    Carne asada burrito
    Caly T.

    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!

    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!

    CHIPS, SALSA & GUACAMOLE

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Baja and grilled fish tacos

    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.

    Carne Asada MEXICAN BURRITO
    Pascale S.

    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.

    New England Chesapeake vibe meets solid wholesome quality Mexican food .They are known for the fish tacos as well as using quality ingredients. Both choices were solid eats and the food just as good as my previous visit several years ago.

    Solid california burrito, fremch fries in a burrito never diasppoints. The sitting area was also really nice and peaceful

    BURRITO BOWL
    John C.

    Service is always good. Definitely probably overpriced but you are also getting Mexican food in the Marina. Not a date spot, more like a quick lunch with a bro. Picture is burrito bowl carne asada and shrimp. Good stuff

A few people were already in there eating, and we know this place is good, as a few others in our group and I have been here multiple times. The Taqueria is typical of any other, with bench-style chairs for folks to sit on, a water station, and workers cooking it up in the kitchen. I wasn't too hungry, so I grabbed a Super Lengua Taco, while my friends grabbed burritos, we ended up grabbing 3 complimentary chips and guac/salsa with our order and the food came out pretty quickly. When I saw my Taco I forgot how much they stuffed it and wow, two of these would've filled me up just like a taco; there was so much Lengua that it kept falling off after every bite. The flavors all came together and I scruffed down the whole thing after about 6+ bites! Definitely a place to come to if you're looking for a full meal, or something to snack on!

My son had the crunchy red burrito ($15.75) with chorizo, crispy cheese, sour cream, pinto beans, guacamole and pico de gallo with a horchata to drink. On a Saturday night in the Castro, this corner of 16th and Market is already poppin' with area bars so while they'll rush out with your order curbside, my son dashed in for speed. Super friendly service, cute cafe tables for dine-in, Tacos El Tucan is now on the dining circuit. Love this spot and it's close by, too. Open very late on Saturday night 'til 2am if you're partying and craving drunchies.

I have tried a plethora Mexican food places as I enjoy it the most and this has by far let me down the most. Although it is super packed and has a lot of business I suspect it used to be amazing and build a reputable name, then finished quality over time and continue to receive customers due to their past performance. The ambiance makes you think that this place offers amazing food considering the amount of people but when you try the food you will truly understand Super Burrito Carne Asada - 3/10 Regular Burrito Cabeza - 5/10 Burritos are extremely small, very oily and have barely any meat inside. Sauces are mid and they are very stingy as well, the won't provide extra sauces even if you ask nicely. Everything just tasted...bad; if you read this hopefully I can save you some money. Any other mexican food spot would be a better selection. Overall rating 2/5.
