There were other taquerias in this building before but this is my first time going to the Papa Nacho's Taqueria. Lobby and tables were clean, so atmosphere was good. The service was good! He was really nice and also offered me the hotter sauce which I really appreciated! I got the nachos there. I don't really like to leave a yelp without a full meal, so I have to go back and try their tacos. But with the nachos, by the time I got home they were already soggy. I highly suggest the harder tortilla chips next time bro! I gotchu with the improvement aspect, so I hope you pick this up :) it would be way better than the thin chips. I'll definitely be back, but let me know when you get the harder chips and I'll be back every week :)

Taco Sampling
D.wight L.

This was a taqueria before but I think it was too tame/Americanized for me back then. This took over and it is now more of a true taqueria. The smell of different taco meats on that hot plancha is actually quite thick in there, small space maybe 10 or so seats. I go to the Grocery Outlet next door often, so I've been trying their tacos as of late. Here are some notes. Tacos are the tiny street tacos 3-4 biters. Tacos start at about $3.25 and can go up a buck or two, depending on meat upgrades like lengua or up your taco to a 'super taco' with cheese/avo. The tortillas are the super yellow ones and heat them up pretty good, but sometimes you'll get some with more oil, so it has a more fried texture. I like it better like that, instead of just a dry warming. Toppings are only cilantro and onions, no salsa on top. Any salsa will be on the side in a ramekin. Carne Asada (4*) Pretty good but ya gotta like it crisp and well browned. It is actually so crisp that it can get a bit dry. But I do like the flavor as this is seasoned nicely, and I do swoon for well seared beef. Carnitas (3*) This was not seasoned as good as the carne asada for some reason. Kinda bland actually. Had to douse this with their salsa, which are pretty standard but good. They have a mild green and a warmer amber colored one, both super smooth and on the thinner side. Al Pastor (3.5*) This was seasoned nicely but for some reason some of the edges of the chopped pork meat were burnt. Not a deal breaker but it was quite noticeable. Maybe an off day mishap. But good 'al pastor' marinade. Lengua (4.5*) Pretty legit, quite tender but still a nice bounce. Seasoned nicely and simply. I'm gonna ask if they have any pickled jalapenos back there as this could use a nice punch. Gonna try a burrito next. They also have a bunch of shrimp dishes like a Diabla and a coctele. Those are in my wheelhouse too. Grocery Outlet outs are looking like taqueria outs as well. And I ain't mad at that.

Lengua tacos (tasted more like carne asada.)
Whitney M.

So far it's been tasty. My husband got the quesabirria with the consume and i thought it was delicious! I wanted the lengua tacos, and i felt it was not to my liking. My friend says the quesadillas are really good. And if you love spicy sauces, you gotta try their orange sauce. Will definitely return to try their shrimp burrito.

Just to let you know I have been a customer for sometime now specially the one at Walnut Creek Loc and always have received an exeptional service from all your employees! Today, I came in to the Fremont Loc and everything was the same! In fact the Gentleman that took my order didnt stop smiling at every custoner he helped! So helpful jugleling from walkins and phone orders he was welcoming and gracefully gave great Service to everyone. When I was leaving I needed some ice for the road under this heat! I ask the same Gentleman and he didnt know if I was able to, he ask the other lady next to him (she was wearinh knee brace) and before he finish asking her if it was ok? She emmediately answer "NO We DONT HAVE REFILS" i said no Mrs I dont need that! I only need Ice, she must to be in pain or under the heat! I thought she was going to apoligize and give me the ICe but instead she said its right there and appount to the soda machine! I get it is self service thing but she was a bit NOT welcoming! I looked at the Nice Gentleman and said dont worry I'll get it thank you much again. Got the Ice amd walked out. Though of sharing it the experience, because I wasnt asking for refill nor free Ice, I could have paid fornit is just that she was a not in the mood for a begger! Thank you so much. P.S. Food was great like always!

I have been coming here for years since this particular location is convenient and also because…read morethey are the biggest Pinata location. Years past, we were on the quest to try all of their locations and this one won our unofficial rating scale in various areas. Food was always great, large portions, reasonable prices and above all friendly service. Then I stopped coming here....COVID, life....and here we are again. We were going to throw a surprise birthday party and we needed a central location that was able to accommodate a group our size. I went weeks prior to see if this was going to be possible since I remembered that they had a large room in the back for semi to private events. I had also used the area in the past for lunch meetings but wanted to make sure that the space was still available. I spoke with Nico and from the start the ease in organizing a surprise birthday lunch was easy. He told me the different options available in hosting a buffet style type of lunch or having guests select choices from a pre-determined menu. Once you let him know your selection of items for the select choices, he will type it up for you to have it ready for your guests. He didn't tell me that I needed to do this, but I opted in making my own menu document since I wanted to make it personalized, use color and also have the selections in English and Spanish to accommodate our guests. Their menu is so ample and they have a lot of choices and many non-meat and meat selections. I personally am partial to the Super Famoso Burrito (Wet), its my go to and the one that I almost always get when ordering. Nico was quickly available via text during the process to answer any questions. The day of the party, he was there and when I entered the restaurant with the birthday man, he knew what to do. Our invited guests were already waiting in the back room with the curtain drawn. I didn't have to tell Nico that we were there for the surprise party. Nothing was ruined. He led us to the back for us to be seated and surprised our birthday man was!! Staff was excellent, super friendly and professional, helping to serve all of our needs. Parking can get a little tricky depending on the time and day if you want to park right in front. There is plenty available but because the restaurant is in a strip shopping center, the surrounding shops are also busy too but you will find parking. Our guests that had never been to La Pinata before commented on how much they liked the food, service and the restaurant itself. I know people from our party will be coming back and I know for sure I will too! Thank you Nico and everyone else for ensuring that the surprise birthday celebration lunch was perfect!

I was scrolling through the menu and I noticed that some of the words were too small to read especially when they're clumped together. When I was trying to order, they were going a bit too fast by not just quickly telling me what to add next, but also added cheese to accumulate the total price of food when I never ordered it. Fast service could be as bad as slow service, because people could feel rushed. I got Al Pastor Bowl and it's really delicious though. I like how all the ingredients were blended together as I keep on eating it. My small issue is that, it wasn't kind of warm enough but not to the point where I have to microwave it. Honestly, I have forgotten what Al pastor is which is why I got it but again, I'll have to look up online what it is. Overall, the food is good but they should slow down a bit when taking customers' orders especially when they're new here. My other suggestion is to replace a menu where all words can be seen easily to read and to space them out.

When the food arrived, there was no sauce or salsa included on the side and after looking around the entire dining area, there wasn't a salsa bar or a single bottle to grab anywhere. Serving dry quesadillas and heavy burritos without salsa is sad. Honestly, Taco Bell tastes better and at least gives you sauce. Completely disappointing experience, and we won't be coming back.
