My dining buddy and I rolled up about 30 minutes prior to closing, and realized that there was literally no parking near the restaurant. With that going on, our assumption was that the place must've been packed! It wasn't. The waitstaff guy and the cook made a total of four that entire night. Service was fine, as the guy didn't have much else going on so he was fully attentive. The food, however, is the purpose of this review. I believe that we both got the enchiladas verdes. Decent enough, but not earth shattering. The corn tortillas were unusually soft because of the soupy verde sauce, so they broke apart. The chicken itself was flavorful enough. The beans were fine. Not sure that this would be a repeat visit for me.

This last time, I tried their birria for the first time, which is my go to the last couple of years when eating Mexican, and was genuinely shocked by how bad it was. The meat, while tender, was flavorless, as was the broth and the cheese used for the quesabirria was American. I took two more tentative bites after the first one because I thought, there is no way they're using American cheese. No, they definitely are. I ended up calling because I was disappointed that I didn't have anything to eat for lunch (it was that bad, which is remarkable when you're talking about tacos), and the staff confirmed, with no irony, that they use white American and further, that they use it on all their dishes. Crazy. I'd also ordered lunch for the staff of a local business who had been really kind to me recently, so I can only hope their food wasn't anything like mine. I probably won't try them again, but hoping their sister restaurant, La Tolteca hasn't similarly declined.

I stopped here for lunch after work this week. I ordered inside the restaurant when I got there,…read moreand was pleasantly surprised that the wait didn't take as long as I thought it would. They have seating, so you do have the option to eat inside. I noticed they have a board on the wall with specials that I don't think are included on their online menu. I would go inside to order if you can just to check those out. I'm not sure how frequently it might change. We got a small complimentary bag of tortilla chips and three sauces - a mild red salsa, salsa verde, and what seemed to be a spicy sour cream. I never figured out exactly what that last one was. I ordered the al pastor tacos and a steak quesadilla. If a restaurant has al pastor tacos, I'm basically guaranteed to get them, and I have come to realize each place does them a little differently. I was a little unimpressed with these only because the meat was so dry. The pineapple wasn't very juicy either, so that didn't help much. Between adding some of the salsas for some moisture and the amount of onion/cilantro, I really felt like I just lost the flavor of the taco itself. The steak quesadilla wasn't overwhelmingly good or bad. The only comment I have is that it could've used more steak! Based on this experience alone I'd give three stars, but I've had their food a few times before and consistently enjoyed it, so I'm giving them four. Hoping this visit was a one-off thing and they can redeem themselves next time.

After Papa's Smokehouse closed, new management opened up again with a Hispanic flavor. Ever since,…read moreI have heard from a few people that they have gotten mixed reviews. It's a rough start but, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, after having the Sandwich Cubano, this food is definitely worth it. The sandwich was amazing, as I had to finish it the next day. The broccoli and tea was, eh, okay. The chips were great (and complimentary). Brief history: Papa's Texmex is owned by a guy who had a Hispanic restaurant in Brooklyn which was awarded Best Of Baltimore a few times, he closed there before opening this where it appears he kept half of the Smokehouse menu. It was very clean, it felt like it was remodeled a bit (as it obviously was). My waitress and hostess was super-friendly. Being picky, would be 4.5 for those side dishes. It was dead inside customer-wise, however, I'd give credit to bad reviews for that one. Don't listen to bad reviews. Give it one shot at least and see what YOU think

The meat was flavorful, well seasoned, and served with onions, cilantro, radishes, and lime. The red salsa packet deserves a special mention. It had a great smoky flavor with a spicy kick that I enjoyed. The service was excellent. The staff checked on us several times and made sure we were okay. The restaurant itself feels very authentic, with Mexican snacks, desserts, and beverages available. My only suggestion would be to provide wet wipes at the tables because the tacos can get pretty messy (which is usually a good sign when it comes to great tacos!). Overall, this is easily one of the top taco spots I've visited in Baltimore. Great food, friendly service, authentic atmosphere, and reasonable prices.

I went into the restaurant instead of ordering online so that I could ask specific questions. One of my favorite Mexican breakfast entrees, chilaquilas was on the menu and the other restaurants I looked at didn't have it so I was definitely going to order with La Cabana. I went in to my order and it already came with either beef like it should, so I chose chicken with the verde sauce, the icky way to order it lol The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the huge white onions on top where red sound be. The avocado helped cool it down from the spice. My egg was fried correctly and the verde sauce was delectable. I would come back to reorder although the huge onions were an eye sore.
