“ Finally got a chance to try this place out and was not disappointed at all. My wife and I both agreed that, as people who seek out new food experiences, this was one of the best Mexican restaurants we have ever eaten at. The food was fresh and cooked properly, and the flavors were amazing! The mole enchiladas are amazing as were the house made corn masa sopes with steak or chicken! There aren't many tables; so, I suspect they do most of their business is takeout, but I would recommend going in person and getting it fresh. We will be back as soon as possible. ”

“ If you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Unlike many spots that lean into the usual Tex-Mex offerings, this restaurant stays true to traditional flavors and ingredients. Can't wait to return for another round of authentic deliciousness! ”

“ With some friends, we are on a quest to find good Mexican food in the Southwest Pittsburgh area. Most places are just so- so, so imagine how pleased we were to find this place! What you get here is not from the corporate distributor who seem to be the suppliers of almost all the other "Mexican" restaurants around. For one, look at their logo - the Marlin indicates that they come from the region around Acapulco and they feature many fish and seafood dishes from that region. Of course, they do Americanize their dishes, but they managed to maintain the flavors that we've been looking for. For this visit, we decided to try the fajitas, Alembra, and Enchiladas in Mole sauce. All were full of flavor and nicely presented. See the pictures for an idea of how these dishes come. The staff are the owners. While the parents cook, the son is the waiter. Since it was early and the place was not busy, we had the chance to chart about Mexico, the restaurant, and the food. Service was excellent - and not just because of our discussions. When other patrons showed up, we saw them get the same great service. The place has been open for a little more than a year now. We will certainly come again to try some more of their specialties. ”

“ Absolutely phenomenal. Although the dining area is small and quaint,the service was great. But the food.... WOW. Definitely if not the best tacos in Pittsburgh. They are up there. Also try something else than tacos. We tried a freshly made Sopes. Just was super impressed and since there was a wait to make the Sopes the kitchen gave us some Queso. Just great fresh food and friendly staff ”

We left feeling completely satisfied and are already looking forward to our next visit! ”

“ A great experience overall. I ordered for a future time on a particular day and when I got there to pick it up the employee said he didn't notice it was for a future pickup time and he made it 30 minutes ago, so he remade my food so it was fresh. This was not necessary but greatly appreciated. The food was ready in about 10 minutes and it was delicious. The guac was perfect and the birria tacos had tons of flavor. ”

“ Super authentic, homemade food with fresh and high quality ingredients. We had the shrimp fajitas which were delicious and came with a good portion of shrimp, as well as the quesobirria tacos which came with an amazing, flavorful side dipping sauce. Would not have expected to find somewhere with such authentic Mexican cuisine in this area! We have traveled to 10 countries in Central and South America, so we have a strong sense of what is authentic and high quality. The space is bright and airy, spotlessly clean and with cute interior decor - lights, music, and wall mural. We also met the owner who has so much passion for this family-owned and run business. We will definitely be back! ”

“ Great local spot and food! Everything was delicious and tasteful. The chicken and steak tacos, chips, and salsa were on point. There’s not a lot of seating inside (enough to seat 25), but this place does offer takeout. Will definitely come back. Pricing was reasonable too. ”
