    • Q:

      Is this place still open? I read a review that it is a food stand. The location brought me to the parking lot outside Belching Beaver but the place was no where to be found. Instead, there was another taco stand right outside with a different name.

      Best carne asada fries I've ever had!!!! I've had a lot of carne asada fries, but these are top tier. Every bite is extremely flavorful and incredible!

      Originally wanted the bougie baked potato, but they only do it on Fridays and Saturdays. We ordered on a Sunday. But to make up for it, they added bacon to our carne asada fries for free. That's incredible customer service to me.

      So happy this place is close to us because it will definitely be our new favorite Mexican food spot!

      Best Chicken taco downtown, the meat is chopped. Cooked fresh to order. Perfect sauces from mild to spicy

      My and boyfriend were looking for a place to grab some dinner since we had a long day. He happened to come across papasotes yelp and after reading the menu we decided to give it a try as it's hard to find a good place that has hot dogs. We order a bit of everything , like a hot dog , tacos a torta and burrito however I was only able to get a picture of the hot dog & wow we were both so satisfied with the taste and the service! Although we didn't finish everything we did take it home so we can enjoy for the next day but highly recommend trying this place out! They did mention to us that their baked potato is the best seller so we want to give that a try next time we go! It was also nice to enjoy a beer there as well as they are stationed in front of a bar in North Park.

      Every evening my king and I would smell the aromas of authenticity, flavorful goodness seeping through the balcony window of our apartment. Tonight we were chillin on the balcony and we hollered down to the masters at work and they invited us down to their kitchen of wonders. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Gigi and Eli. Their welcome was like a warm tortilla hot off the grill, embracing us with kindness and hospitality. My man's was HUNGRY and he ordered a carne asada burrito and holy guacamole she was stuffed, flavorful, and thiccc. My man's was salivating and I had to wipe his chin.. multiple times. Chips crispy and salsas overflowing. We cannot wait to come back on a weekly (daily) basis. 10/10. But forreal, please visit this business the food is amazing and the owners are remarkable. Thank you for a great experience, neighbor!

      No joke, this is some of the best Carne Asada, and Adobada I've ever had. And the owner is super cool. The meat has that flavor of coming fresh off the grill. Get a torta or a burrito with either. Trust me. 5 stars!!

      I moved to East village this past year and have been coming here multiple times! I always get their carne asada fries with everything on. It's theeeee best carne asada I've had I think ever. It's creamy sauce and flavor of meat on top of melted cheese into the freshly fried fries really hits the spot

      Burritos are the only immaculate thing here. Quesadillas are greasy and $8 for this "chips and guac" is craaaaaazy. The guac is unseasoned whipped avocado. And for two cups that are smaller than chipotle??

      Had a huge chicken burrito (had to share it was so huge). My friends had the hot dogs and they said they were the best hot dogs they've ever eaten!

      Let me just start by saying that this food is the best Mexican food I have ever had. First tried them in downtown and now the relocated to North Park. It's definitely authentic and does not taste like your traditional tack shop. We got Asada, Shrimp, Al Pastor and Chicken Tacos. Some with Cheese and some without. The corn tortilla is perfection. I could eat them alone. I love the fact that Guacamole does not have tomato and that they don't overload the taco with Guacamole. It had just enough to blend with the meat, cilantro, onion and salsa. Salsas are fire! Chipotle is bomb! We also got a soy chorizo Torta which did not disappoint! Everything we had was bomb! Two people running shop and both are on top of it. Service is 5 stars without hesitation. They are located at Belching Beaver. I highly recommend the blueberry beer! The convenience of Tacos and beer all in one spot makes the ambience extra great! We will definitely be back for more!
