Tacuba Albans Reviews
We went to celebrate our cousins mini baby shower. Fernando was amazing. He was so kind and patient. My son has celiacs disease and he was so attentive to his needs. He was truly amazing and helped to make our night an awesome experience. The service and the food was superior. The birria was absolutely delicious. We had a great time and they let us enjoy with games. It was such a joyful and relaxing night. We could not be happier. Thank you again Fernando and everyone at Tacuba!!!
This is great place after work and on weekends. Great atmosphere and drinks and food to match if you enjoy seafood and cerviche, this place for you. The seafood cervical cocktail called Siete Potencias is in my opinion the best seafood cerviche in Manhattan at an amazing price of $18.00. I have spent twice that around town for seafood that did not cost the owners $5.00. Here you will get a goblet loaded with quality seafood. The octopus Toscano is loaded with octopus and a deal a $20.
This place is fantastic. The drinks are really good and well balanced. The atmosphere is so mature and welcoming. Food: I had the Carne Asada and it was sooo flavorful and juicy. Great combination of flavors for sure. A friend ordered the Enchiladas de Pollo en Mole and he had nothing but good things to say about it. Another friend ordered the Carne Asada tacos and he loved those too. Drinks: We order the De La Casa Margarita, the Refrescaritos, and the Frozen Margarita....all great choices. Strong and balanced properly. Service: Fernando is superb. I will come back to a restaurant or bar because of the service and he really enhanced my dining experience. I didn't know what to order and he understood what I was looking for which I appreciated. And he was nice! It may sound weird saying that but I'm NYC, you will run into a very cold and dry waiter and it sucks the life out of a night out. He was the opposite. Big fan of Tacuba. I have seen other reviews about the service not being great but that wasn't my experience. I recommend this place.
Stayed nearby, so stopped in for happy hour and appetizers. The bartender was great, and served up some delicious margaritas. The chicken nachos were also tasty. The vibe was chill with the front windows open for a nice refreshing breeze, and the music was perfect with great Spanish throwbacks playing!
My husband and i went there late in the evening and the front was noisy and warm. I asked for us to be seated in an air-conditioned area... and the back which was huge... was pretty, chill, and had good service. I tried some foods i had never heard of but my husband thought i might like. It was all very good. We found this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did and i hope to go back.
I have been here a couple of times and it has always been a wonderful experience. The tacos are delicious, although ones I had tried a sandwich which was good too. The seating is really good for family or date. On a sunny day there are seats outside as well as conditioned tables inside. I prefer the ones near the entrance, cool AC and open doors.
Went for taco Tuesday . Service was exceptional. Veggie Nachos were amazing . We took the fish tacos, shrimp tacos and chicken tacos - they comes in threes and you can’t just get one taco of each . The tacos were good. Not the best I had though. The shrimp was probably my favorite. The churros for dessert was not great and we would have skipped it if we had known .
With all these great reviews I had higher expectations and left disappointed. The food was fine but for the price it was nothing special. I’ve had better for less expensive. Guacamole was average. Enchiladas were just old. Avocado fries - pass on those. Environment was great and staff were friendly though!
