Chris HMarch 24, 2013Didn't blow me away. Chicharones were probably the best part of the meal. They arrive freshly fried and still crackling
Abigail KofflerJune 25, 2015The food is good (especially the salsa) but the atmosphere is oh so pretentious and service meh. Wouldn't return
Russell HirschornNovember 12, 2014Really expensive and they dont have the pastrami taco. Pistachio guac was good but nothing that great.
Nick R.January 22, 2012Looking forward to the EV outpost of Alex Stupak's successful WV taco venture. Should be open in Feb 2012.
Rachel MercierJanuary 16, 2013I wanted to be psyched about this spot but was disappointed. Guac is tasty but wayyyyy too expensive for what you get.

"Fast great service! Salsa was refilled without even asking! Great guac and tacos (had nopal pros and carnitas)."

"Dishes to try include falafel tacos with hummus, Hokkaido sea urchin on toast, pastrami tacos with mustard seed salsa, and tempura fish with lime mayo. There’s guacamole and the seven salsas, too."

"I try to visit Tacombi whenever I am nearby. I love their Tako, it is delicious. They have outdoor tables which are mostly busy and better to reserve in advance."
