Food wasn't bad here. The people working here were nice as well. The ranchero burrito wasn't bad but there wasn't much flavor to it in my opinion. I'd like to try other items on this menu to give it another shot! read more

The food here was fantastic. I held back on the 5th star for two minor reasons. Although it is very clean and has a cool vibe, it was pretty smokey inside and a bit cold. I dont know if the exhaust fans weren't working properly but the day I was there you left smelling like you worked in the kitchen. The were also very backed up that day. The folks are super nice and apologetic. I doubt its always backed up like this but they business was steady. I will definitely be returning. Again, food was great. read more

Bea is no longer part of Taco Town but the food and service are still amazing!!! Clean and welcoming spot. Been a fan for years. This is an updated review to reflect Bea no longer owner. read more

Taco Town - day of the dead decorations - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Waited 20 minutes at lunchtime -- and from the # of tickets ahead of me, I would have been waiting another 30 minutes for my measly 2 tacos. Cancelled the order. Won't do that again. read more

Taco Town is Authentic Mexican. The food is excellent . Was doing handyman repairs across the street and stopped in for lunch. The service was good didn't have to wait long till your number called. Nice Mexicano restaurant atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. Reasonably priced read more

Ordered chips and salsa. How does a Mexican restaurant "run out" of salsa?? The place is definitely hit or miss.

This place was absolutely wonderful! I placed my order to go and it was prepared very fast. Everyone working seemed so nice, it was a lovely experience. I got an original burrito which was delicious. The inside of the place is also very cute. Will definitely come back here! read more

I am super surprised at how good this place was! On the outside it doesn't look the best. And, the prices are really quite cheap. The food might not be the most authentic, and it's not "high class," but it is delicious. I tried the empanadas with chicken and cheese, rice, beans, and a churro. The empanadas were incredibly good! They were huge too. Filled with lots of tasty cheese. The chicken was well cooked and well seasoned. I would have loved it to be a tad more crunchy, but still very good. The beans (black beans) were just okay. They tasted a bit canned, but they came for free with the empanadas. The rice was pretty good, but not that flavorful. Still tasty though. The churros was decent as well. It made for a nice dessert. Decent size, but the taste was not remarkable at all. Kind of standard. All in all, I really enjoyed this place. It's some of the best empanadas I've had in a while. And, the sides aren't bad either. Very good prices and portions. Definitely recommend for some cheap Mexican! read more

Visiting for work and it had good reviews so I came for a late lunch. The al pastor was juicy with a more sweet and sour burst than usual al pastors but in a good way. the hot sauce had a nice burning heat, guac was creamy but chunkier which I prefer. The beans were cooked perfect, the asada meat was way better than most I've tasted, flavorful without any dryness and cut in the ideal size. The tortilla was nicely toasted. Best of all, none of the food was salty which is nearly impossible to find in any city, anywhere. Def my go to for lunch now when I'm in town. read more

The food is great, but do not order ahead for pickup through Yelp because the prices are shamelessly inflated without notice. I ordered a ranchero burrito for pickup through the app for a list price of $14.50, only to discover that it's actually $13.00 on the menu in the restaurant. The restaurant will likely claim that Yelp charges it a fee, but nobody is forcing it to allow pickup orders through Yelp, so that cost should not be borne by the unsuspecting customer--especially because it is undisclosed. If the restaurant gets zero benefit from pickup orders through Yelp, which would be the only justification for shifting Yelp costs to the customer as a penalty, it should prominently disclose the fact that menu prices are increased on Yelp and advise customers to order directly through its website instead, where I confirmed they are not increased. read more

I love this place. I used to come for lunch often when I worked downtown and still make a point to stop when I'm in the area. Food comes out quickly even when they are busy. My favorite is the California burrito but everything is good! Reasonably priced as well! read more

GO HERE I didn't take any pictures because the food was gone before I even touched my phone. Amazing from a service standpoint, food standpoint, and overall vibe. Prices are on par with any other taqueria , the Al Pastor was moist , fresh pineapple, fresh guacamole. Overall, a fantastic meal. They had authentic filled Churros, which were a wonderful edition to my meal here. The worker behind the counter when above and beyond constantly to make sure the experience was good( while not nagging) . Having worked in the service industry for several years, this ticks the boxes for me. read more

It was fine, queso is good, portions size was kinda small and they really skimped on the toppings, also my churro was cold :/ but I think if it was warm it would have been good. read more

Not a bad lunch spot. The fish is good! The tacos are pretty decent as are the ranchero burritos. The steak is super salty. The salsa is like water. They get your food out in 5-10 minutes. Update - I probably won't return to this restaurant. I visited again today. The steak in my burrito was hard. They messed up my coworkers order completely. I ordered the chips and salsa. The chips were stale and the salsa was disgusting and bland. It looked like someone put it in the blender. Pretty disappointed. read more

I wanted to love this place, I really did. I decided to order take out for lunch since it's just down the street from my work. The establishment itself was clean and cute. It was on the smaller side but it still felt like you had space. I went up to the counter and was greeted by a super friendly and helpful staff person. I ordered the shrimp tacos. I was very disappointed. The shrimp was rubbery, the tortilla was soggy, and I ordered no beans and the taco came out with beans. If you're looking for tacos down town there are way better options to explore. read more

What a great little taco gem located downtown. I walked here on my lunch break and enjoyed the fresh, authentic tacos. Quick service & yummy food. The chicken tortilla soup was served lukewarm but it was so tasty I didn't care. Also had a taco with carne asada, rice & black beans on corn tortillas. Will definitely be going back! read more

This particular Bea Taco Town is one of several Taco Town locations - there's another one closer to central downtown on the very same street, funny enough. But since this shop sits pretty close to the edge of downtown closer to the Monongahela River, it's a more convenient meal option for those of us working in this section of the area. I've stopped in here a couple of times, both to dine in-house and to grab food to-go so that I could eat in my office. I don't really have a strong recommendation either way - the establishment itself is pretty minimalist: wood tables, tiled floor...There's no harm in chilling here while you enjoy your meal, and there's no big loss if you take your meal to go, either. Way more important in my mind is what I order, because I love some good food! Here, my meals have ranged from ok to delightfully tasty. Per a coworker's rave review I once ordered a couple "OMG tacos". True to their name, those were some big tacos! And the toppings on them were quite tasty. The pork was sweet and juicy, always a good sign; I've had one too many dry pork tacos in my day! Unfortunately, the big strike against this particular order was that while the filling and toppings were all around yummy, my taco shells themselves were soggy. They were not soggy to the point of falling apart or anything - truth be told, if I hadn't just eaten at another taco joint the weekend before, I might not have noticed as much as I did. Alas, I did notice, and unfortunately the slightly mushy taco shells really detracted from the deliciousness that was inside them. But another time, I ordered a naked burrito - a.k.a. a burrito bowl. This meal was much more to my liking: a bowl piled high with lettuce, rice, beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and queso fresco. And all of that was topped with a meat of my choice. The lime and salt seasoning made for quite the zesty entree. Just thinking about it makes me want to come back for more... Though I'm admittedly not a regular here, between my meals here and my coworkers' unanimous love for Taco Town, I know that their menu has some solid options for when I find myself craving some Mexican while at work; plus, given how busy a certain other spot in Market Square is, it's nice to have a less crowded go-to for my burrito and burrito bowl needs! Taco Town will see me again at some point, for sure. read more

I really enjoyed this place more than I thought that I would. We came during a work day for lunch. The restaurant itself is not fancy but gives you the vibe of a pizza shop. You order at the counter first and then sit anywhere that you want. At the time that we visited, more than half of the menu was not available. However, I really like the tacos!! It came with a side of black beans which was delicious since it had a hint of cilantro. I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving for tacos! read more

Service is great. Food is amazing. I would recommend coming here. Best Mexican food around. Very clean and upbeat music.

Reviewing Bea's is like reviewing a friend. I literally go to this place every single week for Taco Tuesday. Been going for a year. Somehow, someway, I haven't gotten tired of it. That alone should tell you how I feel. They did bump up the prices recently, but it's still very reasonable. While I haven't tried the entire menu (dietary restrictions), I can suggest the following: * Ranchero Burrito - delicious, tomatoey goodness. Only recently replaced as number one in my heart by... * Black and Gold Burrito. Heaven. Their mole sauce is so, so good. * Tortilla Soup - the variety with chicken can be a bit salty, but a great side dish. * Enchiladas con Mole - Like I said, bomb Mole. Delicious. * Veggie Tacos - I get these 75% of the time and I'm somehow not sick of them. Love Bea's. Stop by. You won't regret it. read more

I ate here once for lunch because I was recommended it by a co-worker. She told me that these tacos were the best in Pittsburgh. I was not impressed. The service was phenomenal. Everyone I talked to was super smiley and complimentary. I also really enjoyed how there was a giant menu behind the counter that I could look at and order from. The tacos were average in my opinion. Nothing really wowed me. I ordered a lengua taco and an al pastor. I was disappointed in the pineapples on the al pastor. It seemed like they were just cubed pineapples from the can. They didn't add the fresh sweetness I typically expect from an al pastor taco. The lengua was also sub-par. Nothing impressive to report. The tamal I ordered was the best thing I ate. The tamal was very soft and delicate however, very tasty. In wish I would've ordered three of them. I'd try this place again and order something other than tacos however, there is nothing that I experienced that would make me want to come back. read more

Great downtown lunch or quick dinner spot! I ordered and ate two tacos (chorizo and steak) all under 15 minutes. Tacos come with white onion, cilantro, rice, and the protein of your choice. All tacos come with two shells (for extra support) - you usually have enough filling to split it out into another taco (FOUR TACOS?!). Bea Taco Town has a couple locations, but I believe this one on Smithfield (closer to the Smithfield Bridge side of town) is newer. Personally if you want less foot traffic, come over to this one. It's away from the bustle, but still generally pretty busy. I've been here at least 4 times in the last 2 months and am never disappointed. read more

Great place! Really nice to have a place close to work where you can get great Mexican. Love the vegetarian options!

When I got my first burrito it had a hair in it (looked like a black cat hair..... ) no apologies. My sons words follow- "and they did not even give a shit". Well, then I got my second burrito after they took the first one and it still had a hair in it. This time what appeared to be a white cat hair. Done. Just left as I wasn't trying to collect a whole calico. read more

Yes! My tastebuds and mouth delight in the explosion of taste as I bite into my first bit of taco salad from Bea Taco Town. YES! YES YES! They are rejoicing. The lettuce is marinated briefly, the rice is cooked to perfection, the beans are just toothsome enough, the guacamole is a revelation, sour cream, and of course.. to star of the whole damn salad the Cochinita Pibil (Slow Cooked Pork in Achiote & Orange). I sing the praises as I eat. My friend agrees. Holy hell this is delicious. The crispy insanity of that shell, my lord I have found my lunch spot downtown. Nothing will ever take me away from this place. Please never close. Please never move. Please. Please. Stay in my life forever. I did not know how good tacos could be in this city until I found you, Beas Taco Town. They will surely continue to be the the Tac-O-The-Town if they keep up this deliciousness. read more

I've had a few lunches here and it is BY FAR my favorite Mexican place now! Pros: The food is fresh. The flavors are spot on! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. The barbacoa is fantastic! Cons: None - you have to try this place if you haven't yet! read more

Love this place....took one star off because I think the meat portions could be a bit more. Freash, delicious, friendly staff and nice location. This is a great lunch spot for you to ride solo or take a friend. I ate the entire salad including the taco shell bowl. Prices are good and the service is quick as well as efficient. read more

So I ordered the Ranchero Burrito, and as per the description it says it has sour cream and guacamole, i kid you not! Those two are nowhere to be found in my Burrito, all i see is Rice, beans and the chicken if its not with the sauce the Burrito is completely dry like a concrete. I dissected my Burrito to see where is it, and its so expensive for such a plain dry food. So disappointed! read more

Went to this place for a quick dinner after running some errands down town. I got the chicken quesadilla and chips and salsa. The food came out super quick. I really enjoyed the salsa, it's a little runny and the chips are thin and crispy. The chicken quesadilla was delicious and came with some guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. Very good place and priced very reasonable. read more

Cash is Not King at Bea's!! Tried to use a $20 to pay and was asked to use a card because they do not have a cash register drawer and he pointed to a small handful of ones with which he was making change. read more

I am so excited to write this review today! Gonna preface by saying I'm from San Diego. I moved to Pittsburgh over 3 years ago and have been searching tirelessly for decent Mexican food that would satiate someone from a city that is neighbors with Mexico. I just started a new job right around the corner from Bea's and holy guac I am SO impressed with their food! I got Carne asada, pollo asado, and pescado tacos today for lunch and was THRILLED. The sign of a good Mexican place (in my opinion) is the quality of their Carne asada and this place didn't disappoint. Their salsa is also super spicy and delicious. I'm going back every week! Can't wait to try the California burrito next time. Highly recommend this place for authentic Mexican food! read more

It was alright, but wouldn't get it again. Order the cheese dip and a jumbo burrito. The dip was soupy with chunks of cheese in it (wasn't suppose to be that way). Burrito was decent. The jumbo burrito is HUGE! Enough for 3 meals. So you get your moneys worth on that. Wasn't the best burrito I've had, but not the worst either. Overall average but not worth going back. read more

My five stars are based solely on how delicious the vegetarian tacos are - they're so robust & tasty. They include rice & beans, fabulous grilled poblanos with cheese melted on, and some other toppings. They're even better when you add the medium-hot sauce that comes on the side with each order - the flavor is incredibly complex. Love these veggie tacos so much. (Side note, also ordered chips & salsa which were far inferior. But the veggie tacos!!) read more

This is one of the best taco places in Pittsburgh. The saddest part is it not open on weekends or nights. The tacos are all well seasoned and bursting with flavor. 3 tacos and a Jarritos, a great lunch sorted for a very reasonable price. read more
