El Campesino - Pittsburgh

My first time here. The food was absolutely delicious, can't wait to go back.

Good, simple, Mexican. I had the Quesadilla Roja with ground beef. Unlike many other places, this ground beef was well seasoned and didn’t taste like chili powder. The food was hot and fresh. I judge Mexican restaurants by their chips and salsa; the salsa had excellent flavor but was a bit watery. The chips were thick and crunchy. Definitely worth a return trip.

Kind workers, as well as decent priced but great food!

2024 review: The top 3 recommendations: 1) Shrimp tacos I love them. Haven't had such good tacos anywhere. 2) Tomatillo sauce 3) Quesadilla fajita Their tomatillo sauce is (too spicy and hot, not for everyone. It's probably 4 5 times spicy than hot salsa). It goes with everything momos/dumplings, spring rolls, etc. 2021 review: I ordered through Grubhub and absolutely loved it. The best items were Pollo Poblano and Chicken Quesadilla Fajita. The problem I usually face with Mexican food is uncooked tortillas. Not at this place!!! The tortillas were perfectly cooked and soft and the fillings were perfect (cheese, chicken, peppers, etc). Both their items had taste and flavor!! I will definitely try their other items.

Food is good but we ordered the large margaritas and they were the absolute worst! They didn’t look or taste like margaritas, they were orange in color and tasted weak. I feel we paid $11 for a large glass of orange kool aid.
