This is my second time visiting this place first time was last week really good I got the mahi mahi tacos, now I gave four stars because last week I got the fish was fresh and HUGE and also delicious. This week they are a lot smaller in size and also tasted different (sort of like fish sticks) versus what I had last week they were both good nonetheless just was expecting the same thing I got last week including taste although I ordered the exact same tacos which was the mahi-mahi tacos. Still a nice place just don’t have AC at the moment so unless your getting them to go don’t go when it’s 95 degrees outside. Otherwise I still think it’s a good spot, hope this was helpful.
Having lived out west as well as in Texas I was initially worried when I moved to Pittsburgh about having a spot to get the Mexican food I knew and loved. Then I found El Burro. Years later I've never had a bad meal, and with their terrific back patio it's a go to for me and my family and friends.
The recipes are there but the execution not so much. The carne asada and shredded beef burritos I’ve had both had a fishy taste, likely prepared on the same spot as seafood items. The quesadilla I received wasn’t even melted all the way. West coast chains (Rubios, etc.) do it all better. I’d typically rate 3 stars but the great back patio and context (its Mexican in Pittsburgh) brings things from a 3 to 4 star.
