Let’s take a trip around the world. A food trip that is! This weekend is a foodie-lovers dream here in the ‘burgh and WESA’s Josh and Sarah and Yelp Pittsburgh’s Rachel are here to guide you through it.
Let’s start in Mexico!
There are a ton of fun places to grab your favorite taco, burrito or margarita. Mad Mex is delicious and its gobblerito is legendary. And no, you don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to get it. It returns Sept. 19.
Another place to check out is Las Palmas in Oakland -- it's a market that offers a sidewalk taco bar, made to order. You’ll see things there you never knew you wanted on your taco but when you do, it. is. just. right.
Doce Taqueria is a WESA staple since it is steps away from our studio. A plethora of $3 tacos and a delicious selection of Mexican sodas await you!
El Burro on Federal Street, offers the elusive California burrito (which has fries in it, just like Pittsburgh. Copy cats!)
Another option is El Campesino, which has daily and happy hour specials to pair along with your Mexican food.

Next up on our trip around the world- Italy!
Steel City Pizzafest is hitting the Strip District this Sunday. Check out music, vendors and vegetables. JUST KIDDING- PIZZA!
