Not because of the smoking, but because Taco Bell is trash. You're better than that. Tacos Tolteca is amazing. We've been trying some other local places recently, but made our triumphant return last night, on our way to do some laundry. I got the chicken chimichanga - fried. It comes covered in cheese sauce, with a glorious side of refried beans and some rice. Do yourself the favor and get a container of their freshly made pico de gallo, too. My boyfriend got the Gordo Burrito (Large burrito stuffed with grilled chicken, chorizo, refried beans, Spanish rice and pico de gallo. Covered with queso dip). And some nachos (Nacho chips topped with your choice of meat, queso dip, lettuce, sour cream, and pico de gallo. + .99 for Guacamole) to share - but we were too full up to eat them, so we brought them home. Those are gonna be great with a cocktail! Would definitely recommend!!

This last time, I tried their birria for the first time, which is my go to the last couple of years when eating Mexican, and was genuinely shocked by how bad it was. The meat, while tender, was flavorless, as was the broth and the cheese used for the quesabirria was American. I took two more tentative bites after the first one because I thought, there is no way they're using American cheese. No, they definitely are. I ended up calling because I was disappointed that I didn't have anything to eat for lunch (it was that bad, which is remarkable when you're talking about tacos), and the staff confirmed, with no irony, that they use white American and further, that they use it on all their dishes. Crazy. I'd also ordered lunch for the staff of a local business who had been really kind to me recently, so I can only hope their food wasn't anything like mine. I probably won't try them again, but hoping their sister restaurant, La Tolteca hasn't similarly declined.

False Menu Pricing…read more. The chicken flautas online say $9.99 and I got two orders=$20, but instead was charged $29 for both of them. I also got a horchata for $5, delivery fee is $3. It should've been around 29 bucks, I genuinely believe they squeezed me out of more money once I let them know how much I had in total cause I needed change. Overall, very deceiving. They let me know ahead of time on the phone the delivery person will give me change. I asked for change to the delivery person and they took my $40. I trusted they would give me back change and instead they went to explain how it all added up.. I trusted it again. Upon realizing the price of chicken flautas again to myself, I noticed the total was off after giving away my $40. I feel like I was used. If the menu is not updated, update the menu. This is seriously disappointing to see dishonesty coming from my own people, our culture revolves around honor, not this.

Sometimes the best food can be found in dives in what can be pretty dicey places. Vargas is among…read morethem. My son loves this place and he frequented Vargas with band mates when they rehearsed nearby a few years ago. Since my son raved about the place I've been wanting to check it out. So, we went yesterday. We each ordered a chicken Gordita, I ordered a chicken chimichanga and my son ordered the (I think) chicken and egg chilaquile. The Gordita's contained diced chicken, tomato's, lettuce and crema fresca between two fried tortillas. The chimichanga was loaded with chicken, rice and veggies. It was huge and delicious! How do I describe my son's enormous dish? A loaded plate of tortillas, sauce, onions, hot peppers, chicken, etc etc etc. topped with TWO fried eggs! I sampled it and was mighty impressed. I even enjoyed Jarrito's pop for the first time. Tasty and made with cane sugar. I believe not too many gringo's like my son and I frequent Vargas. But they should despite the simple dive interior and us not speaking much Spanish. We're already talking about coming back for authentic Mexican cuisine! You order at the counter and they deliver to the table. Four stars only for length of time it took between order and delivery.

We got margaritas: strawberry and house both on the rocks. They were great! My husband ordered a chimichanga and I have a trio of tacos. The kids had sliders and chicken nuggets. The nuggets were their favorite. They both ordered applesauce but the restaurant doesn't have spoons yet and they were out of plastic spoons. No biggie for us (we learned that forks do applesauce pretty well!) Dinner took a turn when we had a very, very large bug join us at the table. My husband killed it but it, in turn, killed our appetite. My kids who spotted it first, begged to leave, but we told them we should finish dinner. They then found another much smaller bug and at that point refused to sit down because they were convinced they were feeling bugs crawling on them (they weren't, but I also couldn't blame them). We had mostly finished so we headed out quickly. We got home and unfortunately the cherry on top of the experience: both got sick (we didn't eat lunch after a busy kids sports day), so it was obvious this was the source. His dish had chicken and steak and I had a chicken and a steak taco, so not sure exactly the overlap. We were super disappointed we have fond memories of Banditos in Baltimore from when we lived downtown. Would like to add the manager and server both were extremely attentive, apologetic and insistent that they discount our meal. We were appreciative they took the incident seriously and trust they'll resolve it.

My dining buddy and I rolled up about 30 minutes prior to closing, and realized that there was literally no parking near the restaurant. With that going on, our assumption was that the place must've been packed! It wasn't. The waitstaff guy and the cook made a total of four that entire night. Service was fine, as the guy didn't have much else going on so he was fully attentive. The food, however, is the purpose of this review. I believe that we both got the enchiladas verdes. Decent enough, but not earth shattering. The corn tortillas were unusually soft because of the soupy verde sauce, so they broke apart. The chicken itself was flavorful enough. The beans were fine. Not sure that this would be a repeat visit for me.

I went into the restaurant instead of ordering online so that I could ask specific questions. One of my favorite Mexican breakfast entrees, chilaquilas was on the menu and the other restaurants I looked at didn't have it so I was definitely going to order with La Cabana. I went in to my order and it already came with either beef like it should, so I chose chicken with the verde sauce, the icky way to order it lol The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the huge white onions on top where red sound be. The avocado helped cool it down from the spice. My egg was fried correctly and the verde sauce was delectable. I would come back to reorder although the huge onions were an eye sore. They also have an outdoor seating area that looks prefect for chilling and hanging out

It's a rough start but, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, after having the Sandwich Cubano, this food is definitely worth it. The sandwich was amazing, as I had to finish it the next day. The broccoli and tea was, eh, okay. The chips were great (and complimentary). Brief history: Papa's Texmex is owned by a guy who had a Hispanic restaurant in Brooklyn which was awarded Best Of Baltimore a few times, he closed there before opening this where it appears he kept half of the Smokehouse menu. It was very clean, it felt like it was remodeled a bit (as it obviously was). My waitress and hostess was super-friendly. Being picky, would be 4.5 for those side dishes. It was dead inside customer-wise, however, I'd give credit to bad reviews for that one. Don't listen to bad reviews. Give it one shot at least and see what YOU think
