We had the tinga and carnitas tacos. The carnitas were unlike any we ever had before. We are used to the ones in NYC I guess with pineapples and chopped pork. Their version is delicious and different with slow cooked pulled pork however it was WAY TOO salty. The tinga were perfect. Guacamole was decent but could have used less salsa on top and more avocado -- also I prefer the guacamole served on the side instead of all over the chips like nachos. The chips were definitely home made and so good! read more

El Pachucho and waiter/barman Andreas, I'm in LOVE. I've been working on a cruise ship for 2 months, and jonesing for a proper taco. The carnitas tacos were amazing, the guacamole heavenly and the chelado all together made this Texas girl feel at home! Will be returning weekly when the ship docks in Barcelona. Any So-Cal/New Mex/Tex-mex fans can get a little taste of home here! read more

The food is amazing and the michelada with mezcal is delicious! Loved the tacos that have chicharron sprinkled on top. Loved that they had mezcal. read more

One of the best experiences during my trip in Spain. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is joyful, the service is remarkable (introduced the menu in details and we people around the counter were treated a small cup of fruit smoothie), and most importantly the price is 100% reasonable! You gotta try it for sure don't miss it! read more

First off our server was very nice. She didn't make us feel like we were stupid Americans (which we are) the food was great. We got almost one of everything. Potato's were the best. But everything is great. Definitely a great place to hang out and eat. read more

Best tacos in Barcelona. Make a reservation if you think about it or likely you'll be waiting in line. Try the guacamole too.. fantastic

Good food, great drinks!! If you love Mexican food and have been on the search for it in Barcelona, go to Pachuco. Their sopes are great and their liter margaritas are better :) the entire staff is great and friendly. The only downside is the place is small so it only seats a limited amount of people making the waiting time a little long (i have waited up until and an hour and a half) its okay we went to a bar near there and had a beer! 10/10 recommend read more

El Pachuco - Sopes!! - Mexican Near Me - Barcelona, B

great little dive bar atmosphere with awesome Mexican food. Staff was very warm and welcoming. You write your order on an order form and hand it to the bar. They call your name when its ready. Antojitos, quesadillas and tacos were off the hook! read more

Being a native Californian, I have always been exposed to awesome, authentic Mexican cuisine. Iv'e been living in Barcelona for some time, and when people ask me what I miss most about home it's Mexican food, In-n-Out, and my family...in that order. Until I discovered El Pachuco. I was originally drawn to the large crowd inside on a weeknight, and then when I realized it was a mezcaleria I had to stop in! Awesome service, fun staff, and all around great experience. Soy una nativa californiana, y siempre he estado expuesto a increíble, auténtica cocina mexicana. Viví en Barcelona durante algún tiempo, y cuando la gente me preguntan qué es lo que más extraño de california es comida mexicana, un hamburguesa de In-n-Out, y mi familia ... en ese orden. Hasta que descubrí El Pachuco. Originalmente me atrajo a mucho gente dentro de una noche de la semana, y cuando me di cuenta de que era un mezcaleria tuve que tomar algo! Servicio impresionante, divertido, y todo una gran experiencia. read more

the short story: a rock n roll tacqueria down in El Raval - featuring a full bar, heavy on the tequilas, and a few mexi dishes like quesadillas & tacos. the details: I only wanted one taco. yes, I know that tacos al carbon are small. yes, I only want one. the taco plate comes with 4 tacos for about 5 euros (4,50?) is there any way I can just order one taco? I already ate - but I want to try one. fine. I'll just have a tequila. lots of tequila... but where's the Sauza Hornitos? ugh... they have regular Sauza... fine - i'll just have the Herradura - silver. 3,50. done. smells like pee in there. the music was fun. why can't i just order one taco a la carte? meanies. but you know, i'm getting desperate for my mexi-fix. so far every "Mexican" joint in BCN has been a "mexi-can't" 3 stars for the effort. i'll amend the review once i actually have the food. (just a qualifying note: if this was in LA, it would barely get 1 star from me... but my star rating is based on a Barcelona curve...) read more

Absolutely incredible. Trust me, get the nachos!!! Like sinfully good. Huge portion. For two people maybe get those and some tacos to share. Micheadas on point. We had nachos, five tacos, two micheladas, and sparkiling water. Our bill was ~30$. Very affordable for the quality and the amount of food. Trust me - check this place out! I wish it was close to home. read more

Great place with a line to prove it. Get there a few minutes before opening (1:30) and try to sit at the bar. Pachuco has friendly staff, great atmosphere and some of the best street tacos and drinks anywhere. Try the guacamole, street tacos (pork) and a michelada. It's a small restaurant (4 tables) with a big punch! You'll love it. read more

yes yumm this place is amazing. I had a craving for Mexican food and this place hit the spot!

Unquestionably one of the best meals I've had in Spain! Great authentic Mexican food. Fast service. Very friendly staff. Great drinks. Very affordable. Highest recommendation! read more

After being in Spain for a week, we needed something besides tapas or bocadillos. We needed a taste of HOME--and for us, home is Texas. We were skeptical to try Mexican food in Barcelona, but wow, El Pachuco is good! The margaritas were made with good tequila, Grand Marnier, and fresh lime juice--a simple recipe that most places in the United States take for granted. The guacamole and salsa was oh so fresh and tasty--and on the house from Fernando--such a nice touch. The Nahos Pechuco were simply delicious. We could have stopped there but curiosity won out and we had the carnitas tacos. Again, fresh and delicious. Well done El Pechuco! read more

This is a must visit place if you are in the mood for some of the best Mexican food you've had in your life!!! This restaurant is most definitely better than any Mexican food I've had in the states. I don't think I'll even be able to properly express how good the food is but here's to trying. If you're coming here for a romantic, relaxed dinner or with a big group of people - go elsewhere. There are 2 tables and some stool seating/bar seating, in other words very small. And yet they try to fit in as many people as they can and do not take reservations ahead of time. We waited almost 2 hours for a small corner of a table right next to the door. For some reason, this just added to the charm of the place. To order, they have a bunch of paper menus and pencils placed in a bucket on the table and you have to check off the items you want and walk over to the bar area to hand in your menu. We ordered nachos and tacos, we wanted to order the quesadillas just to try everything out and the bartender told us it would be too much food, we got them any way just to try and boy was he right! For two people, you definitely have your fill with just the nachos and tacos. We ended up taking the quesadillas to go. They also give you a bunch of hot sauces upon request. Like I've mentioned above, the food is just beyond delicious. I had the chicken tacos, the chicken was cooked to perfection - so flavorful and juicy. And the nachos were abundantly topped with cheese, beans, and every other topping - not dry at all. There's a reason why this place has great reviews!! Welll worth the wait! read more

Very yummy tacos. We had the carnitas and the papas y chorizo. The restaurant itself has a cool vibe, and the owner has a vibe to match. It's easy to order -- just mark how many tacos you want on the paper menu! As you can tell by the other English reviews here, it's pretty friendly to people who might not speak Spanish. read more

This place is outstanding. The nachos here are the best nachos I have ever had in my life. The chips are made right there in the restaurant and loaded with chicken tinga, cheese, guacamole, black beans, jalapeños, tomatoes and MORE CHEESE. Seriously I bring every friend who comes to visit me to this restaurant. The staff is very friendly, speak both english and Spanish, and occasionally will offer you free tequila shots. Very laid back, enjoyable atmosphere. read more

- the badass staff - the nachos... Every single time - he tamarindó margarita This place has the most phenomenal food, I want to keep it a secret but I have to share my love for it. I'm no longer in Barcelona and I dream of it... So fucking good!!! read more

My friends and I picked this place as a late night meal on our trip to Barcelona in early November and ordered quesadillas and the Paloma drink. The restaurant definitely seemed like a locals haven- bartenders and waiters seemed to know almost everyone who came in. This gave the place a really familial vibe which I really loved. The space is pretty small so I would not recommend for big groups but if there's just two or three of you and you're looking for dinner in the area definitely check this place out! Last comments - the staff was absolutely phenomenal and one of the bartenders came and chatted with us for a bit just for fun ! They don't take cards here so make sure you've got some cash and a hungry stomach ! read more

The best food and friendly service in this part of town. Amazing nachos! The portion sizes are big so order accordingly. Also, save room for a shot of tequila if you are sitting at the bar - a frequent gift for happy patrons. read more

Soooooo good! It is a little bit small but amazing and the customer service is amazing too. The first time I ordered a margarita and their classic nachos. The nachos are very big and soooo delicious. They took a tiny bit long for my nachos and ended up giving me my drink for free and a free shot! Everyone there is so helpful and friendly. I came back multiple times and ordered the guacamole which is amazing and their tostadas. This place is legit! read more

Good food but not worth the hour and a half wait in my opinion. They sat large parties before all of the small parties regardless of when people came which I neither understood nor appreciated. read more

From a Mexican food lover, I must say that the food here is DELICIOUS! Definitely get the Nachos Pachucos and any kind of tacos. It will leave you thinking about it for days. A place you must visit when in Barcelona! read more

It's extremely difficult to find Mexican food in Europe. I'm from Chicago where there are sometimes 3 Mexican restaurants per block. Imagine my elation when I found good tequila, tender pork tacos and fresh guacamole! It's now my go to place when in Barcelona. My French boyfriend tried real Mexican food for the first time here and made me promise to return AT LEAST once more before heading home. It's that good. read more

The dude of food wandered in here and was glad he was traveling alone as the place was intimate but inviting. The short story is the staff is cool, the beers are cold and flowing, the food is good and the prices are reasonable. It is a great place to wander into before or after viewing art at the BCN Painters Route art gallery in Barcelona. read more

Tiny place with a lot of character. Try getting there before 10pm so you don't wait much to get inside. Portions are pretty big. My favorite was classic quesadilla, ton of cheese, so good. Their frozen margarita is a must, too. Amazing food, service, and ambiance at low cost. read more

If you like a little local, hole in the wall eatery as I do, then this is a great spot. Great drinks with truly generous portions of liquor. Tacos were very good but the quesadillas and nachos were awesome. My one complaint is there were no beef tacos on the menu. read more

Food poisoning - beware! We were all so excited to eat here on our last night in Barcelona. Unfortunately, everyone that ate the chicken had horrible food poisoning all night and the next day. It was doubly horrible because we all had to get on a plane the next morning. Not what you want after spending over 100 euros on food for our group of 7. Food was tasty, but I can't recommend. read more

Love love love, bad thing is that is a small place and they have just two tables and booths. But it's worth the wait and bring cash because they don't take credit cards read more

This place is awesome. I don't know if we were just starving from walking around being tourists all day or what but this was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Tacos were good, but the tostadas and the chips & guacamole were excellent. It's a casual & fun bar environment. It's also tiny so push your way in and find a seat. Yes we ate here twice and yes I'd go tomorrow if I was still in Barcelona. read more

Awesome food and environment! Will definitely repeat before our trip ends. The guacamole is off the chain along with the tacos! Best hole in the wall in Barcelona. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident the first night in Barcelona and was I surprised. Felt like we were back home eating authentic Mexican food. We returned 10 days later after a cruise and were not disappointed. Stop by this place if you're looking for authentic Mexican food! read more
