A word from Paco's Tacos & Tequila
Paco’s Tacos & Tequila offers big Texas flavor in Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood. FS Food Group founder Frank Scibelli traveled Texas with Tex-Mex culinary expert and cookbook author Robb Walsh in order to uncover the secrets of authentic Tex-Mex recipes, and the attention to detail shines… through in the bold flavors of each dish. A variety of spices that season Paco’s dishes are imported from a Texas-based company, and a tortilla machine creates fresh tortillas daily.

From the Wood-Fired Grilled Fajitas to the Cheese Enchiladas with chili con carne, Paco’s menu showcases the freshest quality ingredients. Central to the dining experience is the bar, which features more than 85 tequila varieties, several outstanding wines and a selection of beers from Texas, Mexico and North Carolina. No need to travel to Texas for your fix-join us for lunch or dinner seven days a week and see why Paco’s is always the hot spot! Continued

  • "We attended during restaurant week. We were blown away by the amazing service! The food was good and I'm excited to try the regular menu. The atmosphere was great! I love the open kitchen. I would definitely go back to Paco's Tacos for some of the best service I've ever had anywhere!"
    Dined on 7/26/2014
  • "Overall the food was tasty, but far too salty. The food came out very quickly - too quickly and the experience felt very rushed. Our server was friendly and almost too attentive, stopping by very often. Restaurant was quite loud too, so hard to hear my date. We had a call to confirm out reservation and it was very strict - you must arrive within 15m of reservation and all of your party must be present. When we arrived, mt date had a strbx water and the hostess was quite direct asking what was in the cup and stated that he would have to throw it out. It was just very awkward. Went home full and felt that way for about 12 hours, ick."

  • "My husband and I have been coming here regularly for the last few years. We keep coming back, because of their consistency in service and quality of food!"
    Dined on 7/24/2014
  • "Plenty of great food beginning with their fresh tortilla chips and salsa. Split the fajitas. It will be more than enough. Order the specialty drink of the day. You will enjoy it. Do not drive after you do. The enchiladas are excellent."
    Dined on 7/23/2014
  • "Great food and great service. The noise level is a bit high."
    Dined on 7/22/2014
  • "The meal was excellent - we had more than enough food and every course was fantastic. Our server gave some recommendations that were spot on. Loved the margarita that was part of the Queen's Feast menu."

  • "We love this place. Always quick service, competent wait staff. Good drinks. Great texmex. Love the brisket tacos. White cheese with chicken dip is really really great."
    Dined on 7/21/2014
  • "The food was amazing especially for restaurant week. You certainly won't leave there hungry! I just wish they spaced out the food. We got our appetizers and ten minutes later our meals were at the table. We hardly had touched anything yet. Still good food and will definitely come back again!"
    Dined on 7/21/2014
  • "We visited Paco's Tacos and Tequila for restaurant week. To say the least it was a lot of food. 3 courses plus a yummy margarita! It was really loud but it was also a Sunday evening during restaurant week. All of the food was delicious and it was nice to try a new Mexican spot."
    Dined on 7/20/2014
  • "Love their salsa. Pacos tacos are the best. Treat yourself to a tequila flight. They have large and unique selections. Our server was amazing and helped us customize a flight for a great price. We have eaten here many times and think it is a good value."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "We went to Paco's Tacos during Charlotte Restaurant week and opted for the $30 menu. Most restaurants offer 3 courses for the $30. At Paco's we got a margarita, queso dip; salad or guacamole, or app; and a main course (I had three original Paco's Tacos with shredded steak), plus dessert. Everything was delicious and the service by Craig was great."
    Dined on 7/19/2014
  • "My wife and I love your restaurant. The food is outstanding, it is always delicious. The only issue we have is the noise. It is so loud. I think you want some noise, but the level of noise is a bit much, just too many hard surfaces. Every time we visit at night we remind ourselves to try and visit at lunch time so the noise will be less."
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "These chicken and spinach enchiladas are fabulous and there is always enough for my lunch the next day after enjoying the chips with white queso and guacamole. Also try the shrimp tacos. If you are visiting Paco's for the first time, I highly recommend their sampler where you can try a few different items - each more delicious than the next! Definitely my new favorite place for Mexican food although I'm not crazy about their drinks..."
    Dined on 7/18/2014
  • "Our favorite casual dining place! We always have a positive experience there with the food and service."
    Dined on 7/12/2014
  • "While not the most healthy alternative for dinning, Paco's consistently delivers good TexMex fare with a creative flair."
    Dined on 7/11/2014
  • "Paco's is one of my favorite restaurants here in Charlotte. It always has great food, atmosphere, service. Paco's taco (beef brisket) is the best!"
    Dined on 7/11/2014
  • "Shrimp tacos were great. Service was wonderful. A wait staff was training a new person and they both did a super job. Both had great personalities."
    Dined on 7/10/2014
  • "This continues to be the best Tex-Mex in Charlotte. From the enchiladas to the fajitas along with the margaritas you will find none better until you're back in San Antonio!"

  • "Good food! Great service would recomenend for lunch, dinner, gathering for special occaisions,"
    Dined on 7/8/2014
  • "Food was not as good as I expected it to be. It was our first time there, we will give it another try and hope we have a better experience next time. Inside the restaurant was very loud, but sitting in the patio was much more enjoyable."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "Made a reservation for 9pm, and got there early. Sat at the bar for 15 min without any service."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "Our family loves Paco's Tacos!! Open Table helps a great deal in getting a table since it is crowded most nights. We love their wide assortment of tacos, but this time my husband tried their chimichanga. It was huge, great tasting and very filling. I tried their taco salad and it was really, really good. We have yet to find anything on their menu that we haven't enjoyed. Their margaritas are awesome, too."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "Finally, a place in Charlotte with great Tex-Mex food. Felt like I was back in San Antonio."
    Dined on 6/25/2014
  • "On our most recent visit for Sunday brunch, the service was incredibly slow, the area in which we were sitting was incredibly hot. I was willing to provide some concessions, as one of the two waitstaff was training that afternoon, but it seemed to almost be competitive among the two staff. Regardless, the meal we had was with friends, we were not in a rush, and the food was delicious. Certainly not enough to deter me from going back, but enough to make me write a review about my inconsistent experience."
    Dined on 6/22/2014
  • "Out waitress, Danielle, was excellent. She was very friendly and knew the entire menu and her recommendations were perfect."
    Dined on 6/15/2014
  • "My wife and I took our 1-year-old daughter for her birthday dinner at Paco's and she LOVED IT! I cannot recommend Paco's Tacos enough. We always have great, attentive service, and we never have to wait when we make our reservations with OpenTable. The food is delicious, and I always try a new taco every time I'm there. The guac is second to none, and the salsa among the best I've had. I know the salsa is a little thing, and it's free with your meal, but it's the little things that make a Tex-Mex restaurant experience good, and they nailed it. I would always recommend Paco's to our friends, and we often take them there for dinner when they visit."

  • "Food, drinks, and wait staff were all excellent. Just wish it was a little less expensive."
    Dined on 6/10/2014
  • "My wife and I have been to Mexico +/- 50 times and visit different cities each year. This was our first time at Paco Taco. We had the brisket tacos and while not necessarily authentic, they were outstanding in flavor, quantity and presentation. The meat was actually shredded rather than ground (yuk). Mexican chefs NEVER serve GROUND meat. The rice dish while tasty, was cool by the time it arrived. The charro beans were very good. The tequila list was exceptional. In a place like that, we often drink the best tequilas instead of wine with dinner. John was our server. We would not have guessed he was new on the job had he not told us. He did well. Lots of families with children there. We'll go again."
    Dined on 6/7/2014
  • "Paco's is always a favorite place for good Tex-Mex and margaritas. Prices are moderate and the food is very good. Try the Paco's Taco (beef brisket). Also a great deal during Charlotte Restaurant Week - so much food!"
    Dined on 6/5/2014
  • "My wife and I always enjoy eating at Paco's Tacos & Tequila. The service and food is always outstanding. "

  • "This was our first time at Paco's and it was better than most of the reviews. Chris, our server was great, he gave us great recommendations and was right on time with everything. We will be back soon."
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "Food here is pretty amazing! Highly recommend the Dennis Enchiladas & Volcano Dip. The only downside to the restaurant is you feel like you're right on top of one another, constantly having to move for servers or having someone else back their chair into you. Which makes for an unpleasant overall experience especially when your paying good money for your meal. "
    Dined on 5/23/2014
  • "This was our second trip to Paco's and the food and drink were every bit as good as the first time. However, we were with another couple and found that we had to shout to be heard. That was stressful! So, next time I'll go alone, get take out, or go at lunch."
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "Pacos is one of my favorite restaurants, but I had a bad experience this time. I ordered two soft tacos - the Pacos Taco and the Chicken Milanesa. They are usually spectacular. Both weren't good this time. I usually order the Chicken Milanesa without the cream sauce. I tried it for the first time as it's listed on the menu, which was a mistake. The crispiness of the chicken is ruined by the creamy sauce and the sauce overwhelms the taco. Order it without the cream sauce and it's spectacular. Restaurant left off the pickled onions by mistake and had to bring me a side order of it. The Paco's Taco, usually fantastic, was very salty. Someone made a mistake in the kitchen. I could barely eat it. I will wait a while before returning. "
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "We enjoyed our food. Definitely not a romantic date spot but great for families or groups. Food was very fresh and tasty."
