Drink review only. After walking around the Marina my friends and I were thirsty so we came here. Also, if you're eating here they have a cool sparkling or non sparkling water on tap. Horchata: 4/5 not too sweet, but a bit too watery Agua de Jamaica: 4/5 a but too sweet Watermelon: 3/5 not sweet enough Would definitely come back to try their food in the future. Quick service, clean restaurant. read more

Tacko - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Pretty good Mexican food for SF + being a chain from Nantucket! The staff was so friendly and on top of everything!! The interior is cool with a bunch of things to discover. We ordered the Mexican street style carne asada (steak) tacos, horchata, fries, and chips and salaa (pico de gallo). The taco had a BUNCH of meat. The steak was very tender but still had a good char. The salsa was bland in taste in my opinion (I prefer spicy) but had very fresh and juicy tomatoes. I still enjoyed it. The chips are made in house and super crispy. The horchata was refreshing, you get a huge glass if you order the large. The French fries tastes like curly fries. There are hot sauces and salsas galore. Each table has two sauces which are mild in spice level. Cholula sauce is there as well, along with "real salt." There is a wall of hot sauces if you want it spicier. Water is next to the hot sauce wall. The machine also dispenses sparking water. Awesome place, will be back! read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat late at night. Decent amount of seating. Good service. Clean restaurant. Food was good but not knock your socks off. The burrito we got was a little dry but to be fair we ordered the chicken so maybe just ordered the wrong meat. The elote was fantastic! read more

Generous portions, but not worth the quality. The service is good, and the margarita pitcher is definitely the best value on the menu.

This is the best taco in SF. Definitely get your taco "nicks way", which is fully loaded with guacamole and a crispy shell. We always do the carne asada tacos. For better or worse, we haven't tried any other items on the menu, because the tacos are just perfect. Horchata tasted a bit watered down. Ambiance of the place is great. You order first and grab a seat with a number read more

Decent burrito with expectation that it is not authentic, good for a quick stop if in the area. The carne asada was actually flavorful and cooked well - good quality and not fatty at all. I actually enjoyed the whole wheat tortilla. Overall very clean tasting and not oily or heavy! read more

Horrible experience. Staff were extremely rude. One staff in particular refused to hand me my order and told me to come around to get it if I wanted my order when it was in his hand and I was standing right next to him. He also refused to give me his name. Horrible experience. read more

I've frequent this Taquería often when I'm in the marina and it's always a pleasant experience. Fernando and staff are welcoming and attentive - the food is delicious too!! Not to mention, it's well priced and miles ahead of the competition. My favorite "dish" is the chicken supper burrito - bang for buck!! read more

Wow. They did not skimp out on their meat at all. I ordered the taco salad with steak and it came with a raspberry vinaigrette. I was worried that maybe there wouldn't be enough sauce, but the juices that came from the meat coupled with the tangyness of the dressing was delicious. The guacamole was also a good touch! read more

Salsa on the tables have some good flavor. Ordered a SF Carne Asada Burrito and discovered slices of unmelted slices of cheese inside. Cant say Im impressed with my choice this day. The baja fish taco nicks way is the way to go. One of the bigger, cleaner taquerias around. read more

I saw people on TikTok ordering Tacko's salad for lunch so I decided to give them a try. I also added steak with it for some protein. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary since it's "just a salad," but I was completely wrong! It was so good, especially with the steak, which was perfectly charred and full of flavor. I'm not sure how they make their pink sauce, but it pairs with the salad so well and tastes amazing. I'll definitely be back for more salads and hope to try other items on the menu soon! read more

I'd call this an elevated Mexican diner experience, with absolutely elevated prices too! It probably doesn't happen too often that you'll pay more than $10 for a single taco but here we are. The grilled fish taco however was extremely tasty, and the homemade green salsa was probably the best salsa I have tasted in a while (you can purchase it separately at the counter). 4 stars for the quality of the food, the nice staff, and the modern interior. Will be back to try more! read more

10/10 highly recommend! My besties have dined at Tacko before and decided when we visited the City again, that would be the lunch venue. Nestle in a cute section of town, Tacko was bustling with people and per usual when visiting a restaurant for the first time, I surveyed tables as I decided what to order. Too many great sounding choices so I went with a chorizo quesadilla with guac and sour cram. My eyes about popped out of my head when my lunch arrived...the quesadilla was nearly as this as a burrito! Not sure how they make the tortilla but the texture was lovely...with a light char. Greasy, delicious chorizo..ohhs and ahs with every bite. Chips guac and salsa are a MUST. The lovely trio was so delicious I could literally be happy with just that. The frescas? OMG! I ordered half lime and half mango and was in heaven! Not heavy laden with sugar to the point that's all you taste (sadly common with many frescas) but the perfect balance that allowed the sweetness of the fruit to shine through. Kyle took our order, he was patient, answered questions and made recommendations for those in our party who were indecisive. We also met Eddie who was friendly and kind. Back in the City in a couple weeks and I told the Besties a stop at Tacko is an absolute must! read more

The food I had delivered to my address from this place was so good. The carneasada quesadilla was super delicious. I highly suggest people try this place out if they are looking for good quality food for lunch. The ambience of the place and the overall service of this place is excellent from what I read. I give them 5 stars . I may order from there again sometime soon. read more

For Veggie Burrito only: Really weird type of veggie burrito. They don't use shredded cheese, they use some type of sliced cheese and put it in there as a whole. They also don't have black beans, only pinto. Wouldn't recommend for vegetarian. Probably won't return here again. read more

Honestly not the best Mexican place out there. I think I've always had a feeling that it would be very mediocre, and my gut feeling was right, unfortunately. This is a very solid 3-star place, nothing great, nothing horrible, nothing worth going back for. I got the Baja fish taco, grilled fish taco, and the grilled shrimp taco, all regular (as opposed to Nick's way). They were generally okay, but nothing special. I think it was missing a slice of lime to be squeezed on top, or something...not sure exactly what. My husband got the meat tacos, one carne asada, one carnitas, which he thought were just average too. He described the meat quality as not being so great. However, we did order a little carne asada meat taco for our daughter and that one did taste better. The chips and salsa were solid though, did enjoy the pico de gallo. It was also very convenient ordering online, and the food did come before it was predicted in the order! Overall, just very average Mexican food, and I won't return, but nothing horrible. read more

No hate intended but it's just mid. Basically providing convenience for a neighborhood demo jonesing Americanized Mex. For me nothing to get worked up about. read more

The meats here, especially the carne, is so good. Only critique is the burrito tortillas are whole grain which is a little weird.

I love coming to Tacko to get a burrito. Their portions are always generous, and the flavor of the meat and the salsas are so good. I like the 2 salsas they keep on every table as well as the habanero salsa they have (get this by the register). I usually get a carne asada Mexican burrito that comes with pico and beans inside. The burrito is always delicious and filling! Service has always been fast here too. read more

I love coming here for a quick dinner. I must admit they have one of my all time favorite steak quesadillas, they load it with pico, and sour cream and fry the whole thing after they put it all together. You must get this when you come here. Don't forget to pair it with the guacamole that comes on a bowl of chips. read more

Street Tacos: Good for a small meal Great place to grab a quick bite and also lovely place to hang out with friends. read more

Came here on a Monday and it was pretty dead. I got a nicks way carne asada taco and the chips and salsa. Service was okay which I had expected. Once I ordered, I looked at my receipt and saw that they charged me 4% for the San Francisco Health Mandate even though that charge was supposed to be abolished earlier this month so I wasn't very happy about that. The carne asada taco was tasty as it was packed with guac and salsa but there wasn't a lot of meat in the actual taco which was kind of disappointing. The chips and salsa were good and I liked the amount of salsa on the chips. However, when I got to the bottom of the basket the chips were soggy and wet so they weren't very tasty. Overall I would rate this place a 4/5 as it's one of my favorite Mexican spots in SF I just don't like how I was charged the 4% health mandate on my bill without my knowledge. read more

This was my first time here and I was very impressed. The restaurant was bright, spacious and very clean. This is an order at the counter type of place and adult refreshments consists of beer and wine. I had a chicken and carnitas Nick's taco. These tacos are huge, and basically is a complete meal! The portions are very generous, a huge glob of guacamole and so much meat. The cashier recommended I get two tacos but one would have been more than enough. If in the Marina, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Was in the area on a Tuesday night, decided to stop by for Taco Tuesdays for a quick bite. Only ordered street tacos and chips & salsa. -Tacos are solid. Love being able to squirt unlimited sauces each bite. -Chips & Salsa was cool for the first 7 minutes. Huge basket of chips; however, the salsa was watery, all the chips underneath became soggy. Either you kill or share the chips quickly or see if you are able to get salsa on the side. Restaurant is spacious, lots of table and bar seating. Warm and inviting interior decoration. Will try the burritos and elote next visit. read more

Tasty Californian Mexican food option with good vibes and pretty quick counter service (about 15 min with some people in line before me). Ordered the Nick's Way taco - which is a crispy taco with cheese wrapped in a second soft tortilla and this was delicious!! Crunchy bites with cheese pulls and carne asada was tender. Probably need 2-3 tacos as a whole meal vs an $8 snack Burrito is more hefty at about $14 and also tastes good. Recommend this for something filling! The available squeeze bottles of red and green salsas here are light in flavor. No spice options salsa at all was disappointing. Horchata was refreshing here. It's filtered or well mixed so there were not chunks or sediment. Has stronger cinnamon flavor than I'm used to though. Lots of table seating indoors and outside patio and great playlist for music (pop and upbeat electronic). Staff was attentive clearing tables as people were leaving. read more

Was in the Marina for an event so decided to swing by Tacko for an early dinner around 5:30 pm. We ordered at the counter and are given a number to place at the table for someone to bring out the food. Ordered a chorizo burrito bowl, nick's way taco with chicken, and a side of french fries. Food was out within 10-15 minutes. There's plenty of seating available both inside and outside the restaurant. Burrito bowl was a 3/5, flavor was fine but texture and consistency were just bad. After mixing everything in, the bowl just looked like a dip / stew. Chicken taco was a 2/5, size is decent (for a $8 taco) but the chicken was lacking flavor. Literally just dumped the taco into the burrito bowl for it to soak in some flavor. French fries were a 5/5, favorite part of the meal. The fries were super crispy and kind of reminded me of the taste of curly fries, iykyk. Overall just a mediocre experience, but wouldn't be opposed to coming here again. read more

OK food but extremely poor service. I ordered a small order to go, gave cashier my name per her request, tipped them, and waited for about 20 minutes while people who arrived after me received their orders. I walked up to the cashier and questioned her about my order only to discover it was sitting there at the front the entire time. I informed her that no one called my name and she didn't even apologize. Got home minutes later and ate cold food. This place has just lost my business, particularly since one can find much better food and service elsewhere. read more

The decor is East Coast/Nantucket/Hampton vibes, super cute interior with lots of seating. The staff if friendly and food is ready quickly. The prices are good.

I've been to tacko multiple times now and overall it's pretty reliable. Recently, I ordered take out and had their chorizo San Francisco burrito - which can easily be split or made into 2 meals!

What can I say except 'YUMMM'! The food was absolutely delicious. We started with their margaritas, which were refreshing and perfectly balanced. As for the food, the street tacos and burrito were bursting with flavor, and the salad was fresh and vibrant. The fish tacos were especially good, with a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful fish inside. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the carne asada quesadilla. It was perfectly cooked, with a generous amount of savory carne asada and gooey cheese. The quesadilla alone is worth the visit! We appreciated the option to sit either indoors or outdoors. The outdoor seating area was pleasant and well-maintained, perfect for enjoying a meal on a nice day. Also, the servers were fantastic!! Definitely coming back. read more

A great neighborhood Mexican place, Cow Hollow is always fun to hang out in. I usually get the tacos and the big sized spicy jalapeno margarita. The margaritas come in 12oz, 24oz, and pitchers which is a good idea if with a group of friends. The tacos are expensive, but they are probably the best tacos I've ever had with a generous helping of guacamole and a hard shell wrapped by a soft tortilla. read more
