★★★★☆ 4.0 Solomoca · Dec 2025

Not much to say. The food was phenomenal. I almost started to lick my plate. The chips for my salsa were so warm and good. The shrimp were a healthy size and plentiful. Overall an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

I had the Al pastor taco plate and the meat was seasoned perfectly. They were very tasty. My dad had the steak and shrimp fajitas and he said they were delicious.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Doug Dathe · Jan 2026

The steak burrito done enchilada style was truly a solid meal! The fact that it was our cheapest meal (possibly the biggest portion too) on the island to date only made it that much better. Packed with tender pcs of steak that had been thrown with pico de gallo, wrapped and smothered in a molè inspired enchilada sauce! I will definitely be back here!

★★★★★ 5.0 Barb Leggett · Nov 2025

We had such a great time at Paco’s Tacos. The staff were absolutely fantastic—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole visit feel extra special. The food was amazing, full of flavour and really well prepared, and the prices were surprisingly good for the quality you get. The restaurant itself has a clean, comfortable atmosphere with a homey feeling that makes you want to stay and enjoy every bite. Overall, a wonderful experience. Even though we weren’t on the island for long, we visited multiple times.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jaimee Smart · Jan 2026

It could have just been what we got but we were highly disappointed. We came looking for fish tacos and they were very bland and lacking the fresh flavor. They had minimal sauce on them and when we requested more due to their lack of flavor, they said we’d each have to be charged. The service was good but slow for us being one of the only parties. Overall, I’d skip it and head to one of the taco food trucks.
