Excellent all around!! Chicken tacos are amazing! Sangria was a bit watery though and a bit too heavy on the alcohol...stick with the margaritas! More

I always get the same order when we get take out from this place, so I can't speak for anything but their cheese and beef enchiladas, which are tasty! Not much else to say. Just good food. I like to get 1 beef and 1 cheese enchilada because their flavors meld really nicely together. More

I've been coming here for years. Love getting in one of the booths in the back. The tortillas are hand made and super fresh. The chips are soooooo good, we have to have the waiter take the basket away. The carne asada is to die for and the Tex Mex wet carne asada burrito is the bomb..... More

Loved the atmosphere and the food! Best flour tortillas I ever ate! Appetizers/guac/salsa/chips were exceptional. The huge burritos and the pork carnitas were "to die for"! Try it.....you won't be sorry! More

Been going to Paco's Tacos for over 25 years. The fresh handmade tortillas are great. Chips and marinated carrots and onions are brought right away to your table as you decide what to order. Service is good, but be prepared to wait for a table. The host will gladly bring you a nice cold margarita while you wait! If you... More

Good Mexican restaurant. It's a little small so expect a wait. More

I like the one on Sawtelle, but the one on Manchester is good too. I am tempted to go, and just get drinks and eat the tortillas and butter and call it a night. More
