Paco’s Tacos

goood tacos for a good prices, best taco spot in the neighborhood ! also good nachos and guac

We’ve ordered from here three times now. The first time there were no problems and the food was tasty, especially for the price. Tonight, we ordered a little after eight. An hour and a half later we called and were told they had gotten slammed but our food would be going out immediately. Half an hour after that they agreed to refund our money but said the food was out for delivery and we could keep it. It’s now been almost two and a half hours, it’s 10:30 pm on a work night, and we’re currently boiling money to make pasta so we can finally eat and go to bed. I understand places can get unexpectedly busy, but just tell me there will be a delay or that the food won’t be coming and I at least won’t be waiting around like a girl stood up on prom night.

HORRIBLE SERVICE.
Had to ask for utensils twice. Everyone got a wrong side dish… The waitress was cleaning the table next to us and to be a little courtesy, maybe she could have sprayed the towel first. Nope she was spraying it all over & the smell just hit our table… Oo and their guacamole was horrible. We ordered the mango one. At first I told our waitress we got the wrong one, we ordered mango guacamole. She said, you need to mix it — the mangos are on the bottom. Really? … I thought that was the chefs job. So after doing so, it was just large, tasteless chunks of mango.
Would not recommend.

Very pleasant atmosphere & the food is delicious. Great outdoor space. Love, love, love their guacamole! Unfortunately, the service is terrible. Painfully slow, forgetful, & unorganized. It’s a shame because the food is really good.

My first and last time at this restaurant. Although the food was good the server was unfriendly. I did not feel welcomed. Skip this place.

I love the design of this place! I’ve only been here twice but their banana burrito is amazing! Its sweet plantains, beans, and rice in a wrap with a side of lettuce and tomatoes. They give you chips and salsa as most Texmex places do, but the salsa can be very watery depending on the day you go.
They also give you a tiny smear of guacamole in your burrito, so maybe I’ll just ask for it on the side next time I order it. I definitely would go back for the banana burrito.

The sangria was excellent.. We had red and white.
The food we ordered was extremely fresh and so good.

Thank you

Wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I had to force my boyfriend to take me due to my friends hyping this place up. We both prefer to go to Benny burritos in the city. The food was blah not going here again.

I have to say I’m quite confused when it comes to this place.
It’s not terrible but not great either.
We had an order of machos nachos, guac, chicken taco and pork taco.
The chicken taco was good. Completely stuffed and for the price can’t beat it.
The guacamole was really good. Not many places make tasty guac, I enjoyed this very much I just needed homemade tortilla chips and the order would have been perfection.
My bf said his pork taco was good but would have loved if it had more pineapple.
The nachos were gross. Nothing close to «traditional» and I wouldn’t call it modern either. They were nachos I made in middle school. Store bought tortilla chips for sure with movie theater nacho cheese tomatoes and black olives. I was beyond confused when we got home. If we were sitting in the restaurant I’d have sent them back. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case.
Oh! And we got sweet plantains which were to die for.
So, overall it was okay/​good. Do not order the nachos. Like. Ever. I would prefer to make my own tacos at home in general but every once in a while enjoy takeout. I would go back to have some guac, plantains and try a different taco or maybe a burrito. My bf does not feel the same.
I feel like had we not ordered the nachos I would have given a 4. For now I’ll stick w a 3.

This place is just amazing the restaurant is super clean and now under new management. John the owner even came to my table and asked how is everything, what a really nice guy… I highly recommend this place and the food is unbelievable. I had the steak burrito and was fantastic, My wife had the Mexican sea food dish and it was so fresh and discuss not taste fishy at all like some restaurants seafood is horrible. I cannot wait to go again with my family.

I wish there was a no star option here.
I will preface with the fact that my family and I live around the corner from this establishment. We called tonight to order dinner, it took them three tries on the phone to pick up so I could order. After the third try the guy that picked up to take our order put us on hold twice, after the second time being put on hold a new guy picked up and reviewed our order. We paid over the phone and were told it would be 45 min to an hour. Our food arrived a half an hour later, which was quick.
Upon opening the bags we were missing two items, three soft shell steak tacos and a half a cup of sour cream. I immediately picked up the phone and dialed them back. No answer. I tried the delivery driver, no answer. I spent five minutes calling and listening to it ring over and over and over again with no one answering. Finally I got through. The man on the other end told me that they would remake the tacos and send them first thing.
Fast forward forty five minutes still no tacos. I called back and asked about them as my father still had no dinner. The woman that answered went to ‘check’ and told me that the delivery driver had already left.
Now again, we live around the corner so it should take the driver at most a minute or two to drive the two blocks. He arrived about seven minutes later and handed me a box of ice cold tacos and no sour cream. We waited forty five minutes for tacos that were probably made earlier and left by the careless employees.
Sorry to say we will not be able be ordering from them ever again. How dare you send ice cold food when we paid for a hot meal. Never again.

I took a friend here because it was walking distance from me and we wanted to stay local. He thought it was a prank. And that sentiment describes this place perfectly.
This is not good mexican, american mexican, tex mex or even food in general. They charge extra for each ingredient that is not tortila and rice in a burito. The chicken and beef is poor quality much worse than street meat and not the indulgent kind– the rubbery i cant eat it kind.
The cooks never listen to instructions. Ask for no olives and the salad will be brought back twice cause they continue to put olives even tho waitress capitalized NO OLIVES and circled it on the order (my son is allergic). This type of thing happens often not occasionally. The waitresses are annoyed to be working there except for one. The salsa is pure water and the 9 varieties of hot sauce at table have expired from march to sep 2015 which seems like a lawsuit. Shape up!
Guac is actually good! Mixed fish app is good! If you ask, whats stronger this or that, they will make what u choose adequately nice and strong. Overpriced as hell but strong.
Happy hour has good prices !!! and the décor looks authentic mexican and theres a patio so its really cute for a date night.
They could be so good! Esp in bensonhurst when most places are italian american and the people hear dont travel past couple blocks lol but they dont seem to want to try. If they dont get better theyll be out soon.

Yuck
Went there last night with girls for dinner and drinks. Stay away. Food was awful! We ordered the special calamari and spring Roll appetizer. calamari was not cooked well and basically it was fried fish rings with duck sauce on top. Spring rolls were ok but not hot. Ordered fish taco and steak taco entrees (one of each) they were inedible.
Good news was the margaritas were good and sold by pitcher. We ordered two
200 was our bill with tip
Seriously spend your money elsewhere

Just a sad excuse for a Mexican restaurant.

We usually get delivery from them … they all the time are on time … never had a problem… the food al the time taste good and the girls on the phone a nice and helpful all the time …

Place is cool, it has a modern Mexican vibe and pretty spacious too. Service was fine, the server was very nice and accommodating. And for the food, we tried the tacos and the stripped steak. I loved both. Also try their nachos with the guacamole, their slightly lacking in seasoning but the avocados were really good tho. Worth a try!

Not a fan. People are super ghetto here. Loud. Food is good if you are into mediocre tex-​mex. We have had their tacos, nachos, wings. Tastes super artificial in a way that makes McDonalds or Taco Bell seem fresh and gourmet.

idk why people are saying their food sucks. it really doesn’t. I love their tacos, I was craving a molten lava cake, and I ordered two and they even gave me the ice cream… it was sooo good. they also say it’ll take about an hour to get to you, but it doesn’t. it takes 20 minutes or less. this place doesn’t deserve a 3 and a half star. they deserve 5+! everyone else are haters.
I will continue ordering from here. I love this place.

Terrible experience. Got a delivery of the skirt steak dinner paid 19 $ for it and it looked like someone’s left overs. Brought it back to the store which was dead on a Saturday night at 9pm. They showed no concern at all and just offered to make a new one or a refund as I have all my other food at home getting cold and a new one would be another 40minutes. Not worth my money wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone and will not be going back.

My sisters and I decided to come here after driving by. My first experience here was delightful despite what the reviews said. But my second experience was a huge let down.
The waiter was always at the bar, socializing with the guests or friends. We waited 10 minutes until he came to ask what we would like. We finished deciding what we wanted 5 minutes ago and spent another 5 getting his attention.
Then he served us free chips with self made tomato sauce. It was very watery and minimal on toppings. The last time we had it, it tasted authentic. The chips were also cold and hard.
The actual entrée, however, was very good. I recommend the paella and the quesadillas.
When it came to the bill, we were «forced» to tip him 15%. Honestly, we would’ve tipped him 10% (minimal) because most of the time he was socializing with his pals and not serving us. The receipt was printed so that we had to tip him. Also, we sat right in front of the open window where the food was placed for the waiter to get it. We could have easily gotten. It ourselves instead of waiting for the waiter to swagger down from the bar to get it.
I’m never coming back. Their attitude completely ruined my night.

This food is absolute garbage. It’s poor quality, very greasy, just plain inedible.
My family ordered takeout from here, and I tried some tacos, quesadillas and the nachos. Everything you order is guaranteed to be swimming in oil, so if you have a sensitive stomach or a human stomach, it would be wise to avoid eating anything from this restaurant. The food tastes processed, whether it is or not. I threw my meal away and ate something else. I honestly cannot believe I’m saying this, but I would rather eat Taco Bell.

Ordered at 6:45, I called at 7:45 asking the status (after the wait time was said to be 45 – 60 minutes) and I’m told it’s crazy and he needs to call me back. I called again at 8:04 and I’m told it would be another hour and a half? Dave, the «manager», clearly doesn’t know how to manage time.

Most of the really bad reviews are for take out which I heard anyway was notorious. We went here instead of our usual Mezcal just across the street. The skirt steak w/​plantains, guac and rice was ok. nothing too special. The pitcher of margaritas was never ending but was lacking tequila. It has a bar crowd (why you’d choose this place to go to a bar is beyond me) which was loud and offensive. This is why this is not a family place. We gave it a shot but probably won’t return.

Is there a way to give zero stars? I can make better mexican food myself and I’m not mexican, it takes them over an hour to deliver and when they forgot an item they told me I’d have to wait over an hour to bring the missing item, request I tip the deliver guy after I already tipped them over four dollars AND tell me I’m better off forgetting about it. Never again will I order from this shitty restaurant with even shittier service.

I ordered the Mucho Macho Nacho… and they were Meh!
The distribution of ingredients could be better, the meat. ugh, I don’t know… it needs more flavor! And… come on Paco’s use real cheese will ya?!!
Nachos were covered in some kind of prepackaged liquid cheese (cheeze-​it?), what the eff? Where’s the melted, shredded sharp-​cheddar?
MAN! I had high hopes, but there is so much to be desired. My fiancé ordered the steak fajita… ugh. poor fella, he could barely chew on the meat! I guess they use cheap cuts. For the price… it could have been so much better! I really don’t know if we’ll eat here again. Usually we order or visit twice… this time we thought «this might be the exception».
It’s not authentic Mexican, which is fine, so long as you get the food right! Also, they don’t use real shredded cheese. Just… meh!

Had this place’s food for delivery.
I ordered the chicken burrito and jalapeño poppers.
the food was an oily mess and even in my self deprecating state I have more respect for myself than to finish it.

ZERO STARS FOR THIS PLACE DON’T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON AMATEUR HOUR.
I stopped here today on the way back from a long long walk with the dog. I had never tried this place before because Unilocal reviews had always steered me away. It was a spur of the moment decision to try Pacos because I noticed the entrance had an open front and i parked myself and the dog at the one and only bar table along the sidewalk to give her a break and have lunch. Upon entering I had to look around and holler to the back kitchen area if the place was open yet. I seated myself and was brought a menu to look at. I clearly chose the beef and bean burrito. I also asked for guacamole since the burrito did not come with any. The waiter was pleasant and brought the dog and I some water and complimentary nachos and salsa to my table. The nachos were good and the salsa was acceptable, it had some chunks of tomatoes. Less than 10 minutes and my burrito was brought over, a sad little burrito on a white plate. A very poor presentation if I ever saw one as there was nothing else on the plate to make it look appetizing. Here is where the fun begins. There was no meat in the burrito so i pointed this out to the waiter. He insisted to take it back and get it right since he put the order in correctly and it said it on the ticket and it still came out wrong. He returns with a ground beef burrito. I asked him if that was a mistake because I ordered the beef and bean burrito from the menu not the ground beef burrIto from the menu. His response was «They are both ground beef You know this is Tex Mex» I told him I didn’t want to send the order back again for fear of retribution from the two Pacos clowning around in the back. My bill included $ 2 for a spoonful of guacamole in the burrito, it should have been on the side.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this restaurant is a front for something else or just one guy’s failed experiment.
ZERO STARS FOR THIS PLACE DON’T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON AMATEUR HOUR.

This negative review is solely based on the delivery side. I had ordered the New paco burger deluxe and was missing waffle fries. I called back to ask for the missing items and instead the guy on the phone yelled at me about how it doesn’t come with waffle fries. All I had was the burger and he insisted I was wrong even though I paid the deluxe price on the receipt. Then he said the delivery guy was busy and doesn’t have time to stop at my place again. He then goes on to say he’d give me a discount and normally would just accept that cause the missing waffle fries wasn’t that big of a deal but he argued and yelled at me. Why in the world would I ever EVER order from them again?
TL;DR Worst customer service EVER. Order if you wanna risk being yelled at when they forget something.
