I used to be a big Torchy's person, but it spread all over Texas and feels less special now, so I started looking for a new place to take friends and family who visit. Paco's is my new go-to taco place. Their tortillas are great, tacos are cheap, and both the breakfast and lunch menus are quality. I like that you can customize your breakfast taco ingredients & that breakfast is served all day. The ambience is good inside and out - they have a good patio - and you can order online. read more

Good food and the best brownies I've ever had!!!! The service is great and the staff is very friendly!

This place looks like it used to be a house converted to a restaurant. It can get really crowded inside esp on a full house but lots of seating outside as well. Im sure majority of folks come here in a car and parking is toward the back...and cramped. Luckily for me, this place is walking distance. Now the food is good, not great. They serve breakfast tacos until noon. Hubby loves the El Zarape burrito and he's not a big burrito fan..and neither am i. He couldnt stop talking about how good it was. Now where this place excels is customer service. The men who take your orders to your table are wonderful. read more

I agree with many reviewers, good for hangover food. Specifically because they have a weekend special- $2 for bloody mary's and mimosas if you're interested in retoxing. I had the Big Man, it has a lot of beans which aren't my favorite so I wouldn't get that again. Maybe I'm just not man enough for it... oh well. read more

Was so taken by the cute decorations outside that I drove my car towards it instead of heading home (hungry!) as planned. So very glad I saw a big sign advertising "tacos" as I had gone running that morning and after getting all 3 kids to school and started running errands realized I was famished. I parked and noticed again the very overly decorated space. They had a nice patio outside and upon entering one could see how cute it was inside. It appeared very clean and the cash register gal took my order and asked whether I lived around the neighborhood. Very friendly. I ordered two bfst tacos with entirely different ingredients and they literally came out within a two minute span. Originally I ordered them to go but I ended up sitting and trying out one or two salsas and they were outstanding, as were my tacos! I will be back! I'm certain all the families with kids in the Meuller area must go there regularly. It looked festive and kid-friendly and the staff was extremely nice and not in a phony manner. I haven't reviewed in a while because I haven't been motivated to do so until my Paco's Tacos experience! Well done! read more

Pretty good tacos but they aren't very big. You absolutely need to order at least two. Tacos seem to cost around four bucks, so it isn't cheap when you consider that your need two or three. read more

We were visiting Austin and while on the way to another restaurant, we passed this place and thought it looked interesting so we stopped to check it out. The good: The have a ton of selection and several of their tacos are vegetarian. They also have several bottled beers to select from at a fair price. The bad: The tacos are about 5 bucks each and all three that I ordered were mostly full of rice. They tacos are also fairly small which wouldn't be a problem if they were $3 each but for $5 I don't expect to have to order 3 of them to fill up. Id still recommend this place though. I was not disappointed. The staff was really friendly & the decor is interesting. read more

Great food and awesome atmosphere. Such a cool place to spend an afternoon with friends. The only downfall is the lack of decent indoor seating... if weather isn't great, be prepared to be cramped because they're always packed (for good reasons) and there's only a handful of tables. read more

I was really happy to find this place in my neighborhood! It's become our go-to, and feels like a really authentic Texas place... I've even seen bands playing there in the middle of the day with 110 degree heat with lots of people watching. Service here has always been good as well. Worth a stop. read more

Was looking for a tasty breakfast on the way to Austin-Bergstrom early on a Sunday morning & discovered Paco's. Service was friendly. The Big Man hit the spot, I loved the fresh homemade ingredients. My wife & two small boys loved it as well. Big thumbs up for Paco's. read more

Yum. I was really in the mood for breakfast tacos and decided to give this place a go and it was completely worth it. My fiance and I ordered a couple tacos and both of us were very pleased. They menu is extensive and you can really make any combination you want for breakfast tacos. The prices were great - I think I spent around $4. The place itself is pretty cool. It's in an old house with fun decor. They have some outdoor seating too. We waited a little while to get our tacos, but all-in-all I didn't mind the wait because they were delish. read more

The prices are awesome, the food is great, and the staff is always very friendly. One of my local favorites for sure!

Awesome breakfast tacos!! The corn/flour tortilla mixture is awesome, great ingredients, the options are limitless. Sad that I was only in town for a weekend, would have loved to try a few more combinations of meats and toppings. Why are there not more breakfast taco places everywhere?! read more

Oh, Paco's.....where do i begin? The family owned vibe is warm and fuzzy. The people who own this joint are clearly passionate about their establishment. The food is CONSISTENTLY fantastic. The salsa selection is broad and on point. I love their mismatched coffee cups, i love how clean they keep their eating area. This is going to be a longtime haunt for us, I see it clearly. Thank you, Paco's. read more

Tacos are way better than torchies, IMHO :) the ambiance, especially the patio is very cool. I recommend one should check out in late evening... read more

What a neat find! Wonderful atmosphere food is wonderful and the staff was amazing! Don't miss this place! I don't usually place reviews but couldn't help but give a good one for pacos tacos. read more

Food was great! We had a chicken quesadilla and it was packed, Gringo taco (shrimp) was amazing and was so full of shrimp, and brisket sliders (comes with 3)! We took home leftovers. Staff was friendly and helpful when we asked what they recommended. Looks like a super fun place when it's cooler but also has indoor seating for hot weather like today. read more

Good things: El Flaco, their torillas, friendly staff, cute atmosphere So-so things: Queso, CeCe's Pescado (needs more fish), sauces, Hook 'Em Bad things: Guacamole, chicken gorditas read more

The tacos are great. Although $12 for 2 tacos with chips and drink is way to much to pay. I know places I can get great tacos for much less. I will say the employees and owner are friendly and helpful with the menu. read more

Tacos are great BUT don't go during prime time (e.g. noon on football Saturday) because they are slooooooowww. I waited 21 minutes after paying for 4 to-go tacos. I've been at off times (3 pm) and had a much quicker experience. read more

Sooo many great things to say. First, the little restaurant is adorable. (Cramped parking, so car pool if you go with a group). The staff is always cheerful and fun. They offer suggestions. Everything I've tried is yummy. They have daily specials. They are decently priced, and quick on getting the food out. Love this place! read more

I absolutely loved this place. Went for breakfast Sunday late morning. The $2 Bloody Mary was delicious, good coffee, had an El Flaco taco and a build your own...the chorizo in the build your own was amazing. Very cute shady outdoor seating and a lot of it. The service was incredible---super fast and the sweetest most helpful woman. Highly recommend! I'd go back and try every taco on the menu if I was visiting for longer. read more

I don't claim to have any special expertise in the correct execution of tacos, but I likes what I likes. Everything folks have said concerning the pleasant patio atmosphere, the good service, the unfortunate parking situation, and the reasonable price is still true of Paco's. Every taco I have had here is sizeable and I am a big fan of their combination corn/flour tortillas, which capture a lot of the flavor of the corn and a lot of the fluffier texture of the flour. Oh, and they are my top choice in town for breakfast tacos, especially the migas, towards which I have developed some addictive feelings, of late. read more

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

Parking is atrocious! We arrived around 9:00am on a Saturday, and the (tiny) lot had some spots. When we left around 9:45, the lot was full, people were parked alongside the entrance/exit to the lot, which caused there to only be enough space for one car to pass through at a time to exit or enter the lot. With that, you could not see any cars who were turning in to the lot, until you were face to face, and one car would have to back up either on to the road (with oncoming traffic) or the other car to back in to the lot to have space for the other car to get through. Talk about a bottle neck situation! And unsafe. And no space. Don't drive a truck up in there. Now for the food. It's like a less expensive version of Torchy's. I am white, my boyfriend is Mexican. I love Torchy's, he hates Torchy's. I liked the tacos here, he did not. We tried all 4 salsas, only liked the red. He had barbacoa and said it didn't taste like true barbacoa should taste. He also had the carnitas and had the same complaint. I had bacon egg and cheese tacos and thought there were average. The decor/building/atmosphere is typical Austin. So it's fun for out-of-townies. Tiny space inside to eat. More space outside to eat when the weather is nice. Overall, at first I would be willing to come back because my tacos were alright. But when you add in that parking situation, I can guarantee I will never return. I say to you, fellow yelpers, try it once to say you have! read more

I used the online ordering system, and everything was exactly as I requested. Nice people, really good food with generous portions. I loved the menu selection! Will be back for sure. Thank you!! read more

I always enjoy eating here and get the soy chorizo, potato, cheese tacos. They can be a little dry, but fantastic with green sauce. Their rice bowls are also yummy. Great atmosphere and they honor the go-local card for a small food discount. Very homey. Parking can be a challenge during the lunch rush, but worth it! read more

This is my favorite taco place! I get food here multiple times a week. Mostly I build my own breakfast taco combinations, but I've had a lot of different things on their large menu, which is delicious. They have awesome salsas as well, and my favorite is the creamy poblano. The queso is wonderful. They can get pretty busy during regular rush times and their parking lot can fill up, but I think that is just Austin in general. The staff is also really friendly and move fast to get food out. read more

their breakfast tacos are delicious! I always get 2 flour tacos with 2-3 filings plus a drink and the total is always under $10! I've tried other menu items but I honestly do not like them. Also, this place is convenient if you're in a hurry, you can call the order beforehand and usually are in and out in less than 5 minutes. Plenty of parking -- I've dined in a couple of times but not something I prefer to do. Their barbacoa tacos don't taste like much, you can get better barbacoa tacos in other places nearby. read more

The food is good, but they need real margaritas instead of wine based.

I have been to Paco's Tacos several times now and every time the food is really good. Their own hybrid corn-flour tortilla is especially wonderful...just the right softness and heft. I also like that I can get breakfast tacos all days, a rarity in this town of many tacos. The owners were incredibly nice and accomodating when we planned a group event here...AND one of my favorite perks: they deliver to my workplace. read more

Food is good but way over priced. Twenty dollars for two people which included one taco a piece scoop of rice and beans and four dollar small queso bowl very small read more

Try the migas breakfast taco with bacon. It's got great crunch that contrasts the soft eggs and the salty bacon. I also had chorizo with eggs and avocado. That was pretty good too, but next time I might add black beans. It was delicious, fresh, and hot, and I will definitely come back. read more

As most Austinites do, I take tacos fairly seriously, and having said that, this place is legit. Everything we ordered was crazy yummy! The building is a little old house with fun decorations both inside and in the front yard where you can also eat. I'd caution weekend visits in bad weather because it is completely packed if people can't sit outside, this may apply on week days at lunch too, I haven't been by to confirm. You've got to try this place, I don't think you will be disappointed! read more

Paco's is a great taco spot. Every time I have a guest in town I have to take them in for breakfast or lunch. The Paco Pollo is where it's at. The tacos are very delicious and the service is super prompt. Hopefully the new Torchy's next door doesn't hurt their sales too much. read more

We love this place! Most of the staff is so friendly, can't do enough to help you. My daughter and I get the sliders and queso, sooo delicious! My other daughter loves the mushrooms and spinach quesadilla., and they have big red fountain drinks!! Yummy! You can also bring your dog and sit on the patio, the staff will bring you a bowl of water and a dog treat! I definitely recommend! !! I also always bring my out of state guest here, and they always love it too!! read more

Delicious! Friendly staff, unique decor, a definite Austin "vibe," and did I mention the amazing food??? LOVED it!

Any establishment in Austin pushing FOR our Blastros, is aces in our book, but it's about the food! I ordered the breakfast torta, and my girls had their breakfast tacos. We took it with us, but the place was a nice clean place, with modest space, but packed with great atmosphere. The staff was accommodating to a half asleep oaf like me and so ready to help guide one through their menu! They have weekend mimosas, that I didn't try, but I will. Ok get home and this soft focaccia bread awaited me. Like all wondrous, pillowy objects, this torta felt good in my paw. I gripped it and the egg and cheese were in perfect abundance creating a soon to be visited pile of glistening goodness on my square plate of reflective foil. It was so good. Warm and flavors true to homemade goodness! Peppers, bacon, cheese, beans, splashing egg yokes, kept hitting my mouth's G-spot. Food is life, this first try was a shot at eternity! Will return. read more

Wow, here from Dallas for a conference- tried the FTB (vegetarian taco) and the hatch tacos with shrimp- puts Torchys and Fuzzy Taco to shame! Very cool atmosphere- order inside the little house and then go outside with your bottled beer and enjoy the pebbled courtyard and black iron tables- this place wreaks Austin cool! So glad I stopped! read more

Paco's Tacos - Neat outdoor atmosphere - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

God, I love this place. I eat here more than any other place in Austin, yet for some reason have yet to write a review. Time to change that. My favorite thing here is the Cece's pescado taco, which is a delicious combo of fish, rice, and cabbage slaw. I've also started regularly ordering the shrimp enchilada plate with a red enchilada and a green one, sublime. Although unassuming from the street, inside they have a nice, warm and cozy atmosphere and a great funky, eclectic patio- the perfect antidote to the new, cold restaurants popping up around town. The ambience is great, but my favorite thing about this place is the consistency. I've eaten here probably over 50 times and the food is ALWAYS good. Props to their cooks. Wonderful, solid place all around. read more
