Paco's Tacos — Restaurant in Lake Township

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...

It was what's 35° outside? And for some reason, they had the air conditioner on inside and was much colder inside. I couldn't take my jacket off, especially because of all the metal everywhere.. you have to sit down in booths and eat your food like. It's a bar even though a bar would be more welcoming.. nobody welcomes you.They just tell you, "what do you want?".. definitely, not anywhere.You would take a date or your family to eat.. service is not existent because you have to put your order in the front. Then they yell your name a couple times until you pick up your food you eat. They tell you certain rules are heav em ridden down on the walls to throw your food out if you're not finished, put the sauces back and that's it.. they still ask for a tip even though nobody brings you water. Nobody brings you anything. You have no conversation or interaction, nothing.. they said they get me carne asada which means it's grilled somehow has some sear.. but they gave me boiled steak. Texture was not that good. At least the flavor was somewhat good. I still ate the food because I was hungry. But for the price, it wasn't not worth it.. other places actually give you carne asada and overall...

For years we’ve put up with the rude and condescending customer service here. For years we let it happen for the sake of 1. Helping our local Hispanic businesses and 2. The food is generally great. Today, we called it quits. Today we say good bye to Pacos Tacos, once and for all.

1lb of bad carnitas. -cartilage -fat We call you to let you know and ask you to make it right. You ask us to return it so you can VERIFY. We make the trip. Only for you to INSIST that it was my fault.

Customers aren’t allowed to pick and choose the meat at the moment due to the PANDEMIC, so how exactly is this my fault again? BAFFLING.

We are your CUSTOMERS. We keep your business going. We don’t have to spend our money at your establishment. We don’t have to put up with your TERRIBLE BUSINESS PLAN.

Your food was GREAT. This particular time it was AWFUL. YOU CHOSE NOT OWN THAT AND MAKE IT RIGHT? $8. Was it really worth it? Never...
