Round Corner Cantina — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

Similar to other reviews- check out Yelp's too- I used to love to come here prior pandemic. I was stoked on checking out the new menu and am understanding that places change things up especially now. But, was completely underwhelmed. Hostess was a gem, margarita was fine, but man, how do you mess up chips and salsa? Would’ve totally just asked for a fresh batch to see if they could possibly be better? —if anyone bothered to check on us; it was 4ish on a Saturday with barely anyone there so, wasn’t even busy. After about 15 minutes the bartender finally came over and I just asked for the check, nothing more on the menu even seemed worth ordering, no one questioned why food wasn’t touched or even how everything was. There’s just so many other places to eat in the area with better service and food. -in response to owner, since Google doesn't allow a reply and there was no email left to contact management... my friend and I were seated out on the patio, right next to the bar. We didn't need a reservation at that day & time, so there's none to reference. That's great that you're receiving some nice responses from customers, I'm just relaying my bad experience at a place I used to enjoy. The constant reply of bringing up other customers' comments, good things you're trying to accomplish amongst staff and info about your hired chef totally negates & gaslights my experience while at your business. Maybe consider the feedback as constructive from the multiple reviews lower than 5 stars, and maybe work on how you respond...

The seating is currently limited due to the restrictions on restaurants but the outside patio set up was great! I would recommend a reservation because it may be hard to get a seat otherwise. We ordered the Queso Fundido con Chorizo as an appetizer and were pleasantly surprised with the amount of food there was. The chips are some of the best, fresh, homemade chips I have had in a long time. The queso was a perfect combination of cheese with a nice amount of chorizo and some cilantro for that extra freshness. The poblano in the queso did not make it unpalatable due to excessive heat. For the main course, we ordered Carne Asada and Shrimp Gobernado Street Tacos. The amount of food on two tacos was most satisfying and definitely enough for one person. The carne asada was amazing and their avocado salsa brings a nice freshness to the tacos with just a little heat from the salsa verde. The shrimp tacos had huge pieces of shrimp that were cooked perfectly and the pico was exceptional.

My wife ordered the Flamenco mixed drink and it was an excellent choice. It paired well with the Shrimp tacos.

The service was spectacular and our server was on the ball, making sure we had everything we needed. The alcoholic beverage was brought quickly to the table as well.

As far as price, it is pretty spot on for today's pricing standards. The average cost of an item ranges from $9-$15. I would definitely recommend trying Round Corner Cantina to quell your taco cravings. Five stars...

Used to love this place, but never going back. It's terrible now.

The menu has completely changed.

They used to have amazing queso fundido for a really good price. Now it's $9 for a cheddar cheese tasting mediocre dip with protein being FIVE DOLLARS to add on, for a pathetically meager amount. You'll see this be a pattern here.

They used to have burritos, and extremely good carne asada ones at that. What's in the burritos? Well, tortilla, the meat, and whatever vegetables and what not they decide to put in. These are the same ingredients they still use to make other dishes, terrible, overpriced ones at that.

Now they have """pollo asado""" tacos for the unbelievably low price of five dollars per tiny taco. It's laughable how expensive this is for something that taste like fancy feast cat food. Just go to condados for tacos and don't waste a penny at this place.

This is really disappointing, as they easily got hundreds of dollars of my service over the past few years. They're just a wannabe "minimalist menu" Mexican place now - that minimizes OpEx, raises prices, and all the while lazily removes items from their menu which they already have the ingredients for. It's pitiful, and covid losses isn't an excuse as they could have been open for take out longer during the pandemic. They'll never get my business again so long as they keep their scam...
