Cuzamil is a new Mexican restaurant that took over the space previously occupied by the incredibly authentic Mi Mexico in Squirrel Hill. Like Mi Mexico, it’s main draws are that it isn’t awful, and it is the only Mexican restaurant within walking distance to Squirrel Hill residents. Mi Mexico died perhaps because it was too authentic for traditional Tex Mex eating populations. Cuzamil is more of the chimichanga and enchilada type of Mexican, without a single tongue on the menu, so it may fare better simply due to the milder menu. But, the real reason Cuzamil might succeed is because they have a liquor license. We all know that a margarita goes a long way on a hot Pittsburgh summer day, and a boring taco will probably find its way into your belly along the way. (more…)
