Great brunch spot. Great service with tasty food
The food and drink (tacos and margaritas) were excellent. Our server was attentive and kind, however, the maitre d' was incredibly rude to our group and to most guests who entered the door. He acted as if everyone who entered the door was a bother to him and treated most customers as such. He shoved a hand sanitizer bottle in our faces and became noticeably irritated when we declined (we brought our own hand sanitizer.) He cut us off mid sentence when we asked about the status of our table. Once seated, he stomped around the restaurant glaring at everyone (customers and staff), making the wait-staff noticeably uncomfortable. When we asked to speak to the manager we were told that this same person was also the manager on duty. I understand that we can all have a bad day, but this was on a different level. We love this restaurant, but will not be returning to Tico for quite some time.
Very very fun and friendly staff. Love the food and drinks for brunch! Thank you!
Our server (Lawrence I believe was his name) was amazing. The combo of Asian and Mexican food was great. Cocktails were fresh & delicious. 10/10 will be back again!!!
Great food & terrific service!
The food is good, a great combination of Latin food and Japanese, great sushi rolls and awesome carne asada. The cocktail menu is very good. I was disappointed since we could not use our Opentable points, as promised on Opentable website , but they were nice deducting our first drinks as comp. I would recommend clarifying the use or a better communication between the restaurant and Opentable. What's the point of a perk advertised if you can not enjoy it? I understand the situation restaurants are going through now but you can't advertise that you take Opentable perks and then deny it once you are at the restaurant. Overall experience was good , I would return
Our server was so helpful and nice. The sushi was AMAZING. Definitely would return again
This was a terrible experience. I used to come here often with friends and family but I will never be returning. The service was terrible. Our waiter never checked on us, he did not refill our water, etc. The food was awful (we got fish tacos) and they were extremely dry and bland. We also ordered a side of potatoes that came out 15 minutes after we had finished our meal. Also, after redoing their menu, the options are far worse than they used to be and not good. At the end I politely told the manager I was disappointed with our service that evening, and he was unbelievably rude and completely brushed it off without offering a single ounce of care or concern. Typical of a privileged white man and I am a minority woman. It was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I will never return here. Horrible experience.
The food was cold and it took forever to get some orders it felt rushed with the time limit they give you
This place was amazing! Our waiter was very engaging and helpful with our experience.
This place rocks! We did sushi and tacos. The sushi was fresh and the specialty rolls super creative! Steak tacos took me straight back to Costa Rica!
Absolutely loved Tico as always! The employees are always the nicest and take care of everyone as if it were all of our birthdays.
Great service, great food, seated quickly and knowledgeable wait-staff
We were not fans of the sushi here. It was overpriced for the quality of the Sushi.
Food so good I will definitely have to go back. Waiter did not seem as familiar with the Nama menu. Other than that overall nice experience.
Not a bad brunch option. Atmosphere was great, service was nice. Most of the food seemed to be a bit under seasoned, to the point we had to request hot sauce, butter, salt, etc to add. Overall I would go back.
This restaurant is seriously overpriced. I ordered a sushi roll that was not special at all. I've honestly had better tasting sushi at a grocery store. I also ordered a margarita, which is very small by the way. Bill was $38 after tip and tax. I still cannot believe I paid that much, and the ambiance was quiet, barely anyone was there. My friend was turning 21, I regret coming to this place.
Menus selection limited and too much pork on menu. It’s not the Ticos it used to be.
Staff was great! Service was fast and we were allowed to take our time and not rushed for brunch.
The service was awful. We got our food before drinks. The food was not well seasoned and was lackluster. Drinks were bad. I’ve been to this place 4 times and it has progressively gotten worse as time goes on. They should invest less in the ambiance (which is nice) and more on the things that will make people come back like...good food, drink, and a wait staff that hustles. Cannot imagine how this place would do post-pandemic.
They switched the menu since I had been there last - but food was still delicious. Service was great.
The kitchen shouldn’t close right at 10 when you have reservations for 10pm
Tonight was the worst night. The staff and managers were only interested in serving tables with white customers. When I spoke up I was escorted out after they paid for the meal. Black people stay away.
I I always have an amazing time. Me and my friends always enjoy brunch here. It’s a great environment if you want to always so nice food is great and the unlimited mimosas Are always excellent. Be back soon.
We encountered many issues while on this visit. There were several issues with the order mix-ups as well as the bill being incorrect.
I was excited to try this place but, I'm not sure I will be returning. This was for my birthday celebration.
Service was excellent and the space was cutely decorated and had music playing which added to the fun atmosphere. The bottomless mimosas are excellent. The only con is that the food isn’t great and there’s a limited selection for brunch, but you have to participate in bottomless food and can’t order a la carte. A bad deal for people with restricted diets (vegetarians, vegans, etc).
A decent fixed menu for their bottomless brunch. Definitely a fun, energetic environment. They do a pretty good job adjusting to COVID and making sure people are aware of their rules and spacing out tables.
Excellent service- food was great and prepared quickly.
Brunch was amazing...so many options for such a good deal
Service was Great and food was delicious
We went for brunch. It was delicious. We’ve already been back twice!
It was an awkward experience at Tico. The restaurant was pretty empty and quiet, yet service was very inattentive and poor which did not make sense. We got our drink orders placed, and once they arrived we proceeded to carry on with our appetizer and entree orders. I along with another guest of mine had went ahead and requested for our apps to hit the table before the meal, however they came out with our entrees. Our server, Ellis did not check in with us at all throughout the duration of us eating. I would have liked to have ordered more, and check the status of my second drink I never received, however she was no where to be found. At this point we were just really over it and wanted to leave. Will not be returning.
Overall- Slow and horrible service.
I will not be dining here again.
Great time!!! Loved the Ultimate joy
Would not recommend the brunch. Service wasn’t the greatest.
Great brunch spot! Chaveale is amazing!
The food variety was good, but the flavor was bland on most dishes. The potatoes were my favorite, full of flavor with the aïoli.
Service was incredible! Lawrence our waiter was very friendly and very helpful in assisting us! The food and drinks were amazing! The salsa was great and the carne asada was outstanding! Will come again!
Food was good needed a little more seasoning but overall it was good service got a little slow after a while but staff was friendly great place for brunch
Showed up exactly 4 min before my reservation & was told that have to wait until reservation time, then took awhile for actual service to happen(14 min) and since was brunch for 1.5 hours every min counts. However once the ball got rolling the food was great + great drinks.the spiked cold brew is actually coffee + beer which was awful but everything else was wonderful!
