Texiko Tequila

Texiko Tequila
4.5 / 5 (619 reviews)

Description

Texiko pairs handcrafted margaritas and bold smokehouse tacos in a compact Hamden spot. Generous, well-seasoned meats — birria, smoked plates and a popular poutine — shine alongside inventive cocktails and a cozy indoor/outdoor vibe perfect for date night. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though occasional order errors, inconsistent sides (rice/beans) and guacamole temperature have been reported. Limited parking, door drafts and no reservations may affect comfort; overall a flavorful, slightly pricey destination for tequila and meat lovers.

In search for the Birrias tacos that were trending on Tik Tok lead me to Texiko. I'm so glad it did. The trend is not hitting where I live. The drive was worth it. The menu is found on a QR scan code or you could look online. We started with the poutine and brisket. I requested the fries to be extra crispy. They were phenomenal. It had the right amount of gravy to fry ratio.. We ordered the smoke plate, the Birrias tacos and ribs. Ribs are only served on Friday and Saturday. The smoke plate had smoked chicken thighs, pulled pork, sliced brisket, beans, rice, coleslaw, plus 3 different sauces and Texas toast (it's just Texas type of bread toasted) Birrias are basically a taco with pulled meat instead of ground meat. There is limited parking in the front but more in the back. Reservations are not taking. My camera is not the best and does not do justice to how good the food looks in person.

Oscars famous made to order Guac was served freezing cold out of the fridge with stale chips should have just left at that point but ordered my meal anyway. The Mahi Mahi tacos were ok but the lime wedges served were so old and cold when squeezed produced no juice at all. My fiancé asked for passion fruit margaritas and twice got the original even the bill stated passion fruit. I asked for extra napkins and they were thrown at me over my shoulder when i wasn 't looking I 've heard good things but after my experience i won 't go back and for $111.00 i was really expecting better I 'll just stick with Mikro which i know is always amazing!!!

I won a gift certificate to Texiko but they would not honor it, after bar tender laughed at me, he then said that he'd make up for this in another way.The bill came and nothing.
