Paco's Tacos — Restaurant in Madison

Heard about Taco Tuesday on Reddit and went for lunch. There was a buffet instead, and while I was concerned about COVID we gave it a go because there were only 3 other customers when we arrived at 12:10pm. The gentleman we paid up at the kitchen counter area was very friendly and polite!

My friends and I thought both the ground beef and steak had very little flavor, and they weren't hot. I thought the pork carnitas tasted very good but also seemed just 'warm'. My friend had one spoonful of soup and decided not to finish it as ahe felt it lacked flavor. She liked her tamale "okay".Shrimp, tongue and a couple of other hot proteins were also available. There was a nice variety of hard corn shells and chips (no soft flour). The crema, cilantro, tomatoes, lettuce and shredded cheese were very fresh and cold. In lieu of avocado slices or guac there was a nicely seasoned avocado hot sauce along with other sauces and salsas.

The location is probably not the best as it is a hidden gem behind a motorcycle dealership and next to a couple of other small businesses. It would be easy to miss, but so...

I was excited to check this place out because it is right next to my daughter's daycare and I had been wanting to try it for a while, but after today I will never be coming back. The server behind the counter was the opposite of helpful. He barely acknowledged my daughter and I when we walked in and even when we ordered. He just turned around and walked away and told us to have a seat. The food was fine--not bad, not great. Compared to Taqueria Guadalajara it is sub-par and A LOT more expensive. I paid over $30 for what would have cost me $20 at TGs. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being a total...
