This place was amazing! It's an authentic Mexican restaurant on the Westside with incredibly friendly staff. The restaurant was decorated for the Fourth of July, creating a festive atmosphere, and everything from the décor to the aromas felt genuine and welcoming. The staff was attentive, personable, and made the experience even better. I ordered a chicken and steak burrito with rice, beans, and cheese, and it was outstanding. The shredded chicken in mole sauce was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, while the steak was cooked perfectly and complemented the burrito beautifully. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Paco's is a local and family favorite spot with freshly made tortillas and delicious salsa and margaritas. My only gripe is that the prices continue to rise and the chips and salsa are only free for the first basket, which really takes away the appeal of a local family style Mexican restaurant. My fav burrito is now $20, and while the burrito itself is large, it's a high price to pay for just a burrito with no sides. I think if the chips and salsa were still unlimited the increase in food prices wouldn't be such a hit as well. Their drinks are always great I just wish they had happy hour since the prices really are up there with other new and modern restaurants with no fun deals or unlimited chips and salsa like many other family style places. Their servers are kind and attentive and there's not a crazy amount of tables so there tends to be a wait no matter the time of day. Also parking can be hard to find as it's basically located inside a neighborhood. read more

Very solid Mexican food with VERY friendly service. The Large Guacamole appetizer was generous and delicious. The Enchiladas were solid, served with beans and rice, and the Carnitas platter was loaded. We found the food under-seasoned but tasty, and the portions were huge! read more

Went there to celebrate my husbands birthday. It was a surprise dinner. I had called ahead to let them know we would be a party of 7 and wanted the other guest to in before my husband and I got there. Well we get there and my husband's family was outside waiting. Surprise got ruined and they said that they wouldn't seat them until the rest of the party arrived. Lame! They lead us to our table and took forever to take our order. I had to ask someone that was just walking back and fourth if someone could take our order. Food was good. Everyone liked their dish, tortillas are amazing! I got the chile rellenos but wasn't much of a fan of all the veggies that were added on top. As we are finishing our meals, they ask if they could remove some plates that were already done, which is fine. But we're sitting there chatting having our drinks and they come to clear some cans that still had drinks in them. It's like cmon! Basically kicking us out. They brought me the check and said don't worry the tip is added on there. I felt that was just so rude! The Paco's in Westchester is better. They never rush you out. read more

Great place for some authentic Mexican food with handmade corn tortillas, tasty margaritas, and delicious entrees! The decor has an old school feel to it that I'm guessing mimics older houses in Mexico. Besides having to pay for a second basket of chips ( which we passed on because we got the queso fundido dip) everything was pretty good! read more

Paco's is a great homestyle Mexican restaurant in Culver City. There is a small lot to park behind the place or you will be on the street, mind the signs. You will find parking. The place is super cute, with the servers and staff dressed in traditional Mexican clothing. The wall have some cute art and the place is just a happy place to me. They do have a lot of seating and many get it to go. It can get very crowded so try for off times. The service is wonderful. The staff is nice and speak English and Spanish and will help you with the menu. They are fast and they usually get your order correct the first time. They also have beer and wine. I do not know whether they have a full bar, I think they very well may. The food is excellent. We love their hard shell tacos and their beans and rice are always spot on. Their burritos are good as are their tamales. We have never had a bad meal there. Enjoy. read more

This restaurant had good food 30 years ago but it has changed to bad quality of food. We celebrated a birthday ,we were a party of 7 people I requested a separate check . one of the service personnel said very rudely No.... He said only one check. Then we had no choice but to go with it. All the rest of the service was great with the exception of charging for extra chips and salsa. I ordered combination of beef and pork both we're supposed to be in adobo marinated the beef was old and pork as well WITHOUT adobo the plate was horrible no flavor I complained to the server he never gave me an explanation at all. I guess that is a normal for them. And finally the restaurant needs an update at the waiting area chairs and tables are falling apart also. Low quality Mexican restaurant. Not a good experience and quality of food needs to be as it says on the menu. read more

Paco's tacos is a neighborhood Mexican restaurant that's been at this location for as long as I can remember as I held my award banquets here when I was coaching soccer many years ago. Fairly traditional menu with à la cart and combination plates in a warm and friendly environment where the tortillas are being handmade. Surrounded by lots of folk art, this Cantina offers good straightforward, Mexican fare. As someone who is gluten intolerant, I caution those who might want to get enchiladas because the Ranchero sauce has flour in it so I got the enchiladas without the ranchero sauce and uses the salsa. read more

This place is very deceiving from the outside, but don't let that fool you--the food is authentic Mexican and absolutely worth stopping for. My only real complaint is the guacamole. I wish they wouldn't add lettuce to it just to make it look like there's more than there actually is, and please don't add the flour chips on top--it really takes away from the presentation. That said, the chicken enchiladas are my absolute favorite and the main reason I keep coming back. The service is great and very accommodating; if you're not happy with something, they genuinely try to fix it, which I really appreciate. I'm honestly confused by the mixed reviews because if you're looking specifically for great chicken enchiladas, this is the place to go. The beans are a bit pasty and could really benefit from a little milk to thin them out. As for the Spanish rice, if vegetables are going to be added, they should be mixed in during the cooking process--otherwise, it's better not to add them at all. Overall, solid food, great service, and definitely worth a visit despite a few small tweaks that could make it even better. read more

Paco's has gone down hill so badly we have no intention of returning unless my little grandson insists for his Birthday. Now, their food was never great, but it was good, the prices fair and the service excellent. Such is no longer the case. I would give them 2 stars but they sang Happy Birthday to my grandson so I am being overly kind. There were 5 of us. They brought one basket of chips. You want another, again 5 of us, you will be paying for that. You walk in the place and it is now very warm. It is not as clean as it used to be, but it is fine. The service was so slow and it was not peak dinner time, not that such would be an excuse. They got our order wrong and the food was not good, some of it was not something you would eat. But, my dog liked 240$ worth of food. First, they came to get our drink order and that was fine. Then we waited and waited and someone came to take our order. We all had expensive dishes and when they came they all looked the same. They were not, they were just a mess of food on a plate. We ordered a shrimp cocktail that is supposed to have ceviche in it. Look at the photo, it is mostly water. There were 3 little shrimp and more watery ceviche. My grandson was the only one who would eat it. The balance just sat. Our food came at the same time instead of the starters and then the meal. I can live with that if it were any good. My grandson is a Special Needs child and can handle zero stress, so I could not return my dish and it went home to the dog, most everyone's did. I was so very clear that I was highly allegoric to sour cream and none was to be on my chimichanga or anything else. I clearly said this and added, no sauce of any kind at all. Just make it plain. The plate had been sitting in the heat and all the sour cream had melted into the entire plate. They must love sour cream. The plate was such a mess and the chimichanga so small that I could not find it. I took a bite of the beans and there was sour cream under it and I thought I would vomit. I looked at the rest of it and none of it could be eaten. I sat there with a smile on my face for my grandson and not one staff member even asked if our food was okay. Not even when I had the entire meal put in a box, all of them. My husband had a steak dish that he asked for rare to medium rare. It was burnt. The dog liked that as well. The rice on all dishes was dry. The beans, the dog would not even eat. The one thing they have that is still good are their tortillas, that are made there. But it took forever to get them. The flan was fine. It took a long time to get the bill. They have raised their prices. I have had better food at the worst taco truck in town. What a waste of money. Four plates barely touched. My grandson did love the beans. read more

All these years living right near Paco's Tacos and I'm kicking myself for never trying this spot until just now. Paco's Tacos has everything I want in a Mexican restaurant - from the decor, to the freshly made flour tortillas you can see being made in the front, delicious margaritas, and chips and salsa. I absolutely loved it. Service is friendly and attentive but mostly its just a great vibe in there. Fun for groups and families, its lively but unpretentious and amazing! read more

I did not want to do this review for the reason that I have been a loyal customer for years. Recently I have had two experiences with take out. I order my usual two cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. And both times I have almost checked in to emergency due to my stomach rejecting the meal. It is clear to me now that the quality has gotten my so sick that I will never go back again. Thank you for all the good meals over the years but now I have learned your kitchen is a risk for my health and will not recommend this place any more. I am never eating here again. read more

Delicious fresh food, handmade corn and flour tortillas. Service is great and fast. Food tastes like homemade authentic Mexican cooking.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered a blended strawberry drink along with my entrée. Everything seemed fine until I reached the end of my drink and discovered a bug inside the glass. It completely ruined my meal and made me feel sick to my stomach. This should never happen in any restaurant, and it raises serious concerns about cleanliness and quality control. I hope the management takes food safety and sanitation much more seriously so this doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

We've been going to Paco's since we moved into the neighborhood which was 22 years ago. Growing up our kids loved going there and sitting by the aquarium. We've known the servers for years and they are warm and friendly. Food has always been very good and the margaritas even better. Highly recommended. read more

Wow this place is awesome! Been looking for killer crispy tacos for a while. They have a few old ladies making tortillas from scratch. The Supermex burrito is AT LEAST 2 meals. I had 3 crispy tacos: Carne Asada, Shredded beef and cochinita pibil (incredible pork in a sweet sauce). The latter is an old Yucatán recipe. Get it! The restaurant has incredible ambiance. Fun, spacious. All decorated for Halloween now. And the service is fantastic. Really friendly and they checked on us often. This is our new place!! read more

Serve big sizes, worth the price. Calm family friendly and good service. They make the hand flour tortillas right where you can see them.

A little 14-year update since my last review. My family and I have been going here for 20+ years and not much as changed. The decor is always a lot and festive, the food is always great, the service is always amazing, parking always sucks lol I still get the same meal and I don't think I will ever change. I might add in a thing or two but the asada dinner plate will always be my go to. With flour tortilla, butter & cilantro with onions on the side. I wish they had dr pepper though lol read more

I'm mexican and I grew up eating home-made mexican food so my review might be biased. I've been here 3 times, tried something new each time and nothing really stands out to me.

Solid Mexican food! I came here with some family members on a Saturday night and it was packed. We waited for about 15-20 minutes before being seated. The menu is large and a little hard to figure out for some items because it doesn't say the meat options. I ended up ordering the super burrito and we ordered guacamole for the table. The guacamole was okay, not super flavorful and it had chips on top that were stale. My burrito was very good, and gigantic. It had rice, beans, chicken, salsa, and sour cream inside, and a ton of guacamole on top. The rice also had corn and peas which isn't my personal favorite but I still enjoyed it. I only ate about half and took the rest to go. You could easily share it. Even though the restaurant was busy, service was very fast and efficient! read more

My favorite Mexican in all of LA. The fresh tortillas made right there in plain view are the highlight.

Okay this review is like ridiculously way lonnnnng overdue. We have been coming to Pacos for over 34 years! Yes, before we were married, before we had kids and before the grandkid. What's not to love about Pacos... besides the same friendly familiar people that have been working there since forever. And of course the comforting Mexican food that you've come to know, crave and love. Hard to find that authentic rice that my grandma used to make, but Pacos does not disappoint! When you're greeted by Oscar who knows you, you're off to a great start. Many milestone/family celebrations(and Margaritas)were had here back in the day. Even though we don't live in the area anymore, we can sure find any excuse to come to Pacos! And don't worry about the calories, you can walk off that big meal on your mile journey back to your car. read more

I was so excited when I first saw pictures of this restaurant. It looked and felt like good old LA Mexican joint--the décor, the atmosphere, and the woman making fresh tortillas. Everything seemed so promising... until I took my first bite. We ordered all our usuals--albondigas, carnitas, carne asada, chili relleno, tacos, taquitos--you name it. But something was just off. The flavors were lacking, and the food didn't deliver on what the ambiance had promised. I think all of the dishes were lacking salt. Here's the thing: if you walk into an ethnic restaurant--whether it's Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, you get it --and you don't see people from that culture dining there, and see bunch of mature adults from the main population (try not to sound ageist or racist here) it's usually a red flag. Unfortunately, that was the case here. Sadly, we left more than half of our food untouched and felt bad. read more

Classic. I love this place. Cheese enchiladas beans and rice. Red sauce .. what makes this place so special is the homemade flour tortillas, get those eat them with butter and then dip it in the salsa with the butter. It is the best thing you ever had and then if you take the steaming hot beans and cheese and make yourself a bean and cheese burrito. Get a little side of sour cream. Add the red sauce there's nothing like it. That's why I like this place but I usually don't order past the enchiladas , and crunchy tacos:) read more

It's tough to rate Pacos. I mean, their food is great and portions are huge. Their customer service skills are so poor. Waiting for a table is cramped and uncomfortable. They won't serve drinks while you wait and the wait is long. Their employees are impatient, almost rude when taking your order. They could squeeze in a dozen more tables if they got rid of the huge chairs but I don't think they even care. Extra stars for their homemade tortillas. read more

One of the best options for classic Mexican fare on the westside. Surprised I haven't reviewed it yet as I've been going regularly since 2015. Great food and family that runs the place. I love the albondigas, the fresh tortillas, and the combo plates. I put this above all the other west of Sepulveda joints: La Cabaña, Lares, Gilbert's, La Talpa, and Don Antonio's. read more

Legit tacos!!! This place is very old school SoCal. Amazing salsa and chips, great menu, fabulous staff

I've been coming here for decades and always used to love it . I've been to the restaurant 2 times this year - and it wasn't as good as in the past . Did management change ? Maybe ICE scared away their best employees ? The food both these last 2 times was less flavorful . Chicken was bone dry , the guacamole less flavorful and even the chips weren't as good. What a shame ! I used to love this place .... But I don't plan on coming back anytime soon . read more

This place never fails. My family has been coming here for 25+ years and every single time it is so good. The supermex burrito is the best thing on the menu and the asada plate is great.

The vibes are always good here at pacos tacos. read more

Paco's Tacos - Supermex Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Does anyone remember the small window on the south facing wall of Paco's? The restaurant was fairly new, and those of us who lived in the area could walk up to that window and purchase a tiny bag of chips complete with a mini plastic container of salsa for a whopping 10cents. My friends and I would visit that window almost every day - usually on rollerskates because the extra height made it much easier to transact. This window was removed decades ago, but the memories are as fresh as their delicious house made tortilla chips they still make today. Kudos to the manager at this location - the food here is delicious as I remember it was back in my rollerskate days. Fresh house made corn and flour tortillas, salsa, and a menu packed full of options, even back then. Seafood too, the Oaxaca is a family favorite, as is the Coctel de Camaron, one or both are ordered almost every visit. We specifically dined here because the Westchester location has gone rogue and is no longer serving their delicious house made tortilla chips. It's a shame because that location has much better parking, is bigger, and it's closer to home. Seems the pandemic may have paved the way for unpopular decisions, including not re-opening the bar area...and those blasted chips are gawd awful. Thankfully, this location still serves them up fresh and hot, and you know what? The food just might be a few times better than the other location. Margs here are a bit smaller, but the give and take is worth it if you're an OG Paco's fan. Keep on keeping on Paco's...we'll be back to enjoy every bite and sip. Salud! read more
