Pacos Tacos

I came here on a random Thursday since my cousin recommended me this place. I got 4 of their Rock Tacos since they had a “Rocking Thursday” deal where each Rock Taco is $2.50 each every Thursday. I also got a bottled Coke from the fridge ($3.00). For the price, the portion was pretty big and had good flavoring to it. The shells were evenly fried so it wasn’t too overpowering. I just wished they told me the Consome added to my order was an additional $2.00, as I didn’t even know until after they gave me my receipt. The inside looked like your typical fast food dine in place, but it wasn’t dirty so the ambiance was okay. Service was alright. The person who rang my order could’ve been a little nicer, but at the same time she also wasn’t too rude if that makes sense. Overall, it’s a decent place to grab a couple tacos.

Food was awesome, made fresh right there. I only took away one star because it could have been cleaner. The tables had crumbs and so did the floor. Maybe it even needs to be updated. Only other downside, they don't serve" regular "margaritas everyday 😞. They did have prickly pear. **And we did receive a free taco that day**😊

I ordered the dog house shrimp burrito. No shrimp are in the burrito it’s full of rice. Very disappointed because I ordered here because of the high reviews. I also ordered the Popocatepetl Tostada with birria meat. No salt or flavor in this item and won’t order from here again.

The staff there were super nice however their food needs a little bit more work when it comes to tacos. I didn’t like the fact that I spent a lot of money for nothing. The flavor was there with the steak and you can tell it was grilled. However the chicken should have been grilled too instead of being sautéed in a panor cooked down in the pot! The guacamole should always be placed on the side when it comes to shrimp tacos or anything required that ingredient in your menu .unless your chipotle! What really got me is that I ordered the traditional tacos and seen that it came with beans. I was super disappointed of how small that cup was of beans especially the fact that it was CANNED BEANS. You can taste it A super Big No No, it was almost like there was no effort placed in, I look at it you guys are a restaurant not a fast food restaurant, don’t be scared to sometimes take your time on your ingredients and menu and food! Suggestions if your going to charge that high for tacos make sure there is a complimentary rice and or beans on the side instead of grilled onions..The Horchata was pretty good it was very sweet and creamy! However this food gets 2 stars for me

Everything we ordered was delicious. We even went back 4 nights in a row for the horchata. It's the best horchata that I have ever tasted!! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Also, the shirts they wear are absolutely hilarious. We will be going back. They have a forever repeat customer. Oh... the queso is perfect and a must buy with the nachos.

paid almost $8 for this tiny container of guacamole that does not even look fresh, AND another $5 for chips, both costing more than the 3 tacos I got. ridiculous prices, I will not be back.

My wife and I saw that this new location opened up. We decided to give it a shot. We were disappointed to find that the food lacked any flavor what so ever. I had the fried shrimp tacos. The shrimp were nice and big but NO FLAVOR. Wife had some tacos that tasted like nothing. Then the drinks. They only offer bottled drinks at crazy prices for 12oz bottles. On the up side the staff was friendly and they had some good music that made the place feel lively.

Lunch time with Co-workers. Y'all, Don't sleep on this Yummyyyy Deliciousmess. This place is a MUST TRY! The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The service is fast, courteous and friendly. And, the Food is (repeat) YUMMY DELICIOUSNESS!! ❤️👍🏾👍🏾❤️

10/10 Great place , very clean , food was cooked to perfection, very friendly staff .

My coworker picked up tacos, and I ordered the birria tacos. They were some of the best tacos I've had!

My first, in person visit at Pacos Tacos was a success. There is ample parking, as it is a part of a shopping center. The parking lot was easy to navigate and is located near an exit, to the main street. The inside of the store was extremely clean and organized. They have a condiments area, so you can stock up on napkins, cutlery, and sauces. The cashier was very friendly and quickly took the order. The store has a QR code to scan, for their menu. I scanned their menu, before my arrival. A free taco was included with my order and I was able to choose from steak, chicken, shrimp, and etc. I ordered to go and the food was the delicious. My favorite are their shrimp tacos. It is filled with flavor, in every bite. The shrimp were grilled and cooked to perfection. The steak was also very juicy and delicious. Their flavor is very authentic and everything was neatly packaged. I would recommend them, to anyone.

Good is great price is decent... but fern man some of the crew members there are such stuck ups and when I say thank you they don't even answer and just stair as if I was begging them for the food I paid for. Anyways hope she's not the owner because that would make it worse!!!

Cool atmosphere. Came when it wasn't packed, so I had quick, friendly service. Ordered rock tacos and 5 regular pork tacos which were hot and fresh. Consume could use a bit more flavor to it, but happy the tacos were crunchy and hot. Wasn't a big fan of pineapples in the trompo tacos which they could have done without. I would come back overall.

I love the food here it's always good! The cashiers are always nice and I've been to both pacos and I can say the same about both places! The only thing I do not care for is when I tried to tip the cashier, they stated they do not get the tips the owner keeps it "for taxes" I asked this at both locations every time I've gone and each time they have confirmed! So before you tip make sure it's cash and goes in their hand and they actually get to keep it! That's some shady shizzz!

Delicious Rock Tacos and Al Pastor! Pretty dang tasty top-shelf margarita, too! Staff was great!

This Pacos Tacos in Harvey,La location is unkept and dirty I really wanted to try it for the first time but left when I saw this and the Smell. Plus the guy prepping the food was touching everything with the gloves on he use to cook.

So excited that there is now a location on the Westbank on Manhattan Blvd. This Mexican food is so authentic and delicious and the prices are great too. I can not wait to go back.

Pacos Tacos is definitely a solid taco spot. The food is always fresh and tasty. There is not a lot of seating so if you go when it's busy and want to dine in, you may not have a spot to sit. But people typically don't dine in for long periods of time. This last visit I was pretty satisfied with my food. I ordered 2 rock tacos (birria tacos), a chicken taco and pork taco. I also ordered the queso and chips. The queso was very good, and I added the red salsa to give it an extra kick. I was a little disappointed that you only get the dipping broth for the birria tacos if you order a full order (3 tacos) and not with my 2 rock tacos. Especially considering that I racked up a $25 bill at a taco spot lmao. Other than that, I enjoyed my food and will probably be back again. I've also had the prickly pear margarita in the past it was algood but very sweet just FYI.

It's good food. It's real Mexican food. Rock Tacos with no Onions with Cilantro is my order you need to try it. Service is like usual restaurants. The mood is chill and friendly.

Tacos are great!! Authentic style, and really tasty. The best part, they let your pup come inside too! This works out so nice for us traveling with our pup. Service has been nice the two times we have gone too.

First time here today and the food was really good. The ingredients were hot and fresh. The place wasn't crowded so my order take long. Rock taco meat could have been a little more tender it was difficult to chew.

Excellent! Everything is good and fresh! Try the rock tacos. They won't disappoint! My go to spot!!!!

We dine in . Nice and clean restaurant. Very fast service and food was cooked to order and tasted great! . Definitely recommend.

Good taste. Of all my heroes and me in the mirror, great hunting for my favorite food

5 out of 5 Food and Service! Their tacos are just the perfect, great taste and presentation. The meals are being prep right in front of your eyes and the fresh smell of ingredients are spread throughout the restaurant. Service is friendly, respectful and good advice on the menu items. Great prices! PACOS TACOS!!!!!!!

We are in town visiting my dad and decided to get tacos. The prices were reasonable and the food was made to order. The tacos were generously topped with meats and cilantro/onions. Regular tacos were 5 for $10. The Birria tacos were 3 for $8.50 I believe. The Birria tacos were pretty good. I liked that they weren't greasy. The salsa bar was loaded with yummy sauces. I love that everything was individually packaged and easy to grab and go. The employees were nice. One of them gave me a bag for my salsas. Me and my sisters share 3 different tacos. Birria tacos 5/5 Skirt steak tacos 4/5 Trompo (pork) 3/5 the meat was a little dry to me. My husband had a dog house burrito. 3/5 he said it lacked flavor.

My first stop at Pacos. A friend suggested the Rock Tacos but I went with my faves, chorizo! I was not disappointed. The staff is kind and helpful if u're unsure what to order.

Came to visit their newest location in the area and grabbed a quick 5 for $10 street tacos. I love I can choose as many meats I want and do a mix and match moment. Decided to go with two pastor, two suadero, and one arrachera. Pastor is marinated pork cut straight from the trompo! Love that it's served with pineapple and trompo is a cooking method on it's own. Pretty cool machine to be honest and a great indicator that it's the real deal. Suadero is almost butter like in the sense it falls apart and is so tender. It's a style of brisket that is perfection. Arrachera is a skirt angus steak grilled so this is a great option if you have a very picky eater with you. I'll definitely be back!

This is apparently a new location on the Westbank, so the décor isn't completed yet, but I like how it looks so far! It's a neat open concept eatery with the cooking done in full-view of the customers. I purchased a shrimp version of their Dog Burrito (~$11 regular price), and it was fantastic! The cheese on the outside of the burrito had been grilled to perfection. Slightly burnt cheesy goodness adds that savory umami flavor on a soft tortilla to create a little corner of heaven in your mouth. The shrimp, beans, and Spanish rice were well-seasoned, and the raw onions and cilantro added a bit of zest. Really delicious burrito! It was also huge, so perfect for me to split with someone if I'm having other foods with it! They have a selection of hot sauces and extras (pickles and some toppings) you can try as well. Let me tell you, the hot sauces were no joke. I tried a few and they were HOT. Fun extra though if you're into heat! I also tried a tamarind flavored soda. I like that distinct tamarind taste! That was yummy, but a little bit pricy (~$3). I also got to try their Birria Ramen complimentary as a Yelp Elite Perk. This was disappointing if you were actually expecting ramen. It was more like a beef noodle soup (instead of a chicken noodle soup). The noodles were not quality ramen noodles. I thought it might be the instant kind that you can cook in the microwave. The broth was beefy and flavorful, but it was too salty - maybe it wasn't a good batch. The beef was only partially edible for me since it contained a lot of blubbery pieces (some people like beef fat, but I don't). All in all, the ramen was not good. They have other great food here, don't try ramen at a taco place. Although I will say, I AM Japanese and a self-proclaimed ramen snob, so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt! Like I said, this is a taco place, so I won't take any stars off for this. The one-star loss actually comes from the lack of masks on the staff. All of the customers had masks on, but 5 out of 6 employees I saw there did not have a mask on at all - not even on their chin. I went to Pacos Tacos before the mask mandate was removed as well, so no excuses. Even without a mandate, it's best if businesses have their employees continue wearing masks.

The food is average compared to real Mexican tacos. The issue is the lack of meat in every taco, I had birria tacos , tacos al pastor with piña tacos , birria ramen , and rock tacos. The portion with every taco was pretty small. Not sure if this is the business model to charge $10.50 for three tacos and give .50 cents of meat in the tacos. The Burris ramen had a good portion for the price. The birria they make here is just needing more seasoning. I've been here twice in 6 months and I can say they still need some work. The place is clean and I like how they have the salsa bar easy and accessible. If the service for three tacos could be quicker is my suggestion.

Very good tacos, would recommend. The service is really great. And the decorations are on a different level. I took one star off because some of my meat was burnt. But overall this place is great.

This restaurant packs on the flavor. I walked in and was immediately assisted with ordering. i ordered the Torta with steak. Everything is made to order. They have a salsa bar and I love it. There is minimal seating so it would be better for smaller groups like 2-4 people. I ordered for to-go. I did not have to wait long for my order and the torta was nice and warm and full.

I've been meaning to make my way to Pacos for a while and I can't believe that I've been missing out this whole time. If you aren't looking for it or don't know it's there it's easy to miss, but well worth the u-turn. I went with the Rock Tacos, which is their version of a birria taco. They came in a set of three along with the consomé. I loved everything about this dish. The crispiness of the shell, the tenderness and flavor of roast, the creaminess of the cheese. Perfecto. I got mine with onion and cilantro, but they also have a salsa bar with a few hot sauce options, pico, and pickled veggies. Naturally, I add all that because why not, but the taco just by itself is a really tasty treat. Just those three tacos alone were plenty to fill me up, but because it was Taco Tuesday, you get one free traditional taco with your order. I got the carnitas and passed it along to my friend and she had no complaints. I also tried the frozen prickly pear margarita. I wasn't sure what to expect flavor wise as I've never had prickly pear, but it was delicious. Just boozy enough and not too sweet by my palate. I'll have to go again when I'm not starving to take some photos. I'd already inhaled two by the time I remembered that cameras were a thing.

Amazing food. Fast service. Great ambiance Tried the 5 tacos meal nd tried each one of the different taco chooses

New to area and been trying lots of Mexican but not has has been any good except this place. Nice and authentic Mexican done right. They even included the limes!!!

I was excited to see that this spot has birria tacos! (I'm behind the trend, I know.) So I put in a to-go order of Rock tacos and a side soft shell steak taco to try them out. Overall, I'd have to say it was ok. The pork in the Rock tacos was flavored well and they did not skimp on meat; also, 3 medium sized tacos for $8.50 isn't bad at all! However, I was disappointed with the consome broth...it had no flavor to me! I ended up using the side dipping sauces to add flavor. And the steak taco was meh. Not that my expectations are super high for a flour tortilla with meat, onions, and cilantro, but the meat was super tough and dry and not very flavorful. So, overall, I believe that this spot is good as "chain" taco restaurant, and some dishes are probably higher quality than others. I'd grab the Rock tacos again at some point when I'm in the area.

When the birria craze first cropped up in mid/late 2020, I had to see what all the fuss was about and quickly googled "birria near me". Paco's Tacos was the first to pop up, so of course I headed out there to see wassham. Babbbyyy, these are some of the best birria tacos in the city of NOLA metro area -- known as their "Rock Tacos", the birria meat is dripping in the flavorful consome (broth) and is well seasoned without being too salty or spicy. That way you can control the spice level with their assortment of salsas. Additionally, they even have Birria ramen, as well as Costras (think traditional queso fundido and your choice of meat). Since trying the Metairie location, I was so elated to see that they now have a location in the heart of the West Bank on Manhattan. This location gets pretty crowded, and has limited indoor seating & alcohol choices compared to Metairie location -- so it's perfect for to-go or a quick lunch. Pro-Tip: Dip your Rock Tacos in the consome & then the spicy quacasalsa dip on the side So safe to say Paco's Tacos is #TheFrench75DietApproved so get your eats on and tell em #TheFrench75Diet sent ya.

The West Bank finally has a dedicated taco spot! Paco's Tacos is here to make all of my taco dreams come true. I stopped in here on a Tuesday, and I think it was Taco Tuesday or something because when I ordered the five tacos for $10 deal, the woman who took my order through in an extra taco. Score! I got the the Arrachera, Birria, Suadero and Chorizo tacos. It was all so good! The meat was sliced fresh and it's all made to order. They even have a salsa bar, so you can add your own fixins as you see fit. They have margaritas too, so I'm going to have to go back and try them. On Wednesdays, they have two for one margaritas, so you can get two margaritas for $12, which is pretty good. I'm pretty excited that Paco's tacos is in the area, and I will definitely be visiting here regularly. I wrote about this spot for Big Easy Magazine. Check it out here: https://www.bigeasymagazine.com/2021/04/28/pacos-tacos-brings-its-authentic-street-tacos-to-the-westbank/

Having just moved back to the West Bank after living in Houston for 5 years, I was super excited they have birria tacos on this side of the river! And they definitely live up to the ones in Texas so props to them. I will definitely be visiting multiple times a month for the foreseeable future.

Upon entering, you can smell the aroma of food and what I assume as cooked meat. I was promptly greeted by the staff and handed a menu. The menu is simple, not a lot of options, which is good because it forced you to order quickly. I ordered the birria, which is a burrito wrapped in a standard flour tortilla but then it's wrapped up in a layer of grilled cheese. It was essentially a grilled cheese burrito with the content of beef, rice, and beans inside. It also comes with a side of ramen, which is so interesting, since I've never heard or seen of ramen + Hispanic food coming together. The burrito is huge, so come hungry. Also I personally feel like the layer of grilled cheese is a lot and makes the meal heavier. I had to scrape off half of the cheese off, then I felt it was proportionally appropriate and I was able to get a good bite of rice, cheese, etc. It was extremely flavorful. I also ordered the quesadilla with brisket, or the 'penny' according the menu. They overly stuffed this quesadilla and I felt the brisket was on the drier side. I had to add sour cream from home to balance the dryness. There's also a salsa bar which is pretty cool and the sign shows the volume of heat for each salsa. I was pretty much a sissy because I thought the tomatillo was too spicy! Overall good experience with good food and friendly staff. My only critique besides the brisket being on the drier side was that majority of the staff did not wear masks. Our State hasn't issued that we can remove masks in public settings yet, and I appreciated that all the customers upon entering wore masks.

I've heard a lot of hype about pacos tacos, especially the rock tacos so I had to give it a try for myself. Walking in, there were a few tables and I saw a section for drinks and a sauce bar. The cashier is to the right when walking in. I placed my order fairly quickly and once I was done paying and picked a table to sit at, my order was already finished. That seemed oddly fast for me. We ordered 2 orders of rock tacos and 2 cokes. The food was underwhelming. It was room lukewarm and not hot at all. Didn't seem fresh to me. The sauce bar has a lot of variety, but I couldn't distinguish a lot of the sauces. There's a board that tells you the names and heat level, but on the sauces itself, there is no label of indication. The consome had steam coming out, but it was also barely warm. I was pretty disappointed having heard so many great reviews. I felt like the tacos were missing something. They weren't the most flavorful, but not bland either. I'm not sure what it was missing. One of the best sauces was I think an avocado sauce. It was a thicker light green color and was really good. I didn't really like any of the other sauces. Service was fast and the workers were really friendly. Our order came out to about $22. Not too bad. Maybe my visit was a fluke. At least I'm hoping it was.

Love their tacos. Their ethnic Mexican food is delicious. I do recommend if you want real Mexican food

Great quick-service Mexican spot. As a self proclaimed taco aficionado (San Diego native here!) I approve of the Rock Tacos--also known as birria tacos. Not too greasy, and the salsas offered at their self-serve bar are all made in-house and sooo good. Husband had beans which we aren't used to, so that was the only negative. The service at the register was also excellent and the food came out in a timely manner. Definitely recommend!

Food was amazing large portions and fresh as it can get rock tacos and a shrimp burrito it was taco Tuesday so go a free taco chick all very hot. Fresh veggie bar with in house salsa so good. Margarita wasn't bad either... So stop in look forward to your post!

First time visiting the restaurant was rewarding! They were quick to make my order, good friendly customer service, and the rock tacos with spicy stew were amazing!

I enjoyed my meaty introduction to this restaurant which is near to the westbank. I had a coupon for a free Rock Taco. I had no idea what to expect and was gratified to receive three tacos in homemade like shells (not like ones you find in the grocery store). They were stuffed with shredded beef and served with a dipping sauce. The location is new enough that the wheelchair ramp still had caution tape roping it off.

I finally got a chance to visit this place to try their rock tacos. While i was there I also got 2 street taco one chicken and pineapple pork and a shrimp taco. I only tried the Rock and the shrimp they were both good.

You can't deny the delicious taste of the meats in the tacos. Yes I was drooling. The guacamole was bland but I'm not sure if that was to contrast the steak bites but it could've used some salt or flavor. I should've asked for extra cilantro on the rock tacos because it was over powered by onions even though I asked for little onions. I would definitely come back and try the other menu options.

They sell good food. Only bad thing is that the customer service is horrible. I do not recommend to those who are looking to spend a splendid time. Might as well pay for your food and eat in the car or elsewhere. I've had the birria tacos and the steak burrito. 8/10 for the food. 0/10 for the service. There was one nice guy who was smiling and welcomed me in but i haven't seen him again and don't know his name.

When it comes to tacos, Paco Tacos delivers. Their menu is very representative of Mexican street food and whatever selection you make is a good one. Paco Tacos let's you select your choice of meats in your taco and provide a variety of side salsas, etc. All proteins are well season and delicious. For individuals in low carb diets, Paco Taco offers the Costra which is a cheese scab as your taco shell with your choice of proteins. Absolutely puts a Fiesta in your mouth! Their prices are reasonable. Excellent customer service and nice dining area.

I've heard so many great things about Paco taco so I had to go try them out for myself. The staff was friendly but I was disappointed with my food. It didn't have much flavor to it .

Heard raved reviews but a let down. The home girl who takes your order was sooo inattentive. We changed our order and she didn't even register it. Glad my wife caught it or else I would have gotten 5 steak tacos instead of two. Let me tell you about their soft tacos. It's sooooooooo soggy. I'm used to having my tortillas toasted so eating theirs was a disappointment. More so when the sogginess just breaks the tacos apart. The birria tacos and consome were good. Not amazing but good. The best part was the horchata. Overall...no round 2 for me.

I love pacos tacos! I always get the costra (fried cheese) get if your keto or you just love cheese. I have gotten it with suadero and I have gotten it with chorizo. Both phenomenal. Strongly recommend the prickly pear margarita. I have gotten the rock tacos and ramen. Honestly if I'm in the West Bank - like any part Algiers or Greta.... if I get on that bridge I'm go to Paco the food is that bomb. Gooooo and order anything you will enjoy!

Food and service is always the best! Especially the rock tacos! They also have a great point system for savings.

The food is horrible. They made my tacos look so good but when I took a bite into it, it was HORRIBLE. The service is average and the place looks ok.

You have got to try the Rock Tacos. Believe me, they are fantastic. We've tried all their tacos and love them all. Believe me, I'm from California where you get great Mexican food, and this place is legit. Pacos has become a staple in our family. My only negative would be that they don't have any sides. They have Margarita's that are fantastic too! Don't miss this place.

Ordered the Rock Taco. They were really good. The staff was nice. The food came out quick and hot.
