This is by far the best burrito I have ever had in my entire life. It is a bit difficult to order because it is authentic Mexican. they do try to have at least one interpreter to speak English. Their burritos taste entirely different than any other I have tried. They are incredible. You have to try, but you will be hooked. Other burritos just won't taste that good anymore. Be prepared. Being completely honest.

Part of The Gary & Nate Taco Tour Pittsburgh. Spartan, seemingly authentic, Ma & Pa Mexican restaurant at the curve on Beechview. As two lily-white suburbanites, we lack the cred to proclaim this \Authentic Mexican\, but ALL of the staff (you can clearly see into the kitchen when you order and pay), and most of the patrons, appeared to be Mexican. Further, the menu is written in Spanish (with some basic English interpretations), and the ordering process was rendered a bit awkward with the language barrier. We were after tacos, and El Paisano delivered. Their tacos were very basic - just meat filling cradled into soft, double corn tortillas that had a nice griddle top crispness, topped with a tablespoon of fresh cilantro and served w fresh lime wedges and semi-hard radish slices. No frills. There were eight meat choices, we tried 5. They were all SOLID. We agreed that the carnitas were the best. Apparently it is BYOB, all other drinks are bottled that you pull from a big cooler. We chose Mexican mango pop. Everything about the place was informal and lacking of many common Gringo conventions. If you like that vibe, then you'll probably like this joint. We sure did. I will go back and try some of the other dishes. They all looked pretty good.
We moved here from Dallas a little over a year ago and I have been trying to find authentic tacos since we got here. I am so glad we found this place that is a reasonably short drive. The tacos didn't disappoint and the flautas are amazing! I can wait to go back and try some other plates. This will be a regular pit stop for us. Tasted like home!
Incredible food, service, and pricing...almost want to move back to Beechview!
Cash only but really good authentic dishes.
