I mean what can I say that hasn't already been said? Possibly nothing but I'll review anyway because greatness deserves recognition. Tako does it right in all ways in my opinion- service, food, ambience, location...but like most people have already written it's almost always crammed with people. What can we expect when you have a smallish restaurant with all the goods?
A friend and I went before a show at Heinz Hall last night and though we attempted to wait list for a table we found it easier to grab drinks at the crowded bar. Sooner rather than later people left and we squeezed in so we had somewhere to eat our ridiculously good mushroom tacos served on a sweet wooden board. Yes, who knew? Mushroom tacos were so meaty in texture and flavor, a little spicy too. Afterwards you feel thankful that the World Health Organization put the kabash on processed meats bc you can live off these tacos for the rest of your life!
Ok and the drinks didn't disappoint either. I had the aloe+elderflower margarita followed by the grapefruit+sage margarita. Both were perfectly balanced, neither too sweet nor too savory/herbaceous.
Finally I feel like I found a taquería like the ones I've been missing since moving from LA.
