“ Not sure how I've lived in North County so long and am just now discovering this gem. My husband and I were craving adobada street tacos, fish tacos, and rolled tacos and came here on a whim and it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked to perfection, they also had a great selection of salsas. We'll be back for more, highly recommend if you're looking for authentic hole in the wall Mexican food. ”
“ Clean and nicely decorated taco joint with very friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable The salsa bar is AMAZING. Everything sauce is so tasty! Tacos: - Carne asada: well-seasoned meat, very flavorful and moist. - Tripes (crispy/fried): too dry, I didn't expect them that crispy. Don't get me wrong: it was good. I'll try non fried tripes next time. - Birria (lamb): that was the best of the best. Delicious goodness. Juicy, tasty... I'll definitely go back and try more! Especially the fish taco... ”
“ Bomb tacos. The birria is on point. Rolled taquitos are so good. No matter what you get here it's good. ”
“ It looks like a very ordinary taco shop but behold: it is far better than your ordinary taco shop. The carnitas burrito is huge and is jam-packed with juicy, tender meat. It's delicious. The fish taco is good-sized (two of them would be enough for a meal) and it's covered in fresh slaw and sauce. The fish is battered and is very good. The quesabirria, which comes with lamb, is a fantastic greasy guilty pleasure. Even the side of chips was warm and salted. Finally, you can't miss the hot sauce cart sitting in the middle of the dining room. There are limes and a decent carrot/onion mixture and nine different sauces. And, unlike nearly every other taco shop, the sauces here are marked by name and heat. And, as someone who has a very high tolerance for spice, the "hot" sauces here are legitimately hot. Proceed with caution. Give this very un-ordinary taco shop a try. The food here is very good. ”
“ Wow. The menu selection is crazy. I usually don't see Gorditas and Mulitas on the menu so I had to try. Carne Asada was so flavorful it shook me!!!! Also ordered rolled potato tacos and they were probably the best I've ever had. 10/10 recommend ”
“ Fantastic rolled tacos and regular tacos. Lots of different options of salsa too. Nice staff and quick turn around. ”
“ Absolutely love this place! Diverse menu, ample seating, TVs, great parking. And darn good food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”
“ Had a friend pick up some tacos from here and brought it back for us to try out. Yes, we're lazy, let's be clear about that. THE FOOD. - Chicken Taco | Slightly juicy and tender. The chicken was seasoned well. - Fish Taco | Probably the best one of the group. Lightly battered fish while maintaining its tender texture and flakiness. - Carne Asada Taco | I liked the carne asada's sweet and citrus notes. This was also tender & juicy. - Al Pastor Taco | More sweet than the carne asada, this taco had pineapple chunks strewn about. Very tasty. THE RETURN? I want more fish tacos from here! ”
“ Food (5/5 stars): Tacos Don Paco is a great taqueria in Vista! I like sampling different tacos during my first visit, so I went with the Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Fish, and Shrimp. The fish was surprisingly my favorite! It was fried to perfection and the slaw and crema complimented it nicely. My second favorite was the al pastor because of its flavor. The carne asada was grilled well but didn't stand out. And I really enjoyed the shrimp but the taco didn't need the bell peppers. Overall, I recommend checking it out and will be back for their Quesabirria Tacos! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: reasonable * Wait Time: minimal * Service: good * Parking: there's a parking lot * Ambiance: it was a standard yet charming taqueria. I love what they did with the wall! ”
