They have super breakfast tacos! Have been a fan for many years. The breakfast tacos are available with many options and are seriously loaded. Service has always been superb. Inside and outside the decor is nice with an old county style.

As soon as we pulled into the driveway, I knew I was going to love it. Paco's Tacos has a fun, quirky, friendly vibe. The food is yummy. Don't skip the chips and queso. I had the Paco's Pick combo, which has ample tender steak and straps of poblano. We ate inside, only because it's so hot out. But the patio looked very inviting.

Paco's is always a good choice for a delicious taco. The "Hook Em" is one of my favorites, but I've never had a bad meal here. It can be a little pricey (~$6 per signature taco), but worth it when you think about how much anything costs these days. The Breakfast Tacos are huge, and amazingly delicious. Carne Guisada, Carne Asada, and Fajita Tacos are all worth the money, as well. I'm just glad Paco's has stayed open so long, and continues to provide the same consistently good quality that they did when they first opened, many years ago. The decor is funky & entertaining- plenty of cool knick knacks & old signs to look at, inside & out. Staff is always very kind, food comes out fast & hot. Oh, and they always have at least 5 different types of salsa, which are each delicious & unique- ranging from Spicy Honey Habanero down to a Mild Red Garden Salsa. The outdoor seating area is pleasantly arranged, mostly shaded, and inviting. The high rock wall in front helps you forget that it's located on such a busy street, which is nice for a mid-day lunch or early breakfast alone, or with friends.

Hidden gem! Fantastic patio, really good food at a really good price. Live music at brunch was great, not too loud, could still have conversations. Super staff.

Both tacos, our tortillas, the rice and beans were flavorful and tender. Sweet tea was perfect (and getting harder to find done well!!?). Reminds me of old Austin, thought maybe same architect as Jovitas!

Very solid tacos. Really enjoyed the veggie chorizo. Great for dine in (they a medium sized indoor space and a very large outdoor space) or take out. Want to come back sample some additional salsas - only had the habanero. Would recommend this spot for any meal of the day. Also there is lots of onsite parking.

It's a shame it's taken us so long to eat here. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce, the hubbs had the shrimp enchiladas with red sauce, and we ordered some bean & cheese tacos to-go for the kiddo to have for supper. The food was amazing - these folks know how to cook shrimp! They popped, just like they're supposed to - meaning they weren't overcooked and chewy. The rice was buttery and delicious - the best I've had eating out in Austin - and the beans were perfect. The chicken in my enchiladas was stewed, juicy, and full of flavor. We washed it all down with margaritas on the rocks, which were equally as delicious as the food, and some of the best and most reasonably priced around. We'll be back sooner than later to try more from the menu!

Went here based off its google rating. Man it was well worth it. First time having it and it was great. We had 2 breakfast tacos with eggs and sausage and one of them had pico and fresh jalapeño . And I had one paco taco to just give their other stuff a try. It was Al very good. The place kinda has a weird look to it but it’s a wacky cool type of place. It was very clean inside as well. Glad we went and we’d definitely go back.
