La Famosa Taquizas

We were in the area and craving some tacos…read more Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by how great our experience was. We ordered the O.G. Burrito with carne asada ($13.99) and the O.G. Plate with beef birria ($18.99). While the food took a little while to come out, it was absolutely worth the wait. The O.G. Burrito was generously filled with cheese, rice, beans, and tender carne asada, all wrapped in a perfectly toasted tortilla. The meat had a wonderful smoky flavor, and the burrito itself was huge, making it a filling and satisfying meal for the price. The highlight for me was the O.G. Plate, which came with a taco, quesataco, mulita, and quesadilla. Everything was loaded with meat and toppings, served piping hot, and cooked to crispy perfection. Every single item on the plate was delicious! I also loved that both entrées came with pickled radishes, red and green salsa, and plenty of lime wedges. The service was excellent as well. The staff was attentive and quick to accommodate anything we needed. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. While indoor seating is limited, there is ample outdoor seating. Overall, Papis Tacos and Churros was an unexpected gem that delivered on great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I've been thinking about this meal ever since, and I can't wait to come back!

Papi Tacos & Churros is an absolute must-visit if you're craving bold, authentic flavors and…read moreseriously satisfying comfort food. From the moment you arrive, the vibe is lively and welcoming--perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a full meal. Let's talk about the star of the show: the birria tacos... these are straight fire . The tortillas are perfectly crisped on the outside, soaked in rich, flavorful consommé, and packed with tender, juicy meat that's seasoned to perfection. Every bite is loaded with savory goodness, and dipping them into that deep, flavorful broth just takes it to another level. Easily some of the best birria tacos around. And you cannot leave without trying the churros. Fresh, warm, and coated in just the right amount of cinnamon sugar, they're the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how churros should be. Overall, Papi Tacos & Churros delivers on flavor, quality, and experience. Whether you're going for the hype or just looking for legit, delicious food, this spot does not disappoint. Definitely coming back for more!

My bf got a half/half wet burrito which they DONT make, so don't even bother asking for it because we asked if they do that and they said no. However, when they brought it out to us, they did accommodate us. That was a kind gesture. So A+ for that. As my bf said, we got "Yelpfished". We were born and raised in SOUTHEAST LA, where there are taquerias EVERYWHERE. I know a thing or two about authentic , Mexican, real good CARNE ASADA tacos. Unfortunately, this establishment did not meet my expectations. The meat was not carne asada meat. It was like flat milanesa meat. It lacked a little bit of flavor as well. Overall, I would not return and I can't believe the number of people that like this spot. Well, maybe just their carne asada sucks.

To top it off, the employees putting the food together were extremely rude. No customer service, no effort to help, just attitude. We spent $77 for three people, and this was easily one of the worst $77 I've spent. For that kind of money, I expect clean trays, a clean environment, decent food, and at least basic customer service. Last time coming here. You lost my business.

Quick trip to Bellflower and were there i was lucky because there were only a few people there when we arrived, but once I stepped in line I swear 20 people showed up LOL!!! The wife wanted the Taquitos Loaded with a Large Pepino Aguafresca, I ordered the hardshell taco plate and Large Jamica the taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans.

We were coming back from DTLA after a morning errands and the restaurant is conveniently located off the 5 in Santa Fe Springs. Upon arrival, we could already smelled the delicious aromas of pescado dorado, though we weren't looking to get deep fried seafood, but the smell was so appetizing. Pescado Dorado is a family owned business and Victor was such a wonderful and attentive in taking our orders and helping us! We ordered a variety of items, grilled fish taco, mixed seafood ceviche, and the dual grilled protein plates with mahi mahi and beef. We also had the seafood soup that they offered on the menu and I was most excited about this! The flavor was rich and with a bit of lime, it was perfect! The grilled fish taco was probably the best highlight for me! Full chunks of perfectly just right grilled white fish, grilled peppers and pico de gallo in corn tortilla. It was soooo good and full of flavor. The seafood mixed ceviche was also rich and full of sabroso and you really don't need to add any salsa or hot sauce at all! The grilled protein plate was also very good though I did like the mahi a lot better than the beef. Overall, one thing this place offers is that all their food are packed with tons of flavor and the best is their seafood! Service was awesome and the restaurant is super clean and so tropically decorated! They had quite a few recognitions over the years and I hope they continue to receive lots of customers who can come to appreciate what they have to offer! Highly recommend!

It's located inside of R&G Food Basket, run by two hard working ladies. We arrived at the end of the day so the offerings look a little on the skimpy side. All that mattered to me was the pozole. It was served with a side of warm corn tortillas. The brith is rich & flavorful, a tad bit on the salty side so we asked for a cup of hot water to mitigate that. It was perfect! The meat was so tender & juicy, had the tortilla dipped in the broth, I was a happy camper. Hubby's ribs combo plate had Spanish rice & refried beans. The ribs were just as tender & tasty. There were 3 small tables to enjoy your meal. The AC wasn't working as well as it should & the market is blasting Spanish songs on the speakers. I enjoyed my pozole, my belly is happy
