While I do believe that a sketchy health inspection report adds some Mexican authenticity to a taco, Las Palmas Oakland is gross. Brookline, Beechview, Washington, Oakland is your Las Palmas hierarchy. La Catrina in Beechview was delicious and served all kinds of authentic Mexican food but they're just a truck now. Alquisiras Paleteria in Beechview also serves a bunch of stuff but their homemade popsicles are the stars of the show. Second best tacos in the Pittsburgh area are at La Poblanita in Coraopolis. Place is clean and the food is extremely good. Lengua is always on the menu and tripas are added to the menu on weekends.

Edgar's is fine but he uses trash tortillas. Las Palmas and La Poblanita use El Milagro tortillas, which are the best tortillas money can buy. I don't know what it is, but places around here that make their own tortillas make shitty ones. Much too dense and usually bland. Tako is overpriced hipster bullshit. Condado doesn't even offer god damn soft corn tortillas. The place is bullshit and should go **** itself straight to hell. The tortillas at Bakersfield aren't the best, but they make a good, more traditional taco but it really shouldn't even matter because their torta milanesa is the best thing on the menu and what you should be ordering anyways. Caasa Reyna is too god damn expensive. La Palapa is good but I prefer their other offerings to their tacos.

The biggest takeaway from the list is **** Condado the place is trash.

La Poblanita in the Mall at Robinson closed recently and I am mucho sad.

Condado was good, imo. Tasty food but it loses points for the environment being cramped and loud.

I think DD is genuine and I appreciate that; but in reading his past and current criticisms I have presumed that he's coming from a place where he's more experienced in the culture and seeking something more authentic. I'm a German/Slovak guy married to an Italian woman looking for something tasty to stick in my face during my lunch time. Without the cultural hangups all that is left is some goofy tacos I made to order that happen to taste really good.

Happy to have both Condado and Bakersfield within one block of work.

Speaking of Mexican food, El Campesino opens their Waterfront location tomorrow. I know there are better options in the city, but that's going to be so damn convenient. I've missed Gran Agave dearly.

There is no better sub (cold cuts) than a dibellas godfather with oil.

Beauty and Essex is nearish Chinatown depending on where you go. Excellent brunch. Cool set up you have to walk through what looks like a consignment shop to get in the main restaurant

nice, that's 4 minutes from our place along with a cat parlor that you can drink coffee and play with cats.

Checking out a Super Mario themed pop up bar near Market Square tonight. Should be a good time.

Theme will be cool, cost will be laughable
