“ Great Food. Good Service. Love the Mom and Pop Feel of the Store! Will come back when I'm back in town ”
“ This is a great spot for some food if you are on the go and want plenty of taco options as well as some unique styles of mexican food. When you walk in, you order on the kiosk and they will prepare your food. They have seating inside while you wait but everything is meant to be carry out. Even though it's a physical restaurant that looks like a chipotle or qdoba, it works more like a food truck where the stuff is made fresh, not sitting in tin containers waiting for customers. The guy on the grill kept making all the meat fresh as well as heating the tortillas there too. I got the grilled chicken because it was new on their menu. I didnt love the taste of the chicken because it tasted fast-foodish. Not that it was bad but I definitely should've gotten another meat because everything else was great. (I added pico to my taco) They placed two sauces in the box, spicy and mild, and the spicy had a little bite to it. I like spicy stuff so I enjoyed it but if you dont handle spicy stuff, itll probably hurt. Overall, I recommend this spot and will go back when I'm in the area. ”
“ This place is a hidden gem. I was looking around for something quick and easy. As you enter the restaurant the smell of fresh food on the grill just hits differently. Ordering food was fast since they have a kiosk. Our food was out within 3 mins. Price of the tacos was great. We had the Tinga(4/5), rockfish(5/5- loved how crispy it was) and camaron taco(3.5/5). Side of mesquite loco street corn(3/5) and horchata(5/5). Definitely going to come back here for a late night grab. Keep in mind that the place is really small. And located in an industrial area. ”
“ Big Papi’s has a popular reputation, and it’s well deserved! Busy on weekends but great for ordering out online. Their chicken tinga tacos are amazing especially when smothered in their salsa verde— flavor is on point without an insane hit of spice. Vegetarian options galore with some vegan options, too. One of the BEST tres leches cakes you’ll EVER try. I believe they soak it in a form of horchata with how flavorful it is! Staff is often busy cooking so there isn’t much interaction aside from placing/picking up orders. Lots of free parking available. The birria pizza is a crowd pleaser & feeds 3-4 people! ”
“ Food was delicious, fairly priced, came out pretty quickly. I’d first heard of this place like two years ago but was confused about the seating situation so that always prevented me from coming. There are three bench-style tables (maybe 2-3 people per bench) inside but there were people sitting on them waiting for orders. There is a small square 4-seater table on the cement right out front, and two wooden picnic tables around the side in the dirt/grass area. Photo attached! If they had actual tables inside, we’d be here frequently. We will be back!! ”
“ Outstanding tacos! Tinga and chorizo were bursting with flavor, and the loaded papi fries with grilled chicken were amazing. One of the best taco spots around—must visit! ”
“ This place is so beautiful inside and the vibe is truly authentic! The Spanish music was great and I love all the greenery in the atmosphere. The servers were very helpful and kind. I really just came here for the vegan tacos! I’ve been craving vegan birria for a while and I made my own remix with their vegan chorizo burrito and consume! 10/10 highly recommend! Was delicious ”
