We really enjoyed our time at Takito Street. We tried, and loved, the carne asada, Al pastor, barbacoa, and shrimp tacos. My favorite margaritas are cucumber and pineapple Serrano chili. We also loved the Agua Fresca’s in the mango and strawberry flavors. Our server was awesome and they had great recommendations. We will return soon.

One of my favorite taco places. Would love to see some of the tacos from the other locations that closed make it to this menu.

Menu is very compact, focused mainly on tacos...but there was a lot of variety to be found. We had the shrimp tacos and the barbacoa (brisket) tacos. The shrimp were very light and flavorful, some fried onions provided a nice texture. The barbacoa were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and very rich. We also ordered the cilantro rice and chipotle beans, these were add-on options...those two items can also be ordered as sides so I'm assuming the add-on was just a smaller portion. Two regular classic margaritas completed the meal, and were half price for happy hour (currently Mon-Thurs 4pm-6pm). Really a nice, light dinner.

Good food and excellent service. We ate inside because it was quieter than sitting next to the street. Big open windows made it very comfortable. The waitress was accommodating and attentive.

Sitting inside next to one of our convertible windows is my fav place at Takito Street bc you get vibe energy from the restaurant and street! Glad you liked our food and service too. Look forward to welcoming back. When we see you again?

Menu is simple and creative! Food is delicious. We definitely loved the sishito peppers queso fundido! It is amazingly delicious! Margaritas are well worth! And the dancing lessons were so much fun!
