Homemade Churros
Bianca C.

First time coming here and unfortunately it was right after dinner but I will say the churros did not disappoint! I ordered churros, dulce de leche sauce on side, and vanilla ice cream as well. It was a great dessert and the service provided was also very good. They call your name when your order is ready over the intercom and it's self seating. We got there around 9:20pm and they close at 10 but was still very busy at the time. Can't wait to come back and update yall on how the other menu items are! No indoor seating and no music playing but they have nice lit up patio to enjoy your food in :) very clean establishment.

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.

Outside

Living five mins from this place is honestly a little dangerous. Pretty sure this is the best birria I've had in LA, and the fact that it's basically around the corner from me means self control is constantly being tested. I've been here a few times now and it has never missed. The OG burrito with birria is massive and easily shareable between two people, though you might be tempted to keep it all to yourself. The OG plate is also an awesome deal. You get a taco, quesataco, mulita, and quesadilla, and they're very generous with the meat which I always appreciate. Everything is so flavorful, juicy, and the consumè is one of the best. The staff here are super friendly and service is always great. Safe to say this spot has officially become a regular stop for me... for better or worse.

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.

Monera P.

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.

Inside
Kristine K.

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.

Quesataco Birria

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
Annika G.

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.

Regine S.

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

Birria + asada tacos with consommé
CB C.

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.

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the flavorful birria tacos, fresh churros, and casual outdoor seating.

Plus, it's honestly one of the best spots in town for people-watching while you eat. Let's talk favorites. My absolute must-order is their al pastor burrito with everything. It comes loaded with tons of smoking hot, perfectly seasoned al pastor meat, melted cheese, and incredible flavor. To top it off, they have a solid lineup of tasty salsas and spicy condiments to customize every bite just how you like it. Whether you're wrapping up a late night out or looking for the perfect spot to celebrate after a Dodgers game, Ave 26 has got you covered. Get out there after the win and grab a burrito -- you'll thank me later.

There's no indoor seating, so either grab some extra napkins and eat in your car or keep an eye on the outdoor tables and hope someone leaves so you can grab a seat. Regardless, these tacos are SO worth it. Every single taco has its own distinct flavor, and I've tried pretty much everything on the menu without being disappointed once. The blue corn tortillas are soft but sturdy enough to hold all the toppings without falling apart, and they absolutely do not skimp on the fillings. The tacos are packed with meat and guac, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Don't forget to stop by the salsa station and grab some salsa, because they're all good! Their aguas are also so bomb, and they come in quart containers, which is another reason you get so much for your money. Seriously, wait in that line. I promise you'll be so happy with your tacos, and you'll understand why Bad Bunny featured Villa's Tacos in his halftime show.

Although I feel like the chorizo was a bit too minced? I wish it was chunkier. It was still very flavorful as a taco itself. The carne asada I actually liked better! The carne asada was soft and chewy, also great amounts of flavor. I enjoyed how generous they were with the gauc on each taco. These are definitely on the pricier side of tacos. Good quality for the price! We also got to try the flan and it was also pretty good! Very soft and caramel-like. Flan-tastic.

I came here for dinner on a week night and my experience here was pretty good. I had the asada and al pastor tacos with all the toppings and they were both so good and full of meat and heat. The toppings can be spicy for some, so be warned. My favorite of the two was the all pastor which was flavorful and I did like the thinly shaved meat. It was not dry at all and was fresh. I also tried the mulita with al pastor meat and that was also soso good. Cheesy, meaty, and indulgent. The additional topping section had good variety with pickled onions, cucumbers, etc. and everything seemed pretty fresh. Unfortunately, they were pretty much out of the roasted pepper and grilled onions at the time I went. To drink, I had the horchata and that was also very delicious. It was huge, sweet, and creamy. I also loved how it was not grainy at all. A good pairing with the rich foods. They also have a good amount of seating at the stand with a long table and multiple chairs. Parking is tricky since its street parking only.

I love the Cabeza tortilla and 3 is the perfect number of tacos for me as they are pretty generous with the meat and avocado sauce. Been here twice and both times because we were going to a show at the Forum which is just a short drive away. It gets pretty busy around dinner time so expect a long wait as the line moves pretty slowly (everything is made/ cooked fresh!)... but the wait is 100% worth it. Just make sure you order enough the first time so you dont have to wait in line again. There is some parking but it gets pretty crowded too so you might have to street park (and the area around can get a little sketch) so be careful. The second time we came here was almost 1130pm right before their midnight closing. This time, the parking lot was emptier so we managed to park inside.

I do like how they grill their meat though and they use the tortillas to scoop up the meat on the grill. Thought the al pastor was a bit salty and the cheese did not add much flavor to it, but that's probably a good thing considering the saltiness of the meat. Also, make sure you ask them for pineapples since they did not include it until we asked. They do have them sliced up in a container by the meats. Ambience is very casual and it's a stand while eating type of situation. Service was quick.

I arrived right before they opened and there were 6 customers already waiting outside, the food has always been outstanding and I think the pricing is also great though I firmly believe you get A LOT OF QUALITY for what you pay. That mesquite smoke is insane and you can smell and taste it in their food. Their most simple item I've tried, bean and cheese burrito, is so amazing! I mean, how can something so simple make me say "OH WOW" every single time? Must be the flavor added by the lard they use in their flour tortillas. I also reheated two of these burritos next day, they were still tasty! Their burrito 2.0 is hands down the best burrito I have ever ever had: simple, their asada is amazing, they season their beans and the guacamole is great! Their salsa is super tasty though I always struggle to eat it because it is super spicy (I'm not used to eating a lot of spicy food, so for those of you who do, you may love it!). We've ordered family meals which are great, they give you a lot of sides, its very generous. Their Agua Fresca Jamaica is THE BEST! I dream about it, yummytart deliciousness.

You can tell that it's house made and I liked the chewy texture of it. However, respectfully the filling felt and tasted like bean goo. I could only really taste the refried bean flavor which was strong. It kind of meshed all the components together into a gooey filling. I got this with asada meat and the meat was kind of chewy and not so flavorful on its own. Props to the tortilla though for not spilling everything out and holding it together well, but still a bit difficult to eat. I would ask for utensils when eating this dish. The green onion garnish was unique. I wish they gave more lime wedges because that helped elevate the dish. For $13 this wasn't too bad, but I'd rather get a better burrito from a street vendor. This is a casual eats type of place with both indoor and outdoor seating and tables. They also serve alcohol and even frozen alcoholic drinks. They have a free parking lot in front, but it can be competitive to get a spot. Overall, my experience here was just okay and I would opt for other spots.
