    Rock Tacos
    David C.

    I was recommended to this taco shop by a friend of mine. Coming from San Diego my Taco Expectation is VERY HIGH. The restaurant was empty at 1pm on a Saturday so I was immediately helped. MARIA was very kind and helpful and I my food came out hot & fast. Tables were clean and I observed numerous customers come in for take out orders. Overall a good experience for authentic Mexican tacos in NOLA.

    I went for Taco Tuesday. Five traditional (street) tacos for $10.00. This was a great experience. Simple to order. Food came up fast and the taste was exceptional. I'll be back

    This was my first time here and it was great! These tacos are the best I've ever had and I would definitely come back! The service was also great, and the food came out quickly. Great restaurant!

    Service is great and the salsas are very good. I had the rock tocos, which birria can be hit or miss but these were very delicious!

    If you're looking for good tacos and food in general, put Paco's Tacos on your list and look no further. These are some of the best quality tacos I've had in the city. So fresh and delicious, the ladies can be seen in the open kitchen making them to order. And the salsa bar is so good with lots of options for the meek of heart to the heat seeking crowd. They offer beer, Coke products in bottles and Mexican soft drinks. Use the app to collect points too.

    Tacos were just okay; nothing to brag about. Also they did not want to do the free taco promo on Tuesday which was a turn off. The birra sauce was pretty tasty.

    So I originally went to Los jefes for birria tacos. Was highly disappointed so I went here right after. Was kinda full already so I only ordered one taco, andddddd I wasn't disappointed. To start, I love the entire female staff situation they got going on. Felt super comfortable. Staff was super nice . Bathrooms clean. Now onto the food... I enjoyed it. I wish I could have gone to Pacos tacos originally, won't make that mistake again. The broth was unbeatable , the super tender meat , and the shell of the taco alone was amazing. Definitely will be going back. And will be my first choice.

    Great tacos especially the birria! Highly recommend. The parking lot is tiny but you'll get over that quickly

    Rock tacos

    The best birria tacos I've had. Service is always fast and food is always hot and delicious. I have only had the Rock tacos because they are literally so good. Go give these guys a try!

    Five traditional tacos

    Good and affordable tacos. Rock tacos (3 per order) are probably what they're known for. Birria tacos with melted cheese inside of a hard taco and a side of the beef broth to dip into. Honestly, they're good but not overly exciting, so I'm not sure what the hype is about. Shrimp tacos with guacamole are good too. There's a self served, unlimited sauce bar next to the counter as well. The dining tables are always dirty here. Every visit, never fails. They don't wipe down the tables right after the customer leaves. It's discouraging. Cashiers are usually nice though, so you'll just have to ask them to wipe it down unless you don't care.

    We came across this place while we were in the NOLA area. Definitely a nice little taco spot if you are looking for some good tacos. Below is what we had. Quesa birria - 5 star - best taco at the restaurant and honestly which I just had these for all my tacos. Paco taco - 3 star - the steak was way over cooked and super chewy Tromping - 4 star - good, but needed a little salt Shrimp taco - 4 star - good but still needed flavor Would probably go back for the quesa birria, but would probably not order the others again.

    Ask the Community - Pacos Tacos

    I am totally confused. The name of this business is Taco Ton & it's located on Airline Hwy, but pictures & reviews are from Pacos Tacos in Metairie on Veterans Blvd. Where are the reviews for this business?

    I am not sure why the name of the bussiness changed. Because this is definitely Paco taco

    Is this still in business?

    Yes it is

A few years ago I had been to La Tia in Metairie, and it left a serious impression. What stuck with me most were the craft cocktails...creative, clever, and a little bit mischievous. I still remember one in particular: a Mexican-inspired cocktail with mezcal and beet juice that somehow managed to taste like summer decided to take a vacation south of the border. It was the kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and say, "Okay... whoever thought of this deserves a raise." Somehow the place drifted off my radar over time. But when the craving for Mexican food hit, it popped right back into my head. I was excited to bring my son and daughter-in-law since they had never been. Unfortunately... the reunion didn't exactly go as planned. Two things hit me immediately while looking over the menu. First: the craft cocktails were gone. Not "different." Not "updated." Just... gone. Replaced with the same drinks you see in every other Mexican restaurant. Second: the prices nearly made me spit out the water I hadn't even ordered yet. $6 for a Corona. $18 for a basic burrito with fries. $10 for a kids plate over chicken tenders and some fries. And not the old La Tia burritos either...the ones I remembered piled high with rich molé, bright verde sauces, and layers of flavor that made you wonder if you should be taking notes. Nope. Now we're talking about a plain flour tortilla with some ground meat inside, no sauce, and a side of what looked suspiciously like freezer-aisle French fries. For eighteen dollars. My daughter-in-law ordered the fajitas, and honestly... they were rough. Thin strips of overcooked meat that looked like they had taken a brief vacation in a plastic bag before hitting the grill...served on a plate. Lately I've gotten into the habit of pulling up Yelp photos to compare dishes from past years, and I did exactly that. I found a photo of the same fajitas from about three years ago...big, juicy steak pieces, sizzling on cast iron and full of life. What we got looked like it came from a completely different restaurant. To be fair, my shrimp tacos were actually pretty good. Nicely cooked shrimp, decent flavor, and probably the lone bright spot of the night. But overall, it felt like the La Tia I loved had quietly packed up and left the building. The elevated Mexican food? Gone. The rich sauces? Gone. The inventive cocktails that made the bar worth sitting at? Also gone. In their place: food that feels pulled from a bag... at prices that feel pulled from a luxury menu. It's a tough thing when a restaurant you once loved loses its spark. But sadly, this visit felt less like a reunion and more like running into an old friend who has completely changed--and not for the better. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see myself returning to La Tia anytime soon. Turns out the only thing that stayed spicy... was the price tag.

On our last visit the fajitas were incredibly salty and we did not even finish them. Well, THEY ARE BACK! I am very happy to say this! We went there last week and had the chicken and steak fajitas and they were incredible once again. Great flavor, well seasoned, cooked to perfection. I have one big complaint, however, and it has something to do with their supplier. In my wife's and my opinion, the shells they provide to you for the fajitas are an absolute joke. Taco Bell's shells are larger. Every other Mexican food restaurant I have gone to are larger. Really, guys, I don't want to hear about your supplier, I could not care less and really do not want excuses. Then, the bartender has the Gaul to tell us that they are designed more for pushing than making a fajita! DO NOT tell me how to eat my meal and do not come up with such a poor excuse. This place has great Margaritas. Donnie is an incredible chef putting out the best Fajitas in the city! Don't insult your restaurant, your customers, and Donnie and give your customers Fajita shells that would be better suited to little hands in a grade school cafeteria!

Once I ordered, the food and drinks came out quickly. The 'unlimited' mimosas actually cap at 5, which is fine, but the mix they use cheapens the drink, and the glasses weren't the cleanest. The birria and grits were good (about a 7/10), though I think the pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese on top took away from the dish. A traditional white cheese would have worked better. The birria tacos were tasty, though. The bathrooms could use attention as there were no paper towels, which makes me wonder what employees do after washing their hands. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely cost-efficient. With a few tweaks to the drinks and presentation, this place could easily go from a 3-star to a 4- or 5-star brunch spot. I'll be back to try the tacos and check out the unlimited margaritas.

The presentation on this was spectacular, and the entree came with three tacos, the consume, beans, rice and onions. They were truly delicious. I almost forgot the drinks. I had two guava margaritas, and they were an excellent accompaniment. Overall, a great experience. As other people have mentioned, the parking is very limited.
