Pacos Tacos

Great little place. (Looks like it used to be an old Taco Bueno)… anyway, I digress…
I had Paco’s Burrito. For the filling, I chose carnitas (shredded pork). The burrito came topped with cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. Also came with beans and rice on the side.
If you dine in, in there is a wait staff. If you get to go, you just order at the front counter. Makes it pretty convenient.
Overall, the menu looked pretty good. And based on what the people around me, all of the selections looked like very generous portions… and looked VERY tasty!
Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely be back!

Not that good.
I tried a barbacoa burrito on my first visit. Cold lettuce and cold cheese made for a weird combination of bites, but the warm parts were very good. If the owners, managers or cooks find this review, please figure out a way around this. Chipotle’s done it, so can you!
My co-​workers tried a soft tacos, quesadillas, and crispy tacos. Everyone was quite happy with their meal and we will certainly be back. I think my weird mix of warm and cold bites tainted my experience.
My second visit gave me another mediocre experience with a steak quesadilla. It was acceptable, but nothing to get excited about.
The chips were typical and nothing special. The salsa served with the chips was as good as I could hope for in mid-​Ohio — solid if not exciting. I was disappointed to not have a selection of salsas, but at least their standard was good.
A third visit proved they cannot do a chimichanga. The cheese sauce they covered it in made me sick the rest of the day.
One last visit to give them a shot at redemption proved the best item I had so far was a fluke. The barbacoa was much worse the second time around.
I will not be back.

This place is great! My best friend always barks about how good it is… so she made me try it. I was pleasantly suprised what I’d been missing!
We started with beef nachos that were covered in cheese! (very tasty!)
I had a chimichanga which came with rice and beans! It was SO good!
Then we ordered an empanada to snack on with our meal. I was SO full when we left, I could hardly move.
One of the better Mexican places in the Newark/​Heath area. Would highly recommend this place!
I’ll be back!

Pacos Tacos is a great alternative to Chipotle. Try the barbacoa cabana bowl, it is absolutely delicious. You will not be dissapointed. This is located in the old taco bell on 30^th st.
