    Quesabirria Tacos
    Luis M.

    When in Phoenix craving authentic Mexican food, Paco's Tacos delivers without disappointment, unlike the limited seating indoors and scorching heat outside. The tacos were good, verging on great, bursting with flavor that rivals anything in Nashville. However, the real star here is the horchata - thick, authentic, and sweet, it's the perfect complement to wash down the bold flavors of Mexico. For a flavorful start to your Phoenix food adventure, Paco's Tacos is a must-visit spot. The service bumped this spot from a 3 to a 4!

    This place is a hidden gem!! Went here on a whim and so happy I did! The area is a little sketch but don't let that discourage you. The food bomb and the customer service was on point! They were so nice! Made sure to explain everything on the menu. The inside seating is small. There is plenty of outside seating. On to the food!!! I got the queso birria, al pastor, carnitas tacos All of them were soooo flavorful!!! I also got the tamarindo to drink and also was on point!! They have a small salas bar and my fav was the red roasted one. My gf got the carnitas taco combo. Comes with rice and beans. She loved everything. She also got a margarita she said was really good! There is a happy hour on drinks. I highly recommend giving this place a try. I will for sure be back!

    We love this taco spot! The staff is so wonderful and friendly! The food is full of flavor and you get it really quickly! The restaurant is clean and has a nice patio to enjoy your food on! The quesa birra dipped in consome is so delicious! I really like the chicken carnitas tacos as well! Definitely a spot we will continue to stop into often!

    Queso Birria Taco

    I had high hopes and unfortunately was a little let down. I went for the ramen and I have to admit I was disappointed. The meat was good, however, the ramen was incredibly soggy. They tasted as if they had been sitting in hot broth all day deteriorating. The texture was very off putting. Good ramen should be al dente, period! I also did not like that the onions and celantro were already in the soup. I prefer this as a side garnish and would have liked more than the small amount of garnish that was in the soup. I would not recommend nor would I try it again. I also tried a quesobirria. That was really good but a very small portion for the price in my opinion. I would order it again though. I also had a Large Horchata that rang up at $8 when I looked at the receipt. I'm sorry but that is outrageous. You'd expect it had alcohol at that price. Horchata is just rice water with cinnamon so there not much of a cost to make it. I was shocked when I saw I had been charged so much for it. All in all.m, I would probably give it another try but I'd steer clear of any overpriced beverages and the soup.

    Quesa-Birria combo

    Been here twice now and both times were delicious. Cost is definitely a bit steep for some of their items, but the cost of food is just getting higher overall. We usually do the Quesa-Birria taco combo, which includes 2 tacos with rice and refried beans. The Birria is delicious, tender and super flavorful. The last time we went the crunch on the taco was insane, wish we had that texture every time. The rice is good, I really like the seasoning. The beans are awesome and filled with flavor. Usually beans tend to be lack luster from a lot of restaurants, but I really enjoy theirs. Their salsas are delicious as well as their pickled onions. Staff is nice, but the last couple of times we went the tables aren't cleaned well and there was garbage flying around outside. The restroom was also out of order and the restaurant smelt like a sewer in the back, definitely not appealing for customers. Fix those issues and it would be fantastic.

    Al pastor and carnitas tacos with rice and beans

    If you're traveling and wanting to stop to get tacos but need to use a restroom, don't go here. Food taste is 4.5 stars. Tacos were yummy. Food overall though would be 3.5 stars. Rice and beans were kind of lackluster. Kind of pricey for how small the tacos were. Ambiance outside is nice, but no restroom here kind of sucks. The closest bathroom is down at the Burger King due to the situations at the gas station. It was a 15 min walk there and back in order to wash my hands and use a bathroom. It was a bit unsafe walking around there. I honestly wouldn't come back to this place because of this. The small tacos were not worth the hassle.

    Burrito Mio
    Steve P.

    In the area and was walking by and this place stood out. I heard it was a chain but it didn't give chain vibes. It was a nice little place with indoor and outdoor seating. When I entered, I was greeted by a nice guy, who explained all the dishes and even offered me an idea if I ever come back. The wait for the meal wasn't bad at all either. I took my meal to go and enjoyed it back in my hotel room. The burrito was made very well and was tasty.

    Fun little place that is a great option for local taco flair. I loved their street tacos - no fuss that let the various meats be the star of the show. Menu includes tacos, biria, quesadillas, chips, etc. Staff is friendly. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. Tables available inside and on their front and back patios.

    Consome

    I came here on the last day of vacation in AZ on December 22nd, 2023 (and before heading out for a kiki). This establishment is located close to Sky Harbor Airport, the Phoenix Zoo, and Gateway Community College. The menu offers a few breakfast plates, quesadillas, tacos, burritos, and extras such as carne asada fries. When guests come into this location, they place their orders at the counter and wait for their orders to be ready after receiving the number associated with their order. Seating inside is limited, so if you are looking for a seat indoors, get there before the lunch crowd. What we got: Carne Asada Street tacos Carne asada tacos are delicious flank steak, Mexican-inspired street tacos. The ones served here were loaded with juicy steak bites, onion, and fresh cilantro. The carne asada on these tacos were 'rich' and had a crunchy-around-the-edges flare. Pollo Asado tacos When it comes to Mexican cuisine, there's nothing quite like a good taco. And when it comes to tacos, there's nothing quite like pollo asado tacos. These pollo asado tacos are bursting with juicy, marinated chicken and bright citrus flavor. Each bite is nestled in warm tortillas and topped with fresh onion and cilantro. Carne Asada fries Thing Two ordered this menu item. Carne asada fries are the best of two worlds = carne asada + French fries! For carne asada fries, the steak is chopped into small, bite-sized pieces and loaded on top of seasoned French fries along with various other delicious toppings. The Carne Asada fries here are baked Mexican spiced French fries smothered in cheese and piled high with tender juicy marinated steak, pico de gallo, cilantro and crema. This was large enough for two to dine on. Other items purchased included two burritos, consome, Mexican sodas, and a mixed drink (double gin and Squirt). The food served here was authentic and fresh and had a decent price point (just over $80 for everything). If in the area, definitely stop in and give this local place a try as there is something here for everyone. #supportlocal

    Taco combo
    Aron J.

    This place is mixed in with another restaurant and when I went they didn't start to serve their taco menu till around 3pm so keep that in mind. I got their taco combo which is two tacos (you can mix and match) rice and beans. Also ordered a horchata on the side. Food was good and all but I really enjoyed the horchata the most. While everything tasted good, price did feel a bit high for only two tacos rice beans and a drink.

    This place has been on my eye for a while, so on this visit to Arizona I decided to make it happen! I was welcomed with upbeat and friendly service, and asked the lady at the front desk for her recommendations. I ordered one birria queso taco, one carnè asada taco, and one chicken taco + a side of chips and guacamole! The tacos were oozing with flavor and spice!!!! The presentation also made them all the more appetizing! The salsa bar had tasty salsa of all levels to jazz the flavors up even more! The chips were fried to a crisp, and the guacamole was like eating sunshine in a cup! It was so fresh and filling! I had an orange jarrito as my drink! This place was beyond delicious & I look forward to trying more food here in the future! Cheers to good eats!

    Street taco combo + an extra street taco

    After my brother picked me up at Sky Harbor, my brother and I were looking for lunch. I looked on Yelp, and found Paco's Tacos recommended in the vicinity. We were not disappointed. The service was friendly, they answered our questions, some silly like "I'm this hungry, would this be too much food?" In the end I got the street tacos and and extra because they all sounded amazing. My brother got a burrito; it was huge, and he was happy. The salsa was fantastic; the beans had so much flavor. I definitely want to come back and try more things.

    Birria and Carne Asada
    Justin M.

    Stumbled along this gem on 4th of July! Grabbed the Queso Birria and Asada Taco! Holy hell it's legit AF! The Birria takes the cake here. Stuffed and well priced! The asada taco was almost perfect but I felt the meat could be just a bit more tender. Beyond that I'd come here every day if I can! Good work going down here! I give it a 4.5 rating outta 5! Get ya some! The Tacosaurus Rex says so! P.S Salsa bar is fire

    Salem is the best bartender we ever she is so pretty nice to my annoying self she is also so funnyread more

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.
