Review: Paco's Tacos and Tequila

When I mentioned I was craving Mexican food, a friend of mine suggested we go have lunch at Paco’s Tacos.  I started giggling, Paco’s Tacos??  But I went anyway, and was happily surprised.  Sadly, I have forgotten to bring my camera during my several visits, so I will have to add photos later.

The restaurant is tucked away behind Williams Sonoma, just across the street from SouthPark Mall.  It is a bit dark inside, and appears cramped until you sit down.  I have always sat at the booths on the “lower” level, just a few steps down after you enter the restaurant.  It is right next to the window, so it seems much lighter.

Review: San Antonio's Modern Mexican, A taste of the southwest?

I’m from Southern Arizona. I say this because I expect a certain type and quality of food when it comes to Mexican fare. I either want Baja style or good old Sonoran comfort food. Yes, I know there is a lot more to Mexican cuisine, but that’s what I grew up with. However, I’ve learned to accept that cheese crisps (tortillas slathered in butter with cheese melted on top, best served with heaping portions of guacamole) are replaced with quesadillas outside of Arizona.
