    We had another great meal at Paco’s Tacos in Fort Mill. We were greeted by Aubrey and seated immediately. Katie, our server, did an excellent job, letting us know about new menu items and making sure we had everything we needed. All three of us enjoyed the delicious food (steak chimichanga, chicken quesadilla, and the taco salad) and appreciated being able to make some changes to the entrees based on dietary needs and food preferences. The folks in the kitchen got everything right, and all the food was served in a timely manner. Kaylie (AGM) and Donna (AGM) stopped by at different times during the evening to check on our dinners and to see if we were pleased with everything. We certainly were! Delicious food and a top-notch team at Paco’s make us eager to return.

    The staff was so nice and attentive, and the food was delicious. It was my mom's birthday and about five of the staff came out with instruments and masks to sing her a special happy birthday. We felt totally cared for and will definitely go back!
