“Great tacos and Mexican food in the Southside of Chicago.”

Great tacos and Mexican food in the Southside of Chicago. I had the pastor, carne asada, and one I can't remember what it was, but all three were amazing.

This place is amazing and they are not cheap on the meat. They load those tacos up quick service. I go there at least once a week. lol

“Paco’s Tacos is one of those places I don’t visit often, but every time I do, it’s an absolute home run.”

Paco’s Tacos is one of those places I don’t visit often, but every time I do, it’s an absolute home run. No matter which location I go to, the flavor is always on point, but this spot was the first one I tried and it set the standard high. This time, I ordered two arrachera tacos, and they were nothing short of perfect. Each taco was beautifully formed, with just the right balance of ingredients. The portion was more than generous, but what stood out was the sheer quality. The tortillas, golden, slightly crisped on the edges, yet soft enough to wrap around the filling, were the perfect vessel for the juicy, flavorful arrachera. The meat itself was expertly seasoned, grilled to perfection with just the right amount of char, and so tender that it practically melted with each bite. Every chew released a burst of rich, smoky, and slightly citrusy notes, making it clear that this wasn’t just any taco, it was crafted with care and experience. Topped with fresh onions and cilantro, the tacos had that ideal contrast of crunch and freshness against the deep, savory meat. A squeeze of lime brought it all together, enhancing the flavors even further. And let’s not forget their salsas, each one adding its own kick, whether you wanted a bold, smoky heat or a bright, tangy finish. These tacos didn’t just satisfy my hunger, they reminded me why I keep coming back. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers flavor, consistency, and that undeniable feeling of comfort food done right, Paco’s Tacos is it. You have to try them.

People say the tacos are pricey but when you take a bite and see all that meat fall off the super filled taco, well worth every penny. Everything on the menu is delicious. The Mexico market seating sets the mood so perfectly.

“Without exception one of the best taco places in Chicago.”

Without exception one of the best taco places in Chicago! I have never had a bad experience here, ever. I moved to the suburbs and still come here for tacos. The tacos are nice and fat, meat is tender and flavorful. The salsas are exceptional as well!!

“Even though I only had one taco here (unfortunately), I’d put Paco’s as among my top taco spots in Chicago.”

Even though I only had one taco here (unfortunately), I’d put Paco’s as among my top taco spots in Chicago! It’s a casual taco joint with no table service that also sells tortas, burritos, and tostadas. I had one barbacoa taco, which it was excellent, fresh, and the meat was robust in flavor. The tacos came out quickly, and were priced very reasonably. The only seating is on the chairs lining the walls; it was pretty empty when we went on a Saturday afternoon, so we easily found seats. I will definitely be back in the future!!

“One of the best places for any type of taco I’ve ever had and I’ve literally been to over 50...”

One of the best places for any type of taco I’ve ever had and I’ve literally been to over 50 different taco places, including 15 in Mexico City, 10 in LA, and more. Their poblano and cheese my wife and I agreed is one of the best tacos of any kind we’ve ever had anywhere. Their al pastor, asada, and carnitas were all very good and way better than average. The chicharrone was the best I’ve ever had. Service was a little slow, but it was packed and at lunch time. Also, many of their tacos were PACKED with meat. It was overall extremely good value! Their salsas were better than average too. Inside you could get seating right up front to watch them cook which was cool.

“They specialize in tacos, of course.”

They specialize in tacos, of course! They also have tortas, burritos, and tostadas. You can get pretty full off of 2-3 tacos. My go-to are the barbacoa tacos. Very juicy. My new favorites, however, are the carnitas tacos. They were super-packed with pork -- fresh and juicy meat (not dry like some other places). Note that seating is all high-top chairs. You can also take things to go, like ready-to-eat meat and chicharones for dinner or a party. Bring Paco's Tacos wherever! Loved this place for years. Glad they're still in business and still great quality.

“One of my top contenders for tacos.”

One of my top contenders for tacos. This place has a great generous taco. These tacos are bit pricey but well worth it. They have a few locations. All on the southside of Chicago.
