    Papi's Breakfast Burrito
    G C.

    Yesterday had the Papi's Breakfast Burrito. And Shared this with a friend. We both said it was a solid burrito. And I wish I didn't share with him. It was really good I wanted it all. So good next time I go I want this again.

    Horchata - don't recommend...
    Lawring W.

    Kind of disappointed in their horchata... It's too sweet for my liking and it has a powdery/floury texture to it :( I've never experienced that kind of texture in horchata before. It also wasn't filled up all the way, but at least it doesn't have ice in it. I would not recommend. I wonder how their food is though.

    Located inside the Enclave food court in Harbor Gateway/Torrance. I ordered the 3-Taco Plate + pineapple agua fresca, total damage came out to $30. I chose: *2 crunchy quesa-birria with consomé *1 grilled shrimp taco with pineapple pico & chipotle mayo The plate also came with rice, beans, and red & green salsas. The birria was crispy, crunchy, and the beef + consomé were well-seasoned. The salsas added a flavorful punch. The shrimp taco was legit too -- plump, tender shrimp, cooked well, and the pineapple pico + chipotle mayo combo was a nice tropical smoky balance. That said... it's still a food court spot, and $30 for 3 tacos + sides is a tough sell. Flavor delivered, value did not. Bottom line: Solid execution on flavor. Just not worth $30 in this setting.

    Veggie Tacos

    These Veggie Tacos made with nopales and mushrooms are quite delicious and super stuffed. I ordered 3 tacos which was more than enough for my lunch. https://yelp.to/EgiATo8BE0 It comes with a sprinkle of diced onions, chopped cilantro on top, lime wedges, and slices of radishes on the side. I also received two salsas. One salsa verde, and one spicy red one. Woo! Located in the food court area at The Enclave. I would easily order this again!

    In food court building.   Seating inside or plenty outside but can get crowded during peaks.

    I just wanted a lighter snack, so I got two ala cart tacos - one Birria & one shrimp. Both were good but didn't blow me away (4 of 5). Orange colored Hot sauce was flavorful but spiced me a bit and I only had the freebie water to cool the sting. Order buzzer lets you stroll or order food from other places.

    Ambiance: the taco place is located in the middle of the food court Service: friendly and patient, although it took a while to get the food ready, everything is packed in the to-go containers even if for dine-in here, as accordingly to the staff they don't have the trays Food: standard taco menu, and you can make any three tacos combo served with red rice and beans AL PASTOR - *** regular pork taco, meat was too dry QUESA-BIRRIA WITH CONSOMMÉ - **** crispy taco with cheese, tasty beef, recommend BATTERED FISH WITH SLAW, SALSA MACHA & AVOCADO - *** soggy fish taco Price: moderate portions and acceptable quality, expect $25 per person

    Papi's Tacos at the Enclave. 8/6/25

    New at the Enclave in Torrance! Papi's Tacos is located in the interior food court area of the Enclave next to Faka's and across from Boba Break. Decided to order their namesake tacos to go. Chose vegetarian (mushroom), carne asada, and al pastor ones. The mushrooms tacos were meh and flavors didn't quite hit like my favorite vegan tacos in Long Beach and OC. Hubby liked the al pastor and carne asada tacos but was not wowed by them. Customer service was courteous and polite. Parking at the Enclave at midweek nonpeak hours was easy. There are plenty of open spaces as well as way back in the structure. I got an open space nearby. They are only a few months or so in biz so I would return and try other items on the menu. For now it's just 3 stars.

    Loaded nachos

    On my first visit, they were sold out...sad face. My second visit was successful. I ordered the taco plate. I chose to get a veggie, carne asada and birria. All three were absolutely delicious! That birria consommé was tasty, and yes, I finished that off as well. My third visit happened because a friend suggested I try the loaded nachos. Yes, go and try the loaded nachos. These visits happened within a two weeks span. Service was great and food was delish. Atmosphere at The Enclave is always great. Go give it try.

    Food was fantastic. I recommend getting there early before they sell out of things. All and all, we'll be back. The ordering kiosk was simple to use. The staff was helpful when we needed assistance. The overall vibe of the location was a bit more of a cafeteria hang out as there are many pieces to get food in one open space.

    Chips & Guacamole

    Today we had Sunday brunch at the Enclave and I tried out Papi's Tacos. They have a variety of Mexican dishes here. We ordered a taco combo plate with three tacos, rice and beans, a chicken quesadilla, and chips and guacamole. The food was fresh and tasty. They give you a pager and it beeps when your food is ready. The staff are friendly. As with most of the food venues here, the problem is limited seating given there's over 6 different places to eat and many large families eat here. There's ample parking behind the venue. The prices and portions are good. It was a very enjoyable meal. The tacos were like authentic LA street tacos.

    The food here is absolutely delicious and remarkably fresh! I ordered the 3 variety pack featuring chicken, asada, and mushroom tacos, and it came with rice and beans. Every element was spot-on--the taste was incredible, the seasoning was perfectly balanced, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be back to try the burritos!

    When the craving hits, it's always tacos!…read more I stopped by Tacos El Goloso on PCH and ordered a mix of street tacos (carnitas and al pastor) along with the tacos dorados de birria. I've been here before, and the birria tacos were exactly what I needed for a late-night craving. Crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling and strong flavor - they really hit the spot. I ended up having four of them. The consomé on the side was really good too - rich and flavorful, almost something I could've just had on its own. The street tacos were solid. The carnitas had that tender, slightly crisp texture, and the al pastor added a bit more seasoning and contrast. Nothing overcomplicated, just straightforward and satisfying. Service was friendly, and the setup is quick and casual. In the South Bay where places tend to close early, it was nice that they were open until around 10pm. Overall, this is a no-frills taco spot where the focus is on the food. Easy choice when you're in the mood for tacos.

    I'm Mexican with family from Michoacán, so I don't say this lightly -- this place is legit. You…read morewalk in and the smell alone tells you everything. I got the birria plate (3 tacos with cheese, consomé, chips, salsas, etc.) and it was a full 10/10. Everything was balanced, flavorful, and authentic. Horchata was on point too. My girl got asada tacos -- super clean and really good. Only thing is there's no toppings bar, but they give you everything you need and the portions are dialed in. If I'm ever in the area craving Mexican food, I'm coming straight here -- no question. And they had the basketball game on, perfect. Super fast service by the way!
