TicoFood YES- Music-NOAs before, the food is wonderful, the service great- but the selection and volume of music alas is geared toward college students.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat food andand uniqueFirst time but we will go back. Lobster avocado tacos were very good. Nice outdoor area with sun as well
as shade. Service was pleasant and very fast. Great location too.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious small platesYou should really go to Tico with a minimum of four people, because you're going to need that many people to eat all of the small plates you want to try. We've been there twice and have never made it past the tacos and small plates, so I can't speak for the entrees, but everything that we've had is amazing. On the weekends the bar is packed and the house is full - we went on a Tuesday night and things were much quieter, with the food coming out almost a bit too fast to relax and enjoy it. The pace slows down perfectly on busier nights. The tequila cocktail list is also fun and the drinks are delicious. This is one of our favorite places, and with al fresco season here and their great patio, we will be back often!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMBrunchHave attended 2 brunches here - came specifically for fundraising events (Catching Joy) - would definitely come back!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat patio!Ate lunch out on the patio.

Very attentive to my needs and dietary restrictions. She knew the menu well and helped me make excellent selections. I didn't like the cost value. Small plates are very small and pricey4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMJust as good the second time aroundSecond time at Tico and the food was just as interesting and good. Everything tastes fresh and the atmosphere is hopping, which I like but everyone may not. Worth a stop if you are in the Back Bay.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMHave eaten here several timesHave eaten here several times and it has never disappointed - the food is truly delicious with less emphasis on butter, cream and cheese than some other tapas places. Service is always good and it the atmosphere is cool, which makes it a fun night out. Reasonable prices too! We will definitely be back!3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI really enjoyed my dinnerI really enjoyed my dinner at Tico, it was my third time eating there. The food is delicious, the servers were friendly and not pushy, and the drinks were great. The music was good, the noise level was really "energetic" so that it's loud enough that you don't feel like you're being the loud one but also not so loud that you can't have a conversation. Other people there were young professionals having dinner and cocktails. Good scene.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurant for the youngerGreat restaurant for the younger crowd! The service was amazing. It seemed as if there was three people helping us, one for food, one for drinks, and one to fill water and clean up plates. All the small dishes we tried were great! We ordered 6 dishes and a desert and we were comfortably stuffed.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Monday night date! FabulousBest Monday night date! Fabulous food and service...going back for dinner there next week.1/21/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome margaritas and unique foodThe blood orange margarita at Tico is top notch. All of the small plates that were shared at my table were eaten up in a flash! Each dish was delicious. The table favorite was the cauliflower! Service was super, too. I would highly recommend Tico.1/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
