Been coming here for over 20 years since the kids were toddlers. Doesn't disappoint and has the same casual family vibes even though we're now empty nesters. Food remains fresh and high quality. We do miss the fideo pasta dish though. Best kept secret is the public restroom.

Am almost positive I had an al pastor taco here a while ago, but if I had seen pineapple tidbits IN my pastor, I never would have gone back! Automatic fail when I see pineapple in my al pastor. I ordered the chillaquilles and my friend had a breakfast sandwich that advertised nopales that were really poblanos. When I leave more than half the chillaquilles on my plate and my friend has to scrape off every inch of poblano because she's allergic to chiles, that's no bueno for me. All the food lacks spice. It's probably due to its location. Their chips are pretty amazing though.

I've been wanting to try Tacubaya for quite some time now on 4th Street, Berk. What a fun treat! If you haven't visited 4th Street in a while, there are a few new shops/restaurants to check out. Tacubaya has been a staple for a bit of time and upon walking in, you're greeted by vibrant colors, atmosphere, and beautiful indoor dining aesthetics. This is an order-at-register type spot with a wide array of fresh Mexican dishes and flavor options. Our party ordered fish tacos, guac & chips, ensalada de primavera, and chicken enchiladas. To note, the plates are mostly served a la carte, so def. something to keep in mind if you're with a large group and want to explore your tastebuds! Besides lunch, they also serve brunch options, happy hour, dinner, dessert, and a beautiful beer/wine/cocktail menu. The food was delicious, enchiladas were clean and tastefully done. Huge fan of table guac and this didn't disappoint. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu and with the weather starting to improve, sit outside. Plenty of street parking and a lot outside of restaurant (does get busy, so plan ahead!)

Love it here! We've been coming here for years and it's been perfect for a quick bite, Friday night dinner, Sunday brunch, literally whenever. Delicious strong margs, and traditional flavors.

I'm working on a jobsite down the street. Came in here for a couple tacos. I walk in, they see me and just start chatting with each other. Then I go sit at the bar instead of stand at the register, they still see me. They look at me with a smug confused look on their face ... Can I order I ask. The gave me the most unwelcoming presence that I just bounced. If their food is good, I won't know cause I refuse to go in there with service like that. I will be letting my crew know too. 2 chicks behind the bar. Shame on u.

Pretty solid food in the 4th Street area! Rarely a wait. Nice indoor and outdoor seating options. I like their chilaquiles. Though it's always a toss up if you're gonna get green or red sauce ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Still great! Margaritas are yummy as well :)

Ordered 2 street tacos and chicken tortilla soup. It was comfort food, but $38.00? Definitely paid for the location setting too. And no free chips and salsa.

I've been going to Tacubaya for brunch on the weekends for years. It never disappoints. Fluffy scrambled eggs with chorizo, chilaquiles, delicious sopes, these are my favorites, but everything they make is fresh, authentic, and incredibly delicious. They create deep, intense flavors that don't feel heavy or overpowering. Even after a big brunch, I don't feel weighted down or sluggish. Just really happy. And if you stayed out a little late the night (or nights) before, it's the perfect hangover cure. Brunch on weekends can get busy, but don't worry. Lines go fast, and before you know it, you're looking at a big plate of chilaquiles that will satisfy, guaranteed. The service is excellent. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. If you aren't familiar with a menu item or ingredient, just ask. Everyone is genuinely nice and the food just can't be beat.

About 5plus years ago this was an amazingly excellent restaurant. Everything on the menu was prepared to perfection and it was wonderful. When they moved locations the quality declined dramatically. The chili relleno is still very good because it must be made fresh but other things I've ordered like the guac and soup are not freshly made and are just not good anymore. Super disappointing. Be careful what you order.

The food came out really fast. Great place to bring kids. Very casual and laidback. The food was very good and the service was easy. You order at the counter and the food was brought out to us within 5 minutes.

As a regular customer who frequents Tacubaya once a week, I have always enjoyed the food and service at this establishment. However, my recent experience has left me extremely disappointed. I placed an order and arrived promptly at 8:05 PM to pick it up, only to be told by a younger lady at the cashier that my food had been thrown away because they were closing. Despite there being at least 10 customers still in the seating area, she adamantly refused to give me my order, even though I could see it sitting on the shelf behind her. This kind of treatment is unacceptable, especially considering my loyalty to the restaurant. I have never encountered such disregard for customer service at Tacubaya before, and I am deeply disappointed. As a result, I will not be returning, and I will be sure to inform my neighbors of my negative experience. It's truly disheartening to see a place I once enjoyed tarnish its reputation in such a manner.
