Tacko

🌮 A Must-Try for Fish Taco Lovers! 🌮 As someone who’s passionate about trying fish tacos all over the world, I have to say—this was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! The taco was huge, packed generously with fresh, flavorful ingredients, and absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with taste, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality and freshly prepared. Ordering was quick and hassle-free, which made the experience even better. The staff was friendly, and the service was efficient. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and inviting—perfect for a casual bite or a quick lunch stop. If you’re a taco enthusiast (especially fish tacos!), you have to give this place a try. Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The food was really good and tasted authentic which I always pay attention to. The staff was very nice and the restaurant/tables were always cleaned. The music in the background is a nice touch especially because it’s not just plain elevator music. 10/10 I would def recommend the restaurant!!

Obsessed. This is my second time here in 2 weeks and I cannot get enough. Guacamole is my favourite in the city. The Nick’s tacos are CRAZY good. A gluten free human’s dream come true too, since it’s all corn :)

Chicken at this place had a very bad taste. Only good part was the chorizo. Shrimp was very tough too. Person at register was sweet, but the waiters were a bit rude. Wish we went to some other place for lunch. Very small tables, not recommended for groups with more than 4 people.

Quesabirria, San Fran Burrito, chips and salsa, and horchata were all great. Nothing outstanding or fancy but just really tasty food. Definitely a great spot for a meal!

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!

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.

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!!

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

Carne Asada Quesadilla here is amazing. Super flavorful with a solid amount of meat and cheese in it. Also a huge fan of how crisp they get the outside

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

These were some decent tacos... reminded me of the place on 9th Ave. I hade a trio of chicken, steak and pork. I'll go back.

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.

Solid fresh Mex! Meat quality is excellent. Lots of real guacamole too. My new go-to place in the Marina.

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. The street tacos are delicious, and the chips and guacamole are GENEROUS. Great experience overall, will stop here every time I'm in the city.

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

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.

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.

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.

Food was excellent. Very fresh. Had a. Salad and taco. Both were excellent Service and ambience also 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! 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Don't order to-go here unless you want to wait 1 hour. Should've ordered dine in because they served those must faster, even though we waited to order in the same line

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.

Great burritos!! Wish they'd add surf & turf to menu. We order one steak & one shrimp and share both.

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.

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!)

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!!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Easy to get takeout on my way home, but nothing to write home about. Prices as expected for Mexican food on the Marina (so basically overpriced for anywhere else)
