The pulled chicken in the enchilada also had a nice texture, but everything else was pretty bland. I'm sure they're meeting what the customer base in a small Indiana town likes. I was adding salt, not just hot sauce, to my beans, rice, and enchilada. The pork in the taco was just ok, with ordinary seasoning. Amazingly low prices and quick, polite service. We would come back and get more lengua!

I have to share just how special our takeout experience from Papi Chulo's was! We decided to grab…read moresome food to go, and even though we weren't dining in, we felt the warmth and care that makes this place so special. We absolutely loved their queso--honestly, it's a must-have. The carne asada fries were delicious, and the Thursday quesadilla special was such a great deal at just $8. Everything tasted incredible, even after the drive home. But the real heart of our experience was David. Even though we just picked up our order, this "wee little man" (as we affectionately called him) poured so much heart into making our food and just brightened our day. His kindness and the care he showed made us feel like we were truly part of the Papi Chulo's family, even just picking up takeout. We can't recommend them enough--amazing food, heartwarming service, and the kind of personal touch that makes you want to come back again and again.

Taco Tuesday will never be the same for these Chicago guys who love good tacos and Lucha Libre…read more Life is God. Family. Tacos. Lucha Libre. Santo Tacos is the new temple of tacos. We drove a long way to get there and we were - initially - put off by the appearance. It kind of looks like a strip mall fast food joint appropriating the Lucha Libre legend El Santo. We walked in - not expecting much and walked out full of great food and great company. This is a must visit for Lucha fans and taco lovers. My last Birria taco was in Puerto Rico at a little hole in the wall that made their name on Birria tacos. I decided to see if this little joint in Valparaiso could compete. I warned Chantal (our server and occasional photographer) that I had high hopes for the Birria. She was unfazed. She knew. She was confident. We started with a nacho plate with salsa and guacamole and warm cheese sauce. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We stuffed out faces as we marveled at the décor. We discussed who was who in which poster and which masks were in our personal collections. When Chantal brought the three tacos to the table, it was clear to see they were of the highest quality, perhaps even better than Puerto Rico. The spices were blended perfectly. The meat was moist and the tortilla was soft where it needed to be and crunchy where it was supposed to be. Fresh food always elevates the dining experience. This food was all fresh and well prepared. I have been having bad luck with smoked jalapenos lately so I only ate half of it. It was also quite good, but I know the danger that lurks in a smoked jalapeno. My buddy got a burrito - it was a monster. He and I have eaten many Mexican dinners before or after a Lucha Libre show. He tends to eat with moderation. Not this time, he destroyed that burrito talking between bites about how good it was. We had Chantal take some pictures around the restaurant at various spots. We're two corny old guys having fun with our hobbies (tacos and Lucha Libre). She was very patient and accommodating - doing everything in her power to get the best pictures she could for us. When the service is five star and the food is five star - the only problem is the distance. We will be back - of course - but sadly not every Tuesday as we'd like.

In terms of ambiance, the staff was cleaning and the TVs were old (poor quality) and had nothing of interest on. I ordered the poyo taco (loved) and the alambre (hated - the steak was so chewy.

It may be worth going back and ordering something different, but you can also get a taco just about anywhere.

I hadn't planned to eat that whole thing, the Lunch Carnitas, but it was so good, did anyway. My plate more attractive than hubby's, but the food was excellent. We saw flan on the dessert menu and couldn't pass that up-- and so glad we didn't! The BEST flan (smooth creamy custard goodness) and large enough helping that it worked for both of us, surrounded by a delicious hard sauce. Busy but happy, friendly service, and music as background, not so loud we couldn't talk (but of course, we were very busy eating!). Price reasonable for the food and we'll be back.

Yuck. The steak tacos were terrible-no flavor at all. The chicken quesadilla was supposed to be…read morejust chicken and cheese, but it came with peppers and onions. We sent it back, and a minute later they returned the same quesadilla with the peppers picked off only the top half. On top of that, most of the food was cold. Honestly, it probably would've been warmer sitting in a cabinet. The server also wasn't very helpful. We asked several times for more chips and salsa and didn't get any until we asked a different server. You'd honestly be better off going to a fast-food restaurant. We spent way too much money for a really shitty meal.

The servers were on top of everything and our server in particular never let a cup get empty and whenever my husband needed another beer, she was right on top of us. She was excellent. My husband had the chicken enchiladas and rice. I kept stealing his rice because it was so good. I am craving it today as a matter of fact. I had the nachos from the appetizer menu and it was gigantic and delicious. They give you sweet potato flautas, instead of chips and salsa when you sit down and they were delicious as well. We went in October so the outside was closed because it was a bit too cold to sit outside. But in the summer, they have music outside and dancing. We will definitely be going back.
