WOW! I just read a lot of the reviews from others here. I totally get it when they wrote on customer service! The grouchy waiter who is at the front door register SUCKSsssss!!!!! The little short lady is super sweet (AKA Margarita lady as one of the reviewers called her LOL). As for the manager, he too is nice. The manager comes off distant-but if you chat with him-he is cool. As for the food, I get the salmon salad and it is sooooo good! Extremely flavorsome! I am HUGE on flavor! And I am not an older Caucasian as one of the reviewers mentioned that older Caucasians do not like seasoned food. I am black. Anyhow, I can confirm that the price is high-$18 something for an amazing perfectly crisp taco salad bowl with a tiny bed of cheese sprinkled on the bottom portion of the shell then lettuce over that (which is also not much). After the lettuce-a heaping amount of yummy flavored salmon perfectly moist! After the salmon, one sliced tomato and sometimes a lot of guacamole and sometimes a teeny bit . Finally a little cheese sprinkled on top of it all. It comes with a dollop of sour cream, but I do not have sour cream with mine. Never tried their drinks. I read how one customer mentioned getting denied drinks after they had only two! WOW! I totally can see this establishment shutting down after reading a lot of the reviews and after me seeing personally the register dude waiter. His personality is definitely not for dealing with customers. I say fire him. Hire positive energy in the place. GIVE MORE FOOD if prices are overly higher than other Mexican restaurants in the area. And give quality food. I love what I get-but a lot of reviews mentioned the food being terrible. Keep Margarita Lady. She has that energy I like. She always smiles. I had a great photo of my taco bowl but did not save it! Maybe I will post a photo next time I go read more

A typical local sit down Mexican restaurant. The interior is a bit worn but not unclean. Started with a mango frozen margarita. It was ok. It had a little coconut flavor to it which I'm not so fond of. The free chips and salsa were nice to get but vert average. Chips not warmed up and salsa was ok but no great E My main course was the shrimp changa. The shrimp were nice. The chimichanga was not fried long enough and was still mushy. The overall flavor was fine. Nothing special about it. read more

Paco's Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Changa - Mexican Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

Today I joined four friends at this Paco's restaurant. When I arrived, they were finishing their appetizers. I was not acknowledged by the owner or the female or the male waitress a waiters. I was not offered Water or a menu. It appears if you are a popular and a regular person here then you get special attention and, if you are not a regular person, they don't even acknowledge your presence. Customer Service is on a scale of 1-5 is a ONE because they do wait on the regulars and their special customers! The dishes are not taken away without you asking for them to be picked up. I remember going there about six months ago and ordered a salad. I was told it would take too long to make the salad. But they made it for a white lady, Cynthia because she's a regular that's her salad. I don't see how these people are still in business. I will not be returning to Paco's. Adios amigo. read more

What a truly strange experience. My friend and I ate here tonight for the first time. Food was just ok and surprisingly more expensive then similar restaurants in the area, but the pitcher of house margs was pretty great and we were already making plans to come back, until our server literally kicked us out at 9:58. He hovered by our table, glaring at us from the register for 30 minutes before that while we finished our meal, and then began pacing back and forth by our table before starting to BANG ON THINGS while looking at us. Then he walked over, told us they were now closed and we had to leave. I should add that the restaurant isn't listed as closed until 10pm. We had already paid and left a generous tip, and were so confused. We absolutely had planned on coming back and bringing friends for drinks, but now will definitely not be returning. It was incredibly rude and we were so uncomfortable with his behavior. read more

FYI the menu in the website is incorrect. The guy that owned the business before passed away and with him the credentials to the website. Weird and hilarious but they have a QR code you can scan to get the up to date menu with the correct prices. I like it here. It's mine and my husband's go-to spot for some basic Mexican. It's not a date spot. Just casual quick food. read more

My fav Mexican spot in Atlanta. The wings are fried hard like they suppose to be. Queso is very good. I always get the chicken quesadilla and it's always perfect. We've been here about 8-10 since moving to Mableton. Service is always great also read more

A group of 6 of us went in to eat the lunch buffet that they have and the male waiter got us our drinks and made 7 drinks. And we didn't think anything of it. But when we got done eating and he come by with our tickets he made a ticket and lay it down at an empty seat that he put the extra drink at. We all got up and left that ticket on the table and went too pay when we all did he started to say why did the last person leave without paying . And we told him there was only 6 of us not 7 he went on to and us leaving without paying telling us to never to come back and on and on. I told him there was only 6 and he took me back to the table where they 7 drinks and he said see there was 7 people. I told him to check his cameras and he wouldn't. He's not a very nice person and I won't be going back here which is a shame because it pretty good food.. if I could leave 0 stars I would. read more

very poor customer service I call at least twice a week to place a picked order. and the owner himself hung up on me 3 times as if he couldn't hear me and the last time he said " wtf do you want " before hanging up again on me. I walked over since I work two doors down to speak with them to see what was the problem I just wanted to place an order. and told him what happened he lied and said it wasn't him took no ownership. so I'll never spend another dollar there ever again and won't be refer anybody else there either. unfortunate but I'm big on customer service ! read more

Fast reliable and consistent, Paco's Mexican Restaurant is a staple in the Mableton community. I am partial to their chicken soup in the colder season in GA. While I am still in search of something to compare their soup to another vendors i can always rely on the consistency of the dishes I choose. Its also within minutes from my front door to theirs. If you are in the area and want some authentic flavour, stop in and give them a try. They also have a full bar with rare tequila selections. A few full screen TV's as well to help with your entertainment and informational needs. Whether you come solo or with a group, Paco's will accommodate your party! read more

Friendly place convenient and food. Staff always helpful and plenty parking. Go and enjoy!! read more

My favorite local Mexican restaurant. Love the food, drinks, and service here. Enchiladas and steak fajita taco salads are my go-to. Always and forever a guest. Thank you Poli for the best experience! read more

Just tried Paco's for the first time with DoodDash. Food was very fresh and delicious. We will definitely order from here again. Thank you team Paco! Enchiladas read more

Food has always been okay to good, but the last three times we have visited, there was no one up front to seat us. Waited ten minutes and left on all three occasions. Also, before that the service was awful and waited 20 minutes before someone came by to give us a check. Will not be going back as they are low on employees and do not care. read more

Not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but it's better than your average place. I ordered the Steak Polo. It was sautéed veggies and steak over rice and cheese poured in top. It came with 3 soft tortillas. It was all well seasoned and the steak was cooked to my liking. Not to mention the cheese poured on top- yum! Our server was nice and joked around with us. We went around 7 on a Sunday night and the place was pretty empty, which surprised me. They had bar seating or the other side of the restaurant was divided off and had booths and tables. There was even a buffet, but it was closed when we got there so this must only be an option certain times of the day or certain days of the week. I'll probably be back to try out the buffet soon! read more

if I wanted microwave food I could have stayed at home! Guacamole salad was just A tablespoon of guacamole on top of a whole bunch of lettuce. Very disappointing the only thing I can say nice is the lettuce was fresh. read more

Ew. No thanks. I was invited there by a friend on Superbowl Sunday. The food was Ok, kind of hard to F up a veggie quesadilla. After 2 drinks I was cut off. I was not loud, and even if I were there wasn't anyone in there, I was very polite to the server, I sat in my seat a bit amped up for the game but otherwise a normal customer at the one table that was in use. Yep; they cut me off at 2 drinks. On a game day. In the south. I like to stay positive so in all fairness the server was very nice, the food was fresh, and the dining area was very clean. Other than that, I won't even look at the building. Hard pass: NEXT! read more

This place is most likely geared to the older white taste buds in the area because it's very bland as far as Mexican food goes. Everything tasted a few steps away flavor wise from what I am used to. The enchilada sauce was super sweet and the meat was a dry in all the dishes we tried. I was disappointed. The staff is very friendly and I will give them another try when we decide to return to dining inside restaurants. I know takeout isn't always the best. read more

Paco's is always a great choice for quick, delicious Mexican cuisine. I really enjoy the salsa and Margaritas. Staff is efficient and friendly on most days. Definitely will be back read more

Paco's Mexican Restaurant - a dog walking in front of the restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

This was a terrible place. Expensive and food had no taste. My husband had enchiladas and struggled to get them down. I had taco salad that they forgot to add guacamole, and consisted of meat, lettuce an abundance of sour cream and 1 tomato. Had the waiter came and asked how everything was , we would have told him. Will not return. We will continue to go to the Mexican restaurant in Smyrna or Austell. read more

Order a Texas Fajitas Nacho's by phone after checking the price by website. Price said $12.99. Call employee takes the order and says 10 minutes. I get there give info on my order and empoyee says that will be $18.99 plus tax. I say your website said $12.99. He says don't believe the website prices go up everyday. I say yes but if I knew the price I would have ordered somthing different or just went somewhere cheaper but you took that option by not giving me the price even after I ordered knowing as you say price changes everyday. Nothing I can do he says. Then began lecturing me on economics. Food ok but not worth the price. read more

My husband and I took our visitors to Paco's last night for dinner, and I was totally UNDERwhelmed. I ordered Paco's Nachos with chicken, and my husband and one of our guests ordered Paco's Nachos with beef. What has happened to one of our favorite restaurants????? On my chicken nachos, there was less than 1/8 cup of chicken, which was placed on the side of a dish filled with lettuce, refried beans, and sour cream. My husband and one of our guests got about 2 Tablespoons of ground beef on the side of their lettuce, etc. We have eaten at this restaurant for years, but it has continued to go downhill. I was actually ashamed that we took visitors there. We were the only table occupied at 5:30 pm, so that should have told us something. Another two customers came in before we left, but that was it. The service was not the best. I guess one problem was that there was nobody on the staff who spoke English fluently enough to understand what we were asking for! I am very disappointed that we cannot depend on what use to be our go-to Mexican restaurant in the area. The prices continue to go up, and the quality of our food continues to go down. If things are not improved and brought up to what is expected, Paco's will be losing more customers than just us. With nobody there except us, the ambiance was negligible. read more

I've been in Mableton for years, and am now deeply ashamed for not trying Paco's earlier. In my defense, and in their favor, the 1-2 times BP (Before the Pandemic) that I tried, they were packed with customers, and I was starving. Thanks to my current commitment to order takeout from local joints, I've finally circled back around to Paco's and MAN! I really wish I'd had snacks in my purse to endure the 45 min wait times, before. The Pollo Loco and Queso Fundido are SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD!! I called my order in after grocery shopping, so putting away food took up my first 15 -20 min once I arrived home. By the time I finished, I was just ready for FOOD, so I wasn't really considering taste. Then ... I placed the 1st forkful of chicken / rice / sauteed onions & pepper in my mouth and "LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" An angelic musical emoji is really needed here. The layered flavors, the textures, the smoky, slightly peppery, cheesy, well seasoned aromas of that combination made me pause and remember to give Thanks! God is good and He has blessed Paco's cook with some seriously satisfying skills! A 4 to 5-star experience, but I'm going back soon, just to make sure this wasn't just my hunger talking. Stay tuned to find out if Paco tips this 4+ star review up to the next level on my next order. read more

This used to be one of my late husband and I faves. But I recently visited alone since his passing and the service was horrible. The food was not good usual! I definitely will not be returning here!!! read more

A family operated establishment with a great variety of food. Everything on the menu is great and I take my friends all the time. Positive staff with a relaxed environment. read more

Food is average. There are better Mexican restaurants in the area. One thing to note is that they charge an additional fee about $3-5 for all to-go orders. This is not mentioned anywhere on their menu. read more

It's been probably seven years since I last ate at Pacos, but my husband insisted we give Paco's another try since it had been so long. The first thing I noticed when we drove up was a lot of litter beside the restaurant. It was a off putting, but we went in anyway. As far as inside the restaurant, a lot has changed for the better since my last visit. The service and food were both pretty good. Our waitress was friendly and the overall service was fast. I ordered the steak tacos on corn tortillas, and my husband ordered some kind of steak dish with red sauce. The portion sizes were very generous, and the food tasted good. We ordered margaritas, too. The margs weren't the greatest tasting I've ever had, but they were strong lol. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, and am likely to come back. read more

Food and service were amazing! Fast, fresh, and unexpectedly delicious. A++ would recommend and will absolutely return!

The food I had was ok. I had the chicken burrito with green sauce but the sauce was really thick and I'm not use to that but I didn't get sick. The reason for two stars was do to a numerous of things. First we walked in and waited for 10 min for anyone to seat us. My wife order nachos and it had this weird drippy juice coming from under the nachos it was not appetizing at all. There was dried up salsa between the menu and the drinks (pink lemonade) needed the bag change. My kids food was mediocre. Will not return. read more

Great food, large portions and friendly staff at an affordable price. Tip- go in for the lunch buffet and you'll find a good variety of food that's on the menu as well. read more

Paco's Mexican Restaurant - Love the buffet. Very affordable. - Mexican Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

We ordered chicken nachos and a beef quesadilla yesterday during the storm. Eek! The guy on the phone was really friendly and laughed at my fake pronunciation of "rellenos". Not funny, guy. I was really trying. lol! He said that it would be ready in 10 minutes. That's quick. After picking it up, we dug in. No complaints at all. My nachos were crispy and freshly fried.. you could tell. There was lots of cheese, plenty of chicken, and peppers. I had a couple burnt nachos but it was no big deal. The quesadilla... ehhh, glad that wasn't mine. I was happy with what I ordered. We'd definitely come back to this place if we get the Mexican craving. Oh, our total was $19 and we got the bag of tortilla chips with spicy salsa on the side. read more

Paco's Mexican Restaurant - Chicken nachos ;) - Mexican Near Me - Mableton, Georgia

See all

my waiter was seated in the side room watching a soap opera and digging in his nose. Nope, don't need a togo box. His attitude was rushed as if he doesn't want to be there and he seems to either own the place or be family because regardless the complaints he doesn't alter him and becomes angry when questioned about the table manner. Other reviews that are negative describe him. Receipt says his names Jesus. Middle aged male. Lots of other places to get good Mexican food. this ain't it. Steak was fatty and had more gristle than meat. Just done here. read more

I don't know how this place is getting good reviews. Ordered a burrito that had watery substance in the bottom, also ordered the Texas fajita nachos that were soggy, cold, and watery. We took one bite of the nachos and threw it away. Food is very tasteless. Save your money and go to Taco Bell. read more

This is your typical americanized Mex restaurant. Love their soft tacos as does my daughter, and the people who work there are all amazing. Not necessarily authentic or the best but still good. read more

My partner and I decided to give Paco's a try but to our surprise it actually very awful! In regards the service. When we walked in the hostess was nowhere to be seen! We turn our heads to the bar and there she was? Drinking a margarita... she took about 3 minutes to realize that we were waiting to be seated. Once we got to our booth it was dirty, with crumbs on the table and chair! We literally had to tell the margarita lady to clean it. Our server was horrible! He's the reason for the -3 stars tbh! Horrible service from him, no initiative, careless and unprofessional! We got a burrito which actually was an enchilada lol and my partner got a greasy chicken quesadilla but flavors were there! Definitely not coming back! PS... I can vouch for the Hispanic community that this is not an Authentic Mexican Restaurant. read more

I was not impressed. I ordered via Uber Eats, tacos and taquitos. Both dishes were greasy.

The chips and salsa are awesome! The $14 burrito was excellent. I really enjoyed my meal!

Ordered our food at 6:45, still didn't have food by 8:00.... by the time we got the food my husbands nachos were so greasy he couldn't even get cheese to stick on a chip, my fajitas had half a skillet for chicken... the sauce wasn't mixed and not a single effort to fix any of it. The lady at the front just seemed annoyed we were leaving without paying despite not eating a single bit. Probably won't return due to seriously poor service and customer service. read more

Never been to a Mexican buffet before and I must say they have set the standard high. Their lunch buffet is limited/small, but that's good because you'll notice the staff come by and constantly stir the items or replace what needs to be replaced. The chicken and steak fajitas are delicious and everything is seasoned. They also bring you tortilla chips. Will definitely be returning for that buffet. read more

This place is actually pretty legit for laid back, consistent food and service. Usually Nico, the manager is there and always hooks you up on the alcoholic beverages. I never order off the menu, I always get Nico's special with is a spice faijita quesdilla. It's loaded with cheese, fajita chicken, onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, beans, sour cream, and guacomole. The enchiladas are decent too. Overall, not a bad neighborhood mexican spot. read more

My go to spot when I just wanna sit at the bar and drink a beer and eat some authentic Mexican food! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Can't ever complain! read more
