Confirmed with Link: Pens trade for Patric Marleau

My biggest complaint about the Pittsburgh food scene. Below average Mexican places.

Yeah it's more along the lines of McDonalds quality Mexican food, nothing authentic, just your typical westernized fare.

I know it isn't "Mexican", but I love the tacos at Condado.

I don't mind tako, but it is over-priced. Bakersfield isn't anything special.

I had one of these burritos in Madison WI at the end of a weird night. Didn’t have the address of where I was staying but me and the cabbie pieced it together while I bought him a burrito as big as his head. His brother in law was from the town next to my hometown in Australia lol. Good burritos

Condado is top notch...both of them. When I say Mexican, I am not talking about places like that. I'm talking about Emiliano's and that place in Wexford. I think there are a few more around the city. Everything tastes microwaved.

Sal y Limon on Kingsway in Vancouver is pretty good, for such a yuppy city, it's got a lot of very good restaurants hidden all over the place, this one is like one of a few restaurants I think? But the food is pretty decent.

I wish we had food Mexican food in San Diegoz

Beer cheese is actually Czech, but still 100% horrible. It’s an Olomouc thing. I didn’t get it myself.

That is because we just call it 'food' lol lol adding Mexican is just redundant

You're that close to Mexico and you guys don't have a decent place?

Was likely sarcasm. They've got plenty of good Mexican food.

 

[Son Goku]

I love how I come here to see what people thought of Marleau and instead every post is about Mexican food

Also in Millvale now. The Bloomfield location doesn't have seating, but Millvale does.

The only Mexican restaurants I've gone to in Pittsburgh are Mad Mex, which is a whatever chain, and Topoto, which was legitimately good. That reminds me, I should go to Topoto this weekend on my way home from IKEA.

We need a sarcafont in this place!

Be prepared to have your baseline for good blown out of the water by a mere taco truck you can randomly find on your SoCal trip.

Let alone a taqueria.

Some carnitas might melt Emp's mind!

Shit, now I want carnitas really badly.

I don't remember the name, but I had some pretty good Street Meat tacos somewhere in the strip district.

Reyas? I think they're 21st and Smallman? Pretty close to Penn Mac?

That looks familiar on G Maps. Pretty sure that was it.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Wait, what am I talking about? Renya is the Mexican grocery store/taco stand Penn. Not Reyas. I think that was out in Lawrenceville/Garfield for some reason.

Have you had Hofbrauhaus ?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

If there were a taco named after Marleau, what would the fillings and toppings be?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I just want a bowl piled up with Chipotle's grilled chicken please. I've always wanted to ask for just a shitload of chicken at Chipotle, but I was always afraid I was going to be judged for that. But that's the only reason I get Chipotle, their chicken is awesome and I've been trying to mimic it in my own kitchen for a while.

If there's a type of Mexican food that is carnitas with Chipotle grilled chicken, I will get a flight there right now.

I edited my original reply and probably made that confusing....Anyway, I am pretty sure it was Casa Reyna. They have a little wooden outdoor stand that we used. Street Meat was probably the wrong choice of words
