It has a nice ambiance, intimate, and suitable for conversation. We went on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was half full. We ordered the Short ribs, steak frites, and hamburger. All of us enjoyed our meals. The meat was done well, and portion sizes were good. It is an older restaurant with a classic charm. Service was on point. We celebrated a birthday and ordered the 13-layer chocolate cake. It was a fun birthday treat, and it was delicious, not too sweet. There was plenty to take home afterwards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and exceeded my expectations.

The bacon and halloumi are a bit salty, and we waited for a little bit longer. But overall experience was outstanding as we liked the ambiance and the service.

The staff at Mexhico made our special event wonderful! We had a large group of 12 and they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was great, especially the fresh guacamole and tacos! They had live music and really put lots of thought into the details of the celebration. I will say it is an eclectic experience with loud music so be prepared for this vibe. Overall, everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend Mexhico for your special events :)

Great experience at Tacotaco! Our table was ready to go when we came even when it was busy, the staff were wonderful throughout, constantly checking in on us and providing suggestions as it was our first time there. Food was AMAZING - specifically the beef birria and jerk chicken tacos as well as the jalapeno poppers. Will definitely be back, good to know they have a happy hour!
