    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mole tamal, al pastor taco and lengua taco
    Sue T.

    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.

    Steak and Chorizio Tacos
    Jessica D.

    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.

    Gaucho Parrilla Argentina - Perfection!

    Stopped into Gauchos after a rain delay at a Pirates game and had a great experience. We were able…read moreto grab seats at the bar and get served right away, which was perfect given the circumstances. They had a Pirates game day special with a Miller Lite draft and a glizzy, which was a fun and easy option. I also ordered the carne sandwich with chimichurri sauce, and it was absolutely amazing--packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The side salad was fresh and really good, which was a nice addition. I also tried the Sandía y Tajín cocktail, and it was delicious--super refreshing with just the right kick. Overall, great food, quick service, and a perfect stop during the game delay. I'll definitely be back!

    We were lucky to grab seats at the bar because this place was hopping.....like, "do we hover…read moreawkwardly or commit?" level busy. Thankfully, it worked out. Recommend making a reservation! While we were definitely feeling a bit nostalgic for the Gaucho of the past (RIP Smallman Street era), we were willing to give this new-to-us downtown location a fair shot... and it delivered. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive...present without being too present, which honestly deserves its own award. We went with two sandwiches: the carne and the pescado, and upgraded one with the papas, because obviously. Both were delicious and did exactly what we needed them to do: make us stop thinking about ordering more food (for a few minutes, at least). But let's be real, the house-made chimichurris are the main event. The Ajo? Addictive. The Cebolla? My personal favorite. The Pimentón? Tangy and doing the most (in a good way). And the classic chimichurri continues to quietly carry the entire operation like the MVP it is. Washed it all down with some local beers and called it what it was: a perfect night bite with just enough nostalgia to keep things interesting.
