Tacos Don Paco — Restaurant in Oceanside

Oceanside now has a new option for tacos and other Mexican dishes. Introducing Tacos Don Paco.

Tacos Don Paco, is branching out from their location in Vista and bringing all of their famous salsas & recipes with them. They are located in a very strategic location that is on Rancho del Oro, just north of Oceanside Blvd, & inside a shopping center that will also be feeding those who will be attending events at the FRONTWAVE ARENA nearby.

Tacos Don Paco is known for many great dishes & they're also known as the Home of the Salsas. They have a pretty solid selection on their menu, which ranges from : soft-shell tacos, hard-shell tacos, rolled-tacos, burritos, gorditas, sopes, quesadillas, nachos, tortas, mulitas, tostadas, fries & even menudo.

They also carry a wide variety of meats: adobada, carne asada, Al pastor, lengua , cabeza, carnitas, tripas, birria, chorizo, chicken, shrimp, machaca & even fish.

Because they are known for their salsas, there's a lot to choose from, with varying degrees of heat, intensity, & flavor. I shared a video of them in this review.

Their interior is extremely basic, with not much decor or ambiance, but it is spacious and great for family seating. Their bathroom was clean & simple too.

The one downfall that I can see to this place is their parking situation. Although they have a few spaces directly in front, and there are parking spaces in the main center lot; If it ever gets really busy here, I can tell it will be difficult to find a spot, and it will be a tight fit.

But since the interior ambience doesn't lend towards dining-in to eat; I'm thinking this may not be an issue if many customers simply get their orders TO-GO.

The customer service was friendly, and only had one lady behind the cashier.

All in all, I think that Tacos Don Paco is a very solid contribution to Oceanside's inland dining scene. Although many may find their prices higher than other taco spots, this is to be expected with their location, and they also have Taco Tuesday Special Price...

This little place in the cut is awesome! Sooo much better than some of the other taco spots, and the salsa bar was off the hook! They had so many different ones it's no wonder they say they're "home of the salsas" from mild to super hottt all of them were the perfect topping to what you're eating. My husband loves BRC and they did not disappoint, soft tortillas and delicious beans are very flavorful! I had the carnitas sope, which are made in house and are FIRE 🔥 they are much bigger than ones I had at other spots and there were BIG chunks of meat everywhere! The staff was super nice and accommodating, come on in and have some homemade food and an ice cold beer! You will come back...

Tacos Don Paco is a new taco shop in Oceanside. The interior is very modern and clean. They were playing 90s/2K pop music on the sound system. I ate my California Burrito to the sound of Smash Mouth. The carne asada had a nice grilled taste. They use string french fries that were cooked crispy like I like it.

I ordered a side of chips that were freshly cooked and piping hot but not oily. In other words, perfect. I give their California burrito five stars.

I'm a gringo and like scooping my chips with refried beans. Theirs is very good.

Prices were very decent and the portions very filling. I'm sure I will be...
