A friend recommended Paco's to us when we asked for a local Mexican food suggestion. We were expecting traditional TexMex, but this is not traditional TexMex. Smaller servings. Very spicy, unusual ingredients. Also, a food preparer stuck his bare finger in a dinner to stir it before it was served. However, the waitstaff was very good.

Service was horrible. Our server kept coming back and forth telling us our food/drinks were backed up by the kitchen and then came back out to tell us they were out of them. Server forgot drinks 3 times and forgot our order when we wanted the check so she made us repeat everything back to her. I had to go up to her and ask for two risk because it had been 20 minutes since we asked for them and didn’t receive them. The food was alright but it didn’t make up for the service.

This was our second trip to Paco's, and this was Mothers Day Sunday. We had reservations and were promplty seated. Our server was great and explained the special menu to us and knew all the prices and portion sizes. Everything was served hot and as ordered. The only shortcoming was the cevcecie did'nt seem to be seasonsed with the lime for cooking enough. Everything else was spot on. Especialy the Chili's Relleno which were as good as we've had anywhere!

The food was outstanding! Service was a bit slow because they were very busy. I don’t think they were prepared for the TCU graduation crowd, but the food was worth the wait! I had the Tacos de Chapulin or grasshopper tacos as an appetizer. They were delicious! We will be back!

Service was slow and not good. We came to eat and dance but unsteady of playing music. They had a ufc fight on, so we left and went elsewhere after we paid. It took so long to get our food and drinks we ordered and drank less. Won't likely go back

Service was very slow. We walked in and had to seat ourselves, ok that’s not a problem I guess since it was only one table there eating…then someone having a party in the banquet room. They had three different menus, my party grabs them to see what was the difference. The waitress then comes and tell us we had the wrong one. Well perhaps y’all should’ve sat us. The table wobbled a lot so we moved to try to find a better table. They all wobbled, then another waitress comes and tells us to move again. Food took a ridiculously long time to come out despite them not being busy. On top of that, 3 of 4 people who ate got sick afterwards

Party of 4 Visited on a Saturday morning at 11am. There was only 1 other table. Service was very slow despite the few people. They were out of Bloody Mary mix and didn’t have regular frozen margaritas…only strawberry and mango. We had to ask for more chips multiple times and the $15 Birria tacos tasted like they were days old and not made fresh like other restaurants make them to order. All of our table was very disappointed with the experience and will not be back.

To start, the waitress got frustrated with my fiance when he asked her to bring us silverware and plates to eat our queso flameada appetizer? Took a bit to receive my margarita, which they have an award for “Best Margarita of Fort Worth” on the host stand). Let’s just start with that bartender must’ve been off that day. It was HORRIBLE. Tasted like cucumber and maybe half a shot of tequila, if that. Our dinner went on, nothing exciting about the food, just meh. But our waitress completely dissappeared and never returned to serve us. Thankfully another server jumped in to get us taken care of. We will not be returning here for low quality food, bad drinks and horrible service.

We discovered Paco's a couple of months ago on a weekend getaway to Ft Worth, and the food and margaritas have been great both times. Our daughter was visiting from Nashville, and she can't find good TexMex there, so we had to take her to Paco's while she was here in addition to her other favorite places. Be sure you know which location you're making your reservation at. Both times I've made reservations on Open Table, I thought I was making them at the Sundance Square location, but both times it was at the other location a couple of miles away. Not sure if it's user error or they have the restaurants coded wrong on the app, but be careful on your reservations.

I made a reservation, through Open Table, for a Monday. The restaurant was closed. Doors locked. No one insight. No sign on the building saying it was closed on Monday. Open Table did not state it is closed Mondays. Very disappointed that Open Table allowed a reservation for a closed restaurant.

Date night for the wife and I- Came in to like mariachi music - small venue but I was little be okay- then 9:00 hit and the strobing lights hit Im epileptic- fortunately I’m not photosensitive to trigger but it does give me a headache Volume was too loud to have a conversation mostly without yelling Music decibel is that if a large club and it’s again a small restaurant - it’s good food mostly margs were way more ice than drink so drink sizes are deceptive I had been craving their fried tacos which is why we went- But after this- prolly won’t be back honestly

Food was good, service was as well. Menu is pricey and many things we wanted they were selling that night. Definitely if you go with kids it turned into a club with loud music I think they were telling us to go already LOL.. sorry !

Went for mother's day and called twice in advance and was greeted by more than one person but we weren't told that they were doing an extremely limited menu until we tried to order. Food was still good, just wish that we would've known because we weren't expecting breakfast food only..

I realize it was Cinco d Mayo but the service was very slow, food selection limited. 10 min until water, another ten minutes to take order, had to get utensils myself, food out one hour after seating, and then the drinks came after we finished our meal. Then upset stomach all night.

We had an open table reservation for 12:15 PM on a Friday and we were seated immediately. We ordered 1 soup and 2 entrees after a reasonable time delay, and were given chips and salsa to enjoy. Salsa was good, the chips were warm. However, it was a full 45-minute wait from that point until we received any additional food. My husband and I both considered this to be completely unreasonable. We ordered directly from the menu, with no modifications. My husband received his lunch entree simultaneously with his soup. My entree came several minutes later, without the tortillas and no mention of their absence. After I flagged someone down to ask about them, I was told they were coming. They did come a couple minutes later. While the food itself was quite tasty, hot, and enjoyable, my husband and I don’t plan to return again because the timing of the delivery was so very off (without explanation or any apparent reason or apology), that it made the dining experience an overall negative one. There are too many other places from which to choose! I had been there once in the past with a friend when it was a much smaller place; it was mid-afternoon, no crowd, owner/chef visited with us, and food was served quickly. This most recent experience was nothing like that one. Except the food itself was tasty.
