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

    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.

    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.

    Consome
    Eric H.

    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.

    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.

    Birria + asada tacos with consommé

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Quesataco, chicken Taco

    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

    Papi Tacos & Churros is pure Instagram hype. I tried it because of all the influencer posts, and honestly... it's not worth it. The prices are ridiculous, the staff is unfriendly, and the food was greasy and bland. Nothing tasted special, and everything felt rushed and careless. It's hard not to think the place is riding on social media clout rather than actual quality. Most of these influencers are straight-up pretending. This isn't some must-try taco spot--it's mediocre at best. I've had better street tacos for a fraction of the price. One and done. Not worth the hype.

    What a find! Leaving the Palladium and craving tacos and found this place in walking distance from the venue. We ordered the asada and birria tacos with consommé. Everything was delicious but the birria was exceptional. They have ample seating outside and even parking. Glad we stumbled across this place and we will definitely be back. Service was pretty quick.

I got the Billa platter with chicken, asada, chorizo, & the weekend special barbacoa. They were all great and it was probably too much food for me with all the cheese, meat, and guac. My favorite was definitely the pollo, the flavor was amazing and was one of ghe best chicken tacos I've ever had. The chorizo was also good, as it had the potatoes mixed in. The steak was solid, but it tasted too similar to the chorizo to me so it was hard for me to differentiate. The barbacoa was good but I wish the meat was a little more tender. Overall, I was not disappointed and will definitely be back for the chicken queso tacos!

Their salsas are really good and so is their agua frescas. Ordering in the store is small, so the ambiance is well kept and clean but space is limited. They do have a good organized system though, so they make it work.

I've been meaning to try the other items on their menu, but it was so good the first time that I had to order it again. The portions are *very* generous, and they had the usual sides readily available on the side: lemons, cucumbers, sliced radish, grilled onions and peppers, etc. Also had a bite of their corn quesadilla... the tortilla was soooo good. They had the masa on the side and were making the tortillas fresh and by hand. Yum. Payment: - They take Apple pay! :) Parking: - We found street parking nearby thankfully, but it might be hard to find in general due to the area. Seating: - They have seating to the left of their grill (tables, folding chairs, a tarp overhead). Depending on the time of day, sometimes the shade doesn't quite cover your face--the sun was setting and hitting us right in the eyes, so we switched sides to sit facing away from the sun once those seats were available.

Having been to so many taco stands, I think what makes Tire Shop Taqueria really stand out are the right-off-the-grill charcoal-grilled meats, the freshly made tortillas literally in front of you as you are waiting on line, and the free guacamole that comes with each taco. The ordering process is like any other taco stand, though one difference is here the salsas/guacamole are all handled by the staff. If you'd like more of something, just ask them instead of reaching for the ladle yourself. There is a separate area though for grilled onions/peppers and radishes you can serve yourself. I got the asada, chorizo, cabeza, and al pastor, and they were all so good. The asada and chorizo are specifically grilled over charcoal, and that flavor really shines through. I loved how meaty and tender the cabeza was too, and the classic al pastor hit the spot. They have large communal tables setup, so it is a great friendly vibe to enjoy your meal I will say, the surrounding area is not the best in LA, especially given how the taco stand is only open at night. The parking lot is quite small, so I parked on a side street that had some abandoned cars, but of course, if you are in/from LA, this is not that new for us. I would hesitate if I am a tourist though to make it out here. Anyhow, the food really is worth it here, and I can't wait to be back!

We found easy street parking in the neighborhood on 41st Street, and waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the asada tacos. They pre-sauce your tacos, which was fine by me, but my boyfriend who can't handle as much spice would've preferred it on the side (so warning for anyone similar! they do put a little habanero on them, so just ask them for salsa on the side). I think I ran into a problem of reading too many raving reviews -- these tacos were good but I was expecting them to be mind blowing, so I was a little disappointed. I tasted the charcoal char, but kind of wished the taste was more pronounced, or at least the meat more seasoned. The hand made tortillas were definitely the coolest part, but I thought they were a little dry too. The ladies whipping those out are artists though. Actually, all the workers here have the assembly line down to the tea, and they definitely add a little flare for a show. I particularly liked how they had a lot of seating at this location, instead of just a couple stools lying around like most taco trucks. It felt more like outdoor patio seating than a normal taco stand. They could probably take more time to wipe down tables more often though. Overall would visit again if in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for the tacos here.

We ordered just a couple tacos - one asada and one tripa, based on reading numerous recommendations that those are what to get here. $3.50 a taco which is not bad for a restaurant taco. It's a cool casual vibe here. Seating inside as well as the patio. They have tasty looking horchata and other agua frescas. Colorful walls. They bring your food out to you by calling your name. The tacos were loaded with a pretty decent amount of meat and toppings. But sadly we were far from impressed by the flavor. The asada was okay and better than the tripa, but it paled in comparison to our go-to taco trucks in the area which only costs $1. And the tripa was strange to eat in taco form. The tripa is crunchy small pieces so it just feels odd to eat in a taco. Maybe if it was just served as an appetizer to eat by itself, but even then, it kinda just feels like you're eating pellets. Don't see the hype unfortunately.
