“Great Mexican food!
We love their octopus and sugar cane filets. Very authentic tastes. Only one downside is the kids salmon is a bit too salty. Other than that everything is great with Sol Agave! Recommend this place if visiting Santa Monica!

The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“Excellent fish tacos!! I grab them whenever I get the craving! Best days to go are on Wednesdays when they are only $2! It can get a bit crowded on that day but just know that they've gotten the Fish Taco Wednesday operation down to a science so they get you in and out pretty quickly!
Do be prepared to bus your own table, the spray is on the trash!
Do order at least 2-3 because they're not very big!
Do add the pickled onions and chipotle cream that they have in the salsa station“

“Tu Madre was a perfect pick for our team dinner. They accommodated a party of nine with zero hassle, seated us quickly, and kept the service smooth and attentive all night. The menu has great variety, the mezcal margaritas were spot-on, and every taco we tried was excellent. Do not skip the truffle guacamole—it’s a must.

The restaurant is known for its tacos, enchiladas verde, and burritos that impress even California transplants1. If you're in the Los Angeles area, the Van Nuys location also has good ratings, with customers praising its fish tacos and friendly service. Would you like more details on the menu or customer experiences?“

“Casa de Papi Mexican Restaurant Grill. l liked the customer service, there is small but clean place, their ranch style dishes the seasoning is quite good, l recommend it if you want to try something peculiar.“

“I'm gonna miss LA, but Papi Tacos in Santa Monica made my last day unforgettable! Being conveniently close to the Fairmont, I swung by for a taste of something I just can't get at home. The platter for one was absolute perfection - an assortment of tacos that hit all the right spots. But let's talk about that consommé... it was like a warm hug for my tacos. Dunking each bite into that rich, flavorful broth was pure bliss. If you're ever in LA and craving authentic tacos, Papi Tacos is a must-visit. I'm already planning my next trip back 🤤🌮️.“

We understand that everything is getting expensive but they made portion size way little. I ordered vegetarian quesadilla and always ordered and my husband ordered torta and both orders came out too small!! they barely put vegetables inside so we really did not like it!“

“I just moved to the area and I saw this little spot. I have lived in the valley for 30+ years and was very disappointed with the choices of Mexican food well I'm so happy I found this place. 30 years in the valley and I just found this place. I will definitely be going back again and again. The gentlemen running and cooking were so nice and on it.“
