About this business

This casual Mexican features a vast expanse of tables in a lively interior festooned with crepe-paper streamers and fiesta decorations. Large fish tanks add even more color to the mix. Lunch hours are busy, but evenings find Paco's positively packed with a wide range of diners, from loners to family groups. In addition to burritos and customary combo plates, there's a bevy of meat and seafood selections and fresh tortillas prepared before your very eyes.

You Will Be Asked To Leave! – It was just last friday night, we met a friend for dinner. Wait was maybe 10 minutes, good sign. We had a nice meal, and two pitchers of margaritas. No sooner had we paid the bill and I had just taken my last sip of margarita when the host appeared. He asked if we could leave as there was a line outside. I have NEVER been asked to leave a restaurant and it's not like we were there for 3 hours not eating or drinking. We were embarrassed and walked out. The embarrassment ofcourse turned to anger. ... read more

Good & Bad – Used to eat at all three Paco's Tacos, went to the one on Centinela this past Sat. - My combo plate was as I remembered, my husbands carne asada was not cooked medium and was poor quality meat with no flavor at all. Margarita's were good after they corrected them (no salt means no salt). What bugged us the most was the wait time and the seating of people arriving after us (seemed like they were regulars) Host was very friendly and chatted, he seated 4 parties ahead of us and other people waiting. When you sit fo... read more

Best Mexican Food tried in LA so far – The salsa was perfect, the chips were perfect, the drinks were perfect, and the food was perfect. The tortillas are made fresh and make the meal. They have lots of unique dishes that are particular to mexican traditions giving it a little more to offer than the usual mexican restaurant. We didn't wait long for our table and the service was amazing. They even spoke spanish back to me even though I am not fluent which is always a confidence booster! The spices were so yummy in the dishes ... read more

Awesome place. Real classic Mexican food, great decor, the BEST Flour Tortillas and awesome salsa. – Go here about every week. It's a local's favorite place - gets a mixed crowd - but always a good sign when loved by LA's Mexican immigrant community and decendents! Great service from the moment you are seated. Heck, even before - they bring chips and salsa to the waiting area when the wait gets long. Busy - well - always. Expect a wait at dinner, but they move quickly and efficiently. Lunch on weekends - get there before 12:... read more

Chips are the best in Los Angeles – The tortillas were absolutely light, fresh, and delicious. I am going back today just for the tortillas. The burritos were also good. The tacos were marginal.

Tortillas for your butt – Really and truly, the best flour tortilla's north of the border and west of Arizona. They are so hot and tender with just enough salt and love put into them. I suggest the fajita's. No fancy show off fajita's here, just great flavor. The margarita's taste like margarita's. Not lemon juice with a squirt of tequila. Full on flavor at this place. Ask for the marinated carrots when, they bring the chips to your table. It is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have found in LA. The Albondigas is great,... read more

Even my boyfriend liked it! – So, after using Citysearch to help me find many quality restaurants, I decided to go ahead and join the cause. Paco's Tacos was good enough to make me want to write my first review. So here goes. First off, I read some earlier reviews about parking issues. I have to say, we had no problems with this. The restaurant is directly in front of a residential area, so I assume that there can be parking issues, but we got there pretty early in the evening (around 6ish), with 3 different cars, and we all... read more

Average – Didn't live up to reputation. Not what I expected after reading all the other reviews for this location.
