About
Three gringos and an 8-legged culinary muse, who goes by the street name täkō, have brought the so-cal surf vibe to the Steel City with south of the border force and fierce margaritas.
Pittsburghers are reporting getting knocked on their asses on the not-so-sandy shores of the Cultural District, consistently citing killer handmade tacos of an Asian persuasion and deliciously dizzying Yellow Jackets as the cause. An onlooker waiting for his turn to ride the wave was recently quoted as saying, “The raw fish, the raw sounds (by house DJs) and the raw bohemian vibe are worth any wait.” The arrival of täkō in Pittsburgh signals a new high point in the changing tides of the local restaurant scene.
