Tacos El Tucan

This is the best I’ve had in the Bay Area! Yes, the lines and wait time can be long depending on the time of day. I lucked out this time and had my food within about 5 minutes. I will say though that I have waited 20 minutes before and it’s worth the wait. I always get the carne asada tacos. I tried a chicken taco this time. Pretty good. Nothing beats the asada though! I highly recommend this place!

I got one quesabirria and two shrimp tacos and they were delicious. The only downside was I waited 20 minutes for them. I really wanted to order more but didn’t want to wait. So order a lot, the first time. My taco also came with only one tortilla, which I assume is part of the Tijuana style.

The place is popular and has a small amount of parking. There’s nice, outdoor heated seating but no in-shop seating.

My new favorite taco place and would recommend if you have time to burn, but wait times for your food are quite long. Their red tacos with adobada are my favorite, and the chicken is a solid second. Their salsas are great, especially the roasted tomato salsa (middle one), and the complimentary curtido too.

Fantastic tacos. Possibly the best Mexican food I've had in the Bay Area. Their red tacos and red burritos are incredible - massive, filled with melted cheese, and wonderfully grilled meats. I'd highly recommend going with half steak and half chorizo.

Their prices are totally reasonable too. My only complaint is that it can take quite a while for the food to be prepared. My suggestion is to order online ahead of time and then drop in to pick up.
