El Campesino

Texas approved. Beans and rice had good flavor. Margaritas were really good. All around good experience.

A FOODIE’S DELIGHTFUL ENJOYMENT OF AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE 👏👏👏, all food cooked to order. None of those fast food tacos and wraps made with bottled red sauces and dead grated yellow cheeses. The restaurant itself has a lovely ambience. The staff are very courteous and attentive. The menu clearly has all the ingredients of the tastes of Mexico🇲🇽: Corn tortillas, green and red chilies, white (not black) beans, fresh white cheeses (queso fresco, not yellow processed cheese-like products) , guacamole salads, and flavorful Mexican rice. For alcohol, there’s a selection of Mexican beers and cocktails made with premium tequilas and mezcal. 😎😎😎 Choose from any of the Parrilla Campesina 👏👏👏, which highlight entrees of grilled meats mixed with al dente vegetables that are very juicy and perfectly cooked with simple seasoning. None of those thick sauces (usually from a bottle) used commonly by fast food joints and fake mexican eateries. For the uninitiated, go for the Cazuelda. It’s the best example of unadulterated Mexican food🤩🤩🤩 one may ever taste in America. Choose also from the Especialidades👏👏👏 for classic Mexican favorites, such as Mole, Tamales, Flautas and Chili Rellenos. And also from the Enchiladas 👍👍👍 for classic Mexican flavors: try the Verde, Mole, or Mexicana. You’ll never go back to the fast food ones😎😎😎. BTW, always always choose the corn tortillas NOT the wheat flour ones, the latter apparently is being (reluctantly) offered a choice as it’s a familiar one to some people. For those who somehow prefer the familiar burritos and some of enchiladas, which are Cal Mex and Tex Mex NOT authentic Mexican, there’s a small selection. SURPRISINGLY, this place manages to elevate these American inventions with true Mexican flavors. While I’m not a fan of the four tortilla, go for the California Burrito, it’s as good as one might savor in food stalls in metro San Diego. Pittsburgh has clearly a great place for Mexican dining. Enjoy 🌴🌴😃😃

One of the best Mexican stops in the area! Amazing food, great service, and many great value options! My only slight complaint is that it can get pretty loud when it's busy (if it isn't busy, perfectly fine!), so if you're sensitive to that, go with caution during prime time hours.

$$ Very friendly and polite servers. Food is delicious with generous portions. The mole sauce is a must try. The creamiest, best flan I've ever had (outside of my own). Definitely recommend the Camarones Mojo De Ajo and the Enchiladas De Mole. Great for a date, family or a celebratory event. Even on a busy weekend night the service is fast and the food is so fresh. Can't wait to go back.

Great frozen margaritas, and homemade chips & salsa to start. Be sure to order guacamole, too. Almost everything comes with rice, refried beans, and/or a small salad. Entree portions are large, so either shareable or leftovers to take home. Also enjoy the food at El Campesino.
