These tacos are soo good and fresh!!! I lived in Los Angeles for 6 years (where food truck tacos are common and delicious), and this experience totally compares. I ordered beef tacos, and the chef asked if I wanted to try a pork taco for free to see if I liked it. First of all, so nice. Second of all, I'm getting the pork tacos more often now! A few notes to know before you go:- They only have tacos (no sides like beans, rice, chips, etc)- They only take cash! (there's an ATM across the street if needed)

I just moved from California and stumbled upon this hidden gem. The staff in the truck was Uber friendly and so welcoming. I instantly felt like I was part of their family. The tacos were delicious and the Al Pastor (that came with a bit of pineapple) was outstanding. If you're in the mood for some authentic Mexican food, this is the spot

I've been coming here for years and I'll always stay loyal. They're so authentic, flavorful, the tortillas are always fresh never stale or old you can taste it, the Fresca are always fresh. The owner is ALWAYS nice and welcoming to everyone. I see complaints about the Cash $$ only, but I think that's the beauty of the experience and authenticity/culture. Sometimes it's better not to change things. Theres a restaurant that should be opening soon!

The best tacos in the area! Hands down. This little truck off of Columbia Pike is a hidden, but not-so-secret treasure. I came here with several friends close to closing and unfortunately, they were out of tortillas, lengua, and cabeza. They said some more tortillas would be coming if we were willing to wait an extra 10 mins. No worries because we'd been looking forward to this all day. The workers were super kind and accommodating with our orders and even ended up staying passed their posted hours. It's a place with many local, regulars with whom the workers know all their names. Some even stick around to hang out. Our food came out a little while later and we made the trek home to eat them. Everything was fresh and tasty. We ordered a little bit of everything still available-- asada, chorizo, al pastor, pollo, and the mixto. It came with salsa verde and one spicy, as well as the pickled onions, cucumbers, and limes. We topped itboff with Grapefruit Jarritos (only flavor left). My faves were the mixto and the chorizo! Although, next time I definitely need to get the cabeza and the lengua. I will be back veryyy soon and will ensure I go earlier in the day. SO GOOD!

Everyone has their own taste in tacos. I get it! And I do have an appreciation for all types of tacos. But these tacos from Pa Tacos El Papi definitely scream "authentic!" I actually was never a fan of al pastor tacos but I really do love the way they make them here. I haven't tried the lengua tacos just yet, so until then I will say that the al pastor tacos are my favorite from this spot.If you head over, keep in mind that this is a food truck and parking isn't the easiest to find. I do promise you that the headache or parking will be worth it. Definitely check it out!

Same great taste ... in the same horrible place. Again, the food is so freaking good. The location of the truck, however, is trash. This food truck is located on a real slim street with very limited parking. I didn't mind it so much when they would accept my call in order and I'd just pick it up, but calling to place an order is hit or miss. They could be working on the truck but if it gets too busy or close to closing time, they do not answer. Not only is it a hassle to get to the food truck if you aren't in walking distance, but their accepted method of payment could use improvements. It is 2021, why are they only accepting cash? For about a month they were also accepting Venmo or card, but they recently went back to cash only and posted their 'cash only' sign again. Talk about pissed when I got to the truck and realized there was a change again, and I didn't have cash. All in all, good food and great people, but there's always room for improvement.

$2.50 a taco? Sign me up.I travel to the West Coast a lot and am used to $1 street tacos, $2 street tacos... so this is the closest I'll get to that affordability while also having a satisfying meal. Not only does Pa' Taco hit the spot, the owner is really kind and makes sure you are taken care of. We love the Al Pastor, Mixto, and Lengua tacos.Tired of paying $4 for a lame taco? Head to Pa' Tacos El Papi!

Food and Service are top notch. I would say this truck is on par if not better than Tortas Y Tacos La Chaquita! Only draw back is the location can be a pain with parking and logistics can be a nightmare if you need to wait for more than a few minutes. Otherwise the tacos are great, the people are nice, and the truck is clean and nicely decorated. A regular favorite in our take out repertoire! CASH ONLY!

This place is absolutely . My first time trying it as I was close by and it did not disappoint. The only thing better than the tacos was the customer service. It's rare to see businesses go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied. 10/10
