I'm way overdue to review tako, as we've been maybe 10 times since it's opening. Each and every time we have had a wonderful experience. When friends visit from out of town, this is always at the top of our list. And now for several of them, it's a must visit when they're back in Pittsburgh. I personally love the sidewalk seating for the warmer months.
The margaritas are some of the best I've had. The grapefruit and sage, the hibiscus and the absinthe and anejo are a few of my favorites. The queso fondido and guacamole are perfect starters and you truly can't go wrong with any of the taco options. What you wouldn't expect is that the poke appetizer is absolutely amazing. I've often just ordered this as my meal. The tuna is so fresh and works perfectly with the rice chips. You must order this if you haven't had it yet!
Service is always consistently friendly and accommodating. Overall, this is one of my favorite places in the city. Richard DeShantz and team can do no wrong! Keep up the great work!
