    Rock Tacos
    David C.

    I was recommended to this taco shop by a friend of mine. Coming from San Diego my Taco Expectation is VERY HIGH. The restaurant was empty at 1pm on a Saturday so I was immediately helped. MARIA was very kind and helpful and I my food came out hot & fast. Tables were clean and I observed numerous customers come in for take out orders. Overall a good experience for authentic Mexican tacos in NOLA.

    I went for Taco Tuesday. Five traditional (street) tacos for $10.00. This was a great experience. Simple to order. Food came up fast and the taste was exceptional. I'll be back

    This was my first time here and it was great! These tacos are the best I've ever had and I would definitely come back! The service was also great, and the food came out quickly. Great restaurant!

    Shrimp taco meal

    I went to this establishment based on the information that it was authentic Mexican food. If this restaurant was a representative of real Mexican food it fell below my expectations. I have eaten in Mexico and never encountered such greasy food. The tacos were fried not crispy but rather on the soggy side. I used napkins to try to blot the grease. The photo reveals the grease after blotting the tacos. $10.00 for 3 inedible tacos, the sauce (gravy) drippings was tasteless and greasy. You have to go to the counter to place your order and they swing the payment screen requesting a tip (the lowest suggested tip is 18 percent) are they kidding, you place your order at the counter, self serve for utensils, napkins and condiments. The condiments appeared to be unappetizing, and room temperature. A terrible lunch. My lunch companion had the dismal two shrimp tacos dish. It was served with a very small amount of guacamole and onions, $15.00. She remarked that we would have had a better meal at Taco Bell. We will not eat there again!

    Service is great and the salsas are very good. I had the rock tocos, which birria can be hit or miss but these were very delicious!

    If you're looking for good tacos and food in general, put Paco's Tacos on your list and look no further. These are some of the best quality tacos I've had in the city. So fresh and delicious, the ladies can be seen in the open kitchen making them to order. And the salsa bar is so good with lots of options for the meek of heart to the heat seeking crowd. They offer beer, Coke products in bottles and Mexican soft drinks. Use the app to collect points too.

    Tacos were just okay; nothing to brag about. Also they did not want to do the free taco promo on Tuesday which was a turn off. The birra sauce was pretty tasty.

    So I originally went to Los jefes for birria tacos. Was highly disappointed so I went here right after. Was kinda full already so I only ordered one taco, andddddd I wasn't disappointed. To start, I love the entire female staff situation they got going on. Felt super comfortable. Staff was super nice . Bathrooms clean. Now onto the food... I enjoyed it. I wish I could have gone to Pacos tacos originally, won't make that mistake again. The broth was unbeatable , the super tender meat , and the shell of the taco alone was amazing. Definitely will be going back. And will be my first choice.

    Great tacos especially the birria! Highly recommend. The parking lot is tiny but you'll get over that quickly

    Five traditional tacos

    Good and affordable tacos. Rock tacos (3 per order) are probably what they're known for. Birria tacos with melted cheese inside of a hard taco and a side of the beef broth to dip into. Honestly, they're good but not overly exciting, so I'm not sure what the hype is about. Shrimp tacos with guacamole are good too. There's a self served, unlimited sauce bar next to the counter as well. The dining tables are always dirty here. Every visit, never fails. They don't wipe down the tables right after the customer leaves. It's discouraging. Cashiers are usually nice though, so you'll just have to ask them to wipe it down unless you don't care.

    I am totally confused. The name of this business is Taco Ton & it's located on Airline Hwy, but pictures & reviews are from Pacos Tacos in Metairie on Veterans Blvd. Where are the reviews for this business?

    I am not sure why the name of the bussiness changed. Because this is definitely Paco taco

    Is this still in business?

    Yes it is

    12/6/24: It has been some time since we last went to Los Jefes. When we first went there, it was…read moreabsolutely incredible on all levels but then, things changed and the quality of the drinks and food went down. On our last visit the fajitas were incredibly salty and we did not even finish them. Well, THEY ARE BACK! I am very happy to say this! We went there last week and had the chicken and steak fajitas and they were incredible once again. Great flavor, well seasoned, cooked to perfection. I have one big complaint, however, and it has something to do with their supplier. In my wife's and my opinion, the shells they provide to you for the fajitas are an absolute joke. Taco Bell's shells are larger. Every other Mexican food restaurant I have gone to are larger. Really, guys, I don't want to hear about your supplier, I could not care less and really do not want excuses. Then, the bartender has the Gaul to tell us that they are designed more for pushing than making a fajita! DO NOT tell me how to eat my meal and do not come up with such a poor excuse. This place has great Margaritas. Donnie is an incredible chef putting out the best Fajitas in the city! Don't insult your restaurant, your customers, and Donnie and give your customers Fajita shells that would be better suited to little hands in a grade school cafeteria!

Once I ordered, the food and drinks came out quickly. The 'unlimited' mimosas actually cap at 5, which is fine, but the mix they use cheapens the drink, and the glasses weren't the cleanest. The birria and grits were good (about a 7/10), though I think the pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese on top took away from the dish. A traditional white cheese would have worked better. The birria tacos were tasty, though. The bathrooms could use attention as there were no paper towels, which makes me wonder what employees do after washing their hands. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely cost-efficient. With a few tweaks to the drinks and presentation, this place could easily go from a 3-star to a 4- or 5-star brunch spot. I'll be back to try the tacos and check out the unlimited margaritas.

    I visited Tacos Del Cartel for the first time on 05/12/2026 with a party of 10…read more This was overall a fabulous experience. The place is beautiful. The colors, the decor, the ambiance and the music. It is definitely a place meant for photos. Beyond that, the food was great. The table shared several orders of the Guacamole and the Queso. Both were excellent. The meal also came with table chips and salsa x3. All 3 included salsas were delicious and one of them was quite spicy! For my entree, I had the Birria Tacos. The presentation on this was spectacular, and the entree came with three tacos, the consume, beans, rice and onions. They were truly delicious. I almost forgot the drinks. I had two guava margaritas, and they were an excellent accompaniment. Overall, a great experience. As other people have mentioned, the parking is very limited. After we illegally parked in the back of the next door shopping center, they told us that we could park across the street. I wish that there was a sign in the parking lot at the restaurant indicating that, so that we knew that ahead of time. Luckily, we were not towed from the shopping center; however, if you were visiting for the first time -- you would not have known that.

Not a lot in the area where I parked but maybe there is another parking area nearby with additional spaces. I ordered the fish tacos and they were very tasty. They came with a side of beans and a side of rice which were also tasty. I had the mango margarita. Although it tasted light, the mango flavor was good. The staff person who tended to our table was very attentive and pleasant.
