Paco’s Tacos

A coworker of mine brought their breakfast tacos to work one morning and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. The eggs were perfectly done… I like my eggs very well done in a taco so it doesn’t make the tortilla too soggy. The cheese that they used was completely melted and slightly creamy, and the bacon was good quality bacon… not the thin crispy pre-​made kind you just throw in the microwave for a few seconds. Aside from the taco itself, the options of sauces and salsas were also delicious! The only reason why I’m not giving them 5 stars is because I haven’t tried any of their other food, but I definitely recommend the breakfast tacos!

The tacos and the service are both great! It’s a smaller place, but the decorations are cool – great spot for breakfast!

Pacos is the bomb. I have never had anything here that wasn’t great. They are always friendly and helpful as well. The outdoor space is nice in the summer. The indoor space can get a little loud due to the wood floors so I recommend if you see a small child inside, go outside. Their selection of salsas are great and if you’re feeling under the weather their tortilla soup is amazing. Only downside is they are closed Monday’s

These are the most delicious taco’s in all of Austin. I am extremely picky when it comes to any type of Mexican food, but I cannot rave enough about this place! I highly recommend, Paco’s Big man burrito. So delicious!!!

Scallop and Mango tacos: need I say more? This place beats Torchy’s Taco’s any and every day of the week on taste, price, and ambiance.
Recommend Paco’s Pick, Hook’em, and La Vieira.

Not bad not bad at all! Indulged in the attitude slider, which is a mini beef patty topped with chorizo, cheese, chipotle mayo and pico (which I subbed out for avocado). Sliders were on a semi sweet fresh miniature bun and were super yum! They came with a side of queso, which didn’t have much added flavor but it’s melted cheese so who can complain? I’ll be back to this little divy taco shack!

Paco’s Tacos are awesome and cheap for a good size filled taco. The choices they have for tacos are good with a good variety of ingredients in the tacos, such as the Hook’Em with smoked Brisket, chipolte BBQ, homemade coleslaw and ciltrano. The brisket is smoked with charred pieces which helps give more of a smoking taste, it is tender and moist. The Carne Guisada taco is tasty, with its flavor gravy, that is spiced just right, not too greasy or water. The beef tips were moist and tender and nice big chunks too. Also in the Carne Guisada taco was pico de gallo, which was diced with the right veggies, onions, jalapenos, and tomatoes.
I like the fact that you can build your own taco with as many ingredients as you like, and for the extra ingredients they are only $.35 cents! That is pretty cheap, because most places charge $.50 for extra ingredients. For my own taco, I had Eggs, potatoes, bacon and peppers. The potatoes are nice and chunky, the way potatoes should be in a breakfast taco, the bacon is greasy and crisp too its chopped into small strips so you get a bite of bacon throughout the taco. For the peppers, they are sliced and mixed in with the eggs, it gave the taco some good spiceness and it was a full size taco where the ingredients were falling out!
The queso is ok, I think it is the big block of cheese that you melt and Rotel tomato and peppers from the can just all mixed together. I wish that Paco’s would add more of their own spices and mixes to the cheese to make it more of their own style. The queso is pretty much bland a do it yourself queso at home. So Paco’s if you read this can you make an adjustment to the queso where its more flavor?
Overall the breakfast here is awesome and tasty with lots of ingredients to choose from for build your own tacos with a really good price and is filling too!

OK so I know everybody likes this place but it’s pretty expensive and it’s really not that great.
My wife loves tacos more than anybody I know. We lived on the street and we won’t even go here. I think that says it all.
Sorry Paco’s

Paco’s is a family owned restaurant with great breakfast tacos and even better service.
The parking is a bit of a challenge, but I’ve never NOT been able to find parking here. You can’t go wrong with any of the breakfast tacos, but they also have enchiladas, migas, sliders and burgers and other creative spins on Mexican dishes.
I love this place. Sit inside during the summer; sit outside during the fall, winter and spring.

I have only been here a couple of times but it’s a pretty rad little place. The breakfast tacos are yummy, the drinks are cheap, the service is friendly, and the patio is cozy. What else do you want? Oh yeah… a place to park. The parking lot is tiny and it can be a challenge to snag a spot. That is really the only knock against this place. So, if you get super rage-​filled when you can’t find a parking spot you may want to go elsewhere. Otherwise, swing into Paco’s when you have a chance. It’s pretty rad!

Mmm, Paco’s. So most of my Paco’s visits have been post-​run, which I’ll admit has me seeing them through sweaty, rose-​colored glasses. The runger is real, amirite fellow runners?
Anyway, the tacos are cheap and yummy — two item tacos are $ 1.85. The salsa selection is pretty legit. Last time I went they had $ 2 blueberry mimosas on special — yes please!
The interior seating area isn’t super huge, but there’s a pretty large outdoor area, which is dog-​friendly.
Minus one star for the parking situation. Their lot is pretty small and fills up quickly on the weekends.

The tacos. The salsas. The staff. The ambiance outside on a nice day. Did I mention they deliver?
Pacos is the best! Try the scallop taco!

I’ve been here once. it can get crowded. it’s good. I had the taco plate. the service was good. it has a gravel parking lot or at least it did at one time.

As already mentioned, the parking is terrible. Go right past Paco’s and park on the neighborhood street if it’s at all busy.
Otherwise this place is fabulous. The food is cheap, giant and delicious. The queso is great, the tacos are great and quesadilla was huge and fabulous. There’s a small indoor seating area but lots of room outside, so Paco’s is great on a nice day. It’s got an eclectic look and feel and the employees are always super friendly so it’s always my post picking up visitors at the airport stop. I love Pacos.

Yay for this place! We love the tacos and come back to occasionally try something new and tasty. I think I love this place partly because it rhymes «Paco’s Tacos». How can you go wrong!

The Bacon Gordita was filling and fun to eat. The thick corn shell was unique but made for nearly as easy eating as a breakfast taco. Speaking of breakfast tacos, they serve theirs on a unique corn-​flour blend which is super tasty.
Tiny parking lot available in the back, dog friendly patio that seems as large as the inside eating space. To-​go is also available! I need to try more of the menu.

Paco’s was a pleasant surprise. They have a solid patio and a nice selection of salsas. The barbacoa tacos were really good. The Paco’s pick is pretty good. I liked the Cece’s Pescado taco although next time I would get it without rice so that more of the fish would come through. Tortillas are a corn/​flour blend and provided a more unique flavor than your general flour tortilla. The salsas are the star of the show here though. I enjoyed the Mango Pico and their basic Red salsa the most. Good heat and good overall flavor. Wasn’t a big fan of the Honey Habanero but that is more of personal preference than a flavor issue.
I will return at some point to try the breakfast menu,

On my quest for the ultimate breakfast taco, I made a stop here, and I’m so happy they open up at 6:30 am so I can stop here quickly before work, rather than having to wait until the weekend. Highly recommend the migas and add bacon and cheese. Wonderfully priced and super quick service. You can even see the chefs grabbing the tortilla chips to throw onto the stove, so you know it’s fresh! Despite the taco being wrapped snugly in aluminum foil, it leaked through the bag and onto my car seat, hence the 4 stars, but other than that I’m definitely a fan!

I really liked this place. We went on a Sunday around lunch and got in right before it got too crowded. Lot’s of outdoor seating and fun, funky, tex mex décor, lots of menu options (including rice bowls, which I ordered with half rice, extra lettuce, for a «healthier» option.) Fun sauces come with the chips, friendly service, very quick, and priced well. Will return to this place soon!

A disclaimer: a) I don’t care if you’re from LA or the RGV and think that you have divinely privileged insight into what a taco is supposed to be. Really, I don’t. Aztec gods did not, in fact, give you their book of recipes, so if you think that $ 3.50 is too much for a taco, or that certain ingredients belong on a codex of proscribed books, please stay the f*ck home and for the love of gods, don’t tell me about it. Paco’s won’t be your thing.
Okay, I feel better. So, anyway, these are fusion tacos/​gringo tacos/​whateverthehell you wanna call ‘em tacos, and they’re good. Tons o’ seafood and veggie options, really good salsas, some with powerful heat. Prices are in Torchy’s/Tacodeli range, which is to say that it will take $ 10-​$ 15 to feed you. If that causes you to blow a gasket, then I suppose Taco Bell still has locations in town. I think it’s fine for what you’re getting. The fish, shrimp, and scallop tacos were lovely, the chicken and tortilla soup good if fairly standard.
There was a $ 2 bloody mary/​mimosa special. I think they might have gotten a fifth star just for that.
Paco’s itself oozes local charm, the building obviously a former residence with tiny, secluded little rooms with Mexican kitsch everywhere surrounded by an adobe wall around an enclosed courtyard. If we didn’t have someplace to be, several more rounds of cheap drinks just might have happened.
The staff were sooooooper friendly to us, talking us through the menu and chatting with us about the Indiana Jones double feature we were about to catch at Blue Starlite. We felt welcomed in a way that seemed genuine and unforced.
So, since this is on the way to our summer movie hangout, I see a return trip in the future. For those arriving by car, parking is limited, so you might have to do the mall across the street and hoof it. But you should. It’s worth it.
