I REALLY like Ticoz. I went there with a Groupon (wanted to check it out but the 1/2 off Groupon sealed the deal). First of all before you go, read the menu w/ all the specials. Its a bit complex but everyday there is not only a rad happy hour but also a drink item that is super cheap ALL day long.... same goes for food too! Lots of times when food/drinks are quite inexpensive ... you know they are cheap... quality/service etc. is poor.... NOT the case at Ticoz... its a $3 sangria disguised at a $10 sangria :)
The sangria was beautiful and delicious. We tried both the passion fruit and the white kiwi (passion fruit was the best!). Also got a mango mojito... also pretty and tasty. The lettuce wraps were only slightly disappointing.... once again very pretty but they had dried fruit, nuts etc so it tasted more like chicken salad in a lettuce cup.... not your typical 'mexican/asian' flavored meat. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting.
The place itself is a great mix of swanky, lounge and classy. There are chaise-like lounge chairs around the bar area and the outside seating is really lovely.... enclosed in a wrought iron fence complete with lots of foliage.
Totally going back there with or without a Groupon! I am sold!
