Paco's Tacos — Restaurant in Page

Who doesn't love a great burrito? Or favorites are the bacon breakfast burrito, the carne asada burrito, the chicken burrito, and the California burrito. Their chicken fajitas are also delicious!

When I'm going keto, my favorite thing is their chicken burrito with no tortilla. If I'm eating alone, I order it without, and if I'm eating with my other half, I order it on the side or just dump everything into a bowl and give it to him because the tortillas alone are delicious! Squeeze some lime and cilantro on there and oh baby!!

The burritos are about the size of a lady's forearm and average around $7 each plus tax. Many people make two meals out of them.

One of my friends has his jaw wired shut and was hardcore craving a burrito. He begged his friends to have one and describe it in detail for him... This is what I left him, after having gone here:

"Sometimes waiting is the best part; the anticipation. Watching it being prepared back in the kitchen of the hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint... It’s a little thrill to see the split-second flash of flame that erupts from the grill’s surface when they drizzle the oil onto it. You hear the sizzling of the meat and vegetables as they hit the grill. The smells of the cooking meat, onions, peppers and potatoes do an invisible dance with the sweet and homey smell of the tortilla being heated next to it. A few tosses with the spatula and your eagerness rises. It’s almost ready!

Ah, the assembly! Like watching an artist crafting something beautiful, you watch as he expertly slides the sizzling concoction of deliciousness from his spatula onto the warm tortilla. Grabbing an extra-generous handful of grated cheese, he places it atop the smoldering toppings. There’s no sprinkling of cheese here. Sprinkling is not nearly manly enough for this burrito. Drizzle some salsa over the whole deal and swiftly, efficiently, before your eyes it goes from a pile of food to a perfectly rolled creation. You laugh to yourself as he wraps it; why bother wrapping it? That merely interrupts the process of getting this perfectly delicious burrito in your mouth!

But now it’s in your hands! Hot, heavy, steaming with aromas you’ve gotten a sneak peek at over the past few agonizing moments… The tortilla has some crispy, light brown spots, the skin on the outside cracking and splitting some from the contents within.

That first bite…

You tear into it with ravenous anticipation. The tortilla crunches beneath your teeth and instantly gives way to its inner, softer layer, and you feel the juicy heat of the seasoned meat, the soft potato and grilled onions and peppers pop every so slightly under their enamel attackers. The salsa is still a bit cool from being refrigerated before its addition to your meal, and provides a delightful juxtaposition to the heat. Cheese stretches playfully from the burrito to your mouth, and invariably ends up dangling from your chin.

That glorious first bite flirts with your mouth and your taste buds are overcome with flavors. You can’t help but moan a little, closing your eyes and breathing in the steamy aromas as you chew… slowly, deliberately, allowing each morsel to play on your tastebuds. When you swallow, you feel the heat warming its way down your throat to your stomach… what a delightful and satisfying feeling. And just think, this is only the first bite… what taste adventures await you in the second?"

Eat here and thank...

How many of you have placed an order at a fastfood place and taken your food order home? You go inside and start to pass out what they had put into you bag and find they missed an item and forgot to put it in your bag or find an item you never ordered! Now what do you do besides being so frustrated you want to swear! Do you tell yourself, I'm not going back to get the dollar item they forgot or do you jump back in your car and head back to the fastfood place and have them make it right? Taking up your time to go back and forth, having to wait another 20 minutes to eat, argue that they forgot the item. Most establishments would just apologize and correct their mistake and give you their apologies. Well, here I did go back and I handed the person in charge my receipt and telling him what they forgot. He talks to lady at the window and he comes back telling me it's in the box. I telling him, no it wasn't in the box. He then talks to the lady again, he tells me that it was in the bag. I tell him no it wasn't in the bag either. He acted as though I had to be lying. That I only came back to get another FREE tortilla! I wanted to jump out of my truck but there was a short line of cars behind me and I wasn't going to argue over such a miniual item, yes a darn tortilla. I just went on through there drive through and thinking they just lost a 5 to 7 hundred dollar per year customer! They made no attempt to make it right. So they score a big "0" for there customer service! I forgot to mention how dry their beef chimmy was..like eating beef jerky in a tortilla. And my rice was not separated in its own cube but had been placed right on top...

Pacos Tacos by far was the worst so called Mexican restaurant. Buyer beware, unless you want a colon cleanse do not I repeat don not eat here. I believe my 13-year old daughter can cook a whole lot better than these jokers. Full discloser, I am a Mexican and this place was “turrible” as Charles Barkly would say. We were trying to eat at El Tapatio due to the great reviews but I accidently pulled into the wrong parking lot. The empty parking lot should have been the first indicator this place was horrible. The second indicator was seeing the aguas frescas or fresh flavored water coming from a dispenser. Last, indicator was the overpriced menu.

Onto the actual experience, I tried to play it safe by ordering a chicken torta but the chicken was dry and tasted like it was several weeks old. It also came with shredded cheese which made it taste even worse. After consuming half of it my stomach began to turn. My buddy ordered tacos with rice and beans while my other buddy ordered tamales. We all came to the consensus that the food had no taste what so ever. The end result was that we all ended with some form stomach ache. Again, please keep away from this place or else face the reality of some form of stomach discomfort or something else . I will never eat at this place ever again. I will give this place a star since i have to give it one to be...
