What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the creative taco options (try the shot-and-a-beer braised chicken or the baja-style fish), the fresh cocktails, and the consistently upbeat, welcoming service. Many note that the ambiance is perfect for pre-show excitement, and the location is a big plus—easy to reach from major venues and public transit. The happy hour specials are also a fan favorite.

Areas for Improvement

Tacolicious can get busy during peak hours, especially on weekends, so reservations or arriving early is a smart move. Portions aren’t huge, so if you’re super hungry, consider ordering a few extra items. And while the lively atmosphere is part of the charm, it’s not the best pick if you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dinner.

The Bottom Line

Tacolicious is a festive, flavor-packed stop that hits all the right notes for concert-goers wanting great food, strong drinks, and a fun start to the night.
