It has been a few years since we have eaten here…read more Came in for a late lunch and the place was empty. The male owner was serving us and seemed very rushed. That was not a good feeling, but then he also did not speak English well. He messed up three of the four items we ordered and of course they all cost more than what we ordered. When we got the bill and told him, he got the cook and we were able to settle everything out easily. We were told that the owner's wife was out so he was serving. We were happy to hear that his serving was temporary :). I am not sure if we received the lunch item or dinner item because our bill was wrong, but I ordered the chile verde chimichanga which comes with rice and beans. It was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! My partner had the bean and cheese lunch and he loved it as well. The salsa was flavorful and mild. All of the food was mild so next time I will ask for some spice! The restaurant is a good size and festive looking. It was clean and comfortable and the prices were good! We can't wait to go back!

Ordered half chicken which husband enjoyed but the rest was thrown out. 4 chicken flautas that were so burnt the meat looked like burnt steak. The chips they added for free were dark brown, the jalapeño poppers over cooked and dark brown was also missing any ranch for dipping. Lastly, we ordered 2 carne asada tacos and the meat was also burnt black and dark brown bits, no lime served on the side for these. After leaving a 25% tip online we'd hoped to have an enjoyable meal but we were disappointed. Also surprised at whoever packaged the food, letting it be served in that condition was concerning. We'll try elsewhere next time we are in the mood for good Mexican food.

I don't care what language anyone speaks, but cutting off a customer mid-order to serve someone else and leaving them standing there is incredibly rude and unprofessional. Basic courtesy and customer service shouldn't be too much to expect. And honestly, the food isn't even good enough to justify putting up with this kind of treatment. I only stopped by to get some salsa, and I can confidently say I will NEVER be back. There are plenty of other places that deserve my money more than this one. Terrible customer service, mediocre food, and absolutely no respect for customers' time. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The food is good, but the 1 star is for the service I have received. I have gave this place chance after chance after chance to see if maybe the woman who works the counter is just having a bad day but she treats me terribly every time I go into the place! Honestly I hate writing bad reviews I truly do but this is the only way to adjust your crew Taqueria Tepa I think she is just the nastiest woman alive!!!!!! 1st visit - she ripped the card out of my hand I extended my hand to retrieve the card but she disregards the gesture and slams the card on the counter. So rude! 2nd visit - same lady seen me walk in we lock eyes she then turns her back and starts talking in Spanish to one of the cooks they laugh then when she decided it was convenient to try and take my order I look her dead in the eyes and speak Spanish to her back informing her I did understand what she said which later shut her up and made the ordering process very awkward. 3rd and final visit - I bring my boyfriend in with me this time it is a test to see if she is just rude or just rude to me sure enough she kills my boyfriend with kindness but the moment I go to order she disregards me and keeps her eyes on my boyfriend in which he later had to order for me since she wouldn't even acknowledge my presence. I say the woman should be let go!!!!!!! The service here is shit! read more

Phenomenal find! Stopped in Placerville on the way to Tahoe…read more We were hungry. Paco's Taqueria was open. Great ambiance with libre masks on the walls and a very welcoming gentleman inviting us to sit down. Ordered margaritas while perusing the menu. Margs were VERY good! I noticed things on the menu I was unfamiliar with. Pack said it's cuisine from Mexico City. I ordered the Campechano (asada & chorizo) burrito and my date ordered a carnitas quesadilla. Burrito was HUGE! And extremely flavorful. Pack was quite attentive but casual and comfortable. What a gem! I will definitely be back to try other offerings from the vast menu. And another margarita of course!

First time there with a large family tonight. Food was awesome. No complaints there…read more However, the waitress tried something very dishonest when it came time to pay. Glad I paid attention. Hope this is not common practice... Once it was time for payment, we were brought over a cc machine that had the screen shown "add tip" amount with the percentages showing. We were shown no bill or breakdown. It seemed $20 more than what we should be charged. I told my husband that amount wasn't right and asked to see a receipt or break down. She then went back and rolled through it. The tip had been automatically added already! So she had tried to get me to pay another gratuity on top of the original bill and gratuity. When I told her that was very misleading she mumbled something about how that was just the way it shows. I was like "If gratuity is automatically added you need to tell people. And you dont just give them a screen to add a tip without showing them the bill - that is very misleading and is more than a double tip. It was as if she was counting on us not paying attention due to 5 little kids." Luckily, I always do math in my head. My husband almost just paid it. So if you go, make sure they show you the full receipt so you can check it before you pay. And watch out to see if they add an automatic gratuity. Never seen a restaurant not show what you are paying for... and just show you a screen asking for a tip. Looked incredibly dishonest. Would love to have a manager contact me as it felt as this has been done before. No print out of the receipt was given either. So I could see them doing this often. You have no way to check it.

I specifically asked if the "beef burrito" was steak? The service person confirmed that it was, so I ordered steak and my husband the carnitas. She asked if we wanted anything else and said nothing more...nope...said it'd be ready in about 15-20. Well, when I got there I was astonished to learn that the already $16 burrito has a $1.75 up-charge for steak! The service person never mentioned this up-charge when I placed my order and specifically asked about the beef burrito. Unhappy, I still paid and hoped that the burrito might be the best I've ever had since it was officially the most expensive take away burrito I've ever paid for. No. The meat was dry and exceedingly gristly. See pictures attached. The meat was clearly boiled rather than grilled given its whitish appearance and complete lack of flavor. The meat was practically minced into tiny little jerky like bits. My husband's carnitas were dry as well, but at least he didn't pay over 10% more for his poor quality meat. But, taste and quality aside, let's say this might have been just a very poor batch of carne asada. Well, then the portion of steak inside the burrito was a disappointment for my up-charge too--for any burrito, actually. There was the tiniest amount of meat within the burrito (see pic), far too much sour cream, no beans apparent by sight or taste and hardly any guacamole. For a $17.74 burrito before tax it was the worst and most expensive burrito I've ever had.
