“ I took out 21 family members tonight. We had a great time. This is family ran and the food was excellent. The lady running the place met us at the beginning and let us know all food is made from scratch. So in some cases the dish will take a few extra minutes. This was very nice to let us know. Yes I do highly recommend this place, even though they didn't have my beer. Lol.and thank you to hem. ”
“ Authentic alright!! Such a delicious, homey food! I got the green cheese enchiladas, DELICIOUS! Not only was the food amazing, Adriana was welcoming and very attentive. As a Hispanic woman this is definitely authentic. Going back for the Sonora Hot Dog ... ”

My husband had the Ranchero plate, while my Suegra had the red enchiladas and I have the carne asada fries. And a complementary chocoflan for my Suegra's birthday Overall Amazing ”

“ We ran into this place and decided to try it. So glad we did it turned out to be great. My husband got the sauced burrito, I did the birria tacos and my son ordered the wings. Mt son couldn’t believe how good the wings are considered it’s a Mexican restaurant the burrito’s was delicious and so was the birria tacos. I had a Paloma that was served w fresh grapefruit juice that really hit the spot. The music was a total vibe and apparently they have karaoke in the evening, Dj and a band. Family is welcomed so we might go back to check it out w the kids. Jackie one of the owners was so nice took the time to chat with us and made sure we were enjoying our experience. ”
“ I would have never known this place existed until my son and family moved to downtown Tolleson. If I could give them a million stars I would! I took my son as his family to El Pappas today to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. We were a party of 5 with two toddlers. The owner and servers were all soooo very sweet to our whole family! Next came the chips and amazing salsa! Fresh! Tasteful! The menu is compact. But with everything you would want. Homemade everything! The two Carne meals were so delicious and my enchiladas were like nothing I’d had before because of the homade sauce and corn tortillas. Lastly they brought out the best flan brownie! The owner and staff made us feel like family. ”
