    Our group was excited to try this restaurant before our show at Bass Hall. While the food was excellent, the service left a lot to be desired. Service was very slow (one person in our group didn't get her food until the rest of us were almost done and three people never got the drink they ordered). We asked to split the check and they proved challenging as well so we ended up paying on one card. We really wanted to like it because of the food, but we will not return due to service.

    The kitchen was out of almost everything we ordered: burritos (because they were out of large tortillas, pozole & flautas (because they are "pre-made" and had "run out." Had to ask for water several times. Tables sat dirty around us. The server was nice, but I rated the service one star because the restaurant seemed so poorly managed. We ended up with sopa de fideo, beef nachos, & the pescado veracruzana, allof which was pretty salty. Great location though.

    Great first visit. Food was really good. My bean, rice, cheese burrito was tasty, including the side of fries. Portions were big too.

    My wife and I had a lovely dinner at Paco’s. We wanted to find a place for dinner that was close to the Scat Jazz Lounge. Paco’s is literally across the street from Scat Jazz Lounge. If we were any closer we’d be already there. The service was very good. I particularly enjoyed the salsa. My wife and I shared an order of chicken fajitas. There was PLENTY for both of us. We also each had an excellent Patron margarita. It is right on Sundance Square so we could hear the live music from outside. Overall, excellent! We will return and we do recommend.

    I went to dinner here last night for my 25th birthday and it was such great service!! Our waitress was on top of everything and when we ordered I swear our food only took 5 minutes until it was brought to us which was awesome! I would recommend to anyone looking for a great Mexican restaurant in downtown Fort Worth!

    The food was great. We got the molcajete and the flavors were spot on. Wish their tortillas were handmade as that would elevate the experience. Also ordered the Hawaiian and Mora margaritas which were great! My only qualm was the poor service. Our waitress was not very attendant and we frequently had to seek her out for refills on water, to order more drinks, and to get more salsa on our table - it left a lot to be desired especially when they were not busy at all.

    We booked with OpenTable so we were seated immediately. It was myself, my husband and our two young children. The restaurant is kind of small, but the decor and ambience in general is really nice. We loved the food and the margarita I had was really good . The food was priced appropriately for what you get, portion wise and taste. We will definitely be back!

    We had never been to this restaurant before but had seen it when we were in Sundance Square. We usually go to Cheesecake Factory, but it’s usually so crowded, we wanted to try something else. It’s also close to the Bass Hall. The queso was ok, and had an unusual taste to it. An herb that was hard to identify for some reason. It was a little spicy even for a person that likes spice. The cheese enchiladas were different from what I’m usually served and the shrimp tacos were good but too spicy for us. This is an authentic, real deal Mexican restaurant. If you don’t like that kind of place go to another restaurant. We might go back in a pinch.

    The food was not only late in coming but one of us was given the wrong food. The waitress was not attentive. Price for the food we received was too high. The food did not taste very good in comparison to other Mexican Restaurants. We will never return and will warn our family and friends regarding our experience

    Made reservations but really not needed. Decided to be seated outdoors and the weather was great! Hostess was friendly and seated us immediately with chips and hot sauce. The hot sauce was extremely HOT! Ordered two drinks from menu. Not the greatest and pricey for what we got. Chose the queso and guacamole as appetizers. Very good. Had the Shrimp relleno and the trio fajitas. A lot of food and tasty. Flour tortillas were hard though. No real menu for dessert. Overall, an enjoyable meal but not much of variety. Parking is costly....
