On South Myrtle Avenue in downtown Monrovia, Tacos & Papas built a following the old-fashioned way — through food that's honest, consistent, and worth coming back for.
428 South Myrtle Ave
We're the spot on Monrovia's downtown strip — turquoise facade, string lights, and the line out the door on weekends.
Corn Tortillas. No Shortcuts.
Fresh cilantro, pickled red onions, lime. Every component earns its place.
Then There Are the Papas
Crispy fries piled with al pastor, guacamole, crema, and jalapeños. Order it once — you'll keep coming back.
Vegetarian Is Not an Afterthought
Potato tacos, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower — these aren't substitutes, they're reasons to come. Everyone eats well here.
Same Quality, Every Time
Regulars call it out by name: the consistency. Every visit, every dish — that's not luck, that's the discipline behind the counter.
