| - I'm going to do my best to describe the meal we just had at Tako, but I certainly won't do it justice. Suffice it to say, it was one of the most perfect experiences dining out that we've had in a long, long time.
We knew coming in to not over order tacos like we did the last time, which put us in good shape. To start we had the classic guacamole and the Poke appetizer. The guacamole was as good as the last time with some homemade, still warm, tortilla chips.
The Poke? One of the best appetizers we've ever had. It was served with a spicy soy dressing, whipped lime and guacamole (which we weren't expecting). You eat it over some rice crackers and it melted in your mouth.
For our tacos, we decided on the bistec and the special Korean fried chicken which were both incredible. The couple next to us overordered like we did on or first visit, you could see it in their face immediately.
We were drinking beer and a cucumber margarita that had my wife salivating... After dinner we had a pour it Reposado to go with our sangrita. They didn't have sangrita last time we were here, so I'm glad they added it to the menu (as their manager promised).
Which led us to dessert. Fresh cheesecake served in a bowl with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, and a lime (strawberry?) sauce. I'm not even that big on cheesecake, but once again, perfection. It didn't have any "crust" or "crunch" element but the fresh berries and mint were fantastic.
It was a special occasion, but the bill was only $100, which for what we got was incredibly reasonable. I booked the reservations 3 weeks in advance, so plan ahead of you want an early enough reservation. They definitely cater to couples of two, as opposed to parties.
