About Paco restaurant
Everything at Paco restaurant is cooked fresh to order, and the chef comes out to the table to ask how you want your steak. The kitchen works from Burton Road in Leeds, grilling fish and seafood, including king prawns, and putting together combo plates such as lamb chop with prawns. Mains arrive with rice, plantain, salad and veg on the side, and portions run large. Reservations are recommended if you plan to eat in. Online ordering is set up for anyone taking food away rather than sitting down. The restaurant serves Tuesday through Sunday and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Freshly grilled seafood is what draws reviewers back most, with one describing fish served with plantains and salad as good enough to return for the same order the next day. Close behind sits the combo plate, singled out for its rice, king prawns and grilled wings, alongside mentions of paella, crab pepesoup, and a lamb chop and prawn combination described as cooked to perfection. Several also note generous portions and food cooked fresh, with a few calling the meals healthy for the amount of veg. The owner-chef himself features in nearly every account as friendly and hands on, coming to the table to ask how a steak should be cooked and turning orders around quickly. Reviewers describe the room as relaxed, clean and welcoming, and several say outright that they would recommend it. One party recounts arriving after a father's funeral and having their meal quietly paid for by a friend of the owner.

“A well-kept restaurant where the overall mood stays stable and welcoming. The visit progresses at a natural pace, maintaining clarity and balance throughout the experience.”
- John Johnson
“Warm and welcoming. Food was fantastic , service with a smile. Could not fault the place. As an overwhelming gesture one of the owners friends found out we had just returned from my father’s funeral and paid for our meal. Much love to Paco, his son and customers for making a sad day into something nice. Much love John and Anneke xx”
- TOMOD
“Second time eating at Paco’s, we got the combo meal which was a generous portion of perfectly cooked rice, amazing king prawns and grilled wings which were absolutely on point. A real hidden gem if you’re into real cooked food. The service was as good as the food. 10/10 would reccommend!”
