Tienda Mexicana El Pastorcito — Local services in Monroeville

I recently stopped by this incredible Mexican food truck, and I’m already planning my next visit! Located right outside a charming little store, this place serves up some of the best tacos I’ve had in a long time.

I tried the carne asada (marinated steak), carnitas (braised pork), and chorizo (spicy pork sausage) tacos. Each taco was generously packed on a 4-inch tortilla, making them hearty and satisfying. The flavors were bold and authentic, with the carne asada perfectly seasoned, the carnitas juicy and tender, and the chorizo packing just the right amount of heat.

What makes the experience even better is that all the condiments are available inside the store next door. You can load up your tacos with fresh onions, cilantro, pineapple, and a selection of salsas ranging from mild to fiery hot, making it easy to customize your meal to your exact taste.

The store itself is worth a visit too, offering fresh produce, canned goods, a huge variety of hot sauces, and unique snacks you won’t find just anywhere. It’s a true hidden gem that’s not only a fantastic spot for lunch but also a fun place to shop for authentic Mexican ingredients.

If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic Mexican food, this food truck is a must-try. You won’t be...

I was thought mexican food in Pittsburgh could only come with nacho cheese and French fries...

My wife and I are very happy we found Tienda Mexicana.

The store has a wide variety of dried chiles, that we previously had to order online when cooking our favorite mexican dishes. It also has our favorite snacks (Chicharrones, Chamonix covered candies, and Boletas).

The food truck outside the tienda has fresh and authentic food. We ordered the Tacos( Al Pastor, chicken, and carnitas), Huaraches (Carne Asada), and a Burrito.

I can't wait to tell everyone I know about this place. We will...

What a gem! The store is stocked well with Mexican ingredients from the fresh to the canned to the dried. I was amazed to find excellent refrigerated mole poblano as well as fresh, green chiltepin peppers. Never seen them for sale in Pittsburgh.

The food truck on premises is excellent and quick. Their al pastor is stunning. The salsa bar inside the store is well stocked and refrigerated.

The lady working the register could not have been more helpful and kind.

Please patronize...
