    Bean chimichanga
    Mandi G.

    We've been going here for years - hundreds of visits (my kids LOVE the food!) and it's always been consistently yummy, the service has been friendly, the dining area is very clean, and they've never once messed up our order! Definite 5 STARS from us! The rolled tacos with guacamole are great for a light meal or snack. The chimichangas are delicious and very filling (see photo!)

    Bean Tostada and Cheese Enchilada Combo about $10

    OK, simply put... Pacos has the best fast casual Mexican in Tucson! You can drive through or sit inside the small but spotless restaurant. Either way, you're gonna get great cooked to order Mex that is always yummy. Plus, the prices hover around the $10 mark for generous platters. Mexican cokes are also very fairly priced at around $2 a bottle. The only slight negative is the keyed outside restroom but hey, even the restroom is always spotless. Love me some Pacos!!

    Carne Asada

    The food is great, but I don't understand why it looks like the bag was swung around after it's put inside. My wife has uh... sensitivities that caused her to curse, run into and slam the bathroom door shut, and sob when she saw this. I'm really tired of having to console her when we eat here, but she doesn't want me to ever go back anyway. This is the 2nd time in a row this has happened. All I do is take the bag from the gal at the window, put it in the passenger seat, and drive 5 minutes home.

    Breakfast Carne Asada Burritos

    I was originally very skeptical because their breakfast burritos cost around 5 dollars but these burritos are absolutely worth that cost! Homemade tortillas with that necessary chewy factor. The burrito was absolutely chock full of flavor including perfectly braised potatoes and chorizo. Coming from San Antonio breakfast tacos, I can say I was still impressed at the taste and size of these burritos. Don't know about the rest of the food but I'll be sure to try out their lunch and dinner options at a later date!

    I stopped by Paco's for a quick dinner on 11/12/2021. I was very impressed with the super speedy service and kind service. Furthermore, the food was da freaking bomb. I've been to A LOT of late-night drive-thru Mexican restaurants that all remind me of each other. However, Paco's stands out. I ordered combination plate number one, which comes with a beef taco, cheese enchilada, refried beans and rice. As soon as I got the food the aroma took over my entire car and I had to control every bit of me to not dig in while behind the wheel. The minute I got to by Airbnb, I didn't even bother unloading the car. I ran straight inside, sat at my table and ate away. It was SO GOOOOOD, especially the beef taco. It was super flavorful, and stuffed with delicious, slow cooked meat. The cheese enchilada was amazing as well, dipped in both red and green sauces which I was generously provided. All around Paco's did me good and I would gladly return!

    They are good but their business hours aren't too long and they aren't open on certain days of the week.

    One of the best in Tucson. All of the burritos are good and the enchiladas are outstanding. On top of that the place is very clean.

    Amelias Mexican Kitchen - 1 QUESABIRRIA WITH SOUP (juicy meat)

    I have always had a really good experience with the food at Amelia's. We have gone for their brunch…read moreas well as their dinner, and I think they have a great refried beans recipe! If you are able to go for brunch, I would recommend getting the Chilaquiles with both the red and green sauce! You will not be going wrong with this. I am relatively vegetarian, and so if you don't eat lard, you can also get the black beans as another vegetarian option!

    Came here off of a recommendation, and while it was decent, it definitely didn't live up to the…read morehype. When we entered the restaurant, I was immediately impressed with all of the accolades that Amelia's Kitchen seems to have accrued over the years. Maybe that set my expectations too high. We made a reservation, which I highly recommend, so we were quickly seated. but it did take a bit for someone to actually come and greet us and take our drink orders after being sat down. Then it was probably another 40 minutes before we actually got our food. I'm not sure if it was this lag time that affected the food quality, but several of my items were just lukewarm and some even cold? The star of the show was definitely, the molcajete. This came out sizzling and full to the brim with shrimp, nopales, chicken, asada, cheese, and lots of other goodies. In hindsight, I probably should've ordered one for myself. I went with the chicken mole enchiladas. Again, the sauce was okay but not super spicy, and it was a little cold, as was my side of rice and beans. We also ordered the mini birria chimis to share. and these were just OK, they tasted like frozen food. Overall, if you come here, I highly recommend getting the molcajete, but can't really vouch for any other items. Maybe we'll try it again on a less busy night.
