Tico, Boston, Massachusetts Restaurant Details

Food:

At this energetic Back Bay experience, chef-owner Michael Schlow serves an imaginative, small plate–centric menu that marries vivid Pan-Latin and New American flavors; a cool tequila list fuels the party atmosphere in the dark digs, and though you might spend a lot of money here, most agree it's worth every penny.

Food:

Very little portions for a lot of money. The tacos were bland and not very exciting all though the Ticos Mac and Cheese was excellent. The so called chorizo was not chorizo, i am an Arizona resident so i know real chorizo, was just a couple of small chunks of sausage with a little spice. $10 for 3 tiny bites. The service was good but maybe because it was not very busy. After $70 for two people we left very hungry and went to Wendys for burgers.

Food:

Great food, great location, very professional staff. Great for receptions.

Food:

Good food with excellent, interesting flavors and a dark cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately, horrible service.

Food:

Interesting menu, good service.

I've never listened to Often by The Weekend while eating dinner, but maybe I should do it often...

Went twice in one week! I was early to meet friends so I got a drink at the bar and then came later in the week for dinner.

The first time my friend got the Moscow Mule which was super fast because it came from a tap, but he said he couldn't taste much vodka, but the ginger beer was nice. I had the blood orange margarita and it was delicious. Blood orange everything is delicious, but this was extra good because of the balance. I want more salt on my rim though. Bartender was nice and quick for the margarita too even though it was quite busy (especially for a Tuesday).

The second time I tried the spicy margarita which was really spicy, and went really well with the food. Almost too spicy, but it hit that level and stayed there. I tried so many things and they were all great, but the main things I got were the lobster and avocado taco, fried cheese and fried olives. I didn't get much lobster from the taco, because it was made more like a lobster roll, I think it had mayo but I can't say for sure. I thought it would be chunks of lobster and avocado mixed, but if they wanted it to be like a lobster roll, use the avocado instead of mayo. I want to eat that now....The cheese was great and the sauce was perfect--its pomegranate! I would not expect cheese and pomegranate to be good, but it was. The fried olives are pan fried, not deep fried like I expected, but they were still great.

Service was really nice and quick. We asked for things to come out as they were ready, which I recommend.
