Last Sunday was the first time I've dined-in at Tacko in over a year due to the pandemic. Tacko hasn't lost a step. I ordered my usual, a lobster roll (please never take this off the menu), a baja fish taco, and elote con queso. All were delicious as usual. My only ask would be to make a more spicy salsa. Love this place for its masterful blending of simple American and Mexican cuisine. Glad this gem has survived the pandemic. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to place a door dash order for a Tacko California burrito! read more

Nick is back, and he's crispier than ever! Best of all, he's even closer to my buddy's place in the Marina for all my visits to SF. It's everything you loved about NCT, made by the man himself! As a non-resident of The City, it's one place I have to visit every time I'm there. You know it by now, get all the tackos Nick's Way, you'd be crazy not to. Burritos? Salads? Lobster rolls? Couldn't tell you, still too addicted to the tackos to get anything else, but I'm sure they're amazing as well. Make sure to ask for their habanero hot sauce if you want to add a little fire to your b-hole! read more

This restaurant has incredible food and a wonderful ambiance. Burritos can be turned into bowls which is great for those of us not wanting the carbs of a tortilla. Otherwise, the outdoor dining area is great, given the current global health situation. read more

Broke my Nicks / Tacko cherry over the weekend during the Union Street Fair. I was pretty hammered so things were blurry. However, my one remaining vivid memory was the frustration of not being able to shovel these tackos into my mouth fast enough. I ordered the carne asada, the fish taco, and corn on the cob. My mind was blown. The food offers fresh flavors that bind well together. Very clean. Think Chipotle versus a Mission taqueria but of course significantly better and has unique, individual flavors versus the mass produced chipotle. They also have a myriad of hot sauces and salsas to further tailor your experience to your liking. read more

Horchata is wonderful, very sweet and needed extra units of insulin, but amazing. The fish tacos are solid.

Very surprised by Tacko -- excellent Cali-Mex food. I'd say Mexi-Cal, but it's not, it's strongly Californian. I live near Nick's Crispy Taco's and have tried them a couple of times. They're fine. I think the best part of Nick's is that they're in a bar. Full disclosure: never got taco's Nick's Way -- but I'm more of a quesadilla gal or a burrito gal. So, anyway, when Caviar had a no fee delivery promotion, I decided to try Tacko. So glad I did! I got the carne asada (Kobe beef -- yes! It rises above) and the Elote (amazingly delicious with the lime crema!) and the Skinny Guacamole (no chips, but cucumber, jicama, radish, & carrots. -- skip the carrots), I was surprised. Why, you may ask. Well, because the quesadilla was cooked on the grill, with plenty of cheese on the tortilla, making it perfectly crispy, browned to perfection. That's how I want all my burritos to be! But I keep getting steamed ugh ugh. The amount of meat they put into the quesadilla was insane! Delicious! The Elote was such a great corn on the cob. I've lived in Iowa and we pride ourselves on the best corn in the world -- so I know corn. This cob was sweet, easy to eat, delicious and with just the right amount of crema, cojita and cayenne to make it perfect. Finally, the Skinny Guacamole was surprising. I love all the veggies in the mix -- the only thing: the large rounds of carrots were a little less crisp than the cake, jicama & radish. Next time, I'll probably skip the carrot. And you can -- you can customize your order to what you like. All in all, 5 stars! read more

Really solid meat! Flavorful and juicy. My favorite were the fish tacos! The only one draw back was the beans and rice were "hard" i think they might have been undercooked but otherwise this place was delicious! (They don't skimp on the Guac!) read more

Ordered a SF chicken burrito on DoorDash on 1/25 around 2:30pm and it was incredibly soggy... literally soaking wet inside. It was like eating chicken soup in a soggy, floppy tortilla. It's honestly kind of humorous how bad it was. Unacceptable with all the great burrito options out there.... Hope you guys figure it out. read more

Got two baja tacos nick's way - they were good. I like the sauces on the table to dress them up. HOWEVER, coming to this place after going to Underdog's ruined it for me I think; somehow, the tacos weren't as good. The place was loaded with really loud, drunk Marina people on a Wednesday night. + fresh fish, good amount of guac + self serve water - VERY important - shell wasn't as crispy as at Underdog's - longggg wait times - chips + salsa = soggy by the time they got to us read more

I can't believe I've never been here in the 2 years they've been open! I've found my new favorite lunch place in the Marian! Friendly staff, food was delicious & quick! I'll be back to try more things! $2 tacos is a great deal, especially before 5:00! read more

Tacko - "$2 Street Tacos" Amazing! - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ok yes- this place is in the Marina. With that said, it comes complete with Marina prices and Marina people. Never have I ever paid 35 bucks for 5 tacos in my life. However, those were the best darn tacos I've ever had. Nicks way is just genius! I had the fish, shrimp and a chicken taco nicks way. Definitely full of deliciousness and flavor. I seriously had no problem dealing with the fact I was in the marina once I started eating. Definitely in love read more

We went here on a Tuesday hoping to find some good taco tuesday deals. They have $2 street tacos and $2 tecate ! I liked the ambiance of the place and the service was excellent. The restaurant is cute and clean even though the neighborhood was too quiet for my liking at 830 PM. Personally i found the tacos to be a little bland.. i tried the Nick's style and the street tacos and i thought the flavors were missing.. read more

A decent copy of Southern California burritos. Love the one with fries

Hands down the best quesadillas I've ever had. Not sure if they should even call it a quesadilla. If you try this place, you must get the quesadilla. I'm repeating the word quesadilla because it's that good! read more

First off, this is not how you spell taco! Second off, I'm from California and these California burritos are some of the worst I've even experienced. Oily, mushy, and very poorly made. Putting french fries into a burrito is not just something you toss in there to label it "Cali", there's an art form to it. They need to be crispy, to add a nice crunch to every bite, not just extra mush you taste when you get to the center. Over priced food. Douchy atmosphere. Amateur Mexican food, at best. One star! read more

This is definitely a great place for Mexican food but it is a bit more Americanized. If you want true authentic Mexican, you will need to visit the Mission. However, that does not take away from the quality of the food. I will say the service is a little lack luster but when you are ordering at a counter, you can't expect a 5 star dining experience. Another con is that they are stingy with their salsa when you get it to go. When you eat there, they give you bottles of salsa and the salsa is some of the best I've had. However, when you get it to go, they give you a couple of small containers. When you ask for more, they look at you like you are asking for their first born. read more

The food here is so good and they really made the outside area cute i love going here

Just crazy good Mexican. Nick's Way tacos are just stupidly good. We are in town for just a week and my wife insisted that we come back here again. They are THAT good. Everything else that we had was also super tasty. read more

Absolutely electric carne asada quesadilla. Tacko puts pico de gallo and sour cream in their quesadillas, making it a delicious quesarito essentially without the rice. And you can add rice if you like! The salsa verde is also fantastic. read more

Definitely one of my fav places for quality food and drinks! There's definitely flavor in tacos and I typica

I've lived in the neighborhood for 4 years, and I've always appreciated Tacko. If you're looking for cheap, but good, Mexican food, Tacko is the place to go. They have burritos for under $10! I always got the burrito, and then randomly one night I got the quesadilla. From now on, I will always get the quesadilla. It was amazing. Some reviews say it's greasy, yup, I didn't get a quesadilla as a health food. That's all part of it's charm. It almost looks like a deep friend burrito and I love everything about it. Get it with the sour cream and guacamole and you won't regret it. read more

Nothing special. If you are hungry & want to eat something then go there. Not authentic Mexican food.

Tacko is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for a quick bite in cow hollow. Although prices are a little high, the quality of ingredients is equally high, from the chicken (all shredded breast meat and not dry at all) to the beef and carnitas. Although some of the recipes / menu items seem suspiciously similar to La Taqueria in the Mission (my favorite burrito / taco spot in SF), I really don't care since La Taqueria is on the other side of the city. For those of you a little health conscious, the salad is phenomenal, and is actually filling. The award for most disappointing menu items goes to the lobster roll, which was not only small, but also filled with rubbery over-cooked lobster and very bland. If they're going to style this place after Nantucket, the least they could do is offer a halfway decent New England style lobster roll. Overall, I really like this spot. The food is good, fresh, and consistent, and the menu is not terribly overpriced for SF. My only caveat is that this spot gets busy during dinner time and if you're planning to take food to go, be sure to call ahead, otherwise you may be waiting for 10-20 minutes. read more

Great customer experience. Love the vibe, Nemanja, manager and coworkers are doing amazing job to keep good flow and deliver great experiences even during the covid. My favorite so far is salad and carne asada, looking forward to order "for here" again, but until then, delivery is going to be great alternative! read more

This place crushed it with their California burrito! Loved how the carne asada meat wasn't greasy. In fact, it was dry. But there was so much going on in this wrapped piece of heaven, so it was actually preferable to me if the meat wasn't the center of my taste bud attention. The salsas in a squirt bottle on the table = excellent idea! The green was mild, and the red was medium Overall, great vibe! Service was fast and there was ample space to move around between tables. Not too noisy. read more

Tacko has the best quesadilla in the city no question. I always get the carne asada quesadilla. They crisp the outside perfectly for a great crunch. Get it with the suiza, it's worth it. So good read more

This is a decent Mexican restaurant with quick service. We ordered the chicken tacos nick's way and the taco salad. The tacos were good -nick's way made them even better. The guacamole is very tasty. For the salad, I'd recommend adding a protein (there are several options, we added shrimp), otherwise it's not too filling. Overall, the salad was pretty average. Overall, a good spot for a quick and casual lunch. Snag a seat outside or by the window if it's not too busy to enjoy people watching on Fillmore. read more

Taco Asada Quesadilla my best dishes here. Every time when I am in SF, I visit the place.

Torn between three and four stars due to inconsistency. When they get it right, it's great. Unfortunately, they are so hit and miss. A recent Baja fish burrito order was 90% cabbage. read more

Love this place! Prices are superrrr reasonable for the area, so it's become my go-to place for a quick bite. The nick's way tacos are good if you're looking for something light, the burrito is a more substantial option, and the quesadillas are great after a few day drinks. My seafood eating friends say that the fish tacos are the thing to get. read more

Honestly, the rating is more for the location and decor than the food. To be fair, anything corn isn't my thing and am not too familiar with Mexican food. I know, right? Anyway, I always end up wondering, so why did I go there? It was a very simple quick bite: chips and salsa and veggie taco. Just average fare, if you ask me and pricey - isn't chips and salsa complimentary in Mexican restaurants? Um, not here: $2+. Very generous portion though. 1 veggie taco: $4+, tax included. Will surely snap some pics on next visit. read more

Not bad if you are in the neighborhood but just average on the burrito flavor scale for me (I might need to explore the menu more). Only two salsas to choose from and one kind of beans. No black beans? At all? Don't get the Nantucket decor - we all live in California now - Mexico lives on our border - from whence the Taco came. Staff have always been pretty friendly. Much appreciated. read more

Me and my buddy came here just to try something different, and we were blown away!!! This place is awesome great atmosphere with amazing food! The portions are unreal the burrito is like 1lb or over that and the carne Asada quesadilla is crazy good. If your in the marina area stop by here you won't regret it. read more

Tacko - Can't go wrong with a Modelo. - Mexican Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed Tacko until now as I've been a regular over the past five years. It's easily my second favorite burrito in San Francisco behind La Taqueria, and that's saying a lot. What makes this place so great? The quality of proteins, the salsas/hot sauces and tortilla. I'm a huge fan of the chicken as my protein but, the carnitas and carne asada are both legit too. Yesterday, I ordered the San Francisco chicken burrito and guess what? Unreal. Get it. I'm also a big fan of their quesadillas and it's a great option if you're into those. Who isn't? ;) Tacko. Mi Amor. Thanks for being you. read more
