      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!)

      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 :)

      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.

      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.

      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.
