Prickly Pear & Traditional Frozen Margarita
Angela M.

It's been a month since I stopped in for Taco Tuesday! It was time! I am never disappointed. Next time I'm going to step outside of my norm and order something new! Stay tuned....... Be sure to try a margarita on the rocks, you will thank me later!

Rock Tacos

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

Rock Tacos!

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.

Birria tacos  Jarritos
Bell N.

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.

Menu

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

Ask the Community - Pacos Tacos

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

We rolled into dinner hungry...like "scan-the-menu-before-you-sit-down" hungry, and in the mood for…read moregreat Mexican food and a couple of memorable cocktails. A few years ago I had been to La Tia in Metairie, and it left a serious impression. What stuck with me most were the craft cocktails...creative, clever, and a little bit mischievous. I still remember one in particular: a Mexican-inspired cocktail with mezcal and beet juice that somehow managed to taste like summer decided to take a vacation south of the border. It was the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and say, "Okay... whoever thought of this deserves a raise." Somehow the place drifted off my radar over time. But when the craving for Mexican food hit, it popped right back into my head. I was excited to bring my son and daughter-in-law since they had never been. Unfortunately... the reunion didn't exactly go as planned. Two things hit me immediately while looking over the menu. First: the craft cocktails were gone. Not "different." Not "updated." Just... gone. Replaced with the same drinks you see in every other Mexican restaurant. Second: the prices nearly made me spit out the water I hadn't even ordered yet. $6 for a Corona. $18 for a basic burrito with fries. $10 for a kids plate over chicken tenders and some fries. And not the old La Tia burritos either...the ones I remembered piled high with rich molé, bright verde sauces, and layers of flavor that made you wonder if you should be taking notes. Nope. Now we're talking about a plain flour tortilla with some ground meat inside, no sauce, and a side of what looked suspiciously like freezer-aisle French fries. For eighteen dollars. My daughter-in-law ordered the fajitas, and honestly... they were rough. Thin strips of overcooked meat that looked like they had taken a brief vacation in a plastic bag before hitting the grill...served on a plate. Lately I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Yelp photos to compare dishes from past years, and I did exactly that. I found a photo of the same fajitas from about three years ago...big, juicy steak pieces, sizzling on cast iron and full of life. What we got looked like it came from a completely different restaurant. To be fair, my shrimp tacos were actually pretty good. Nicely cooked shrimp, decent flavor, and probably the lone bright spot of the night. But overall, it felt like the La Tia I loved had quietly packed up and left the building. The elevated Mexican food? Gone. The rich sauces? Gone. The inventive cocktails that made the bar worth sitting at? Also gone. In their place: food that feels pulled from a bag... at prices that feel pulled from a luxury menu. It's a tough thing when a restaurant you once loved loses its spark. But sadly, this visit felt less like a reunion and more like running into an old friend who has completely changed--and not for the better. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see myself returning to La Tia anytime soon. Turns out the only thing that stayed spicy... was the price tag.

Taco Tuesday and I'm on a hunt for a good taco deal. I pass this place all the time and decided to…read moregive it a try. Decided to sit at the bar so I can get in and out quickly and have a little margarita. My server/bartender wasn't very attentive at all. I had to get his attention a few times for service because he was in his whole the whole time. I ordered a margarita that to me was okay, but it tasted much better after I asked to have a flavor added to it. I think it was hibiscus. I only got 2 tacos. The fish and shrimp. The fish was a little bland for my taste but the sauces and add ons saved it. This was an okay experience, I'm writing this place off. I plan to give them another shot and try some of their other menu items.

Went on a Saturday for brunch to try the birria and grits along with bottomless mimosas. Service…read morewas friendly, though it took a little while for my server to get to me at first. 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.

The service was nice and friendly. The house Margarita tasted balanced and definitely worth $5 on…read moreMondays. The strawberry Tres Leches on the other hand was not my favorite. I have never had a dry Tres Leches. The cake tasted half moist, no condensed milk flavor at all, the strawberry added a little flavor, otherwise it tastes like a cheap cake with whipped cream and a strawberry on top. I still love their churros and other menu items but this was not for me. If they improve the recipe I might try it again but for $8 it was not worth the buy.

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.
