Reviews for Steel Cactus Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Pittsburgh, PA

The service here is always hit/miss, but today it was especially bad. I walked up and waiting for someone to appear at the... counter (this happens about half of the time - today's wait before someone appeared was a few minutes). They asked what I wanted(a quesadilla), and proceeded to put chicken on it. I asked "is that chicken?" "You said you wanted chicken?" "I didn't say, butthat's fine..." I then asked "can I get black beans?" "No, because it spills out onto the press." "Okay..." And then the personproceeded to throw the food away, angrily walk to the back, and do other things. The line of people who were waiting all walkedaway... Good luck dining here! Read more

The rice bowl was pretty good. Good variety. They really need to add an ice water or cup of ice as a drink option. No reason not... to accommodate. Read more

On par with Moe's. About as good as you're ever going to get in an airport, but that ain't saying much. Friendly staff. Cajun... spice mix is doing most of the work, though. Read more

Very tasty. I ordered a quesadilla and my husband got tacos. The man working there made them lovingly, as if he were making them... for himself. Each piece of pork was carefully selected for size and nestled tenderly into each taco. Some lettuce had gotteninto the cheese he sprinkled on my quesadilla, and he painstakingly picked each stray piece out. He toasted the quesadilla tojust the perfect level of golden brown, checking on it several times to ensure the right doneness. The meat was flavored withinteresting and delicious spices. Plus, there was no line, while mobs of people were waiting at the chain fast food places.Would recommend. Read more

I work at menzies at this airport, every time i come to the counter noones there or theyre on their phone behind the wall, today... i came and looked at the menu and waited patiently fir the worker to get off her phone, she didnt so i said excuse me. Shehuffed and rolled her eyes and asked what i would like i said breakfast burrito eggs and bacon she huffed again and got outaluminum foil. She ashed what i wanted again and i didnt fully hear her. She huffed again and repeated herself . I left its sadi work right downstairs and will never go there to ear again no matter how hungry i am you dont disrespect someone havingpatience with you and being respectful. I wont ever eat here again Read more

I ordered a quesadilla and barely any pico was on it, so I politely asked if the individual making it could add a bit more. She... told me, "no, I can put it in the side but not the inside". So I said "ok, it just doesn't look like a lot which is why I asked"(again, trying to be polite, I've worked in food service I get it). She then said "well there's 4 ounces in there so" reallyrudely. I took a picture below, does not look like 4 ounces at ALL. I just wanted another small grab full. I get rules, butbeing rude about it doesn't help anyone. And unless you're measuring it, which she wasn't, don't tell me it's exact. Annoyedespecially for the price...I get it's airport food but I'm not trying to pay extra for food that should already be on it... Read more

I ordered the chicken burrito bowl with chicken. I also added the avocado creme verde sauce. It tastes excellent! A healthier... option than some places. The young woman who waited on me was very friendly & helpful. I asked for her recommendation and I’mso glad I did! The portion is generous for the price of $8. I would definitely eat here again and at their other locations inthe area! Read more

One of the better options here if you have dietary restrictions. The flavors are good and it doesn't taste too salty. Can be... pretty healthy if you opt for the salad or naked bowl. The chicken is tender and juicy. Good drink selection, Naked and otherjuices. It is a bit pricey for how much food you get but not bad considering it is in the airport. Read more
