DELICIOUS!!

May 2022 • none

We had the fish tacos and they were literally the BEST fish tacos I have ever had and I order them all over during my travels. These were unique. There was a slightly sweet coleslaw and salsa with corn on top and the fish batter itself was yummy. I am already craving more. Service was fast. You must try this place and get the fish tacos. Next time, I can't wait to try more options.

Amazing Flavors

Sep 2020 • none

Mouthwatering Deliciousness! We were fortunate enough to try Yallah Taco both times they did a Kitchen Takeover at Shy Bear Brewing and were impressed with the layers of flavor, portion size, and quality of ingredients. Both visits we started off with their loaded nachos with chicken, piled high with toppings and their delicious Yallah sauce! Very filling! We’ve sampled 4 of their tacos with the beef, cauliflower, and grilled shrimp being very good, but the highlight was the fish tacos! These were absolutely delicious and one of the few fish tacos I’ve come across on the east coast that actually live up to the standards of the famed places on the west coast. Everything about these fish tacos was spot on from the tortilla, to the perfectly seasoned/cooked fish, to the toppings! A must have for any fish taco lover. I am anxiously looking forward to trying their new established on College Ave and sampling some of their other dishes! We wouldn’t think twice driving the 40 minutes to SC to eat at Yallah! Highly recommend!

Delicious Bowl

Jul 2024 • solo

Great spot to grab lunch. I went two weeks ago for a bowl and was already back today for another. Bowl is good sized, delicious, and affordable. I will definitely be back soon.

Don't bother

Feb 2023 • solo

I ordered a little of everything from this restaurant because I had heard good things. $65 that became $90 for GrubHub. Everything was cold, which I know isn't the restaurant's fault...but the food, I feel, wouldn't have even tasted good warm. The fries were incredibly bland, and tasted like someone dumped pepper unevenly on them. The quesadilla didn't even equal a whole one - maybe half a large burrito shell. The Cali burrito was 97% French fries and a few pieces of steak. Picture attached for reference. Absolutely everything was bland. The best part of this meal was the drink, and maybe the salsa, which was just a small dipping cup of diced tomatoes and a few sprigs of cilantro. The taquitos would have been good without being smothered in queso, which made the taquito soggy and disintegrate in the container. I'll never order from here again. Save your money and go to The Plaza on Atherton. Much better quality, and more authentic, Mexican cuisine. This place is a joke. I'm angry that I wasted the money.

Okay if you’re a college kid I guess?

Apr 2023 • family

Only rating it average because my Penn State student loves it. I, on the other hand, don’t like it at all. I got a burrito because it was burrito day and it was seriously so bland. It had no traditional Mexican flavor to it. I ended up breaking it open and just eating the rice because I really only liked the rice, the chicken was super gritty too. Their salsa was also very watery and was just basically chunks of tomatoes with not much flavor in it. The chips all alone were pretty good though. Definitely a favorite of the local college students, but not a place I would want to go back to.

Great Late Night Tacos

Nov 2019 • friends

Great late night food and cheap prices, they have a 3 taco deal for $8 and other types of burritos. There’s outdoor seating and a parking garage nearb ad well.

Huge meal

Aug 2018 • family

My son told me about this place and I decided to give it a try. I thought he was exaggerating when he told me about this place. Boy, was I surprised and very pleased. Huge servings at a very reasonable price. Friendly service. Clean interior and restrooms. Nearby pay parking. Will definitely return. Had the shrimp and chicken burritos, both superb.

Summer hours were the trick

Aug 2018 • family

It wasn't that late on a Saturday night, still about 8:00 PM, but Halal was out of falafel, Penn Kabob, Pita Cabana, and Underground Burger were already closed.I secretly wanted Mexican, but everyone else wanted lamb or falafel. We called Yallah Taco and they said they were closing in 20 minutes. We placed our order, and they must not have been kidding. The portions were huge, like it was easier to fill the tacos and burritos to bursting, than put the food away. The food there is always good if you know what to order, but my wife was still eating her burrito 2 days later.

Who Would've Thunk - WOW!

Nov 2017 • couples

Was told about how great Yallah Tacos were but couldn't believe it, until I actually tried one. All are good, but the seafood tacos are my favorite. Wish there was a Yallah on North Atherton...absolutely fantastic!

Great value fresh food

I enjoy stopping for the fish taco and have also tried the burritos. Servings ate very large and have tons of flavor.But you better be hungry cause the food is large portions.

Cheap, yummy food

Jul 2017 • solo

This place often has a line when PSU is in full session. Since college kids don't have a lot of $ usually, any place that has a line as long as this place does typically means its good eats for a little $. I decided to give it a try. I've had their tacos twice now and really liked them. The shrimp ones are better than the steak, IMO, but I like that they are all one price regardless of whether you get shrimp, beef, chicken, etc. The portions are good and the food was very tasty. Since I went in the summer, there was no line, but be prepared to wait when most of the students come back in August.

GODZILLA BURRITO

Feb 2017 • solo

A hefty burrito, filled with chicken fries and cheese, great food, well made, and definitely satisfying, will be coming here more often.

Walk up taco stand

Dec 2016 • solo

This is where the old Pita Pit used to be. It's a walk up type of place. They have 2 things, tacos and burritos. I had the beef burrito and it was very good. They don't use ground beef, it's basically roasted beef pulled apart and very tasty. For $5 you get a really good sized one. They have several choices for each including beef, chicken, and fish.
