Tacko

The lunch I ordered from here was very good. The carneasada quasidilla I ordered from there really hit the spot. I loved every bite of my lunch from here. I highly recommend people stop by and have some lunch from this spot. I wonder why I didn’t know about this place sooner. I give them 5 stars ⭐️

San Diego burrito was filled with steak. Looked small but very filling. Big knock is the whole wheat tortilla, which gets soggy quickly and has an unpleasant grainy texture. Crispy fish and grilled fish tacos are really nice on their white corn tortillas and wrapped in a way that isn’t messy. Interesting northeastern coastal vibe. Expensive but nice.

Absolutely loved my experience here! Despite how busy it was, the wait time was surprisingly short, and the food came out fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and efficient, and everything was made with such care. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, making it the perfect spot for a great meal. The drinks are cheap. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Mexican food with minimal wait time!

Tacko is hands down the best taco place in San Francisco! Every time we visit SFO, it's the first stop we make. We literally take a Waymo straight there. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, with perfectly seasoned meats and toppings that are just right. The staff is incredible always friendly, fast, and welcoming. You can tell they care about creating a great experience. If you're in SF and craving tacos, Tacko is a must-visit!

It’s okay overall, the tacos are good, but not as good as any real Mexican taco shop in the city. The music from the kitchen is better than the dining area. It’s nice to have sparking water on tap! Kitchen was a bit slow around closing time. The tortillas are quality, the guy bussing tables is great 😊 I would give five stars if they at least had lingua or tripe as an option

Everything here is DIVINE!! Loved my carne asada burrito bowl - felt healthy and had so much steak!! The chips and guac were huge. The corn (elote) was heaven and took me back to when I lived in Mexico! The shrimp taco was also soooo good! Overall such a great place for a delicious bite! Loved!!

Food was delicious. Mexican Street Tacos (carne asada, carnitas and chorizo), quesadilla, Baja fish taco. I recommend all 3

Great neighborhood taco shop. Chips are crunchy. The guacamole is tasty. There red and green sauce both tasty too. They have a “supreme” taco called “Nicks Way” taco, it’s loaded with guacamole, cheese, crunchy shell. Very good. The burritos are also tasty, they use a good flour tortilla.

Another great visit to nicks tacos These were outstanding: Nicks ways tacos: Chicken Carnitas Carne asada Fish taco(regular)

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

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.

Consistency in quality service and cleanliness is what makes Tacko a great healthy fast food place. I have tried their tacos, burrito bowls and a few other things on the menu. Never disappointed. It's a good lunch spot if you are in the neighborhood, in a hurry but want something healthy.

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.

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.

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.

Things that I love: Tons of outdoor seating with heat lamps!!! Free sparkling water Excellent food Reasonable prices Food came out really fast Nick's Way Chicken Taco: Crispy, crunchy, delicious. Shredded chicken. I might want to try a different protein next time. Baja Fish Taco: Very big piece of well-battered and friend fish. Nice mayo sauce and shredded cabbage. Pretty tasty. Street Tacos: Good for a small meal Great place to grab a quick bite and also lovely place to hang out with friends.

Carne asada taco Nicks way. Reminds me if what tacos tasted like before everything go so expensive. One of the best tacos I have ever had. The cashier Julie and the kitchen staff were awesome. Anytime I am in the area. I am eating here.

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.

Tried this place last week, very clean and spacious restaurant, food was delicious. Had fried fish taco and a shrimp taco.

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.

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! I was also tempted to try their key lime pie which I feel like was expectedly ok. Overall feel very neutral about the food here.

chips were kinda thick and baja fish taco was quite dry, but the california burrito was pretty unique with the fries inside and definitely very substantial

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.

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.

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.

Delicious Mexican food in a fun and hip setting. The tortilla soup, street tacos, and burrito were all top notch. Loved the mango horchata! This will definitely be on my SF list of faves!

Friendly staff, delicious San Francisco burrito (comes with tasty chips and salsa), lots of space (a few booths, mostly barstool seating). Complimentary water plus TONS of hot sauce options by the checkout counter. One unisex bathroom in the back.

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.

Been here and gotten delivery from here over 5 times! The tacos(nicks way) and quesadillas are amazing but the burritos are not that great... Pros: tacos nicks way! Quesadillas Cons: burritos were bland Ambiance: 4.5/5 Taste: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Service: 4.5/5

my friends and I were searching for a place to hang out after work as well as a place that does taco Tuesday. So happy to have found Tacko. We've enjoyed several taco Tuesdays here! You can't beat $2 a taco. this place can get pretty packed but the line goes fast. You'll order and get a number and they will bring your food out when ready. Other tacos on the menu are also solid. I Enjoyed the seasoning of the fish on their Baja fish taco.

I just want to add to my review that on Tuesdays, Tacko has $3 Tecates three for $7 tacos. So it's $20 for you and a friend to eat!! So worth it and fun to sit inside or out.

Fantastic burrito spot! San Diego Carne Asada burrito is amazing. Plenty of seating in the restaurant and we received our food immediately. The service is always great and staff very friendly. Plenty of people seated inside and outside with room to spare.

It's my favorite taco when I'm in the San Francisco Marina district. The environment is nice, clean, and very welcoming. It's a nice place to eat in and enjoy your meal. The service is prompt and the staff is friendly. The food is delicious. My favorite is the Baja fish taco, Nick's way. Nicks way on the baja fish taco, fries the inner part of the tortilla, and comes with melted jack cheese and a nice glob of guacamole. I'd rate this taco a 10/10. If you're in the area, I suggest you give this spot a try.

This restaurant is absolutely perfect! Great service, super cute venue...very clean with great seating!! And the food was so delicious!! We didn't want to over eat so we got a shrimp burrito bowl, steak crispy taco and their chips with pico!! All was perfect and so so yummy!!!

This is our go-to place in the marina area. The fish tacos are 2DIE4. And a pitcher of margaritas for $22 cannot be beat. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Love this place, but haven't ordered in a while because I'm the stupid Keto diet. LOL. My coworkers decided to order today for office lunch. I really did think there was anything I could order, but I was wrong! I ordered the skinny quac which is guacamole with veggies. (I ordered with no carrots or jicama to keep it keto. So it was just cucumbers and radishes that are lightly seasoned. And I was able to get a side of their delicious carnitas! It was the perfect Keto meal! And I was super full! I am getting this every week now!

Super tasty comfort food in Cow Hollow. I had passed by Tacko a few times and today was the day I finally decided to try it. I was in a bit of a rush so I ordered the tortilla soup to go. I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened my bag and got complimentary chips and salsa. I started by snacking on those which were delicious and perfectly salty and crispy. I then moved on to the tortilla soup. The soup had lots of chicken but not many other toppings (e.g., besides avocado and a little clump of cheese). Also this tortilla soup is a lot more oily and watery - I usually like a more hearty, thick tortilla soup. However, it was really good and I gobbled up the entire thing.

Perfect spot to grab margs and bites. 22 oz. Margarita for $9.95??? Amazing deal. Nice ambiance and plenty of seating. The restaurant is very clean. The service was friendly. Will be going back soon!

Tacko is my go-to place for Mexican-American food in SF. Their Carne Asada Quesidilla is the best I have ever had in SF and I would highly recommend giving that a try if you havent already! The decor is very New England-y, so it doesn't scream "authentic" but the food is still top notch - esp the Carne Asada Quesidilla. They use whole wheat tortilla which maintains its shape when it's fried, the end result is a crispy crust that is far superior than any other place I've tried. the beef is marinated exceptionally well and full of flavor, on top of that the meat is of higher quality than your usual taco joint; it's very noticeable as each bite has a strong savory, fatty beefy flavor. The cheese is perfectly melted on the grill, and the salsa adds just the right amount of tanginess and freshness that cuts through the richer flavors of the beef, cheese, and fried tortilla. Pro move: The beef is very juicy, so dip the fried tortilla into the drippings as it will add even more to your already very flavorful bite. The contrasting texture of crispy and soft, juicy and fried plus the explosion of flavors is what makes this so special. The service is prob a 3.5/5 as the cashier always expects 20%+ tip even for takeout orders, but would tell you they charge extra for hot sauce even though you tip them 20%+! So beware if you think tipping culture in SF is out of hand. Side note: each time I order food directly from Tacko whether as a sit town or takeout customer the food has been fantastic and the quality consistent. However, when I ordered from Doordash the quality of the quesadilla was completely off. It was not crispy, rather super soggy and the cheese wasn't even melted properly. I highly recommend Tacko esp the carne asana Quesadilla, just make sure you order from them directly (not Doordash!)

The pico de gallo is super fresh as is the guacamole and some of the best tortilla chips around. Service was great. We went with a group of 15 and the staff was very accommodating. Definitely going back.

The food was delicious, the service was great we had a great time. Writing for my father - kid 1. I Loved the ambience and food!- kid 2. Oh try the guacamole, salsa, and chips! Kid 3. Dad approved!

When you walk in, everybody is very positive you order your food. Have a great selection and it was kind of amazing the music, the atmosphere of the openness and great value and a great selection of different beverages.

Who knew New England's Nantucket could do Mexican? Tacko is a marina classic with delicious burritos and tacos. The service is great and the vibe inside is a fun mix of preppy and Mexican. My go to is the chicken California burrito; the individual street tacos are also very good (usually I go with carne asada). The salsas are VERY good with a decent amount of variety.

Solid burrito, decent decor, and good seating! As a San Diego native, I feel like I know my burritos and while I won't say this is exactly what I dream about when I think of a burrito, it's really good! I got the SF burrito with carne asada. The meat was tender and seasoned very well. I felt like the ingredients could've been mixed a bit more because the meat settled to one side of it and cheese/other toppings to the other. There's a really good amount of meat and solid balance of the other toppings as well. However, I was underwhelmed by the tortilla! It was missing that chew that I get from a normal flour tortilla and this just felt a little bit off! It's a tiny bit on the smaller size, but for someone of my stature, it was filling! I could see someone maybe needing more food if they eat larger portions though. The pricing was decent and the decor was very modern and cute! The staff were nice and the service was very speedy and efficient. We stayed for a while talking and didn't feel rushed out at all! Not my go to spot in sf but definitely somewhere I'd go back to!

The Baja fish Nicks way taco and the carne bowl are fire!! Must go!!! The tortilla soup is also UNREALL. Salsa verde always fresh too.10/10!

Ok, this is a secret between just you and me, so keep it on the DL... They have a Taco Tuesday deal that I don't think many people know about. I'm not going to say that it's the most ~authentic~ taco, nor is it the absolute best taco in the city, but it's GOOD. It's a very, very solid street taco (it isn't the taco that's on their menu, which is more of a loaded taco situation), and I wouldn't have it any other way. My favorite is the carne asada! The chorizo is also very flavorful and fatty, but can be overwhelming if you eat more than 2 in a sitting. I've tried the chicken, but just not a fan. Go with Carne Asada--you won't regret it. Wonderfully smokey, meaty, delicious. I've also DoorDashed the burritos from here when I'm too lazy to cook--they're GENEROUS portions and come with chips when you order delivery/takeout! Their salsas are so addictive. My favorite is the red sauce!

I like ordering the street style tacos, which allows me to try 3 different things. Burritos are also good and very filling. Every time I go there, staff members are always friendly and supportive if I need help with ordering. I can always see staff members constantly checking and making the dinning space comfortable and clean. Overall a great spot worth visiting.

The carne Asada quesadilla slappped! They were super quick esp for a Friday night. Atmosphere was loud but great place to come with friends. They don't have big seating areas. Can't wait to come back

tried tacko for the first time and their chips and red salsa combo is addicting!! tried the fish tacos (nicks style) and that overwhelmed me a little bit with all the guac (very messy lol) but the fish tasted fresh and flavorful! shrimp taco was regular style and it was delish

My favorite Mexican place on cow hollow. The food is always good and the prices are very reasonable. There's no wait service and it's very casual. Sometimes the tables are a little sticky but they'll happily clean it if you ask.

I could only write for the grilled fish taco. It looks well presented though it was lacking salt and flavor. It's a little dry too and missing a bit of mayo. Service is good and the staffs I interacted with were nice. Place itself is ok. Tables are bussed and well maintained. I wouldn't come back though as I wasn't happy with the taco I ordered. But the beer XX is really good.

I'll be honest. I was expecting the worst when my friends wanted to grab Mexican in the Marina. And when I saw the Nantucket decorations my fears were only validated. But what didn't validate them? The food. The tacos, though maybe not the most authentic, are certainly far from the white people tacos my mom would make. I had Nick's style which was so so good. The tacos are hefty, cheesy and crispy. It's really a carnival for your mouth. You definitely spend more on tacos than you'd like, but it's a lot of food, and you can easily make up for it with their absurdly low-priced pitchers.

I don't understand the theme at all, but what I do understand is that the food is pretty good. I got a grilled fish burrito bowl. Portion sizes were decent. Could've used more seasoning but overall, I was very satisfied by the end of it. Was surprised to see fish taco and fish burrito bowl but no fish burrito. Will be back to try more items off the menu, or to see if they can make me a fish burrito.

Bland, low quality food. The only thing going for this place is that it's one of the only spots with tacos & burritos in the vicinity. This is the last time we'll go. It used to be fantastic but it changed ownership since then - and management & oversight seems to be increasingly diminishing even under new management (or maybe their newer goal is high volume of low quality food for delivery apps, so no freshly grilled meat, etc...). Had the a Carne Asada Quesadilla with Suiza (guac & sour cream) and it wasn't enjoyable at all. Barely any cheese, mostly meat, barely any flavor. The meat totally lacked flavor and just felt heavy; seems like a low quality meat that was boiled (not grilled) leaving all the flavor behind in the water. Ordered a side of rice and beans, and those too were totally flavorless. Don't expect the red & green sauces they put on the table to make it enjoyable, because those aren't so appealing either. After a couple bites I took the leftovers home, but ended up throwing it out the next day because the thought of eating it was so unappealing. In San Francisco it's a bummer to have such an unenjoyable meal that you don't want to eat more than a couple bites, because there's an abundance of places with delicious food.

You walk through a small storefront into a sprawling place. I came early afternoon and it was sparse, maybe a half dozen actually, in a place that could probably seat 60 or more. All orders are at the counter, takeout or stay-in. A sprawling menu, too -- so much that you can't grasp the layout and categories until your food arrives. We chose a variety, and over-ordered (in part because the menu is so complex it's hard to understand pricing and sizes sometimes). But the tacos were delicious, to a one. Experienced counter staff are ready for you, and your order is delivered to the table if you stay in. There's also someone there to constantly clean up, though it's obvious that you should bus your own trash and sort it into compost, recycle and landfill. This one should definitely be a regular.

I've tried a couple of different things here, but my go-to is the Carne Asada Quesadilla. Their carne asada is very tender & well-seasoned, pico de gallo is fresh, cheese is soft, and tortilla is super crispy. You have the option to add sour cream & guacamole for additional $. I find that the quesadilla itself is already packed with flavor w/o any add-ons. The portion is very generous. I have a voracious appetite and half of the quesadilla w/ some chips & guac is enough to satiate me. If you're looking for something lighter, then I'd go for the Mexican "Street Style" Tacos which come in a set of 3 (see below for pro-tip). I also recommend getting the carne asada. The chicken is a bit dry. Carnitas is also a good option. Their 2 salsas are also amazing (love the red salsa on the tacos). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro-Tips: 1) If you get your food to-go instead of dine-in, you get a bag of complimentary tortilla chips with each order. Not sure why you don't get it when you dine-in, but that's just how it is. 2) They have Taco Tuesday Deals for the Mexican "Street Style" Tacos. These "Street Style" tacos come in sets of 3 (they're small). It is $6 for 3, so $2 each on Tuesdays. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Items: Nick's Way Taco (4/5) - These are good, but quite heavy and much bigger than the "Street Style" tacos. 1-2 of these are enough to satisfy. I personally prefer the smaller "Street Style" tacos. Chips & Guac + Salsa (3/5) - Chips are bit thicker than I like, not very salted which would be fine if the guac was more salted but the guac is also lightly seasoned. I will say that the portion is generous and it is served in a big basket with guac and salsa on top of it, so I still get it pretty often. SF Burrito (3/5) - I'm not into burritos, and this didn't change my sentiment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. for those who are more visual learners... "What makes this carne asada quesadilla so amazing?" Picture this. As you prepare to take your first bite, a small stream of flavorful juices trickles down your arm. You pause just long enough to wipe it away, savoring the anticipation that lingers in the air. Your teeth sink into the crispy embrace of a flour tortilla, yielding to the melty embrace of the finest jack cheese. Suddenly, a wave of savory ecstasy washes over your palate as the hot steak unveils its magnificence. The saltiness dances with the juiciness, an expertly choreographed symphony of flavors. Just as you think you've reached the pinnacle of taste, the pico de gallo bursts onto the scene. Its cool freshness complements the warmth of the steak, creating a breathtaking juxtaposition of flavors. In that moment, you can't help but close your eyes and your taste buds throw a wild party, dancing and celebrating this glorious fiesta of flavors.
