    2 asada tacos
    Deveny A.

    Service was fast and nice. The tacos were bomb and the salsa was the perfect addition!!

    Birria Tacos, Carne Asada Burrito, Al Pastor Tacos, and Carne Asada burrito

    Quick tips: 1. Papa's Tacos shares its space with Michoacana, which is so coincidentally a good place for dessert 2. Pretty extensive menu spanning tacos, tortas, burritos, plates, nachos and fries. 3. Salsa and limes upon request. Service is excellent and friendly! No gatekeeping when it comes to this place which is so excellent for newbies. Fortunately, I'm well versed in Mexican food and love tacos and everything in between. Food comes out made to order and very hot! The tacos are pretty simplistic, but the food is made expertly. I appreciate the effort involved with fresh food. There was barely any line here, which made it a quick and fast stop! The carne asada was a little under seasoned but the pastor was fantastic. It had just a lovely flavor with the combination of onions and so on. The quesobirria tacos were slightly spicy, but had a nice crunch to it all. The person rolling the burrito and tacos will also add stuff if you want a bit extra of this and that. Overall a good experience!

    Good food good price and the atmosphere made me home sick for Mexico I grew up eating raspados, tacos and paletas de hielo. I'll be coming here again soon!

    Papa's Tacos is small Mexican restaurant inside of the Michoacana this a unique concept a restaurant and ice cream parlor in one building. My wife and I decided to get two carne asada plate it comes with rice and beans. We decided to take it home and also get dessert inside the Michoacana we order Mangoada to go. We arrive home then try the tacos these tacos were very good with so much flavors the carne asada and the meat was very tender we enjoy and the rice and bean were very good. Next time we need try different items.

    I wouldn't have found this place if it weren't for Yelp, and what a treat that I did! This hole In the wall has all the good stuff - lengua, birria, Al Pasteur - and they do them all equally well. Came here for a quick bite to eat before heading back up north and it was so delicious I had to get two more tacos for the road. It's located next to a dessert counter so you can easily eat your fill here in this small but open space. The lady who worked at the counter was super friendly and tried her best to communicate with me even though she didn't speak much English and my Spanish is abysmal. The food more than spoke for itself. Will definitely come back again!

    Awful meat ratio to rice and beans in the burritos.

    Good to support mom and pop spots but let's do better on the quality. Add a little more meat and the customers will be satisfied and return.

    Al pastor, carnitas, chicharon taco
    Elena C.

    Opens until late, and the perfect food for late night chow. Al pastor is the best and my favorite. Chicharon is nice and not gamey. Carnitas so-so, wished it's more crispy and less dry. Lengua is kinda gamey though. The taco dorados is perfectly crisped. Will come again to try the menudo and pozole

    Chicken tacos and Chicken Taco Dorado
    Jesse B.

    Hidden gem inside La Michoacana. I stopped by to get a snack after dropping off recycling in Monterey Park. The food is amazing and delicious. The food was prepared right in front of me by the extremely friendly cashier. I ordered two chicken tacos and one chicken taco dorado. The chicken tacos were amazing and had so much meat and flavor. Combine it with the red and green salsa and it made it even better! Next, the chicken taco dorado was so crispy and delicious. With the salsas, it made it even better. It was nice to get an actual plate verses a disposable one. I really appreciated the personalized service and asked me how I wanted the food as he making it on the grill. That was extremely thoughtful and much appreciated. There is ample seating and chairs. Their menu is not large but it is just the right size. If you are ever at La Michoacana, don't forget to stop here too. You won't be disappointed. Make sure to also get something at La Michoacana too. They have a great variety of options and treats. Highly recommended.

    Nice

With the price tag of $4 per taco, there were good amount of meat in the taco which made it very satisfying.

For for first timers, I'd recommend ordering the Villa's Trio which is what I got. Those come with the Ranchera Asada quesotaco as well as the Papas con Chorizo and Black Bean con Pollo quesotacos which are a trio exclusive. All the tacos were meaty, flavorful, and crispy. You honestly don't even need the side sauces since the tacos are already flavorful on their own. Great quality. I also got the Watermelon Agua Fresca which was refreshing, tasty, and sweet. Goes well with the tacos. I also got the Jamaica Agua Fresca, but that one was a bit too tart for my liking. The line can get long, so I would prepare to wait for up to an hour on weekends. There's ample free parking at the grocery store lot nearby. For seating and tables, it's limited and competitive. You just have to get lucky if a spot clears up as soon as you get your food. I also like how the restaurant handles crowd control. They allow a couple of people at a time to go inside, order, and get their condiments. You wait outside until they call you for your food. I like that it didn't feel crowded while I was getting my condiments. I highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back.
