Came here with my mom, sister and aunt. We got street tacos and Nachos. Just WOW. So good. Small restaurant but quick and friendly service.

Located in one of the many strip mall buildings in Turkey Creek, it is as easy to find as any other place there. Parking is tight, as it is for every business in the area. We were able to find a space very near the front door. I didn't specifically notice a handicapped space, but that is not under control of the business. Walking in, the dining area is bright and open. There is a mix of tables with seats along the wall. You can also sit at the front window. The menu is above the counter in the rear of the dining area. It is well designed and easy to navigate. There is also a salsa bar to the left as you come in with a selection of salsa options. Our food took maybe 10 minutes after we ordered. The street tacos (asada and carnitas) were very good. Adding the mild or hot salsa from the bar really made the flavors pop. The tacos were decent size for the price and the fillings were fresh plentiful. The Paco's Nachos were also very good. The chips were crisp and warm and the toppings were hot, fresh, and plentiful as well. Overall, Tia's is a great choice for a quick lunch. They have an excellent menu selection and the salsa bar is an added bonus. This is definitely worth a stop. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. Only a few people when we arrived around 11:30 but it was full (rather small dining area) by noon. We were greeted and our order taken promptly. Started with some guacamole and chips. It was fresh and really good. They have a salsa bar with five different salsa. For those who love hot, the habanero was fantastic. I had a shrimp taco on flour tortillas and a carnitas taco. You can choose your style such as traditional American or street. I picked street style for both. Both tacos were tasty with good portions. My wife had a carne asada taco and a small order of nachos also with carne asada. She loved it all. We enjoyed everything and plan on returning soon. read more

Fish taco was the best I've had in Knoxville! The service was fast and the staff was able to answer my silly questions without any problems. The restaurant is not huge but the food compensated for it. If we lived closer we could've done take out like many others that came by but this was our first visit and we were hungry. I will definitely be back! read more

The Mexican food here was just great.It reminded me of san diego , california from where i'm from . It was my 75 birthday dinner my wife Diane took me to The staff\n Were great service, really good tasting food. We'll go back again. Good people here run this business. read more

It was fast and good food It was very good and loud atmosphere. The kids in the next boothwe were loud and enthusiastic

Absolute best street taco and hands down best margarita in town! Their hours can be a little strange, they close at 8, but sometimes start to shut down a little earlier. But worth it for a margarita that good. read more

Wow! This place knows how to make a street taco! Fresh corn tortillas and no scrimping on meats made to perfection! Cilantro and onions or go American with cheese and sour cream if you choose (I chose the former). Salsas are made in house and the best we've had in the south. If you like a West Coast, L.A., Baja style experience this is it! Love the South but hadn't found a taco this good since California! Yum!! read more

First time visit, I found my place. I went with classic carne asada corn tortilla tacos (3) just to set a benchmark compared to a million other places I've devoured these. Big tortilla, lots of carne, and cilantro and onion to top. 5 fresh options at the salsa bar. Everything together is flavorful and just perfect. Chef's kiss. read more

Having lived many years in Southern California I've had some of the most authentic Mexican street food available. Who knew that Knoxville would have a place like Paco's Taco's that rivals the best of the best? The soft corn tortillas are hand made and are some of the best I've ever had. They're soft, don't crack and spill half the filling in your lap and are delicious! I could eat them by themselves! Was able to make the Flacos Burrito (already vegan) gluten free by turning it into a bowl. I like that instead of "rice & beans" it was rice and potatoes with spinach, corn and avocado. Nice touch. Also had the Nopales (cactus) and Championes (mushroom) tacos. Both were really flavorful. You can get them either traditional with onion and cilantro or American with lettuce, tomato and cheese. The American method would, obviously, not be vegan, and isn't how I'd choose to eat a taco anyway! The service was efficient and the food came out fast! It's a walk up and order at the counter and get a number kind of place which helps for a speedy meal. Don't forget to check out the salsa bar, the blended jalapeño is my favorite. read more

A true hidden gem. I usually stay in the Tri hotels and one was just a short distance away. Always in need of good Mexican I gave this place a shot. I had 2 fish tacos, 2 carne Asada tacos and 2 El Pastor tacos. As well a serving of their house made guacamole. Everything was just as it should be. They were out of cane it's but I left satisfied! The salsa bar is always a good thing and this one had the full range including a guacamole salsa which was great! The only thing I could possibly complain about would be the fool drivers not being able to park between the lines. See first picture. I'll definitely be back whe I stay in this local hotel again!! read more

The tortillas alone are reason to give Paco's a visit, but the rest of the food from the meat to the condiments are excellent. Service is friendly and quick. Highly recommend! We most enjoyed the chorizo and al pastor tacos. read more

So much hype. SO worthy of said hype! Stopped in with empty stomachs and an absurd amount of taco enthusiasm. This small shop is located next to Noodles and Co. in Turkey Creek and has a clean and modern interior with plenty of seating, a salsa bar, and a counter that you order and pay from. Once food is done, they bring it to your table. Owner, Luis, was behind the counter and greeted us warmly and walked us through his favorites. He quickly pointed us to the pastor (grilled, marinated, pork tenderloin) dishes. Ummm... yes. Great recommendation. There are also several kinds of drinks, including Jarritos Mexican sodas, horchata, margaritas, and fresh juices. We ordered a pastor taco, a pescado (grilled mahi-mahi) taco, pastor burrito, chips and queso, and street corn. It was all incredible, especially paired with the five salsas. We especially liked the house salsa and the verde/green salsa. The tacos and burrito are all highly-customizable. You can get them with lettuce, tomato, cheese or with onion and queso fresco. Other toppings to add on as well. Definitely opt to get the homemade corn tortillas instead of flour. Wow. The street corn had the perfect amount of lime and cheese to make it pop without an overpowering creaminess that some places add with mayo. We will definitely get pastor dishes again and will try the carnitas and carne asada next time, too. Great service and great food. I hope they are around for a very long time. read more

Their choice for meats is very good and they have a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The staff is courteous and the place is always clean. They have a good variety of homemade sauces and Mexican drinks. All in all I highly recommend Paco's Tacos for lunch or dinner! read more

Went here for lunch and was very skeptical. Glad I tried it out. I got the Americana burrito and it was good I added guacamole to it because I don't like dry burritos. The guacamole was very good jalapeños tomatoes onion and salt yummy The green salsa was definitely different and I would never ever eat it the medium salsa was just okay. I like that the chips were served warm. Shrimp tacos are good Would go back to try other items read more

Definetly a great taco shop. Choice of meats allows for everyone to find their calling. The shop was clean and the staff was friendly. I had the carne asada torta sandwich which was phenominal tasting. The salsa bar was nice to accentuate your taste and heat level. Craving tacos this is your place. Grab a beer or margarita and get your grub on. read more

Good food. Quick service. They care about helping customers avoid allergies. Try the nachos.

The best burritos in Farragut hands down. We had the Ricardo and Vincente and they were fantastic. Cooked to order and came out quickly. The salsa bar had 5 options, which is really all we needed. The pineapple agua fresca was immaculate and I'd definitely recommend everyone getting it. The Tres Leches was also great and I'd get it again. The place was a bit small, especially seating-wise but there was still enough room to sit during a busy hour there. read more

So good!! tried all the tacos. Yummmmm. Totally legit. Thank you!! The service is quick, the tacos are big. The meat is juicy.

My wife and I tried this restaurant tonight. I gave it 5 stars for the food. We split 3 Fish tacos and the Freda a burrito with grilled chicken, mushrooms, onions, and a cheese sauce with rice. Five unique and homemade salsas are spicy I really liked the garlic jalapeño salsa on the burrito, several of the sauces were hot. The tacos were flavorful and filled with pickled onions and queso fresco. The Mahi Mahi was grilled and very meaty it was accompanied by a very tasty remeoulade sauce. The food is outstanding. The style of the food is more like a Baja California Mexican very fresh and spicy. On the downside I'm not a fan of plastic ware and the space is small. read more

I've been looking for a delicious Mexican restaurant and I have found it! I was super excited when I saw Lengua on the menu and homemade corn tortillas. They didn't disappoint! I've been visiting a lot lately and have been trying different items each time. Everything has been sooo fresh with lots of flavor and authentic to the culture. My fave meat (so far) has been the Carnitas. The meat literally falls apart! Not only is the food good, but the service and the price will also keep you coming! Stop by and make it your Taco Tuesday (or everyday) hot spot! read more

Nice place and I'm sure I'll go back. I only had a taco, for a trial run....but it was very good. The corn tortilla was really nice; wish I could make them that well. Filling was fine, although I'd have loved to have the taco done the more traditional style, with them giving me a bowl of onions and a bowl of cilantro and letting me add as I wish (I'm a cilantro fanatic). The salsa bar had several nice alternatives but gee, it sure seemed difficult to get the salsa out of the small slot without spilling any! I want to try MORE next time, even though the price per taco is a bit steep for the area. The quality of the meat etc. made that a small issue, though. read more

A "go-to" favorite for us. If you're looking for a different experience than the typical pop-up Mexican places, this one will not disappoint and is anything but.... they use fresh ingredients to put out some incredible food and flavors. Vicente Burritos is a standard go to item for many patrons and will not disappoint. Love their salads and ake sure to try a side of the guacamole and a side of the street corn too. Salsa bar that runs the spectrum of flavors and tastes. Only disappointing thing sometimes is that they arent open on Sundays. Enjoy! read more

My parents are regulars at this restaurant so I thought I would give it a try while in Knoxville. The service was fast, staff was so nice, and food and drinks were incredible. I got an el pastor taco and a Mahi Mahi taco and both were incredible. The salsa and queso was also definitely some of the best I have had. I got a margarita on the rocks and they pre make all the margs (I think) but it was one of the best margs I've had in a while. Definitely tasted stronger but in a great way and it was delicious! I definitely understand the hype and will be returning soon! read more

I finally got to check this taco shop out yesterday. It's such a hidden gem. Being from California I have not found authentic Mexican food in the East Tennessee area until now. My friend and I ordered the Trio with guac, salsa, and queso it was delicious. The chips were warm and fried fresh! Their salsa bar has an incredible array of salsas to try. We both ordered different kinds of chicken burritos they were large, warm, and extremely filling. Mine had the chipotle sauce which was not too spicy but very flavorful. I can't wait to come back again to try the tacos and other things on the menu. If you're looking for a delicious and flavorful meal check out Pacos. read more

West coast transplant who can't ever find good Mexican food. It's not a 1:1 but it is a great place for what they offer. The employees, especially Elleree, were great! We will surely come back. I got the House burrito which was yummy and a size difficult to finish. Bathrooms even have the executive TP. We drove 45min+ to try and will make a habit of coming back. read more

Paco's is our new favorite taco shop ever since it was recommended to us. I found out it has been here for over three years. I'm wondering how I did not find this sooner. It definitely is a special place. Everything here is fresh. Nothing is fried. Only grilled. Careful attention is paid to the ingredients of each dish making them as fresh as possible. Recently I ordered the Mahi Taco. Three for $12 and worth every dime. It was a delicious treat. The burritos and quesadillas are out of this world. i'm sure the other offerings are as good, but I'm the kind of guy that at times, will stick with a single item if it really teases my palate. Great food Friendly staff Great food Super clean Great food Exceptional Margaritas Did I say "great food?" Si si señor!!! read more

Located in Turkey Creek, you might miss this small place if you aren't looking. My go to order is a carne asada taco or two, and a margarita on the rocks. The tortillas are freshly made. The ingredients are fresh and delicious and healthy. The menu is clearly marked with allergen info and the restaurant boasts options for both the gluten free and vegan crowd. There is a fresh salsa bar with homemade salsas. My favorite being a garlic, jalapeño salsa! I've never come and not seen the owner running things. I don't know his name but he is very friendly, efficient and I enjoy the atmosphere very much. read more

Very fresh ingredients. Nice salsa bar. Best tacos we have had in the Farragut area. Good service and nice people.

A great little casual Mexican fare spot. The wait staff is inviting and attentive. You order at a counter and the food is brought out to you. Reasonably priced for the money. Tacos are $4. I absolutely love the chicken tacos! I'm usually a steak person, but the chicken gets the nod here. They have a variety of burritos to choose from if you are not feeling the street tacos. Good chips and cheese dip. The Mexican style guacamole is also yummy. Try the yucca fries as a side dish. read more
