El Burro restaurant delays reopening in North Side as permitting proceeds

PITTSBURGH — Fans of Mexican-American cuisine will need to wait a bit longer to dig in at El Burro in Pittsburgh’s North Side.

The restaurant’s Federal Street location was slated to reopen Friday, almost two years after a devastating fire forced it to close in 2023.

The spokesperson says a new opening date will be announced later.
