I can't remember the last time I've handed out a 5 Star review…read more But I havnt really got a bad word to say. The food and Drink were excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant. Nothing went wrong. It was a beuitiful place for pre Drinks before a night out. It was even good enough that I would consider it for a birthday. I loved dipping my quesadillas into the sour cream and my margarita felt full on and helped me relax. 5 stars for Pacos Tacos and they deserved it, thank you for starting my night out so well. I'll be coming back sometime.

Although the service here was brilliant and our table was looked after very well, I must say I was…read moredisappointed with the taste of the food. Although coriander is a key component in many Mexican dishes, my main meal tasted of nothing more. I ordered a Concane taco to begin, and it's size was okay for the price however it tasted very bland; the meat seemed to lack any good seasoning. For my mains, I ordered the 'Pacos Nachos' - and wasn't impressed. It tasted of nothing more than coriander and the Fetta Cheese, although creamy, was tasteless. There is no doubt that all the ingredients were very fresh, but this doesn't overwrite the fact that the flavours just weren't there. The meals were incredibly quick to come out of the kitchen but this is not a suprise considering that most of the dishes didn't require on the spot cooking but rather a simple 'stack and go' line in the kitchen. Which is useful If you are on the run and need a quick bite. As for the atmosphere, I felt like I was sitting in a children's playground. The colours just did not work for me, and although bright colours open up the space, the use of yellow and pink just made the restaurant feel childish. Overall, I think that, with some focus on getting flavour ratios right, the meals here could be very enjoyable. I can live with the decor.

Our first time here was a great experience. The host really was hospitable. The food was delicious…read moreand plenty of it. We'll be back for sure!

We stumbled upon Pj's Mexican Kitchen by accident as we were starving before heading out to…read moreEastland for a movie. Pj's is located off to the left of Maroondah Highway before you hit Eastlink and there is some parking out the front of the restaurant. With both indoor and outdoor seating available, Pj's was packed Saturday night but we managed to snag a table at the back. The servers seemed a little flustered as there were quite a few larger parties ordering and we were repeatedly asked if we would like to order when we already had but hey I'd rather be asked than left there hungry. A complimentary teeny tiny bowl of corn chips kicked off our night and we ordered a strawberry milkshake and a glass of sangria to quench our thirst during the wait for food. Fish taco- squeeze the lemon onto the crispy fish and we have a winner. Beef taco-best taco out of the 3 as it was juicy and the beef was very tender. Chicken taco- a bit dry but I drenched it with chilli sauce yum! Combination special enchilada -Spinach and potato mixed Ice cream nacho - dusted with cinnamon sugar, the vanilla ice-cream was drizzled with honey and matched with a side of tia maria. This wasn't quite what I expected, it was more bland as I imagined that the "nachos" would be more like cinnamon toast crunch pieces. We did finish the whole thing but it got a bit too sweet towards the end. I'm glad we made an emergency food stop and stopped here as I enjoyed it. I like how you can choose a soft tortilla or hard taco shell and although not exactly like the street tacos in Mexico, this was much better than some of the taco's i've had in Australia that are drenched in sour cream and overdone.
