full but can't stop eating them. I'm just passing thru Pittsburgh, but wish I wasn't. I'd eat here everyday if I could. Friends ordered taco plates and they can't stop raving. read more
I stopped in on a Monday for lunch at the bar. The good: The art work on the walls and the general vibe is cool. The bartender was attentive and the food cane out quick. The beans and rice were good. At least as good as beans and rice can be. The bad: I ordered four tacos. The special, the swordfish, and two pulled pork. The pork tacos were very dry and the fish was fishy. All of them arrived on soft corn tortillas and they all fell apart into a big mess on the plate. The bill was $20 plus I left a $5 tip. I probably won't go back as the tacos were very average. Sorry read more

I'm gonna go mediocre to meh here. I had the Sunday special house margarita for $5, it was tasty but weak in the tequila department. Two tacos, a Bahn Mi Carnitas was decent, but the "Swordfight" Swordfish taco was weak .... it was Teriaki based, and was almost identical to the Bahn Mi in looks, but was not pleasing to my palette (your tastebuds may differ). I was hoping for a traditional fish taco with cabbage, pico, and maybe some avocado sauce, but they have no such condiments here. The decor was the best part of my lunch experience ... cool artwork adorns the walls and rooms of this place. The service was very good, and the speed from ordering to eating was excellent, I just wished it tasted better .... half a Cheer. read more
Lowkey Taco, a new taqueria in North Fayette, serves up handcrafted tacos and margaritas along with a modest beer selection and appetizers. The walls are carefully adjourned with fun painted images from floor to ceiling. It was an aesthetic pleasure being inside, and the outside patio was pleasant too. The Erlich Bachman- 3.8/5 This thing was HOT. Not taking points away from that, just giving you a fair warning. I couldn't taste any smoke on the smoked chicken, but otherwise I enjoyed the slaw and salsa on it enough. Sword Fight- 3.6 The swordfish was a little dry, and the teriyaki glaze was minuscule. The carrot was overwhelming the taco which sounds weird but I felt like it was a carrot taco instead of anything else. Johnny Hopkins- 4.6/5 This is what I'm talking about! The brisket was savory and complemented nicely with the red onion and the sweetness of the pineapple ancho BBQ and crema. This is one of my favorite tacos in Pittsburgh. Young Cheezy- 4.1/5 Another high-seller, this thing was jam-packed. A little bit of a lot going on, it was still pleasing to the palette. Queso (Traditional) - 3.8 Of the gritty variety, the queso was alright. The chips were absolutely delicious, however! Plenty of crunch, not too salty, I would get these with one of their salsas next time. Lowkey Lager- 4.2/5 Crisp with a bold flavor, this beer is great with the tacos. It's brewed in-house. I'll make the trip to Robinson to be back. For $4-5 a taco, it's not a bad value for the quality. All of the food from the meats to the toppers felt fresh. I recommend the double shell as well- for $1 up charge on any taco, it has a soft shell over a hard shell with queso and guacamole in between. Happy hour is M-F, 5-7 with half off drafts and apps. I'd be getting the Johnny Hopkins and a half-priced salsa with a coupla beers. read more
UPDATE! Returned to Low Key with friends and enjoyed my meal. We ordered the trinity dips again - this time we had salsa verde, traditional guacamole, and reaper queso. For a drink, I ordered the Tropicadelic which was pineapple and mango. Very tasty! I tried the taco of the day, sword fight, and young cheezy. The sword fight was a little too fishy for my liking, but I loved the young cheezy! The built taco creations are the way to go! read more

Delicious. Have been here 3x already in their short stint open. Good service, great queso and the tacos are a great sloppy delicious mess. You can't complain if you don't like it bc they'll make you whatever you want! Dessert nachos were a little burnt and the name is misleading, but I'm a forgiving person. read more

I really wanted to love this place, however was slightly disappointed. (We did go during opening week though, so they may need to just work on some things!) They have great happy hour specials (half off apps/drafts and $5 margaritas) we ordered the salsa, guac and queso combo (regularly $14). We ordered the spicy queso but it had somewhat of a sweet taste. The salsa and guac were ok. The tortilla chips were good but they are pretty greasy so you cannot eat too many. . I had the the build your own smoked chicken soft taco. Although the menu read smoked, it tasted like it came from a crockpot. I probably would not return for a regular meal however; if I wanted to meet some friends for drinks , I would return for a happy hour. I will say the atmosphere is probably one of the coolest in Pittsburgh with all the neat Pittsburgh themed paintings. Lastly, our waitress was also very nice ! read more
Low key was packed on a Friday during happy hour and the atmosphere was very hipster chic with murals of famous deceased yinzers and cartoon characters. The service was a bit slow and we had to ask our server things several times and she brought out the wrong beer even after double checking with us the correct order. The tortilla chips were a bit greasy and under salted and the queso was on the watery side, but the tacos were amazing and definitely made up for the underwhelming appetizers and service. We were happy to see the lettuce bowl option since my husband is diabetic. Further the price point and happy hour deals made the experience very good. Definitely just some kinks of a new restaurant and worth a try. read more
Came during opening weekend and was very impressed! Very cool atmosphere! Walls are covered in Graffiti by artists that represents Pittsburgh well! Mr. Rogers can be seen. Happy hour is very attractive. Monday-Friday 4:30-6:30--50% off appetizers, 50% off drafts, and 5 dollar margaritas. The bar is very cool. The outside patio is exposed to the bar that you see on the inside. Tacos are amazing! They have a great variety and all are tasty. A great variety of protein including Swordfish! Chips are freshly made. Drink menu has a ton of options to choose from. My bet is this place will be very popular. They still have some kinks to work out from the open but check them out!! read more

Loved Lowkey! Robinson needed more places like this. Chill atmosphere, good music, and bomb tacos. Drinks: I had the Looch Margarita with pineapple and mint and would get it again. I also tried my friends Hibiscus and the Bougie Berry Margs. You can't go wrong, they all tasted great, but Hibiscus was the favorite. Food: You need to try the Quattro Queso. Just take my word for it. My favorite tacos were Johnny Hopkins and Young Cheezy. A plus for the gluten free crowd, everything is labeled (vegan is also labeled). They have soft AND hard corn shells and all but one of the meats were GF. It's a cool place for dinner or just to grab a well made Marg. I'll definitely be back. read more

How do I start this review? Well let me say that we went to this place on a whim so I didn't expect much. Since that first visit we have been at least 7 times since October. The only problem I've had was that they once put on a topping that I had asked to not have included. It was remedied within 10 minutes. Low Key Taco is an ideal location for anyone who likes original takes on the classic taco. With nearly endless choices and easy customization options it's absolutely perfect. The food is some of the best I've ever had in my life and the ambiance is hip, funky, loud and fun as hell. As the night goes on the turn the music up a bit and allow the patrons to jam to old school funk, modern rock, house, pumped up pop and R&B hits. It's eclectic and so much fun to experience. Of note, if you need it a bit quieter, they will adjust the volume. Let me tell you about the best part... The service! I'm pretty damn sassy to put it politely and our favorite waiter (from day one) Torrey just gave me that sass right back. It was awesome! He made us feel 200% at home and completely at ease in a new space. The entire staff is absolutely epic and will take the utmost care to provide excellent service. In short go for the kick ass atmosphere. Go for the stellar service. Go for the astronomically delicious eats. Just. Go. read more
