| - This was my second time coming to Tako, both great experiences. We came in around 8:30 on a Wednesday with 4 people, no reservations. We were told the earliest available table would be at 10:15, but got a text about ten minutes later and we're seated immediately. I would definitely suggest trying to make a reservation in advance. The ambiance of the place is great, the bar is beautiful as is the mural that the restaurant has become famous for. I started with a classic margarita, which I highly recommend, it was quite good. Also good are the watermelon margaritas. We then got classic guacamole and a poke bowl for the table. The guacamole was only ok, I found it to be overpriced for the amount that you are getting and overall lacking in taste. The poke bowl, however, was amazing and is a must try. I got the chorizo tacos while others at my table got the pollo asada, Korean short rib, and lamb tacos. The short rib tacos were good, solid 7/10 and the pollo asada were a solid 8/10. The chorizo tacos really stood out, the meat was delicious and the fried egg really made it worth it and even more so delicious, a 9/10. However, the lamb tacos stole the show. The meat was perfect and the cucumber with mint sauce just made the Taco unforgettable. The lamb tacos are a MUST TRY. We ended the meal with a tres leches cake, which I honestly found forgettable compared to the tacos themselves. I give this place a definite 5/5, it truly lives up to the hype. Pictured are the chorizo tacos and classic margarita.
