Editorial Review for Paquito's Mexican Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This strip-mall restaurant is easy to miss, but it's worth a look at the the over-the-top decor. The dining area is overflowing with every manner of Mexican handicraft and tchotchke, from earthenware to woven tapestries. The food is also worth pulling over for. Cilantro-heavy salsa and light, crisp chips elevate the appetizer beyond the norm. Entrees range from the mandatory burrito, enchilada and taco combination plates to authentic dishes like the green mole with pork.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

05/22/2008 Posted by stormingnorm

the food was terrible , overcooked, chicken was hard, very oily Yuck! The service was even worse than the food , the waitress could not handle the large group and forgot some orders, Eventually the forgotten platter arrived after other Diners had finished after complaining twice. Complaints to the manager who arrived after 15 mins where met with a "couldnt care less"attitude and not interested in addressing the problem with poor service The Salsa and nachos were OK. The Desserts were tasteless I would rate this as the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in with the worst Service. By Comparison , McDonalds is a better option

Pros: none except for maintaining the diet by not eating the ghastly food

Cons: bad service, greasy food, poor quality

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
