Reviews for Bull River Taco Co. in Pittsburgh, PA
The food is good, but we don?t go here anymore since new management raised the prices. An extra dollar per taco really adds up... and it?s unfortunate because taco ingredients are not expensive. Seems like a greedy move ? definitely a bummer. Read more
First things first, I love the flavors here! I have never ever had anything that didn?t taste great! I am always given great... portions, and one time when they were out of an item, they kindly offered me substitutes that were worth more than what Ioriginally wanted, and free drinks. I?ll never stop coming here ?BUT ? the customer service needs a redo. They guys are alwaysfriendly to me, but most times it?s like high school/college buddies that are cutting up and not realizing how unprofessional itlooks. One time one of the guys took the ear buds of the other, and they were being silly, and then the second guy took his earbuds back and rubbed off the wax and put them in his pocket ?while wearing gloves, which he didn?t change before using his handsto flip a tortilla. I called him out and he was apologetic, changed his gloves and threw away the tortilla, but what if Ihadn?t? Come on guys! - Bull River has a good thing here! Don?t ruin it! UPDATE 8/24/22 - I was invited back to try Bull Riveragain under the new management. As I mentioned before, taste was never the issue and my meal was delicious as usual (see pics).But this time they added what was missing before - professionalism! Quality customer service! There is nothing wrong with havingfun on the job, but a customer still needs to feel dignified and appreciated, in addition to tasty food prepared well. Thanksfor the changes and the invite!! Bull River is BACK!!!!!! ???? Read more

New management and staff is absolutely wonderful!!! Same menu so it was a very easy transition, servers took great detailed care... of my large order to fulfill my needs and wants. Very professional, almost no wait, oh! And food was delicious of course!!! Read more
First I would like to say thank you to the new owners for inviting me back and showing me and my friend kindness! As you can see... by pervious reviews some people were turned off by a unfriendly employee which I'm glad to say is no longer here. So if you wereone of the ones thinking of not returning let me tell you guys give this place another chance! Walking in we can already tellthe vibes was different. We were greeted instantly, took our orders and they both handed our food out fast. The food was greatand way better than last time I had the Chicken Tacos while my friend had Beef. We will Definitely be returning here. If youwant really good Tacos in Squrill Hill Bull Rivers is the way to go ???? ???? ???? Read more
Decided to try Bull River again under new ownership (I'd only tried the place randomly during a night market a few months ago... and was underwhelmed by the vegetarian options - which may have been the staff just not knowing or caring about how theyexplained them). Today I got the veggie tacos with the vegan sauce and my partner got the vegetable taco salad. The staff wereknowledgeable about the vegetarian/vegan options and management was supporting them when they had questions (always nice tosee!). Both meals came out quickly and were delicious! The cilantro tasted like I had just picked it from my garden and thevegan sauce was robust. I also want to speak to the customer service - I'd only had one experience under previous ownership andit was neither here nor there, but the staff working today were welcoming, warm, and clearly cared. I think it's definitelyworth giving them another shot under new management! Read more
This is a little hole in the wall place with good tacos and nachos. Nothing to ride home about, but definitely nothing to run... away from. Very limited indoor seating, probably best for takeout... Definitely a favorite with high school students when i wasthere. Read more
I never had issues with the past owners or customer service. The food was good and the portions were a great value for the... price. I would stop in at least once a week for lunch. The value just hasn't been the same since the new owners took over. Theprices went up and the portions have gotten much smaller. As a result I've been eating here less often. Today's visit was justdisappointing and a much needed wake up call. I paid $11 for large pork nachos that had barely any meat and $5 for a containerof beans wasn't even half full. The prices don't justify what is being offered and this neighborhood has a ton of otherrestaurants that are offering a much better value. This will be my last visit to Bull River. Read more
