My go-to for affordable, good Mexican food. Always fast service. Great salsa. Definitely recommend

Pay attention to your receipt. The quesadilla was $10 and the sour cream was $6. She charged $3.00 for each extra sour cream and refused to refund amount. Worker claimed she couldn't give a refund because we order 2 side orders of sour cream. I asked her to look at the camera because that's not what we ordered and she refused. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she said we need to call back later to speak to a supervisor. She refused to give us a name or a time to call. Clearly customer service is not a priority here. read more

Paquito's - Unclear menu. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

My hands down favorite place to get cheap and delicious mexican food. Everything on the menu is truly so good. They crank it out pretty quickly at very affordable prices. Make sure to get the tacos and toasdas. The place is very small and they only have 2 tables, so grabbing a seat can be tough! read more

Horrible service. I went in for a quesadilla and asked for sour cream and an extra sour cream add on. The girl at the counter scammed me of $6 for two tubs of sour cream that I did not ask for. I asked for an extra of the add on which is 95¢. I told her she charged me $6 for sour cream and she said I couldn't get my money back. She was wrong and on the menu it literally says 95¢. Why would I pay $6 for two tubs of sour cream for one quesadilla? She was nasty and rude and tried to lie that I asked for two sides of sour cream. read more

I used to go here when I was a college student in the 90s. Really cheap eats but good food. I always remembered how I liked their steak rice and beans. Decided to take my family and now my kids love it too. Still very good prices. Quesadillas come with a side of salad. Flautas come with rice and beans- I preferred them with less cotija cheese on top so not too salty. The tostada was pretty filling. The torta (sandwich) got great reviews from my son. Rice and beans with fresh pico de gallo and lime is a great side to any meal. The place is small though. We've been lucky to snag the one table inside that can seat 5 of us. read more

I ordered to go which is always risky when you're trying a new place, but I was not disappointed. Although, everything had a little too much beans for my liking it was all so wonderful and exactly the Mexican food I was craving. Not too spicy but the perfect amount of kick. Large portions and great prices. I am definitely interested in trying more wonderful dishes and dining in person also. read more

Paquito's - Mexican Nachos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I have been going to Laquitos for over 20 years. Hands down, the best mole sauce. I always order the same dish,,,enchiladas with beef and mole sauce along with mixed beans and rice. It's a craveable dish. I love to order extra raw onions for the top ; it just makes me smile when I sit down and eat it. HIGHLY recommend, read more

I've ordered Paquito's for a few days straight because I really enjoy the experience. Food comes in large quantities, especially for the prices and I always enjoy my meal. I've tried the chicken / beef fajitas and it's very nice that it's fully mixed in with the other ingredients. I like the chicken tacos too. read more

food always good arrives fast! I love the combo burrito! Delivery guy is great and they pack the bags perfectly

The food is always so fresh and such good portion! A good healthy fresh meal!! They are also so so sweet there !!!

called my order in, the customer service rushed me off the phone and messed up my order. when I called them to get my phone that was paid for, they gave me the run around, the food is on the way. An hour later and after numerous calls. they never sent the food and o was out of my money. never again will we order from Pequito. read more

Lots to like at this East Village Mexican spot. First and foremost, there is a charming back yard to dine al fresco without the burden of noise or traffic. That's sooo unique and wonderful. You feel like you're eating in a friend's yard and that's a great feeling. The food is good and the drinks were fun. Pricing was commensurate for the area -not cheap not terrible. Pete had fajitas and I had shrimp and rice. The interior is drastically different than the outside. You'll prolly walk right past this restaurant if you're not looking for it, so keep an eye peeled. read more

Ordered delivery and man I need to dine in here in person. Got the steak burrito and the steak definitely had "it", tender and flavorful and cooked to perfection. The burrito travelled well and I was really impressed with this place and look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

Paquito's - Steak burrito - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Quick service & dank tacos. 10/10 recommend My friend and I wanted to switch up our regular taco spot and decided to stop by. Paquito's is a small walk up and order type of place. I ordered shrimp tacos & my friend ordered chicken. They were great, fresh ingredients, and came loaded with toppings. At the time we came, there was no inside seating besides the bar facing outside. Its a nice option to chill, eat, and people watch the East Villagers. Next time we stop by, I'll be sure to try something new. read more

Food was okay, I got the vegetarian burrito and it was honestly pretty bland. Service was okay and the actual ambiance was pretty good, the price was fair though read more

Paquito's is not as helpful as they have been in the past but the food is good

I almost hate to write this review because Paquitos is a hidden gem in the city. I am obsessed with this place. This is by far, probably my favorite mexican spot in the city. I am a big "Hard shell" taco kind of girl who also loves a good steak taco. Normally those come on soft tortillas but here I can customize that. It also comes with guac and cheese on the taco. The hot sauce is amazing and the salsa is delicious as well. I am literally obsessed. The only downside for me is that I remember when this place was a full service restaurant. I miss that because I used to be able to enjoy a marg with my meal. Otherwise, I am so thankful there is an option like this in the city! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. After waiting 2hrs i called and they said it was on the way. I call back 30min later, and they said they lost my delivery. Then after 5 mins of talking i had to convince them to remake my food that they lost !! Then the delivery guy called me, and I missed the call and called back within 1 min and he said he left, and wasn't coming back. He didn't even ring my buzzer, and gave me attitude because he said he wasn't getting a tip, when I tipped $4. HANDS DOWN THE WORST CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. read more

We are from San Diego Ca and we know real Mexican food and this is not it. The food was flavorless and bland, and even the service was horrible. The clerk in the front was neither friendly nor helpful, and everything I requested was followed by a no. The cooks where accommodating and nice, however it was the two clerks in the front that refused to be helpful. I asked for extra salsa and was told I only get one salsa per entree. I ended up with salsas only halfway filled and was charged 50 cents each. I don't know about y'all, but we got salsa bars in our San Diego taco shops, so this was whack.

This is very good and very authentic Mexican food. Here is what my girlfriend and I like from ordering delivery today and yesterday. The Cactus Enchilada was amazing and very fresh, the Cheese Quesadilla was perfect with very high quality cheese. The Veggie Chili was hands down some of the best Chili I have had in 50 years. the Vegetable Fajitas was also very good. I would order all of these again many times. Now for the not perfect. The Sweet Plantains were very dry and I think we were just not prepared for them. The Grilled Vegetable Taco Salad was not enough salad and the Taco was very deep fried tasting and not good. The Vegetable Chimichanga was just too deep fried for my taste, the Vegetables inside were very good though. My son also liked his Beef Asada Burrito. I will suggest staying away from the deep fried. Otherwise everything is very fresh and good. read more

Excelente comida. Siempre bien servicio. La chica que trabaja los teléfonos es encantadora.

Service was horrible! Had an unpleasant encounter with female cashier after changing my order within a minute of my phone call. Although I apologized for the change, she was extremely rude, unprofessional, and combative. When I walked into establishment, cashier proceeded to ignore and not acknowledge me when I approached the register to pay. When I offered professional feedback for her behavior, she was unwilling to accept accountability and instead said "I'm the first person to tell her this" while also rolling her eyes. We are living in a generation where paying customers are given attitude and not valued. Beware of the customer service here! read more

I order mexican nachos and it was more beans than anything . I didnt finish it. Not good

Got food poisoning from here last night. Pork quesadilla or the chips and guac made me so sick. Had to call out sick today, had some really important meetings. Super disappointing read more

GREAT MEXICAN FOOD!!! The tacos, burrito, and dessert were incredible. I will be coming back!

W eats I usually get the burritos and it's usually good I assume that the delivery is good too but I'm not the one usually delivering

I only order delivery from here and every experience has been great. The food is delicous and fresh and fast. The delivery people are so great. They usually ask for about 30-40 minutes delivery time during dinner rush which I think it totally reasonable. read more

I was randomly roaming this area this past week and was in need of fuel for the machine. A happy hour special was in effect when I stopped in, I believe it is from 4-7pm everyday. Don't let the front dining area deter you, because at 6:30pm, there was nare a soul to be found in the front, the place looked dead. But the secret is in their backyard garden. Beautiful space in the back and seemed like all the patrons were darting back there immediately. I sidled up to the bar and asked if happy hour was still going on and yes, the Gods were smiling on me. And for $6, you have a choice of sangria, mojito or margarita. The margarita was a very decent size, tasty and well made. While I was peering over the menu, a nice waiter brought me over some chips and salsa, on the house! At 6:50pm, because I am an opportunist, I asked the barmaid to make me another margarita and ordered a quesadilla with jalapenos. They are also sides of cactus too, interesting. And by 7:20pm, my bellly was full, my brain swimming in endorphins and the dent in my wallet was only $20. You really can't beat that here in NYC. Two large-size margs, FREE chips and salsa, and a very delicious jalapeno quesadilla all for a mere $20. Also, they have quite a few vegetarian options, so you didn't feel like you had to be creative to make your meal. Now, I was ready to take on whatever the night had in store for me. Thanks Paquito's for being a friendly place, with decent drinks, food and low traffic. These days the people here are just getting to me... read more

Delivery from Paquitos tonight was pretty darn delicious. Went the healthy(ish) route with the chicken and beans/rice + an avocado salad. Let's start with the salad: Great size. A lot of perfectly ripe avocado on top. Vinegrette dressing was yummy and light. Carrots, iceberg lettuce, radish and onions. Highly recommend it. Chicken entree: Also quite large. Portion is enough for two meals. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The hot sauce they include has a nice kick. Not overly oily or "mushy" like some Mexican places. Ask for extra pico to put on top. The meal was delicious and flavorful without all the cheese, cream, and fried things most Mexican dishes consist of. I'll definitely be ordering delivery from here again! Delivery was fast! Delivery man was friendly. read more

I've been coming to Paquito's for nachos since the '90s. Today after I ordered the owner lady said they don't have beans because of an issue with ConEd (shady). I asked if the nachos were still $10 without beans and she said, "Yes." The nacho chips were super stale and lame overall. I've been coming here so long. Feels like she should've told me the chips would be stale without the beans. $10? So lame. By-bye, Paquito's. read more

Paquito's - Stale chips for $10. Yuck. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

There are some Mexican places that are all about the food and many more that are better for the drinks. Pacquito's is definitely fits the latter. Happy Hour is all the rage here, as is their endless supply of cheap margaritas, beers, and semi-strong sangria. And while food usually goes hand in hand with a decent array of happy hour drinks, eating at Pacquito's will usually prove to be disappointing or perhaps fatal by the looks of things. Despite their claims for "authentic and delicious" Mexican food, most everything here is everything but. Soggy enchiladas, flavorless rice, overly soupy beans, embarrassing tostadas, and terrible tacos are thankfully not at all expensive. Food here is on par with the faux-TexMex delivery chains run by Chinos all over the city, and they cost about the same too. The most expensive thing on the menu (carne asada burrito) is still under $10, which for the NYU crowd is just right. I will credit Pacquitos with a good variety of vegetarian options, it's not every day veggie folks are able to choose more than just salad on a Mexican food menu. Cactus, spinach, and peppers are available as burrito fillings and all range from $5-8 each. As long as one gets a wheat wrapped tortilla without cheese, vegan hipsters can go home happy. Service has always been subpar here. The staff can be moody at times, lackluster and apathetic service tend to be the case. Delivery seems to be the one exception in which they do quite well. It's lightning fast and for the most part piping hot. Dominos doesn't have anything on Pacquitos. As previously mentioned, the happy hour and drink-a-thon is where Pacquito's role is best served. During the spring and summertime, the open back area is a great place to chat over a pitcher of sangria or margaritas and a beer or 10. The inside area is as Ladies Man would describe - small and dinky. Drunks from all walks of life have been through here, not a pretty site in the wee hours of the night, so make your next visit to Pacquitos, an after work one. read more

Simply delicious! Big servings ... doesn't get any better then Paquitios ..a good family restaurant as well

Rude staffs, on top of that, there was barely any meat in the beef burrito, not to mention, it was poorly wrapped, making the eating process worst than it can already get. The tortilla wrap was soggy... it just sucks. Was a complete rip off for chips, guacamole was definitely not fresh and watery- tasteless, salsa was worst... for $6, I could get better chip and salsa at the supermarket. shrimp taco was nothing special, blend and boring. Do avoid or come at your own risk. read more

After walking around the area for about 20 minutes looking for a good happy hour we finally stumbled upon this place. The place was completely dead at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. We were pleasantly greeted and seated promptly. They have a cute outdoor patio/bar and indoor seating as well- very cute Mexican decor. $6 frozen margaritas during happy hour. We tried all 4 flavors but the Mango & passion fruit were my fav. I had the enchiladas with sweet plantains on the side and omg it was sooooo good. The plantains were the best I've ever had! The BF got a burrito and of course I ate half of it... It was delicious and huge. Our waiter Juan was excellent- very personable & friendly. I would def recommend this place to all my fellow yelpers!! read more
