Las Velas on the marketplace is a great place to get some delicious Mexican dishes. The atmosphere is wonderful and there is a beautiful, commanding view of the place below as they are on the second floor. The bar has many different tequila, you will not be disappointed when a fan! Be careful on the way out. View all feedback.
What Carly Cardello (Carlay C) doesn't like about Las Velas Mexican:
My boyfriend and I got recommended to try this place because we wanted authentic Mexican food. And while it filled the criteria, it did miss a few points. While they could make any of the margaritas frozen, which we appreciated, the mango chipotle margaritadidn?t have much spice or much tequila. The raspberry Chipotle margarita was pretty good! My boyfriend got street tacos and theywere what we expected, very standar... View all feedback.
Really good food, great atmosphere and friendly wait staff.
Amazing Al Pastor tacos!!! Place was nice and our server was great. I'll be back!
Food was amazing. Drink was kinda alright. Bartender need to put more effort.. Margarita without salt on the rim
Be prepared to spend all your money here. Try ALL the margaritas!! The tacos, burritos, and enchiladas are all fantastic. It's a pretty spacious place too, so even on a crowded night we didn't wait to get a table.
We chose Las Velas based on an article that listed top restaurants in Pittsburgh. The restaurant has a warm atmosphere and we arrived shortly after 8:00 pm to a fairly full establishment. Our table of four was able to be seated immediately overlooking Market Square. No chips and salsa are complimentary. We ordered chips, guac and queso as well as a selection of cocktails. The mojtos were super sweet with sugar sitting in the bottom of the glasses after they were finished. The menu has lots of standard favorites. Soup, salads, tacos, burritos, enchiladas as well as many items cooked from family recipes. We ordered an assortment of dishes, including the Velada- a pineapple with shrimp, chicken, beef, fish onions and peppers all presented with a flambé experience table side. Each dish was delicious, a large portion and with the exception of the Velada included two sides. The service was not exceptional. Our water was never refilled. We asked for another basket of chips and the server took the first unfinished basket away never bringing a replacement. We were not asked for a refill of our drinks. It was good food but crumby service- a four star experience.
