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.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - T A.Oakland, CA115890332Apr 16, 20241 check-in
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 12, 2024
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!)Helpful 14Thanks 3Love this 12Oh no 0 - Mar 24, 2024
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 :)Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 5, 2024Updated review
Man Tacubaya, my opinion of you has drastically changed since my first few visits from years ago. I have to say, I absolutely love your new location and interior. The colors and dining area is more inviting and large. Another plus is the second floor seating as well as the porch seating for those that was to admire a lovely day outside.
At times the service can be hit or miss but I contribute that to the lunch rush and how chaotic it can be. However, I've experienced good service more so than the latter. Especially if you sit at the bar and because of this, I really enjoy their Paloma. Also, My favorite meal is their Children's quesadilla with steak bites. It's a great size to share and I absolutely love the cheese that they use. The tacos are also very delicious and I appreciate their in house tortillas.Helpful 131Thanks 28Love this 113Oh no 0Feb 21, 2015Previous reviewOn a mere chance that an internal source Tacubaya has been pestering me about the validity of my previous review versus a picture that I posted on my second time around via yelp mess., this one's dedicated to you.
I ordered the cheviche on a late later noon, purposely to miss the lunch rush and possibly get in before the dinner bustle. Perfect timing. As I was making the order, I noticed the cooks making some fabulous chicken and decided to add a chicken taco for a later snack (which was a good idea).
The cheviche was alright. Not too fond of the partially soft chips, I can assume that the chips are made in house however I expected crispy chips at the least. The sabao was nice and zesty. The dish overall was A-Ok.
When I got home I was able to consume the cold taco after two hours of ordering. I must admit that meat was tasty, lemony too so I can't complain.Feb 3, 2015Previous reviewWhat is this thing called "chilaquiles" and what is so great about it?
Parking sucks and if you park next to the restaurant the parking meters are on the prowl with their selfie sticks connected to white chalk. Two hours are the max and I've never felt so much anxiety as I did that day. People will stalk you for your spot and they will hold up traffic on that one lane road for it too... and if you're lucky, you wont hear the irritation of other drivers honking down yonder out of frustration.
The line in the restaurant was long. I noticed no urgency what-so-ever in taking anyone's order. One woman would stop what she was doing, look at the line, and then walk away from her register while the other register guy casually conversed with each. one. of. his. customers.
I sat down at the bar next to an empty seat and it had left over plates and trash. No one cleaned up the mess, even if they were cleaning up plates and trash a few seats down the bar. Yea no.. I kept nudging the trash away from me every few minute to create enough space.
I got the chilaques thinking that I'd find some miraculous plate instead I found a plate filled with chips that tasted like soggy Doritos and scrambled eggs. I was not pleased with my meal and felt as though the meal was not even close to being sub par, at the minimal, in my experience with mexican/spanish meals. - May 6, 2024
Simply not good tacos. Maybe other food is better here like the margaritas but the tacos were not good. The shell was bad. The chicken one was so dry and odd. The fish one was better. The service was confusing, they waited literally said "here's this and that" when delivering our drinks and we had to guess which one was which. The wrong food was given to the wrong person. The inside is cute though and it's a good family vibe or casual friends bite.

My family and I have been coming here for YEARS, ever since were at their former spot across the plaza. Tacubaya is one of the better places to eat when visiting 4th St.
Things I'd recommend:
* Fideo
* Papas Con Crema
* Taco Al Pastor
* Taco De Pescado
* Churros
There's a lot of seating and a full bar. Half service format. Fun for happy hour!
That being said, the price tag is high for Mexican food. If you're in the area, I'd recommend dining here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 27, 2024
I ordered two carne asada tacos with chips and salsa. The chips and salsa came with three types of salsa a pico type with cucumber a salsa verde and a warm chipotle type salsa. The tacos were great. The meat was good quality the to go box was perfect for tacos. Service was friendly. Someone came in and asked if they could use the bathroom and that was approved. Ambiance was a bit boring but it was Saturday at noon. A lot of families. I will go back for happy hour. The drink menu looked appealing and I bet it would be more lively. Decor is colorful and bright.

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.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0
