    Food was great as usual. Our servers were nice and attentive. Brought us extra chips and salsa and even gave us some to take home along with our “doggie bag”. The also took good photos of us as we were celebrating a graduation. Must try the margaritas and shrimp tacos and fish tacos. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. The 10 tacos plate is a great value and more than enough food for 4 adults. We come often and whenever we try a different Mexican place we always wish we just went to tacolicious!!

    Took them almost 30 minutes to even take our order and another 30 to get drinks. We got drinks after food. Not the vibe you’re looking for at an upscale Mexican spot. They didn’t even apologize or comp drinks or do anything to show some decent hospitality.

    Best margaritas anywhere in the Bay Area! Food is delicious and affordable. Servers are super friendly and welcoming. This is a go-to for us on a Friday or Saturday night. Good deals for happy hour if we can make it early enough.

    Great service. The food was good but a bit pricey I think. I do love the setting and environment tho. It’s really quiet and modern.

    Always fun and the food is delicious. A lively environment but not too loud. Their salads are very good, and interesting. I don’t feel sad about having eaten a salad at a Mexican restaurant!
