on Citysearch Dec 29, 2008This mexican food restaurant is the best I've found in this area. The pricing is reasonable while the food is very good. The service is generally fast and has been a favorite for awhile... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2007I first went to this restaurant about 3 years ago and remembered it as being very good, as close to authentic as it could be here in PA, Mexican food. I'm not in this area of town often and had the opportunity to have lunch... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2006Awesome food. I've been to all of the El Campesino locations but the Monroeville location takes the cake. Everything on the menu is fantastic. Enchilada and burrito sauces, salsa, and refried beans are some of the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2006Mexican food? Not even close. Let us start with the beginning~ when you are eating GOOD Mexican food NO one cares how the place looks... Ever been to a taco stand on the corner? But this might as well been McDonald's.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 19, 2006I used to love this restaurant but lately, it's slipping. The service isn't so friendly as it used to be (it depends on who you get) the food quality has become very inconsistent, and the prices are climbing as the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 10, 2006Pittsburgh Mexican food = combo plates, period. Hopefully someday that will change. In the meantime, far as combo-plate joints in Pittsburgh go, El Campesino is above average. The one thing they do better than... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 27, 2006I was born and raised in south Texas.. the birth place of Tex-Mex. El Campesino upholds the Tex-Mex Standards 100%. The nachos are to die for! The fajitas are heavenly! The salsa is nice and spicy.. Though you can... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 15, 2006I have been eating here for years. I was a little reserved the first time, but after that, I was hooked. The food is homemade and nothing beats it. The service is friendly and quick. I get the chicken burritos and a side of... (more)

on Citysearch May 17, 2006I had ordered the Special to try several things. The little round thing was very good, but that was the only food that was. The hamburg was DRY with NO taste. I thought you could get chicken. For 11.95 for the meal I... (more)

on Judys Book Oct 21, 2005One of the best places that i've been to in PIttsburgh. Not saying a whole lot though. There aren't many good places to choose from. But I would saw this is the best. Good prices, good food, good portions. Well worth a... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 10, 2005I should preface this review by saying I've lived in Texas and find the Mexican food up here sadly lacking. I had high hopes for this hole in the wall restaurant. After all, with an atmosphere this bad, the food must be... (more)

on Citysearch May 22, 2004The food and the staff are great here. It has been a while since I have been to Mexico - but I never forgot what the tastes like! I have not had a Margarita yet (yes they are serving!) but I hear they are fantastic. Chi... (more)

on Citysearch May 16, 2004I'm from LA where great mexican food lurks behind every corner. Can't really say that about Pittsburgh. But among the places I've tried here, this comes the closest. The food is as authentic as it gets in the Burgh.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 08, 2004I lived in San Antonio, Tx Where I got the oppurtunity to get to know what authentic Mexican food can be like. I loved it. Before Elcampesino came I couldn't find anything close. My search has ended. Thier food and... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 29, 2004After trying several lame "Mexican" restaurants in Pittsburgh, we stumbled on to El Campesino. THis is dirt-cheap, delicious Mexican food. Pretty authentic, great chiles and chicken and BYOB. If you are... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 31, 2003One day I was given guacamole that was substandard. The avocado was clearly underripe. When I asked for an explanation, I was told "No, the avocado's weren't ready, but we served it anyway, because you ordered it" I... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2003The Mexican food here is different from I am used to having recently moved from west Texas and eating Tex-Mex all the time. I don't like chain restaurants Mexican food very much, I prefer the smaller, family owned type... (more)
