Everything on the menu is good. Everything. Pretty much come here once a week at least as I live steps away. Great food, excellent staff, and very fair prices. They even give you bubbly water! Love this place. read more

I can not say this enough the black bean corn salad absolutely smacks. I always get a Baja fish taco nicks way for a little side snacky. It's truly chefs kiss read more

It was my first meal in the Bay Area and my friends asked me what I was in the mood for. "San Francisco food" I told them. They brought me here and I'm glad they did! This place is pretty chill - no frills, just great food! I got the Mexican "Street Style" tacos and loved all three. I really appreciated how simple they were - carne asada, carnitas, and chicken topped with cilantro and onions. Just a few great ingredients and they were good to go. The meat on all three of the tacos was super tender and the toppings were fresh. I tried their green salsa on the carnitas and it paired really well. I also got the mango Homemade Agua Fresca and it was so refreshing and delicious! A great place to go for some great tacos! read more

Tacko - Street Tacos! Carnitas, pollo, and carne asada. And mango agua fresca making a cameo appearance :) - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wow, great tacos and guacamole with chips and salsa. Had two tacos - 1) carne asada which comes Nick's way - two taco shells, a crispy fried taco enclosed by a soft taco shell. Piled with jack cheese, pinto beans, salsa, and guacamole. 2) the Baja fish taco - beer battered fish on two soft corn tacos with slaw. Given a choice, I'd go with having every taco Nick's Way. $1.50 extra if not served that way. Plenty of seating. Select seating from several counters on high bar type stools or grab a table which is picnic table style. Compostable flatware and food served in plastic baskets. read more

I've always raved about this place, so I'm sad to update my review with 2 stars. I wanted to dine here after The Bold Italic's microhood event in Cow Hollow. I hadn't been here since February of this year, so I was looking forward to getting a grilled fish taco Nick's way and elote. The place was busy, at least in my opinion because it was usually empty whenever I went in the past. I placed my order and the food came out pretty quickly... Perhaps too quickly.... The crispy shell was stale, so it didn't have that crunch I wanted. I sort of had to gnaw on it so I could take a bite. The fish was overdone, so much so I thought it was chicken. I was about to bring it back, when my roommate assured me it was fish when she looked at the texture of the meat. She ordered a fish burrito and she had the same problem. Her fish was overdone, and there was one part that was so burnt, she couldn't eat it. The only saving grace was the elote, which was delicious with the right amount of spice. I'm not sure if they cooked ahead because it was busy... But I'd rather wait for a perfect taco. read more

Tacko - Elote and a fish taco Nick's way.. The fish was overdone that I thought it was chicken. It even looks like chicken too. - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

You wont find a better cali burrito and agua fresca in the city. Online ordering is awesome, indoor seating is beautiful and spacious, and the fries are incredible. read more

Normally this is one of my five star places to eat. Been coming here for years. Haven't been for a few months and was craving a fish taco. Either they have a new chef or owner or I just hit it on an off day. Was there with my daughter, husband, son and daughter in law. The guys had burritos all the girls had fish tacos. The guys said the burritos were good as always but all the girls had the same opinion that the tacos sucked. The fish was cooked differently, the tortillas were awful and there was no flavor at all. So sad! I loved their fish tacos. read more

Tacko is a great spot near chestnut st. The prices were super reasonable. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken and added guacamole and sour cream. It was so much food! I wish the sour cream and guacamole were on the side but it was still great. The restaurant was super clean and the staff was friendly. I also saw someone else order the Chips with salsa and guacamole on top and I will be trying that next time. read more

Been ordering carnitas burritos from this location for a few years now and they're consistently tasty! Really love the quality of ingredients and the ratio of everything- it's never too wet or dry. Also really love the agua frescas, especially the watermelon one. read more

Food is decent. That being said, this is the second time we have ordered delivery where they forget an item. Bro, where is our bottle of red salsa?! I'm writing this in hopes that a manager seed this and makes sure it doesn't keep happening. It's pretty frustrating. read more

Interesting take on Mexican food. Love how many hot sauces they have and the house offerings are delicious

I really liked the energy this restaurant has and the environment. The food is even better than you think.

California Burrito was a joke. Added guacamole got no guacamole. The Asada? Non existent. Fries cold and lifeless, the soup amazing, pico de Gallo was old and stale. Won't be back. Over priced, over rated and I haven't had that bad of a burrito than this one. read more

Loved this spot. The carne asada quesadilla was amazing! My friend got the fish tacos and liked them but thought my quesadilla looked better. Cool little alcoves to sit out on the street as well. read more

Fish Taco and Quesadillas are the best bang for your buck! Both taste great and are super filling! Love the array of hot sauces they have as well as the house sauces. Food always comes relatively quickly and quality is consistent. One of my go-to restaurants in SF. read more

To make it clear from the start this was my first time. Tyler was great at first with the recommendations and from there it went downhill I ordered a fish taco and again it's my first time, the Second Lady (wouldn't give her name) was very rude and make it seem like I was bothering her after I asked what a certain type was when she asked how I wanted the first taco again it was my first time and the whole time I understand it was busy but she was just rude like as if I a bother to he. At this moment I got my first taco and I asked for fries and it came out grilled (no issues) this is when she was really annoyed and I kept my cool but asked to speak with a manager or a supervisor at the moment Tyler was annoyed by this I'm not sure if he was a supervisor because no one would answer me or would say there isn't any here, in all my jobs we always had a closing supervisor. To keep it short after just going for my first time I'd recommend looking up what some of their inside terms are when they asked for a specific way or else you'll look unintelligent the food it good for the price but I'm not sure I'd go again honestly because of how crazy it got when I asked for a MOD and it was honestly it give feedback but the employees jumped straight to the worst possible conclusion. Also didn't get a receipt for my fish taco. Honestly after having some time to think about it the food is good but the service I got for asking simple questions was the worst I've had in a long time especially since I live 2 blocks away and have been looking for a Mexican style food and Cali burrito that can compare to when I lived in San Diego. The San Francisco burrito (add fries) was very small 8/10 and the fish taco was good when they made it the way I ordered which was there started the disrespect was a solid 6/10 it could of been better if I had the confidence to ask for another sauce but at this point I was a bother and that caused me to just get out of there before I was beat up with all the looks I was getting from the staff for no knowing what anything was since again IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. So fsr the worst restaurant I've been to customer service wise in the Marina. Not related but I got my BA in hospitality so I might know a thing or two about customer service. If a manager could reach out to me I'd be happy read more

I cannot get enough of this establishment! I'm pretty sure I'm single handedly keeping them in business lol. I bounce around between the street tacos, San Francisco burrito, and the carne asada quesadilla as my main course. Their elotes are delicious and the pot de creme is heave sent! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a taqueria that finds the perfect balance between authentic and hipster. read more

Nothing special by any means. Felt as though the food lacked any sort of soul whatsoever. It's as if you taught a robot how to prepare food and assemble a burrito and it did just that. Don't get me wrong, the burrito was edible, but you can do much better with the plethora of options we have here in San Francisco. Does not help that the horchata legitimately tasted as though it were half watered down. Salsas were bland with little flavor and weren't remotely spicy. Quality of the meat was at least decent. read more

Good tacos and burritos, service was great and good-cute little set up outside due to COVID , gives you small little privacy plus less contact with the table aside of you. although even though they did try their best to keep the distance with the walls , I know there isn't enough space due to the bar next to it but I felt a bit close to the table next to us but I was protected with the wall and I had no contact with the table next us :)! read more

So good! I loved the map of Nantucket on the wall -I'm from Massachusetts and this was my first time in SF. I ordered a burrito - it was excellent. I'll definitely return. I'd love to try their margaritas too. read more

Hot damn. I had walked by this place a few times and decided to give it a try after reading online reviews. I just moved to the neighborhood and had tried a few other places that were disappointing. I walked to pick it up. Inside of the place was really nice, looks newer. Clean space, kitchen was bustling with staff, super reasonable prices. I ordered the vegetarian burrito with guac and sour cream, and my husband had a chicken quesadilla. We also got the chips and guac. We both really enjoyed our meals, by far the best Mexican food we've had in the neighborhood. We will be back! read more

Oh My Goodness!!! You MUST get the Carnitas Taco Nick's Way!!!! It is soooooo good! The food here is super fresh and tasty! The grilled shrimp burrito, chips and guacamole, elote, and the lobster roll are all awesome too! Service is friendly but this place is BUSY!! Plan to wait a bit for your food - perfect chance to snack on some chips and salsa with guacamole while you wait!! read more

really good quality taste and efficient. I've ordered from Tacko many times and every time the food is great quesadillas great burritos they are just really good and their sauces are great and they're quick to deliver. They're ready earlier than you expect. read more

Interesting juxtaposition of New England sailing theme, decor and vibes with gringo (and very good) SF taco joint. Somehow it's a perfect fit for the neighborhood. Besides the simple and always proper Lobster Roll (naked = w/drawn butter; no mayo).. the fare is similar to that of the owner's OG spot at the old club Rouge on Broadway & Polk... Nicks Crispy Tacos. Picture two tortillas with refried beans and cheese in between, grilled till just crispyish on the outside and melty on the inside, wrapped around your choice of Baja fish, carne asada (steak) or pork carnitas. Top with some fresh pico de gallo and a generous scoop of house made guacamole and twist that bad boy - sushi 'hand roll' style - and you've got a taco- NICK'S WAY- Delicious. My other goto is Elote con Queso.- an ear of deliciously sweet, creamy, and cheesy, white corn on the cob. Might be my fave item on the menu, actually. Add a number of items Ive missed, Sam Adams and Margaritas on tap and there you have it. Always busy, consistently good, and reasonably priced... TACKO with its park-let tables out front, was a staple that literally got us through 2020. Seriously. read more

Ask for the "salsa" on the side if you get the chips and salsa. The salsa is really salsa fresca and it's really, really wet. It's really good and really fresh. But it will get your chips soggy immediately. (And there's no jalapeños. And the salsa on the table is pretty mild too.) The guacamole is really good and the chips are really crunchy. All the food is good here. The service is fast. The space is nice and clean. read more

Their California burrito is one of my favorite in the city. Crispy tortilla, delicious steak, and some good horchata too.

Tacko is one of my favorite casual spots in the Marina. Actually, San Francisco can be very small. My mom met the owner on her plane ride from Nicaragua to San Francisco. She raved so much about him and his restaurant that every time she's in town, she always wants to go to Tacko. Service is a tad slow and prices are a little high, but the food makes up for that and always consistently good. Try one of these (or all) and you can't go wrong: Watermelon or Mango Agua Fresca Carne Asada Taco (Nicks Way) Carnitas Taco (Nicks Way) California Burrito Sopa de Tortilla Elote read more

Good restaurant and decent prices. I got the Baja fish taco Nick's Way which was tasty, but the fish was a little more greasy than I expected. The chips and salsa were also good, and they dump a large amount of pico de gallo on your chips! Good, but if you don't eat them fast enough they will get soggy from the juice. The employees wore gloves, even when taking your payment from you, and all the tables are currently spaced out to provide distance between people. Would definitely come back! read more

Tacko - BAJA FISH TACO - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

First time I ever got a burrito that I couldn't eat right away; the stuff inside was so effing hot that I burned my tongue. I only had 15 minutes before an appointment and I couldn't eat this stupid thing. It took a ridiculous amount of time to cool down enough to be edible. When I was finally able to eat it it was very disappointing. It was the grilled veggie burrito, mostly zucchini and indeterminate mush. There's supposed to be cheese in it but there was not enough to register. Thanks for the zucchini. I was really hoping for scalding zucchini slices for lunch. The sound system/acoustics are so bad in Tacko that I have no idea what kind of 'music' was playing but it was just obnoxiously loud. Who's managing this place? Not a pleasant experience. read more

Here's the $8 serving of guacamole I got. Unreal. I have to type more words in order to post a review. Hopefully this is enough to warn people. read more

This is the comfortable border between authentic taqueria and going overboard (aka tacolicious). You can ramble on and on or just call it was it is - solid taqueria. + burritos are hefty + they have no problem customizing orders (even when they say they can't) + so speedy (especially when you order in!!) + service is really friendly - no free chips :( read more

Rude cashier, very very rude. Zero greeting, stone cold attitude, and made me feel weird about not wanting salsa dumped on my chips when it was my first time. Food was decent, but beware of the cashier if you come here - zero help only attitude and sass! read more

Fantastically flavorful Mexican food in the Marina district! At first I ordered a burrito which I built with rice, beans, carnitas, and sour cream. There was a mix up with my order but the manager resolved it and had a new order prepared as soon as I brought it to their attention, so that was great. We also had the pineapple Aqua Fresca and guacamole with chips. These were both delicious, don't skip! The carne asada quesadilla was packed with flavor and had a beautiful almost deep-fried crust. A must try when you're in the area! read more

Sooo good! Not sure how I've been living in the neighborhood for so long without trying this place. Tacko is now my go-to spot if I'm craving Mexican food. I usually opt for 2 carne asada Nick's way tacos and that's plenty. Their tacos are loaded with meat, beans, cheese and guac. Costs about $13 and food comes out pretty quick. What more could you want! read more
