Local Flavor

We love Verde and could not wait to try their brunch menu. We were incredibly late and very surprised to find the restaurant packed. We nabbed our usual back corner banquet seat and settled in for the fun! Owner Jeff gave a little welcome speech and was kind enough to offer a little Tequila 101 complete with…

Even though I arrived on the later side, Cindo de Brunch-​o was a ton of fun! The format was a bit different where we sat at tables (versus standing and mingling) and gave a chill atmosphere. The staff quickly brought us chips which were delightfully salty and awesome with the salsa — so good that we asked for…

Another shout out for Rachel! Great event and a brunch this time! Who doesn’t enjoy brunch? I started with the «spiked punch» aka the salty dog which was good stuff! What a great brunch cocktail… tequila and grapefruit juice I believe…No matter what I always ultimately judge a Mexican spot by the chips and…

Another Unilocal Elite Event, another amazing time! I don’t know how Rachel does it, time and time again (oh wait, yes I do, she does it because she rocks!)Verde is already one of my favorite new spots to pop up in the ‘Burgh, and the addition of a brunch menu made it even more tempting. Imagine how excited I…

Always a good time, how can a group of Unilocalies in a fun atmosphere not be a good time!!! I had been to Verde previously, but enjoyed sampling their brunch items as well as getting treated to some tequila based drinks. I had Verde’s version of the Salty Dog but with Tequila — it was delish. I didn’t do the…

FAB-​U-​LOSO!I have never been a fan of tequila, but folks, this most recent tremendous Elite event has opened my heart to that genre on spirits and I can’t wait to go back. Verde is by far one of the freshest and most vibrant establishments I have seen start-​up in the Pittsburgh area.My +1 and I arrived early…

I didn’t think my second Unilocal event would be as awesome as my first at Penn Brewery… but it was just as fantastic. Everyone we talked to was super friendly and we met some great people. The best part about the event was the tequila tasting, where Jeff, the owner, gave us a «Tequila 101» crash course. I do…

Cinco-​De-​Bruncho was reason ‘número uno’ that we went back twice since. The sweet potato hash and jalepeno french toast were too good. Love Verde!

I arrived to Verde very sleepy. I’m not a morning person let alone a brunch person. But Rachel’s smiling face usually perks you up whether or not you want it to or not.Peering around eyes half open I found my Elite buddies as well as a table off in the corner to share with my lady Date.Servers came around…

Walking up to the building I knew right away I was into for a treat. Green being my favorite color and all. Green to me represents what is fresh, and Verde is FRESH!To start we had chips and salsa, being from Pittsburgh I can admit I had never had salsa Verde, but now I’m a fan. Also I sampled tequila punch…
