Service leaves much to be desired. The food is fine. Ordering is hectic. People ordering mixed with people waiting all grouped up front. Music blaring making it more stressful. They have same food at other locations - so I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here. Food is average - read more

Tacko - aparently someone new has been hired there. my order is incorrect mam. - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Amazing seating, amazing chips and guac. If you want a whole experience, go to Tacko. I love it here, the vibes, the food, the location- all amazing. Most importantly, they don't skimp you on the size of their tac(k)os! read more

This is a great place, it has interesting options. I had the San Diego burrito and it was delicious. I wish there were more places like this for fast, fresh Mexican food. read more

Pretty darn good, but the complementary chips are hilarious. I received a bag with a total of 4 chips. What a joke. Save the paper. Update: complementary chip quantity has been improved. Thanks Chris! read more

Tacko - "STREET STYLE" TACOS CHIPS, SALSA & GUACAMOLE - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bad food. Infested with flies. Dirty cups. Rude staff. Need I say more ? We asked the staff for better seating and they refused saying the flies aren't their problem. They used abusive language, so we took our food because we already paid for it and walked out right after. Not worth your money!!!!! Don't go. read more

I've heard good things about Tacko and have been wanting to try it for a while. I went for kind of an early taco Tuesday (around 5:30PM) and it was empty. However, it did get pretty crowded around 6:45-7PM. I also appreciated how how clean and aesthetically pleasing the restaurant & its decor was. After ordering our food at the cashier, we were given an order number, was able to sit anywhere we wanted, and our food was brought to us. Our food came about 10 minutes after we ordered. Based on Yelp reviews, I ordered the Carnitas Nick's Way taco ($5.95), which is one taco with a crispy corn tortilla wrapped in a soft tortilla with Monterey Jack cheese, pinto beans, pico de Gallo, and guacamole. I personally thought everything was good but the tortilla portion of the taco. I didn't find the crispy corn tortilla to be very crunchy and the soft taco wrapped on top of it all tasted like they just took it out of a bag of tacos without heating it up. My friend ordered the Mexican "Street Style" tacos ($7.95), which comes with three authentic Mexican tacos. One each of carne aside, carnitas, and pollo topped with cilantro and onions on small corn tortillas. I didn't try it but my friend said she really enjoyed it. We also shared chips & salsa ($2.25) and a pail of sangria ($12.50). The chips and salsa was good, but nothing special. We wanted to order guacamole with it, but when we saw it would cost $6.95, we didn't think it was worth it. However, the pail of sangria was very good and I would definitely order it again. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and also in the cutest little bucket. Overall, I thought the tacos were delicious and I would definitely return. read more

The people working here were great and the takeout was ready on time. The food was pretty average tasting. I think there are a lot better places to get Mexican food from, I probably wouldn't eat here again. read more

Ordered delivery from Caviar. The first time was great. Then today is my second time，the guacamole is so dark on both tacos..And the baja fish is pretty dry. read more

Ordered thru ubereats and missing 2 things. I don't know how this place has decent reviews, those people are lucky or their hardcore rice n beans in all my food people. Not gonna elaborate because I don't care for their food, especially wheat tortilla wrapped burrito, yuck! I would rather have Taco Bell over this stuff, cereal. Calling it inflated reviews on this joint. You're welcome! read more

I've never eaten a burrito and almost gotten sick. Unfortunately the shrimp burrito here did that. We ordered from an app. I wanted to try a new place. I was so disappointed. Totally the grossest thing ever! read more

Tacko is no La Corneta, but close. Get the Mexican burrito, no rice no frills, just some good carne y frijoles. They also have a bunch of salsa! read more

I'm very upset because I have to hear from my wife who works at the hospital that the place was giving her a hard time for ordering through DoorDash. She had taken her 15 min break and lunch combined for her food to come. She waited over a hour, she called her DoorDash driver and the guy told her that some other delivery service took their order and her order. They also refused to remake her order at first and told her to cancel her order. This business should have a better set up for their pick up services. My wife ended up spending/waiting over a hour starving and did not eat anything for lunch! She had to call DoorDash to cancel because the driver didn't cancel the order either. read more

Sometimes I think the only thing keeping me in San Francisco anymore is Tacko. Thank you Tacko for all that you do read more

Very friendly staff especially tall guy at cashier. I recommend San Francisco burrito with carne asada. Would definitely come again !

i want to thank whoever owns this place because mexican food has no business being this good. wow

Average food, not a ton of flavor when compared to other Mexican spots in SF. I got the Mexican Burrito with Carne Asada, it was fine, but none of the flavor stood out. Salsas don't have much flavor to them either, I so badly want this place to be great, but it doesn't excite the palate quite enough to make me want to go back unless I'm on a time crunch and need something super fast. read more

Tacko is both quite expensive and quite average. Tacko has potential if they would go the Mission and study how a burrito is properly made. There is a difference between making a burrito and putting a bunch of ingredients in a tortilla. I keep trying to like the place... They just won't let me. read more

I had never heard of this place until I found it on door dash. Given that I live in the Castro and NEVER make it up to this part of town, I thought I would give it a whirl. Apparently it's the same owners as Nick's Crispy Tacos, which I have had and loved. I had the Nick's Special tacos with the fried shell inside the soft tortilla with cheese inside.....similar to the dorado style tacos at La Taqueria I love so much. I had a carnitas and a carne asada. I would say that the carnitas is not as good as La Taqueria but the carne asada was better....the beef had better flavor to it. I might have given it 5 stars if I had dined in and the shell was crispier, but considering it was driven down here in rush hour on a thursday, the end result was still tasty. Next time, I plan on getting a carne asada burrito cali style with french fries in it. read more

Came here with a group during a conference and was pretty underwhelmed. I ordered a vegetarian burrito. It was OK (pretty hard to mess up a veggie burrito) but definitely rates in lower 50% in terms of burritos I've met. Perhaps the high ratings this place gets is primarily for their more unusual items, like their shrimp tacos, but there weren't any exciting vegetarian options. Long line to order, then another long wait, some 20 minutes, all for a simple veggie burrito. Plus the prices are very high for Mexican food, even within SF, and the service, lukewarm at best. The place has been called "upscale," but I just don't see it. I mean they have wood plank tables and benches, c'mon. read more

Awesome spot that I hadn't been to but recently went to post the Bay to Breakers. Line moved pretty quick and the food was good. I went with a taco, Nik's way, which is a soft and hardshell taco layered with goodies. It was good, I wasn't too hungry,but the burritos looked amazing. Reminded me of some stellar burritos I had back in the late 90s/early 2000s here in SF. So needless to say I will be coming back to try that! The tables were clean and it is a first come first serve with open seating. They also have a great selection of juice drinks, beers, and margaritas. If you're in the neighborhood and are looking for some good Mexican check this gem out! read more

I am so beyond disgusted and disappointed with Tacko. Let me tell you how it went from 5 star to 1 star in my eyes. Tacko has COMPLETELY LOST me as a customer due to their unhygienic practices and their complete disregard for customer service and awareness. I was eating here and ordered a fish taco. I took a bite and as I went in for my second, a COCKROACH crawled out from inside the taco. I'll let you let this sink in for a second. GROSS!!!!! I was shaking and so upset. I went up to the counter to show them what had happened. The gentleman behind the counter looked at me without any concern and said they would simply make me a new taco.... ARE YOU FRIGGING SERIOUS?!?!?! I don't want a taco, I don't want anything from this place! I want you to be as upset as I am that there is a COCKROACH in my FOOD! How do you miss this?! My beloved Tacko place is now ruined forever. Not only that, they did not apologize, offer my money back or tell me they were going to correct the issue. I hope the health department reads this because one way or another, this place needs a rude awakening. TAKE TIME IN PREPARING YOUR FOOD AND WATCH OUT FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS BEST INTERESTS! otherwise, you won't have any more customers to support your business. read more

Ah, two of my favorite countries - Mexico and Nantucket. You know I'm all about the #mashup places: sushi AND karaoke, fried chicken AND milk tea, Korean food AND no kpop, or in this case burritos AND lobter* rolls. (-_^) Lobster Roll $17.50 (http://bit.ly/1N3BKTx) No mayo. Got a claw! #coolaf (-_^) Mexican Burrito $8.25 (http://bit.ly/21v4xtU) Gracias for no-rice options. (-_^) Iced Yerba Mate $3? (http://bit.ly/1XGVr8H) Tastes like mashed lentils. Plus dopest music ev. Marina folk trying to work on laptops, text frendos, have convos & stizz; I was the only one dancing - can you blame me? Whispers, old soul, and Motown played the whole time. A little too energetic for the mellow crowd, but wgaf. *Not a tpyo.** **But that was. :p read more

Ordered the carne asada burrito and really enjoyed it. The steak was juicy and the salsa had just the right of kick. My chorizo taco was ok, could have used a bit more flavor. Overall a very solid choice for mexican food in SF at a decent price. I'll be ordering through door dash again! read more

Without question, San Diegans are Mexican food snobs and proclaim that the best Mexican food in the world comes from our city in the sun. Yep, even better than Mexico. It is a bold statement but I have yet to find any other place with as many quality Mexican food spots as SD. With this being said... Official press release: San Diego is going to adopt Tacko, rough it up a bit and bring her down our way. Thank you, San Francisco. Okay, that is taking things a bit far but it is better than any other Mexican joint, taqueria or taco truck in the Bay Area. It's way overpriced but is a pretty solid fix for Southern Californians looking for a little slice of home. Naturally, I ordered the San Diego burrito which was loaded with cheese, pico de gallo salsa, guacamole and carne asada. It rang in at $8.25, which is a bit hard to stomach the burrito itself definitely was not. The tortilla was more cooked than I am accustomed to but everything else was pretty damn close to what we find in SD. Something that you don't often find down here is a place that can serve fast casual Mexican food and beer. They are few and far between but Tacko comes correct and will sling you a Tecate for a few extra bucks. The worst part about this place? The lack of salsa. They do have a bunch of different hot sauces in bottles but a salsa bar with a variety would do them some good. All in all, Tacko takes the cake, err, taco for as close as they come in SF. read more

inedible food. got the grilled veggie burrito and it had so much liquid in it that it made a full pool on the plate. soggy, no flavor. chorizo california burrito was mushy and soggy, greasy, inedible couldn't eat any of it. chicken tacos were dry and flavorless. read more

The food was delicious!! I can't wait to go back. If you get it Nick's way, you don't regret it. I don't know who Nick is but I like his style!! Go to Tacko, get some nachos and get ready to have a delicious and creative food experience. I also loved the personal over head heaters at the tables. read more

Tried the crispy baja tacos. So good definitely recommend this spot. Prices are reasonable and the service is fast.

Not really a big fan of Mexican food unless it's been a full night of drinking. For some reason, I was drawn to this place because it didn't remind me of the typical hole in wall Mexican establishment. It resembled a San Diego, oceanside town, maybe East coast fishing town kind of joint. The Nantucket art gave that away, but could be the picnic style tables with high bar stools. When you go in, it's pretty simple. Just approach the counter, order your food, get a number and they'll bring your order to your table when it's ready. For my meal, I got the Carne Asade San Francisco burrito for $10.25. A Mission style favorite, Carne Asada, rice, pinto beans, pico de gallo, cheese and guacamole. The burrito was HUGE! Like I said, I typically don't care for Mexican food but this was good! Lots of meat so I wasn't feeling like I wasted money. Very filling and satisfying. Tacko is super fast and convenient. It's next to all the Cow Hollow pubs and taverns so when you're in the area, stop by and get yourself a burrito. You'll be glad you did! read more

We got an horchata and burrito and neither were what we expected. The tortillas don't go well with typical Mexican food and the horchata didn't taste authentic. The salsa was also not what we were expecting and didn't have a good flavor. read more

I have to update this review based on my experience ordering takeout last night. I ordered a black bean and corn salad with carne asada, no cheese and no dressing. I live 2 blocks away so by the time I got over there to pick it up ~10 min later it was ready and waiting. The staff is always so friendly here - really nice people who go out of their way to help. No different this time, the server asked if I wanted chips and salsa, I said yes and asked for additional salsa which he happily gave me. So I get home and am eager to break into this delicious salad. But when I open it up I sadly realize there is no carne asada on it. This was a big bummer for 2 reasons: first, it's like $5 to add carne asada, and second, it's sooooo tasty. So I call up to ask about it. The lady on the phone is immediately very apologetic. She offers to refund the purchase in whole or offers that I can come back for a side container of carne asada. I opt for the latter since I'm only two blocks away. When I get there, she again apologizes profusely and hands over a very generous portion of carne asada in a side container. On top of that, she also says she refunded my transaction! The level of humble apology and service was totally unexpected and definitely made an initially unfortunate experience right (more than necessary, I would have been happy with just the extra meat). Just another reason to continue to frequent Tacko (on top of the delicious food!). Thanks! read more

No comparison to Nick's cripsy tacos....waited for almost 30mins for order to be taken as line grew longer and there hardly were any seats....the guy taking orders cleaned in between customers making the line longer, then he said all tacos are nicks way...so when I ordered the fish I found that not all were nicks way. Our order came out randomly and we all ate at different times....it took way to long for our food and was not worth the wait. Probably won't go back unless they have a good happy hour. read more

Day 4 in San Francisco. Been to many restaurants and I love this place. The only one I'm leaving a glowing review for. Got the San Francisco carne asada burrito, queso corn, chips/salsa/guac and a margarita. It's busy on a Wednesday - looks like locals eat here which is a good sign. Everything was tasty and the staff is friendly. Food came out quick too. I'll def come back. Update: Been here a while now since I first started this review and there's a constant line of people to dine in, they keep walking in. And also noticeable pickup is happening. Turnover is good. It's busy with loud conversation right now - but not too loud though. Enough to feel like a night out even though it's Wednesday. read more

Tacko - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got food poisoning from the elote. I came in with a large group and I shared a corn with someone. We both had very bad food poisoning for days following that meal. Everyone else in the group ate the same foods as us except the corn. This place is also overpriced. One quesadilla and one ear of corn ended up being $16. It was also not very good. I do not recommend this location. read more

Maybe I have been spoilt by the mission but I found the tacos and burritos here a little bland. We came here after a long day in the afternoon when it was a bit quieter. We scored a table inside at the front and we set ourselves up with a highchair and a selection of sauces. We had the "San Francisco" chicken burrito which was a bit flavorless and a bit too creamy and the Mexican "street" burritos which were also a bit boring, I liked the pork but my wife found it too fatty. Price wise it is pretty good for the area, they have a good drink selection (variety of beer, cider etc) and the chips and salsa was quite fresh. read more
