The food is really good! Great Cali-Mexican fusion. I would give the food 4 or even 4.5 stars. For those who don't know, Nick's Crispy Tacos (Polk and Broadway) is basically the same food & menu. So why the three stars? You'll have to read between the lines: the extreme effort put forth to make this place look like a Nantucket beach house opposed to a Mexican restaurant has to raise a brow. Why the random 'k' in Tacko? Maybe I'm missing something. This kind of curated branding makes me wonder what this business is trying to avoid and what they are trying to promote. read more

I wanted to like this place but the pictures on yelp look much better than the food tasted. We ordered salsa and chips. The salsa was more like Pico de gallo. Grilled fish burrito was more like cabbage salad wrapped in a flour tortilla. I ordered the lobster roll. By far the worst thing. It was rubbery and they soaked the bread with so much butter the bread fell apart. Maybe the kitchen was having a bad day. read more

In response to Chris - no - the tortillas were untouched by the grill. And I think they were whole wheat, which we didn't order.

Yummy authentic Mexican food! I love their Carnitas and Carne Assad tacos with their red salad - I wish I had a big enough stomach to eat 10 of them!! read more

This has been my new favorite place to get a burrito! It used to be La Taqueria on Mission, but cash only is a major turn off! I'm not into having cash in my wallet since I got my wallet stolen in 9th grade with all my birthday money in it, but that's another story and I don't want to bore you with my problems as an adolescent. Anyway... Back to bragging about Tacko! My husband and I spent all day hanging out at Crissy Fields beach with our dog Peanut! Peanut is a service animal. He helps me with my anxiety. Since we were at the beach, we didn't think about bringing her service vest or her service ID card. We got a little hungry on the beach and we didn't want to eat the boring granola we brought. We saw two guys eating a burrito! My husband asked where they got the burrito from. Of course they said Tacko. This place was a 20 minute walk from where we were. We started walking. When we were close to the restaurant, I realized we didn't have Peanuts service vest or card with us. But when we got there they welcomed Peanut with open arms and let her in the restaurant! When we ordered I couldn't decide on a California burrito, San Francisco burrito, a Nicks Way Taco. I couldn't decide! I ended up with a San Francisco burrito. It was Mission style burrito with carnitas! OMG!! I ate that whole burrito in less than 5 minutes! It was juicy, tender, savory. I had an orgasm in my mouth! I loved it!! It's been a week since we ate there and I swear I've been talking about it to everyone I encountered! I think I might go there today!! read more

This is our go-to spot in the Marina! The salad with carnitas is INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend. Their margs are fantastic too! The hospitality is so kind and welcoming. read more

Had an early dinner here with a friend who frequents Tacko a lot - now I know why!! It was my inaugural visit and, although I don't get to SF very often, will not be my last. Nick's Way tacos with the Carne Asada was SO GOOD! The chips and guac were fab too. read more

Fantastic shrimp burrito, to bad when I asked how many came in the burrito(bout 6), I ordered extra shrimp. All I got was charged extra. So sad because the burrito was good so was the salsa in the squeeze bottle. Last time I order extra there read more

Awesome and disappointed at the same time. I stopped in here while walking by and noticed the massive line. Ended up ordering one of each of their street tacos and a Baja fish taco. Now my rating is based on all the tacos overall if I just ordered beef it would be 5 stars. Beef taco was 5/5 it was amazing. I'm not normally a beef taco fan I prefer shrimp fish or pork but this was by far the best. Awesome. Chicken taco 3/5 it was ok, nothing too special. Have had better but also have had much worse. Generally chicken are my least favorite but wanted to give theirs a shot. Pork Taco 2/5 was really disappointed. Anyone who has had real Mexican street tacos knows that pork are always the best and most authentic/popular. They are also usually my favorite but these really lacked any flavor and the texture was too chunky IMO. Baja Fish (nicks way) 3.5/5 this was pretty damn good but the fish itself lacked flavor and or seasoning. It also tasted quite 'fishy' in the way fresh fish should not. It was also missing the pico that was supposed to come with the nicks way. Overall it was a great choice and I would go back for just the beef tacos and maybe try a burrito. read more

The tacos here are revolutionary ! Hard and soft shell with beans and cheese and meat and guacamole and pico de Gallo.. sooo amazing ! Sangria is good too read more

The outdoor seating is so amazing, each socially distanced booth comes with its own heat lamp. The real star of the show was the steak tacos, the steak was so flavorful and the tortilla very soft and warm. Overall an excellent meal. read more

I was debating on the rating of this place. I enjoy that there is usually parking and that they have very delicious Aguas frescas. The food is solid for the most part. Chorizo not so much but that's okay. Based on overall experience I felt like giving this place 4 stars. And that's being generous. However, Solomon's willingness to help his peer, as well as his professionalism is why I gave this place 5 stars!!!! He is the man! Thanks, will be back read more

Yikes, what happened to Tacko? Today I decided to get some pick-up after work. I called and someone put me on hold, after 10 min on hold I hung up and tried calling back but couldn't get through. Advice # 1. Please add the "call waiting feature", it's pretty annoying to be sent to VM because the phone is off the hook. Which means I would have actually been on hold for 15 minutes. More like forgotten. When the call finally went through the man who picked up the phone sounded really sick or hungover (hopefully hungover?) But we managed to get through the order. Side note: you know when you say "thank you, bye" to the other person on the phone and they already hung up? Well, that happened. Which look, I've worked in busy restaurants before where I had to answer multiple phones at once. I know what busy feels like. Advice # 2. Don't hang up before the client says thank you and good bye. Those 2 seconds you might save in that moment, will cost you a lot more later. So I arrive to pick up my order. I was curious how busy the restaurant was going to be due to the weird phone interaction. To my surprise, not busy at all. Maybe understaffed, I don't know. ***Well actually metaphorically speaking, yes, very understaffed*** The same guy I spoke with on the phone is the one at the cashier, pretty sure he's even a manager. The reason I think this is because he's the only one who was on his cellphone the entire time I was standing there, and he generally just seemed like he maybe owned the place too. You know, smug-ish. Yet unlike many other restaurant owners and managers I've known, he didn't seem very proud of his workplace. Wrinkled shirt, messy hair, and all around bad attitude. I feel kind of bad bringing this up... but it was honestly kind of shocking how bad of a look he had. My whole order was wrong. He didn't even order my sandwich, and the sides were wrong and he also forgot the two drinks. He still charged me for the sandwich though afterwards. Even though I had to wait for them to make it. I think I barely got an apology or a thank you. Advice # 3. Don't do a job you hate so much, or find a way to love everything you do. You won't only affect your customers but also the other employees who work around you / for you. Be an example to follow. Smile at your customers. This place has been good before and I'm sure once they fix their internal problems it will be good again. Maybe I'll pop my head in a few months and see what's going on. Good luck Tacko. read more

I got a burrito, the meat was dey and the tortilla didn't taste good, had to wait too long, don't recommend there's much better mexican food at marina area read more

Consistently the Mexican fast food in SF. Personally I am a fan of the SF or SD carne asada burrito, however the quesadillas is where it's at. There is a whole selection of sauces you can use if you want to spice things up. Sure people will hate on it only because it's not in the mission, but those folks will hate on anything that is not in the mission and clearly don't live in the Marina. read more

My go-to place for great tacos- I always get mine "Nick's way", which involves a second layer of tortilla and cheese. They do a great job of handling the many customers rest enjoy this neighborhood gem. The food is consistently great, and the staff does their utmost to accommodate the service side of the restaurant. read more

This place is amazing! We came here after a night of drinking, and we were in absolute heaven! The food was fresh, and the service was great. We had our food within minutes, and no one spoke while we devoured our food! They had a ton of different hot sauces to choose from! My only regret is that I only came here once on my trip to San Fran! My husband and I split 2 burritos and both were beyond delicious! We had the carnitas San Francisco burrito with rice, beans, pico, cheese, guac, and sour cream. We also had the chicken California burrito with french fries, cheese, pico, and we added sour cream as well! Definitely give this place a visit! You won't regret it! read more

A casual burrito/taco place that is a great deal. San Francisco burrito is great with carne asada. Everyone was very friendly and actually made an effort to let us have a a good experience at a casual restaurant. A pitcher of margaritas for 17 dollars is one of the best deals I've found in SF. Definitely recommend and hope to come back soon. Line can be a little long but goes by quickly. Vibes: 4/5 Food: 4.5/5 Customer service: 5/5 read more

The worst place anyone can ever been. They took 45 minutes to make 1 burrito which was not even good. The worst restaurant in the town. Never gonna come back and suggest everyone to stay away from this dirty place. The staff were all ignoring while I asked them my burrito read more

Excellent! We got grilled fish tacos, shrimp quesadilla and chips & salsa. They also have a wide selection of sauces. Sparkling water is a sweet bonus! Highly recommend. Def be back! Thank you! read more

One of the best places for Mexican food in SF. The food is extremely tasty and this is the joint to go out with friends or on any occasion. Their Nicks Way Quesadeas are hands down the best, I would recommend to anyone. read more

The highlight of this place wasn't really the food, but more so the convenience and ambiance. The service is fast and the food is solid. You're bound to run into everyone you know in the Marina/Cow Hollow at night, especially on the weekends. This is a perfect place to hang out before a night out with friends. The pitcher margaritas available here make everything even better! It's definitely a very youthful, fun crowd. I will definitely be back here if I'm in the neighborhood to hang out with friends. read more

I hate that this place is in the marina. In the land of no parking, tech bros (which is all of sf), and yoga pants. But the food is really good and there's free sparkling water on tap!!!!!!! They have a couple different house hot sauces that are on every table which are excellent. But they also have every other hot sauce known to man there too! The line can get really long. Even in the middle of the week. It can get to be a half hr wait just to order. They always seem understaffed. But food is delicious. My bf and I always get the chips and guac to start while we wait for our order. I tend to get the fish tacos or california burrito. read more

Really good!! Pretty sure it's the same owners as Nick's Crispy tacos. I've had tacos and a burrito from this place and I loved them both.

Decent amount of food for decent price all things considered. Popped in for lunch while visiting town and decided to make a second visit during my trip. Bummer that the chips and salsa don't come complimentary but other than that it's a nice open space, plenty of natural lighting and some limited outdoor seating if it's a nice day and not busy (only two tables outside so you'll have to get lucky otherwise). All in all would recommend if you like a standard Mexican burrito and not on the hunt for anything special read more

I love to go or dining there. Very chill spot and affordable for Marina area. Totally delish

Great food. The manager (I think he is the manager) who took our orders on was very friendly and accommodating. Will go again when I visit the bay area next time. read more

Spend 40 bucks but my husband got two burritos (with the most expensive meat and add guacamole), i got the street tacos, and he got a beer and I a horchata. He is ready to eat the second burrito and go back for breakfast he said it was so good. The service was fast and the green sauce was amazing on the street tacos! read more

I was looking for a good place cos I miss Mexican food. And finally, I found Tacko and highly recommend this place to everyone! I ordered burritos for delivery and it was as in-restaurant. So fresh and yummy. Also, I like to experiment with the style of burritos. Good option. read more

This taco place is about as good as it gets for Marina Tacos. Every time I go I have gotten the Street Taco Combo. I usually get one of each of the Carne Asada, Chicken and Carnitas. Each of the tacos came with a huge portion of meat, perfectly made tortillas and fresh cilantro and onions. The meat is all wonderfully seasoned to the point where every bite is bursting with flavor and the meat is sooooo juicy. I also never pass up the margaritas! You can order a pail in a sand toy bucket and share it with your date. Great spot for Taco Tuesday or just a casual dinner any night of the week. read more

Just superb. Great service. Fun atmosphere and ordering online was a bonus. They communicated order status and had it ready right on time

Bad-tasting burrito and guacamole with so much cilantro in them I nearly gagged on it. None of it tasted fresh. Delivered order.

As many other Yelper's have mentioned, Tacko is like Nick's Crispy Tacos with a Nantucket vibe. You can have your agua fresca with a San Diego inspired burrito, while your friend has a lobster roll and washes it down with sangria. It's a little random, but it works! I appreciate Tacko's huge menu including SoCal staples like the California burrito (stuffed with fries rather than rice) and Cape Cod favorites such as the lobster roll. You can also order tacos 'Nick's Way' which is always the best way to go. I'm a sucker for carnitas, and Tacko does carnitas well. Hot sauce junkies should also enjoy the assortment provided here. Tacolicious seems to be the neighborhood favorite among my friends, but I'm still 100% team Tacko! read more

I went here over a year ago with a friend & the food was incredibly delicious & the employees were extremely nice & super professional. WILL visit again on my next trip to the Gold Coast. read more

I have it twice and both times were fresh and flavorful. The chicken is exceptionally tender. The chips are really good- they are the thicker type, you can really bite into- CRUNCH! The Baja fish taco is huge and really good. read more

Looks cool, clean, good ambiance. But as a Mexican place, it is very mediocre. Flavor is lacking, even after putting salsa and not well balanced. I gave it the extra star for creativity. read more

Ordered for two people. We got the SF burrito, 3 tacos to split, and taco salad. So far is the best taco salad I've had in a long time. I personally don't eat meat protein, so I leaned towards this salad and it literally doesn't even need the dressing it's that good. The guacamole is generous and tasty, there's roasted corn like elote with crispy strips. Mine was ordered togo and they were still crispy by the time I received it. Granted I'm within a mile from them. But! Man! You want be disappointed. The tacos were classic and amazing and the burrito was fantastic' thank you so much! Compliments to the chef. read more
