    The cashier welcomed us with a big, bright smile on his cheerful face. What a cutiepie (in a motherly way) lol. Great first impression. I had a cod fish taco and one beef. My husband had 3 carnitas tacos. Loved the fresh toppings on the fish taco. They were tasty, filling, and not too crazy expensive like some places are getting. Most of the tables were sprinkled with parmesan cheese crumbs left behind. It's an older building with huge uneven plastered spots on their walls. But it didn't ruin our experience. It was quick and satisfying, and we weren't expecting fine dining, of course.

    I ordered a number two and so did my friend and it was so delicious. The taco shell is not the usual because it is authentic taco shells. It came with a drink and a burrito. The service was pretty fast and very helpful. The tables were clean but not the cleanest dining area but it was okay and that is why I am giving four stars. They do have a drive-thru. And I will go back someday.

    12 tacos, six sans lettuce. Yummy!

    Again, our annual taco stop this time coming back from Tahoe. Very good tacos. The young woman who took our order was very nice and made us feel welcome. Very clean restaurant and bathrooms. For those of you who complain about being too expensive maybe you should go elsewhere. Any place you go to now is higher. Even the grocery stores. Sad but true.

    The Jimboys in Cameron Park is better so if your driving up from the west go there instead. Lol I do like this place though, they often are not open when they say they should be hence the 4 star's. The tacos are good they put Parmigan cheese on the outside of the shell.

    Beef tacos

    Best tacos!! We have always loved Jimboys tacos. Any easy stop coming home from Tahoe. Tacos are fresh and delicious! Service was great! Thank you!!!

    It's fast food, greasy, and fried. It didn't make us sick. We definitely have much better alternatives in Placerville, much healthier too.

The food was yummy. Our waiter was terrific. I ordered Rojas chicken posole. It was served in a big ole bowl that was bigger than my Charlie Brown head. The broth had a good flavor. The shredded cabbage was served already mixed in the posole. The posole was topped with chopped onions, dry oregano, and chopped cilantro with lime wedges served on the side. I'm used to everything served on the side including the cabbage. I like to control the quantity of toppings. A bit of a control freak. Next time I'll ask for the items on the side. The posole had a lot of shredded cabbage and hominy. Each spoonful had a textured crunch from the cabbage. Slurping and chomping my posole. The hominy was soft and tender without being mushy. The complimentary chips n salsa were divinely delicious. Salsa was packed with flavor, nice thickness. No watery soupy salsa here. The chips were crisp and light. This Paco's is a sit down casual restaurant while the one in Pollock Pines is counter service. Both have a fun luchador theme that's understated without being outrageous. This location has a bar in the dining room shared space. The atmosphere can get rambunctious. Not rowdy but rambunctiously loud.

Since there aren't that many late night options, I decided to try their other location. It was easy to place an order online. Do note, if you would like to go inside and use the restroom, that is not an option. Only the drive thru was open. The food was fine and they gave us a bunch of salsas like I had asked. I noted I really wanted the spicy ones. I did tip $5 with my online order, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. Unfortunately when we got to Tahoe, we realized one of my street tacos was missing. I thought about calling to let them know, but it wasn't like I was in the area to do anything about so I didn't. The food is good for late night mexican. I'd rate it a 3 overall, maybe even 3.5. But I wish their online ordering had a way to tell them we were missing food. I may have tried to resolve it if so. Given the missing food, going down to a 2. REVIEW #3932

Friendly, attentive, accommodating, and just great all around. And let me say this clearly: if you want the best skinny margaritas in town, this is where you go. The balance of tequila, agave, and just a touch of lime was absolute perfection. Impeccable. I had the chicken with the spicy mole sauce, and it was delicious. The mole had a rich flavor with just the right amount of kick. My husband ordered the carne asada house burrito and really liked that it didn't come loaded with a bunch of extra stuff he doesn't want. It does come with sour cream and pico de gallo if that's your thing, but they were happy to put the pico on the side for me, which I added to my mole, and the sour cream could happily stay in the kitchen. We had several special requests, and everyone was incredibly accommodating. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Whether you want a full meal or just want to relax with a cocktail, some warm tortilla chips, house-made guacamole, and a little bean dip, Carolinas is a great spot for a satisfying afternoon or evening.

The host was very kind and offered to ask the manager if we could sit inside with the dog but the answer was an expected sorry, no. So far great service. When we came back we were seated right away at a comfortable booth. We ordered 3 street tacos. Two Al pastor and one carne asada. They brought out chips and salsa right away with waters. I ordered a top shelf margarita to share with my boyfriend. Good thing we shared because it was huge! It said it had a floater shot, but I couldn't see that and it didn't come on the side like it usually does. Makes me question if it was even in there? The tacos took about 30 minutes to come out which was a very long time for 3 tacos. BUT they were very good quality tacos. Seemed like the corn tortillas could've been made in house. The quality of the al pastor and the carne seemed very good. I really enjoyed the tacos. I'd say the wait will be longer because the quality is fresh. I would definitely come back again!

When I pointed it out, the waiter argued with me about what meat it was (wild) and then still charged me extra for the al pastor anyway. The upcharge was never removed. So I paid more for food I didn't order, got attitude for calling it out, and zero accountability. To top it off, the food made me physically sick afterward. That's the dealbreaker. Bad service, wrong order, pointless arguing, and food that left me regretting the whole experience. Not worth the money, not worth the time. Hard pass.
