An establishment for a reason!…read more I will never turn down tacos and firmly believe that they're hard to get wrong. I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

The parking lot is small, and there's no sauce stand--which is probably my only downside. Because of the holiday, the wait was about 30 minutes for four tacos, which was a bit longer than I would've liked. That said, it was worth it. Taqueria Los Primos has always been my go-to spot and, up until now, the best tacos I've had in Maryland--but Los Perez takes the top spot for me. I was a little thrown off seeing the hot sauce come in a plastic packet, but it was actually super fire. I'd come back here all the time. This place could easily hold its own against some of the best Mexican spots in Los Angeles. Highly, highly recommend if you haven't been yet.

To begin, I ordered the 8oz guacamole with freshly made crispy tortilla chips. For my main course, I sampled from the single taco selection: the Birria, Smash Burger, Chorizo, and Carnitas tacos. Each taco was a masterpiece, featuring a crispy tortilla that appeared to be dipped in a savory sauce. The portions offered a perfect balance, packed with compact flavors. I MUST highlight the Loaded Fries with Steak--they arrived perfectly crispy and were generously topped with steak and a delicious secret sauce. Of course, I had to try the Flamin' Hot Elote Loco in a cup. Unlike many places where the corn lacks freshness, Big Papi's elote was unmistakably fresh and utterly delicious. For dessert, the hot, crispy churros were the perfect sweet finale. A special thank you to Jorge and Edward for their exceptional service. Their attentiveness and warmth truly elevated the experience. As a huge sauce enthusiast, I deeply appreciated the wide variety available. I LOVE IT WHEN I GO TO BIG PAPI, I ONLY LIKE IT WHEN MY TACOS COME REAL SAUCY. Thank you so much to the entire team for an excellent dining experience. I cannot wait to return!

You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

I sort of stumbled across Tacos à la Madre today and am very happy I did!…read more First, this is an order first then sit down or take out kind of place. The staff were nice and helpful, and are bilingual in English and Spanish. Ordering was straightforward and it took 15-20 min for food to come out. There are tables inside and a few picnic tables outside. The tacos were packed well and tasted delicious (ate it fresh, not sure how it would hold up as take out). I find it hard to find places with multiple well made and authentic vegetarian tacos, but this place had plenty of options! I got: Taco de Calabacín (Grilled Zucchini) - not bad, a maybe a little heavier that I would use on the black pepper Taco de Chorizo Vegano (Vegan Chorizo) - very nice Taco de Nopal (Grilled Cactus) - prob my fave All were well seasoned, and had a decent amount of tomato, onion, cilantro, and they came with lime wedges and radish slices. The taco shells are two soft corn tacos with semi crispy edges. I would come back to try their other veggie tacos (they also had mushroom and cauliflower). I also tried the Elote Callejero (Street Corn) in a cup which has cheese and tajin. Creamy! Better fresh than when I tried it later at home. It was good but for me the tacos are really what shined here. Giving 4.5/5 stars. Very good.

The menu is pretty straight forward from tacos, burritos and the like with various proteins. We tried chipotle chicken, crab cake, shrimp, and beef. I believe we got a 15 pack which only allows the option to get up to three proteins (five of each). I enjoyed all the tacos! They were super fresh and all of the meats were seasoned to perfection. The salsa that came with it was just the right spice and added to the flavors. I think my favorite were the shrimp and chicken. My family loved it so much that we went back the next day and got another 15! Please double check your orders before leaving as we were short a taco, it's kind of a bummer, to miss out.
