    Shrimp, Steak, and Chicken Tacos
    Melissa N.

    Who doesn't love a Taco Tuesday?! The Tuesday special for tacos was shrimp, chicken, beef for $3 and steak for $4. Salsa Sam's tacos and food was absolutely incredible. The shrimp and steak were my favorite. You could taste the high quality in the proteins. The salsa was made fresh to order. The street corn was divine!! It truly was Chef's kiss. Rice and beans were good too. I tried to order the queso mac n cheese, but that was the only menu item that could not be produced that day. I will come back to try it. The service was friendly. It did take a bit for the food to be served, but I am hoping that was a one off situation as they seemed to be short staffed. The wait was worth it though! It was all made fresh to order. Hands down the best tacos in the area!!

    Saw this place when visiting a nearby brewery, and decided to stop in! They are very accommodating and will bring your takeout order to any of the nearby businesses! We ordered the burrito with shrimp, shrimp taco, fish taco, queso Mac and cheese, and shotski dip combo! Everything was fresh and very good. I really enjoyed the shrimp in both the burrito and the taco. It's very chargrilled, and cooked well! The queso is also very good, cheesy with a little spice! Likely one of the best taco spots in the surrounding area. Would definitely come back next time we are near Irwin!

    Hands down the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. The fish is also great!! The guacamole and queso were also on par! I couldn't say anything better about the food here! Definitely worth a try!

    First visit thanks to my daughter's recommendations. She could not believe how fabulous all of the salsa dips tasted, and clued me in to this newer taco eatery. However, today was not a salsa day for me because I discovered that Penn State Creamery Ice Cream is also available here, so ice cream ruled. There were 3 flavors available, and usually change once the next Penn State trip occurs to replenish as needed. The shop itself is small, but very quaint, cool, and inviting. The owner was exceptionally friendly, and well-equpped to start, and maintain lively conversation about his background, travels, and the passion he has when it comes to creating healthy, and tasteful products and meals . It is a family run operation, and he and his wife are working hard to offer the community quality food in a comfortable setting. I look forward to the next visit to give the tacos, and salsas a try, and to find out what new ice cream flavors await me.

    Great service and delicious food! Hidden gem! They exceeded expectations. Best tacos in town! Keto style too!

    Fish taco

    I really enjoyed eating at Salsa Sam's Eatery. My favorite thing was the queso - I could drink that or eat it with a spoon! We also tried the fish taco and a rice bowl. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant is quirky and comfortable. I live across town but next time I'm out this way I will definitely stop again.

    This place is the cutest with small space inside to dine but back yard/ patio for summer is very cool. The owner is so friendly, spent a ton of time talking to us and talking about his restaurant. We just stopped in for ice cream because they are one of the few locations in and around Pittsburgh area that carries the Penn State Creamery ice cream. If you like tacos, ice cream and fun vibe then stop here and check it out.

    Shrimp & Lobster Nachos

    Amazing taco. We started with the seafood nachos. We had fish taco & Baja shrimp taco. On top of that, wonderful service too. Definitely be back with our taco-loving friends.

    The new courtyard seating!

    Freshest place in Irwin. Cozy little interior. Delicious food. Got the fish tacos and they were quite tasty, as were the jackfruit tacos.

The Food (A+): I ordered the shrimp tacos and the mango avocado dip with chips. Let me tell you, everything tasted incredibly fresh. The flavor profiles were thoughtful and vibrant. A major highlight was the shrimp taco itself; the addition of jicama was genius, providing a perfect, unexpected crunch and hint of sweetness. It elevated the whole experience beyond a standard taco. The Atmosphere: I took my order to go, but when I picked up my food, I found the ambiance to be exciting, clean, lively, and decorated in bright colors. It definitely looks like a fun place to hang out! The Service: The staff is on point--friendly, fast, and efficient. They moved quickly to keep everything running smoothly, which is essential during a busy lunch rush. This level of service truly completed an already exceptional dining experience. If you're looking for delicious, customizable, and high-quality tacos in the 'Burgh, this is your spot. Five stars all the way!

While flavor is fine, it's the same size you can buy at Chipotle for $3. Then, the queso fundido is bad. The queso isn't really melted, the flavor is missing, and they don't give tortillas to eat it with, just tortilla chips. For $14, this is really bad. The chips and salsa is again bad. The chips are so stale which is disappointing. Don't get the fajitas. I got the "mix 3" and ordered chicken and shrimp. There were 5 pieces of shrimp and a few measly, dry pieces of chicken. At $22, fajitas should also come with tortillas. But again, no tortillas are provided. Quite disappointing. Churros are decent and the chocolate ice cream is actually tasty (definitely store bought). Avoid this restaurant if you don't want to be scammed and left disappointed in the entire experience.

ENTER PITTSBURGH TACO BOYS I placed my order online and was able to even pick it up a few minutes before the estimated time. The shop has ample parking on a side street in Oakmont and it is pretty simple to navigate too. As soon as you enter, you are greeted with the kitchen and employees. The smell is divine as the fresh meats, veggies, and cooking infuse throughout the entire place. They have a nice seating area for anyone who wants to eat at the restaurant. I took mine to go... I ordered the Chicken Thigh Taco, Beef Shoulder Taco, and Chips with Queso. The tacos were fresh with handmade, fresh tortillas. You can even taste the freshness of all of the salsas, sauces, and toppings. I devoured every bite! The queso was a little thinner than I'm used to, but it actually surprised me as to how good it was when dunking my chips and tacos. I work 10 minutes away and this place will be a go to for me and my coworkers from now on.
