    Went Friday for happy hour. Wings were awesome. Can't beat the 1/2 price beers. Will be back to try an entree!

    We love this placeeee!!!…read more They have a sister restaurant in Shadyside.. Tocayo... but Totopo is sooo much bigger. Right on the Main Street of Mt. Lebanon, we have been here a handful of times. The restaurant has won countless awards through the years and they deserve it. Right from the jump, you can see the modern and thematic choices that transport you into an ambiance worth the dining experience already. The staff is great, always attentive, and the wait staff constantly will check in on you. This trip, we had earned some rewards (they have an awesome reward program... who doesn't like free food) so we just wanted a quick bite. It was happy hour on apps, so we just got the Carnitas Nachos and Queso. They always give chips and salsa... which is soooo good. We almost ordered the table side fresh made guacamole but the nachos came with guacamole. Let's just say two apps... STUFFEEEEDDDD us. Everything was so good. The carnitas had a wonderful smoky taste and was so juicy. Everything was fresh made. We ate and left happy for only $3.

    We had a great dinner on a very busy Saturday night. We had sites in the bar for about 15-20 and…read morethen got seated in the back dining room. The chips and salsa are a great start but the meals were even better! My husband ordered two sets of two tacos...not great! He did not need both sides of rice and beans but didn't realize they would bring out one for each order. I picked a combo dinner and both of my picks were delicious. We would love to go back and try even more items from the menu.

    Had lunch the other day with a friend, and it was good. Not the authentic Mexican I'm still…read moresearching for, but we had several tasty items. My friend recommended the black bean dip, and it was quite good. I'm a guac/salsa & chips girl, but this was a nice change. It was flavorful and had a nice smoky kick from chipotle. Sadly, this is another Mexican place that has eliminated the free chips & salsa. For my entree - a Mad Mex bowl with shrimp. The grilled corn was a great addition. The faro was a bit thick with the other items, but the grilled peppers & onion, with fresh cherry tomatoes, avocado, and shrimp were really good. I did ask a server for some salsa, and she brought a small ramekin of this *fabulous* pineapple habanero salsa that she said was her fave, and I quickly saw why. Excellent stuff - the pineapple really sings with a zip of citrus & heat. Yum! My friend got his usual - the crispy Baja tacos. The 3 tacos were crammed with cornmeal breaded & fried tilapia, slaw, avocado, cilantro, and topped with a zingy chipotle aioli. The only negative to me was the flour tortillas; I'm a corn tortilla girl. That dish came with rice o & beans. It was a TON of food. We each ended up taking food home. It was a nice lunch. Service was ok. Next time I come, I'll either try their signature burrito or - my friend's sister's fave: the wings (at a Mexican joint?!?). My friend - who has been coming for years - thought the prices had gone up on the menu. Almost $18 for *tilapia* fish tacos is definitely a bit much. Still, I would try it again. Love the decor inside. The place is huge. Great for big parties.

    Always a great visit to the Shadyside Mad Mex! Check their website before you visit - they have…read moredaily specials on food and drink that's worth the search. After craving some Birria tacos, my friend and I decided to stop at Mad Mex after visited the Barnes and Nobles nearby. Big portions, huge variety of menu items, and an extensive drink list - someone in your group is bound to find something to like here. Service was amazing and we were able to be seated immediately!

The service is fast, they make it in front of you, and you have the option of picking some stuff up at the grocery store while you are there. Friendly family type ambiance and it feels good to know you are supporting a small business like this. At $4 a taco, when they are generous with the authentic meat filling, double up on the freshly grilled corn tortillas, and allow unlimited toppings made fresh daily make these tacos one of the best deals around. The filling is already super flavorful, so you don't necessarily need extra toppings, but I like adding extra onions and cilantro. For me, a lot of the salsas were extra spicy, so my recommendation is to taste them before putting them on the taco. The ones I got honestly didn't need any extra added flavor. I got the steak and onions and the pork with pineapple and loved them both equally. I got them last week and already miss them - the smell and texture of the meat, the fresh toppings, how your breath tastes after, the combo of everything together - definitely a solid taco joint

The tacos are given to you instantly after ordering and there is an unlimited topping bars with great sauces. There are no seating so this is mainly a takeout spot but it is perfect to take to a park to enjoy.
