Taqueria Mi Mexico
A new restaurant opened in Squirrel Hill on Murray Ave. today: Taqueria Mi Mexico. New restaurants are usually exciting, but this one is particularly exciting, since until its arrival there were no Mexican restaurants in Squirrel Hill. Six of us from work decided to eat lunch there. It's unassuming, cheap, and authentic, which are great characteristics for a restaurant. The menu is simple: tacos with a variety of meat choices ($1.50/each), tortas ($4.50), and huevos ($5). They've also got a selection of Mexican soft drinks. I had three tacos: chorizo, carne asada, and barbacoa (goat). They were all good, but my favorite was the chorizo.
Taqueria Mi Mexico has earned a spot in my weekly restaurant rotation for sure. Its arrival also means that there are now restaurants of almost every popular cuisine within walking distance of my apartment.

Sigh, way too many places to eat... I'm going to miss Pittsburgh and the fattiness.

We were seated and two sets of patrons orders were taken and they had their food served before we were even approached for an order. We tried to wave the staff down and were pointedly ignored. Since we live in the neighborhood, we'll be telling everyone we know not to patronize this establishment, we'll be at Sushi House and the Mediterranean Grill instead!
