Passing through on our way for a Cal Poly visit, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The chicken and shrimp tacos were outstanding--but the real star? The homemade corn tortillas. Fresh, warm, and full of flavor, they took everything to another level. It's a small spot, with big taste. Friendly, relaxed outdoor seating, and exactly the kind of authentic stop you hope to find on the road.

After browsing through the photos, the gorditas immediately caught my eye. They looked too good to pass up, so that's exactly what I ordered. The restaurant is located inside La Placita Mercado, which added to the experience. I even got to put some of my Spanish skills to use while placing my order. It was definitely good practice! For the price, it was an excellent deal. I received two huge gorditas with rice and beans, and everything was delicious. The gorditas were perfectly crispy on the outside, while the fillings were generous and packed with flavor. Overall, this is a fantastic little hidden gem. Great food, generous portions, and excellent value. I'll definitely keep this spot on my radar whenever I'm back in the area!

I may not be Mexican but I've had my share of tacos including the famous ones in Oakland, San Francisco, so cal. The gordita cabeza was so satisfying. Taqueria Pacheco is inside a grocery store and butcher shop so the meats are good quality. Our Not-so-baby bear, who we know can be the most picky eater, loved his super burrito with carnitas. Horchata was yum! Get the large. Come here if you are stopping by or going to Pinnacles. Taqueria Pacheco is worth a visit just for itself.

But most importantly the staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Octupus tostada, Shrimp and Octopus meal in red sauce, and a giant mango margarita with tamarind on the rim. Everything was delicious, and the cook came out to ask if the food was OK, he saw my wife licking the tamarind sauce off the margarita glass, and he brought a small cup of extra out for her.

I ordered a burrito with carne asada, rice, beans and cheese. The tortilla was great and they included lots of melty cheese. The ratio of ingredients was spot on. I did get a few chewy pieces of meat and I wish that the burrito was a little bigger for the price, but overall it got the job done. They only offer red salsa, no salsa verde, which was a bit of a bummer.

If you're craving real Mexican flavor, this place delivers…read more The pastor tacos are the star--perfectly marinated pork with that classic sweet-savory balance, a hint of pineapple, and a beautiful char. The tortillas are warm and fresh, and each bite tastes like it came straight from a Mexico City taquería. The asada quesadilla is another winner: generous portions of tender, juicy carne asada packed inside a perfectly toasted tortilla with melty cheese that stretches just right. It's simple, but full of flavor and incredibly satisfying. And the pastor torta? A must-try. The bread is soft but slightly crisped on the outside, loaded with seasoned pastor, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of sauce to bring everything together without making it soggy. It's hearty, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. My son not only devoured the whole thing, he contemplated on ordering another. Overall, every dish feels authentic, well-seasoned, and made with care. Highly recommended for anyone who wants true, bold Mexican street-food flavor.

The sauce on the camarones is spicy but not overwhelming and the shrimp are big. Their aguas frescas are also great. I finished my drink and thought about getting more, when our server came by without me saying anything. It's like she read my mind. She was very attentive and kind. My daughter had the kid's quesadilla and an agua de piña. She kept saying how delicious it was. Toddlers are picky, so the fact she said that of both things is genuine. My husband had the camarones al mojo de ajo and he stated they were some of the best he's had. I feel like this is a hidden gem, and we will try to come more often.
