Hopefully revealing this great restauarnt won't get me beat up by a few local Flyertalkers who told me of the place

Papa's Tacos... No, it's not a shack or a dive or a fast food place but a well done, traditional Mexican restaurant about five minutes from LAX.

Full menu of great Mexican treats at a great price. Friendly service in a nice Cantana setting. It's open till 10:30pm or 11pm so get there early.

Nice way to spend a long layover at LAX.

I can't find a website but I think the address is:

Papa's Tacos
3991 S Western Ave
