  Disclaimer: This is only a review for takeout, however if your food tastes amazing after being wrapped up and transported for nearly half an hour, I'd say that speaks volumes about its quality.
  
  I get burritos delivered to my office from Los Cabos via UberEats. They're large (Chipotle sized but not like this has anything else in common with Chipotle!) so one typically feeds me lunch for two days. There's always a side of salsa included, which is a nice touch coming from this Californian. The bottom half is wrapped in foil for a contained eating experience, and the tortilla is large enough to amply hold all the filling without coming unfolded on either end. The tortilla is also thick and stretchy enough to not break when filled.
  
  Standard burritos come with guacamole, pico, and your choice of meat. You can add on a wide variety of toppings, however I usually keep it simple and only add beans or hot sauce. There's also a California style burrito stuffed with fries, sour cream, and cheese in addition to meat. Few places around here serve this San Diego staple, so I appreciate seeing it here. I wish there were a few more shredded meat or spicy options, but for the price and overall quality I'm a fan. I'll definitely stop in and try their other menu items if I'm ever in the area.

  We came in because the menu confused me online. The Pittsburgh meets Mexican was very strange to me so I needed to see for myself. For example, fries in certain burritos?! The spot is BYOB and there are a few tables outside if you want to people watch on Penn Ave. It was hot so we opted for an indoor seat. You order at the counter and take your seat.
  
  I got the shrimp burrito (no special sauce as it's sour cream based) and Hubs got the chicken enchilada. We sat down and noticed each table had Heniz ketchup, but not all tables had hot sauce. Yes, Pittsburgh meets Mexican.
  
  We are given chips and salsa and warned the chips were hot. Definitely made fresh, so nice touch. I enjoyed the salsa as it had a good hint of spice. Our food arrives within a reasonable timeframe. The burrito was very much there, no tin foil, making me wonder how to eat it. Bite in and find good garlic flavor with the shrimp. There's nothing more than shrimp and rice. No lettuce or tomato dices. I should have read the menu more clearly as all is as described. Don't assume. There was a lot of shrimp and each bite included a taste of shrimp, so positive. On the chicken enchilada, Hubs thought it was average. The flavors were good, but a generic sense overall.
  
  It's a good neighborhood spot and the service is great. Definitely not an authentic place and the blend with the city's food culture isn't for me. I'll probably be back as the occasion warrants as the service is friendly and food is average.

  The menu is pretty close to one you'd find in a Southern California Mexican restaurant. The chips and salsa and tacos were good, but overall the food was a bit bland. I wouldn't mind eating here again, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.
  
  It's really cool that they're BYOB! Paid and non-paid street parking available.

  I frequently hear there's no "good" Mexican in Pittsburgh, & this experience confirms that notion.  I ordered delivery to my hotel, service was prompt & correct, 5 stars in that aspect.  I had the Carnitas with refried beans and Mexican rice, chips & queso, and the churros.  Carnitas was decent, the beans were ok, rice was terrible, overcooked & flavorless, soft crumbles.  The churro was pretty good, but the super star here is the queso!  It was the best queso I have ever tasted, made with real cheeses, creamy, and spicy!  I will go back just for the chips & queso!

  Do you crave a lot of delicious Mexican food for not a lot of pesos? Would you cry if someone accidently threw away your left-over 1/2 of a chicken chimichanga from the work refrigerator? Then Los Cabos is the place for you. Just steps from Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, this little eatery has an extensive menu from which to order at the counter. Then staff bring the food to your table. Who wants salsa with the tasty gooeyness of their queso? So many good options here: the quesadillas, the enchiladas, and of course the aforementioned chimichangas. There are the standard fountain drinks, but I opt for soda in a glass bottle every time (this time I chose lime). Single-sex washrooms.
