Problem: YUMMMMMMY!!!! We came here before the KA show and I LOVED IT!!! I had the cucumber martini (super refreshing!) and the rib ravioli. OMG the ravioli was deliciousness!!! He had the gnocchi and it was just okay. Our server was attentive and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. We were in a bit of a rush so we literally just ate and ran. From the 45 minutes we were there, I thought the ambiance was pretty nice. It's a big open space and it was packed on a Thursday night. I will definitely be back if I am ever at MGM. Yummmmmy!

Problem: Never ate here before so dont have previous to compare to .. It was 'ok'. Service was good. Had reserves but didnt need them - Seated promptly on arrival - only 3 other tables occupied. Server took cocktail order .. was surprised no one brought us water. Then when server brought cocktails had water too. Breadsticks and 2 sauces - marinara and alfredo to dip. Breadsticks were warm - had salt/garlic pieces that stuck to fingers that would not wipe off easiy on napkin - required finger licking. Appetizer was their Antipasti Plate - Bruschetta, Zucchini Fritti, and Mozzarella Frita. Would not order again. Husband had Lasagna - he said it was good - "Olive Garden" type so nothing extraordinary. Based on a review I read, I ordered Lobster Canneloni - would not order again - very salty. Had decent flavor but only 2 discernable mini-pieces of lobster. Offered coffee, desert which we declined. The wait staff doesnt seem to realize how loud they are when they are 'behind the curtain' to the kitchen. We could hear everything. Also there seemed to be more staff than needed - there was not much activity during the hour we were there and when we left there were still only 3 other tables occupied. Received bill - jeez a vodka martini costs $11 each - they werent even Belvedere just house martini. Would not go back. Sorry

Problem: Veracruz makes an effort to distinguish itself from the standard big burrito or Tex Mex chains, and these efforts pay off. Chorizo, barbacoa, and al pastor double wrapped tacos are now on the menu, as well as other authentic Mexican dishes like chilaquiles and sopes. Authentic Mexican food is a rare find in Oakland (let alone Pittsburgh), so these tasty dishes make Veracruz worth a visit. If you're unfamiliar with the aforementioned foods, I suggest you dive in and try them regardless of your personal reservations. Otherwise, Veracruz is simply average in terms of Americanized Mexican fare, such as nachos, quesadillas, and burritos. I actually prefer nearby Chipotle or Qdoba for Ameri-Mex. On a positive note, anything with their earthy, smoky chicken chili is decent, their guacamole is fresh and light, and their homemade red chili and avocado salsas are zesty and tasty. Relatively cheap prices and a student discount is the icing on the cake (or the guac on the nachos, I guess). Service varies highly depending on who's taking your order.

Problem: We ordered online said it would take 30 mins for pick up. We left 30 mins later. When we got there the food took another 30 mins to be ready. We ordered godfather pizza which has olives and jalapenos not mentioned in description. We ordered double dough and got cracker tasting crust. Ordered half hot Half mild wings. Got all mild with no side of hot. I called and requested they refund for service and wrong order on the wings. Offered to remake the wings or 20 percent off next order. We spent $45 in this service and food. SUNSET PIZZA WAY BETTER.
