Suggestion Best Posts in Thread: Pacos Tacos Valencia

Merely a stand with a cook and a stove serving delicious Mexican style food. Recommendation - spicy chili verde burrito add as much jalapeño sauce to fit your taste. Simple bean and cheese burrito and tacos are popular as well. For my San Diego taste, nothing here comes close to Tommy's place. Btw, no bouncers or obnoxious dudes.

 

I think this place is much needed in Valencia. The Mexican food is delicious. I eat there almost everyday. If you've never been to the place then you must make time to visit. I'm sure it'll satisfy your craving for Mexican food.

 

Eat there several times a week. Good tex mex.
Nothing like Amigos Taco in Manhattan beach, but the closest I got since we moved here ;-)

 

There are stretches where I'm at Taco Tayo every day. I try to hit Paco's Taco's when he sets up in GieGie's on Saturdays. You have to try them both. They are made differently and each have their unique things I like. If Paco's Taco's were in Dumaguete, then I would probably switch off every day between the two.

And I'm not sure you can compare these two places on value since they are in two different cities. For me, a commute would negate differences in value.

 

The bean burritos are the closest that I have had to Taco Bell and probably better since they aren't fast food. It doesn't sound like a compliment to get compared to Taco Bell, but that's one of the places I really miss.

Yikes, they have a ridiculous review on Trip Advisor. More like a personal attack than a review. If you guys like the place, you might leave one for him.

 

They also setup shop at GieGie's on Saturday's.

 

I really like Paco Taco's myself but also found the prices a bit steep. However considering Valencia and the options their it was far better then running downtown if you live up there. Yet while the prices were a bit steep I really love the food which makes a big difference to me. I'll pay the extra price for good quality food happily. Also for instance Paco Taco's soft taco's fill me up much more then a soft taco from Taco Tayo's while the Taco Tayo soft taco is cheaper. Kind of balances itself out and both taco's are nice.

 

I'll try. Coming from Bagacay when you enter Valencia drive until you see the park (on left) turn left onto the road in front of the park and about 2/3 of the way down in the middle of the shops (on the left as the park is on your right) you should see a green cactus sign (about 6 foot tall) right there is the taco stand in a small trailer looks kinda like a covered wagon. Has small red table and chairs (plastic) out front to sit and eat your food. I'm not great with directions but I hope this helps. If not maybe someone with better knowledge of the area can assist you.
