Tacko

More Massachusetts than Michoacán, Tacko in Marina is not a run of the mill taco shop. The Nantucket theme is difficult to miss; the décor features lacquered wood and polished chrome, while the staff dressed in the colonial perennial style of white polo and khakis. Quality of ingredients is paramount; house carnitas are made from Kurobuta pork and contain no sodium, extenders or added water. USDA prime American Kobe beef is used for the carne asada. Organic and antibiotic free chicken is sourced from Fulton Valley Farm in Sonoma. Tacos prepared, “Nick’s Way” are double wrapped with a crispy corn tortilla wrapped in a soft tortilla. Far from Mexican food, yet a culinary nod to Nantucket, the Lobster Roll is made with hot butter Maine lobster and is served in a toasted hot dog bun. A notable selection of hot sauces is available, so for those looking to turn up the heat, flavor options abound. Quality ingredients, a wide array of options and a unique North Eastern take on Mexican food, it’s Tacko time!
