Tikila Tacos & Mezcal

Tikila was definitely my favorite food stop during my quick trip to Wake Forest! They have a great ambiance, especially on the patio! There's a fun little neon sign and string lights. Plenty of seating inside and outside. We placed our order at the counter and then went to the bar to get a drink, service at both stations was friendly and efficient.We definitely wanted to dine on the patio and it had just the right vibes. They brought our food out to us quickly. I was excited for the nachos, which were plentiful and delicious, but the birria pizza was the star of the show! Excellent presentation on everything, the birria pizza had a perfect meat to cheese to tortilla ratio and the consommé was really good.This is a neighborhood spot I'd visit weekly!

Ambiance is island the bar is popular Service was nice The Food grade was a 99The place seems popular order to go and people having speciality drinksThey have a self service drink stationsThe food I have been here a couple of times butThis last time I was disappointedMyself and my companion ordered the birria nachos, shrimp taco and chicken flautes The Flautas were crispy and well-seasoned and they were plated nicely.The nachos were delicious according to my companion but before we left my companion got queasy and had to excuse themselves and go to the lavatory and it was unfortunate for them because they had really enjoyed their experience. They are sure that the food made them sick. We are not saying this will be your experience but it was ours not yours.(This was their first meal of the day so no it could not have been anything else)

I visited Tikila on Monday with a friend, and right from the start, I was confused by the decor. It's supposed to be a Mexican-inspired restaurant, yet it had Pacific Islander theme--nothing made sense. The space felt cold and uninviting, with hard surfaces everywhere, no cushions. The menu was redundant, offering the same meats prepared three different ways without any clear descriptions of what the meats were or how they were seasoned--a missed opportunity, really.I ordered the Birria nachos and a shrimp Baja taco. The food came out quickly, but oddly enough, it was lukewarm. I was starving, so I started eating, but by the time I was halfway through, the nachos had turned soggy, and I had to call it quits. I decided to move on to my taco, but my stomach had other plans. I suddenly felt a sharp cramp, so I sat up, thinking it might be gas. But it wasn't. I ended up rushing to the restroom. The only thing I had eaten earlier that day was popcorn, so I'm certain it was the food. I had to cut my evening short and head home to recover. It was absolutely food poisoning, no doubt about it, and I won't be going back.

Great outdoor vibes and dog friendly. The choices were good and the portion sizes were huge. We will definitely need to come back and try some of their margaritas and tacos next time.

The absolute best staff!! Super friendly and helpful! I did not get this particular staff member's name, but he came to buss our table and bring us to-go containers, but he had the best personality and hospitality! Again, entire staff were a gem. Now on to the food and drinks.....salmon tacos....yummy! Rice and beans.....yummy, chicken street tacos....yummy! Last but certainly not the least...the drinks (margs) were super strong! Slide in order at the counter and then hit the bar! This all makes for a perfect combination!! Loved it!

This was my 1st time here! The restaurant is cute, but the chairs aren't comfortable but tolerable! I got a shrimp taco, it was good! A fish taco, also good not sure if I was supposed to dress them up but they were both good! The side of fries was enough for 2 people and reminded me frozen fries with either a beer batter coating or something but they were delicious! The service was great! Friendly and fast! This is a great spot for lunch and since they have a bar it's probably great for dinner and will try themAgain!

Adorable and delicious! such a fun theme yet very casual spot. I got the Birria tacos with some chips and queso and they were delicious. It was definitely enough for me to have leftovers which was nice. They have a large menu with tons of Birria options which made me happy. I can't wait to come back for the Birria pizza and some drinks!!

Absolutely love Tikika! We love their tacos, especially the fish tacos. Great service, delicious food, the cutest decor and all around great experience every time! Plenty of parking, too!

Right off the bat, this place is clean. The service is excellent and food was great. Very filling and inexpensive lunch! So impressed I'm writing this as I still sit here. Lunch for two tacos and a soda was under $12 and it was very filling. Staff promptly brought my food to my table after I ordered and twice someone came over to see if everything was good. I'd highly recommend coming. They have several other menu items as well as mixed drinks. Was happy I chose to visit here when I was in Wake Forest.

Great place for authentic Mexican food! Located in The Shoppes at Heritage Village in Wake Forest, it's central to all of Wake Forest and easy enough to get to from Raleigh and Knightdale. It's well lit but has a cantina feel. It's a walk up order for food and drinks, but has a good amount of space for tables and the service is fast and friendly. The drinks are great, too. Looking forward to the opening of their 2nd location in Knightdale soon!
