El Papas

"Some of the best enchiladas I’ve ever had in my life. The customer service matched the delicious food."

"Food was fantastic and extremely authentic! They use nothing canned or premade and make it all fresh! Such great flavors that come from slow cooking meats. Also, they had my husband’s favorite dessert: Choco flan."

"Amazing food. Great service. The waitress interacted with us and made us feel special. The chips and lemonade are made in house"

"Torta de Cabeza…….. That’s basically all you need to know. Just kidding, but seriously though. One of the best tortas that I have ever tried. So this was our first visit I got the carne ranchera, it was good but my wife got the torta de cabeza. It was crazy good. Good service, good music, I like that they also have sports playing. Parking was a little weird. Fresh made lemonade and horchata were good. Definitely glad we tried it. (Oh they have stuff for kids too)"

"I cannot say enough good things about El Papas and everyone who works there. My father passed away unexpectedly at the beginning of May and this restaurant was located across the street from the funeral home we used, so when we were making the arrangements for the service we decided to check out the restaurant as a possible reception venue since it would be very convenient for our guests. Our first time in, we were greeted and served by Adrianna who treated us like family. It really felt like we had been friends forever and she took the best care of anything we needed. Her service was some of the best I have ever received and to top it off, the food was delicious and freshly made. We had a variety of food, but the big hits were the enchiladas (not pictured) and the torta ahogada. The salsas and aguas frescas (especially the maracuyá) were also super yummy. After approving of the food, we spoke to Adrianna about the possibility of hosting our reception lunch there and she introduced us to her husband Jose who gave us more information and options. Once we had an idea of what we wanted, he gave us a quote and we told him we would get back to him since we had more errands to run. Later that evening, I got a call from the owner, Jackie, who said she wanted to offer us a discount on the price Jose has given us because she understood what it was like to lose a parent and all that goes in to planning a funeral. She also told me she wanted the community of Tolleson to know that the restaurant is proud to be a part of the community and wanted to help serve its people during their time of need. I was floored. Her genuine generosity moved me, and we agreed on using the location for our reception. The day of the funeral, we arrived and to our surprise there was a flower arrangement for my father on behalf of the restaurant, another beautiful and unexpected touch. The service was too notch as usual, the food was delicious, the beers were cold, the music was perfect and most importantly all of our guests had a great time celebrating the life of my dad. Overall, words can't express the gratitude I feel to everyone at El Papas who allowed us to end such a hard day with a beautiful memory. It will definitely be a staple in our lives from now on and I can't recommend them enough. In this day and age, it is rare to feel valued as a customer, but the El Papas crew truly goes above and beyond to make sure it's patrons feel like family."
