Reviews for Paco's Tacos Cantina in Los Angeles, CA
Researched sit-down Mexican food options near LAX and was not disappointed. The carne adobada had a unique flavor with sweet,... cinnamon notes; rice and beans were good, too. But the huge, warm, light, fresh house-made tortillas and spicy, flavorful salsaand warm chips stole the show. Attentive, friendly, relatively fast service despite a busy Saturday evening. My drink was neverempty. You can tell this is a local place and that the staff know many of the regulars and chat with them in Spanish. It feelslike an old school California Mexican restaurant in all the best ways. Highly recommend. Read more
The food came out quickly. Too quickly. It worries me that everything was microwaved from pre prepped frozen. It definitely... tasted like it. The food was bland, lacked proper seasoning, and was without flavor. Even the tamales, which was a shame becausethey do a nice old school tamale with pork, potato, and carrot. It was completely hammered by reheating and smothered in anequally tasteless sauce. The restaurant itself was dirty and disheveled. The bar area wasn't open to the public and it appearedto be used as storage. The entire place needs to be disinfected. It was disgusting. Read more
Super friendly service from multiple people. I had a carne asada burrito wet with enchilada sauce and it was amazing. Anytime I... have a layover in LA I?m going to Pacos! Read more
Right before waiting 15 minutes for a table, I asked the host if they had any available tables inside, to which he rudely... responded indoor dinning is all we have and continued rephrasing everything i asked as if we weren't both speakingEnglish..being that it was a Saturday night my boyfriend and I figured it was worth the wait. I ordered the plate with thechicken enchilada and beef tamale with the side of refried beans and rice. The rice was not authentic Spanish rice, the tamalewas a mess from the dry and salty masa to the dry, rubbery meat. The enchilada tortilla did not taste handmade and the chickenwas cut into squares, once again a mess because it's suppose to be shredded. To drink i had an horchata which honestly was thebest item, good flavor, but also $3.50 a cup, average size cup mind you, AND NO REFILL. They give you a large basket of corntortilla chips when you first get seated, guess it's because the actual meal is far from satisfying. Read more
Paco's Tacos has great food with a moderately priced. I had Enchiladas with refried beans and the best Spanish Rice I have ever... had. I will be going back very soon. I do advise to Park on the backside away from Manchester Avenue. Read more

Came here as soon as I landed as it was late and seemed to be the best option that was close to the airport. Ordered these tacos... that had this spicy coleslwa on it that was good however changes the taste a little too much on the tacos. The tacos were not asauthentic as I was hoping and the appetizer was great and wholesome with many dips to choose from. The fries were average butoverall was still a good experience. The Mexican coleslaw that they put on the tacos was not what I expected as I would not havegot it on the side as it seems too repetitive. Staff was kind and would definitely come back and give some of the other menuitems another try. Support local businesses. Read more
The food was good and the fresh tortillas are amazing. Service and atmosphere is very good. The inside is much larger than... expected and it was very busy. Prices are a little high but servings are large. Read more
