    Homemade Churros
    Bianca C.

    First time coming here and unfortunately it was right after dinner but I will say the churros did not disappoint! I ordered churros, dulce de leche sauce on side, and vanilla ice cream as well. It was a great dessert and the service provided was also very good. They call your name when your order is ready over the intercom and it's self seating. We got there around 9:20pm and they close at 10 but was still very busy at the time. Can't wait to come back and update yall on how the other menu items are! No indoor seating and no music playing but they have nice lit up patio to enjoy your food in :) very clean establishment.

    Not quite the experience I was hoping for. I ordered a taco, a quesotaco and consome. I have also ordered the OG Plate (Taco, Quesataco, Mulita, Quesadilla, Consome). Everything was fine, except fot the Mulita, which I did not care for. They have two different salsas, both of which are not very spicy (no salsa bar). Over all, the food is fine, but nothing I'm craving to try again. In addition, all the seating is outside and the service is not very friendly. I have been here on two separate visits, and both times, the service was cold and indifferent. Food service is a very tough job, so I know being friendly behind a counter isn't always easy, but would it hurt you to smile once in a while? Nevertheless, my overall experience was ok.

    Birria taco was bomb. Chicken taco was smoky. Carne asada taco was chewy. I would recommend 2 birria and 1 chicken taco. That's what I would get the next time I return. Easy parking in the lot. Great experience.

    Small Consome Con Carne, drink (I forget what it's called but it had hibiscus), and a Squirt

    I am SALIVATING as I'm writing this review thinking about the food that we had. Delicious and halal! Everything was so well seasoned, delicious, and reasonably sized. The churros were also super fresh and tasty (not pictured). They have a nice outdoor seating area, there's ample chairs for a large party.

    By far the BEST tacos I've ver had nothing beats this spot ! Amazing customer service and a nice hangout spot ! I definitely will be back when I'm in town .

    OG Plate
    Kassi A.

    This was delicious. I got the OG plate with Birria, add avocado. You pretty much get to try everything and they put the consume in a little coffee cup- which is great because you'll wanna drink it. I can't figure out whether I liked the quesataco or the quesadilla better, I think I just like cheese.. the mulita was probably my least favorite, but it was still delicious. The taco on its own was delicious. The salsa was amazing, really deep and smoky, I can't wait to come back and try the OG papa.

    Highly recommend and will return! It's hard to find good halal food that's a more diverse and unique compared to the typical desi or Mediterranean food. The food was good we ordered again. I highly recommend the birria tacos with consommé.

    Really good food and a great space overall, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Prices are on the higher side but pretty standard for the area. My only complaint would be that the customer service felt a little meh.. maybe the cashier was just having an off day. Other than that, I'd definitely come back again. Oh and they don't have a large drink selection; but do have some substitutions available.

    Quesataco Birria

    Delicious!! My bf and I stopped here on our trip to SD on the way in through LA. Absolutely amazing little pop up restaurant. Excellent service very efficient, delicious food, and relaxed ambiance.

    Birria + asada tacos with consommé
    CB C.

    The Birria & Carne Asada tacos are fire! This local community taco spot is one of the best, and the servers/cooks are kind. The interior is clean and the Jamaica & Horchata are delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

    Quesataco, chicken Taco
    Annika G.

    Papi's Tacos & Churros keeps Mexican classics very simple. They have birria, chicken, and carne asada, and all of their meats were very good. They are also halal - which was perfect since I stopped by here on a trip with a friend who eats only halal meat. I personally got two quesabirria tacos and a chicken taco while my friend got one taco for each meat. The tacos themselves are loaded, however, they are a bit small and pricey for my liking. The meat was juicy, marinated well, and the birria was nice and tender. The people working behind the counter were friendly, but I did notice that one of them was not really paying attention a couple times, so I did have to kind of wait for them to notice that I was there asking for a few items. We also tried their horchata, and it was watered down to me. I think the ice might've melted into it, but it just wasn't as strong as I prefer it to be. We also tried the churros with chocolate, and they were pretty good. As far as the restaurant itself, it's definitely a vibe. There are a lot of cars going down the street, so that threw off the ambiance a bit, but I'm sure this spot is best enjoyed at night. Either way, a solid spot for halal tacos.

    This is my first time ordering from this place It is very tasty ambut I only gave them 3 stars because the size of each item in the OG plate were "mini sizes", so extreme small‼ Yes, I understand they called them street size‼ Everything was very good , and by ordering the OG plate I was able to taste just about all the items they sell there: Mulitas ( meat between 2 corn tortillas) Quesataco ( meat and melted cheese on a grilled corn tortillas) Regular Quesadilla (Street Size|beef with cheese melted in our grilled flour tortilla.) Taco ( meat and melted cheese on a grilled corn tortilla) And a small consume ( taco dip) I also ordered a side of Mexican rice By the way I noticed that they have more than one location My order came from the Hollywood location on Vine Street Yummyluscious

    OG Plate
    Amanjot K.

    Absolutely delicious and a fav!! It's so insanely flavorful, juicy and tender. These are some real birria tacos and hit the spot. The service was great and our food came out fairly quick. It's a chill and casual spot so you can just drop by or get a to go order. The OG plate is a bang for your buck & is so filling. The consume is so flavorful and the meat is cooked to perfection.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat.

I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

Everything tasted really fresh, bright, and limey which worked perfectly with the tacos.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks.
