text: Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh including Steel Cactus have no business charging people for chips and salsa it is the only place I have ever been where that happens and it is riddamndiculous steps off SoapboxnnI do not hate Steel Cactus I would totally go here for happy hour or dinner mostly because I am a Mexican food fanatic and could eat it pretty much every day it is a convenient location for me and sometimes one just needs a taco immediately If it were not convenient it is unlikely I would go seeking this place out nnThe best parts the rooftop patio and happy hour drink specials Kudos for that Steel Cactus nnThe leastgood parts the food is in general bland and unexciting While the price point is not bad for most entrees they could use a happy hour food special or two My personal preference is for more authentic cheaper Mexican food like Emilianos on the South Side
