While eating we noticed all the customers that were seated after us got chips and salsa as soon they sat down. I asked the server were chips and salsa complimentary. He said they were but customers must ask for them. LIE! Not one of those customers who were seated after us asked for chips and salsa. It was brought to their table. Might I add, none of those customers looked like us. The restaurant isn’t that large and the tables are fairly close so you can hear everyone. Now what is really interesting. The guy serving us ended his shift sat at the bar with a customer and threw back two or three margaritas. The bartender graciously poured up the tequila for the margaritas for the guy who previously served us. Then his food came out fresh from the kitchen. Yet, our tacos were either cold or luke warm and greasy when brought to the table because the server was MIA. Another server finally brought the food out. Some of the tacos were falling apart when you bit into them because they saturated with grease. In short, seems like our server works at the restaurant for drinks and meals. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t eat there again.
Tacombi – Arlington is a sweet surprise. Tucked perfectly between Whole Foods and the Alamo Drafthouse, this cozy spot delivers big vibes in a quaint, throwback 60s-style diner setting. The décor is cute and nostalgic, and the playlist was smooth and mellow with tracks like Sabre Alley by La Lom, Why Why Why Why Why by Sault, and Honey by Drugdealer. You’ll find yourself nodding along while you eat.
I stopped by on Taco Tuesday, which means two-for-one tacos–a deal you simply can’t beat. The stars of my visit:
* Paloma – Sparkling, refreshing, lightly sweet, and honestly just pretty in the glass.
* Crunchy Fish Taco – A perfect bite of green crema, red cabbage, and pico. Balanced, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.
* Totopos – The real MVP. These chips let me know I have not been eating real corn chips my whole life. I can only eat guacamole with Totopos now.
I also tried the carne asada and shrimp tacos. They were just okay–not bad, but nothing I would order again. The rice and beans were also very basic, so I’d recommend sticking with the standout items.
The wait staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Side note: City living keeps your peripheral vision sharp like a superhero, so when I noticed a little bird on the ground inside, I definitely jumped–because, ya know! But it didn’t take away from the visit.
Tacombi is a small spot for a quick bite before or after a movie or a casual night out in Arlington. Great atmosphere, decent food, and great vibes.
Staff is friendly and attentative unless it gets very busy.
Their salsa are good. Chips are as well, except its not consistent and can sometimes be over seasoned. But when done right, they are really good. You can park in the garage next to the movie theater. Its free parking after 4pm.
The food lives up to the setting. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. From the tacos to the sides and drinks, it’s clear they care about quality and authenticity. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed and enjoyable vibe.
Whether you’re going for the incredible food or just to soak in the cool, inviting atmosphere, Tacombi is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommend!
I’d come back on Tuesdays for their BOGO deal – you can get a good deal here for less than $20. The esquites were delicious as were the black bean tacos.
As a drink, you should try the Maya Cola. It’s like normal Coca-Cola, but it’s a bit sweeter and has a slightly different twist to it. It’s hard to explain. Just try it.
For the atmosphere, it’s unique. It’s styled to be vintage. I would eat here again!
