Paco's Tacos Cantina Poipu - KOLOA

Great margaritas! great guac! great service! fun atmosphere with live music and a super fantastic view.

A bit buggy, but it is open to expect on a cloudy Kauai day. bee

We sang on a Friday evening with a live 3pc band. the band was extremely loud and we couldn't turn around at all. Live music is beautiful and on a previous eve it was a single player that was good.

The taste and the portions were in order, but my carne asada was very tasteful. for chips and salsa to pay is a rare (most Mexican restaurants contain this as free, but because they are on an island, there are additional costs that can justify their reason for the fees. When we almost finished eating, my wife wanted a refill on her water. we couldn't find our waiter, so she took her glass into the bar. He filled her water by the ice and the water that was in the more soaking cooler. very careless and a blatant violation of the health code. that was a deal breaker for us.

Being from Southern California where great Mexican food is normal, I have come to expect less than good food at most Mexican restaurants in the islands. Pacos Tacos was a pleasant surprise. The food was good, I had Shrimp Fajitas and my wife had Carnitas. Quite good. The beans and rice were so so but the margaritas and beer were excellent and at a good price. This is a good 4 star Mexican restaurant. We will return. I am actually looking forward to eating breakfast here. The menu looks great.
