Delicious local tacos! I get the street tacos with chorizo pork and rice. The flavor of the red sauce is incredible and the jamaica hibiscus tea is so tasty. Staff is super friendly

It doesn't get any better than drive-thru tacos! Papi's is where I go because I can count on the consistent perfection they deliver. In 2023, I went over 75 times. I absolutely love this place and am writing this review after ordering Street tacos tamales.

The best quesadilla I have LITERALLY ever had. The pastor pork dance on my tongue and I wish my stomach was larger so I could eat more. Yum yum in my tum tum. My mom drank the meat juice from her food. It made her dance with excitement.I considered giving my dog a bite but it was just too good even though she is a very good dog.

Vegetarian tamales rock. So does the selection of vegetarian tacos. But all the tacos are the bomb. Good place to eat in the warmer months since there is only outside seating. Drive thru has always been quick for me .

Authentic, affordable, and delicious! It's a walk-up window and a drive through, with cute outdoor seating. About 4 tables with 4 colorful chairs each. A great place for a casual bite to eat

Amazing tacos for decent price. Great service and a DRIVE-THRU! Definitely my future “go-to” when looking to eat in the area. The meat was fresh and hot. All of the toppings/sides were great quality. And they carry Tecate beer.
