Worthy Picks
#1
Paco's Tacos
7.9
A retro cantina anchored in Mar Vista since 1975, built around handmade flour tortillas and oversized combo plates that reward group ordering. The fish-tank-and-Christmas-lights dining room sets the tone—unhurried, unfussy, and sized for families who treat this as a weekly rotation spot rather than a special occasion. Portions run large enough that sharing a SuperMex burrito or splitting enchiladas is the move.
Must-Try Dishes:
Queso Fundido Con Chorizo, Flour Tortillas, Albondigas Soup
What Makes it Special: A Mar Vista fixture since 1975, serving massive combo plates and handmade flour tortillas in a retro cantina with fish tanks and Christmas lights.
