Azul Bar Y Cantina

So far, this is the best "elevated" Mexican fare that I've had in the 'Burgh! By elevated, I mean ingredients beyond pork, chicken, beef, steak, and veggies and not a hole in the wall or a truck.

Don't get me wrong, I love me an awesome hole in the wall Mexican place; The kind you go into and aren't 100% sure you understand what the ingredients are in that enchilada, but you know it will be awesome no matter what! Or that cool taco truck you chase all around town, trying to figure out their hours...

Well, this place is not that! It's a just a great restaurant with a great atmosphere and, when I've gone, great service!

Try the chile rellenos - Best Ever!!! Their steak nachos are also to die for, with big chunks of steak and pickled jalapenos and carrots. The pinto beans are made with pork fat, and they are delicious! And, I really love their sangria... maybe too much. It's in the middle of nowhere, so keep that in mind when you order your second glass. Of course, there are worse places to be stuck than a restaurant that serves Awesome pork belly tacos!!!

Our local favorite for mexican food. It is deliciously authentic and this is one of only a few places I'll get a margarita (talking the classic cocktail recipe) because they make it properly. Good atmosphere and good service. The worst thing about this place is not being able to choose what want at each visit because I want it all.

Classy yet casual... And the food was scrumptious. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the Mexican beers and food. Enjoyable night out.
