The overall food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fusion of birria and ramen. Service was efficient and friendly. Ambience is festive and colorful. read more

Delicious! Love all the taco flavors. I'm from LA and I know tacos But let's talk about the birria ramen So delicious and they serve generous portions. Prices are fair. You won't be disappointed Love this joint so much, we are catering for my birthday! Yes, they do cater! read more

First sign should've first been that I didn't see any Latinos picking up food from here. It was super busy which I expected since it's taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo, so me and my dad were fine with the wait as long as the food was good. This place was also nicely decorated. We got birria tacos, shrimp, and carne asada. The portions were sad for the amount you pay($16 each order of tacos!) plus the flavor was lacking in the tacos and consome. I'll just stick with my tacos from Que chivo. or even. Taco Bell. Maybe their other stuff is better but the tacos for me and my dad already were pretty underwhelming. 1star for the place's decoration/vibe and the 2nd for your employees teamwork during a rush. read more

Adding another 5 review 4 years after my first one. This place continuously slaps hard and every order is a win. I love the birria tacos the best, but the quesadillas, elote, and pretty much everything else on the menu gets a 5 star review as well. My favorite place in Frederick. read more

I ordered the buffalo wings based on how good they looked in the picture but they arrived not looking anything like it. Nick ordered the Quesadilla with Birria and Horchata He really liked his meal and drink. Kareem ordered the Walking Taco and Tres Leches which he really enjoyed as well. I ordered the buffalo wings, Horchata, and Churros. The wings were fried beyond belief and the sauce was dreadfully spicy, not like buffalo sauce at all. The horchata was very good but the churros were very thick which made them a little more difficult to eat. read more

Easy to love this little place tucked into an industrial park. I think most people take food to go as seating is minimal but adequate if you are just eating your freshly prepared meal there. Almost always they have someone who will guide you for dietary restrictions and check to be sure; it is impressive for such a tiny inexpensive venue. I think you should try it. I wish there were locations closer to DC because the quality is very high for the price you pay. read more

Big Papi's has become a favorite for my bf and I. Our order is always made correctly which used to be an issue occasionally. Each time they were very accommodating when there was an error, and even gave us a coupon once since there was a long wait (which really wasn't that long). The burrito is really good and my bf loves the carne asada tacos. read more

The food was delicious, I had the fish taco and surf and turf taco, both were fantastic. The service was also wonderful, the staff were so generous and fast, highly recommend this hidden gem read more

One of my favorite local taco shops that was known for its authentic delicious flavors and large portions. I always felt full after ordering a Taco Birria Combo, but left sorely dissapointed this time around. There was almost half as much meat in the tacos then the way it used to be. It's half as much as pictured in the menu as well. It still tasted amazing, but left me wanting more and slightly ripped off. read more

Standard decent taco place. Prices are more expensive than what you can get down in Moco. Kids meals are free - all the time and no catch. Service was friendly at the counter. You order via iPad. Not much seating inside so definitely a takeout place mostly. Parking was easy. Carne asada was good. Shell was more on the crispier side. Will try the birria next time. read more

Terrible food and service. Awful location. Much better tacos all over Frederick. Highly overrated.

This place is amazing! The inside is a little plain, but I love the hanging plants from the ceiling. It wasn't too loud, soft music playing in the background. You order your food at the kiosk and then it is ready within five minutes. We got two different tacos, chips, and salsa, and churros. The churros didn't come with any dipping sauce on the side and after we ate our tacos we moved to the churros, they were pretty hard but good. They had a few seats inside and a few tables outside on the patio. I definitely recommend and will be going back. The chips and salsa were really salty. read more

This is one of our go-to dashes. Who would have thought traveling tacos could be a thing!? But they arrive with crispy fresh flavors- every time. The Quesabirria (Birria pizza) is why I started eating here and keep coming back. Those churros- how do they stay so hot and crispy- even with that caramel sauce dripping off of them!? My family fights over who gets the last one- every time. We tried the wings for the first time ... you do those right, too! I actually prefer yours over actual wing spots. They are big and have a nice sear on them. The garlic parm sauce is aggressive but on the side so dip to your liking! read more

Food is delicious. I'd rate this as the best grab and go Mexican food around. You can customize your order on the food order kiosks or Oder online and have it ready for pick up read more

Nice food, great tacos and sandwiches. We ordered to-go and the order was ready in less than 15 pretty awesome.

The food was excellent. It came out relatively fast. Oddly, the quesadilla didn't have a chicken option, but it was still very good. Here's the issue, in my burrito bowl I ordered extra chicken ($3) but i can't possibly have gotten it -- there was very little chicken on the bowl. Additionally, my son ordered jalapenos on his burger (up charge), but didn't get it in. Our third meal didn't have any add ons, so it seems as if they missed add ons. TBH, we'll go back, but I'll have to take extra time to ensure we get what we order. read more

While it does seem like the await time is a little extra that is because everyone knows how good this place is. Absolutely love the tacos. I've tried several of the meats and treat myself to Papi's about every other week. Great stuff! read more

Had tacos from big papis a little over a month ago. Place looked new, very clean and organized. Had the birria tacos and of course absolutely delicious. Service was great as I ordered the food for take out and was ready on time. read more

Yes, we often wander to restaurants that feature regional food. It is something we frequently do. 1. Salsa my line of demarcation for South American cuisine is how good the Salsa is, and ok, Big Papi's salsa is good. 2. A variety of selections is important - another plus here! The food was well prepared, and the Guacamole was perfect. However, the chips were not thin enough to snap in the salsa and Guac. Overall, it was great experience with great food! (Yes, I am a fan, and yes, we have added Big Papi's to the go-to again list.) Even if the restaurant is named after a former Boston Red Sox, it should probably be a star less, but... read more

The food is great, I'd give 5 stars on that alone. The service is beyond terrible, especially if the old lady is expediting. My orders have been wrong 4 times in a row- ingredients are magically added to dishes when they aren't listed. Ingredients listed on the menu and description are not present in the actual food. If you order and wait, make sure you hound her for your food. They don't call numbers or remember you from when you ordered 5 minutes ago. They just sit the order on the shelf and let you wait while the food goes cold. Again- food 5 stars. Service -1 stars. read more

I found this spot on TikTok and added it to my list of places to try/review. Luckily we had family in town from Hawaii so we decided to treat ourselves. Location: The location is in an Industrial Park setting off in the cut a bit. They have limited seating and one table outdoors. The inside is lit with good lighting and green lights that shine on the plants to enhance the atmosphere. It's an open floor plan with two bench tables inside. Most people order and wait in their car or inside. You have the option to order on the tablet and if you enter your information you'll be notified via text when your order is ready. It also had pictures next to each item so you'll know what you're ordering. They had music playing as well with a green plant photo wall. Service: Service was good, they were welcoming and answered my questions. There was even an accident that happened where my churros container fell on the floor from the counter as they were packing an order. They promptly replaced them without me having to mention it. They even took our trash and put it in the other trash can while they were replacing the other bag. They cook our food made to order and it took a little while because this place is busy but that just means it's really good food so we were prepared for this. Food: The food here was excellent. 9 outta 10 easy. We all got something different. From the tacos, to the Birria taco pizza, to the corn to the ramen, yes ramen at the taco spot! Everyone loved their dishes. One described it as receiving a "warm hug" and the meat was tender and flavorful. We also got their juices which were refreshing but a bit sweet and finished our visit with delicious churros with caramel and powered sugar. We got different types of tacos from chicken to steak and all were on point. You can see the chef cooking up live in the corner on the stove all the cheesy goodness. Corn could use more cheese one said. SupaFlyITGuy approved Overall rating 9/10 this place is nice, seating is limited though and best to order ahead. read more

The food is always so so good, I've been coming here since Covid era and always get the birria pizza as I felt it was by far the best bang for my buck... however they took it off the menu and why is ONE taco over $7 if I want cheese??? Three tacos being more than $15 seems actually crazy to me especially considering theta is have little meat and toppings in them and no rice or beans or anything of substance so u are paying around $19 or more for three tacos w basically cheese cilantro onions and a little scoop of meat... at that point why wouldn't I just go to chipotle and get a burrito twice the size for $12??? Like I'm just confused not to mention the sides are also super pricey and a burrito is 18 starting price so forget it I'm gonna make the drive to senor tequilas in germantown read more

So I tried Big Papi's for the first time today. I had a big order consisting of birria tacos, a fish taco, shrimp taco, elote on the cob, salsa, guacamole and chips. The only thing good was the birria tacos and fish taco. The shrimp taco had no real seasoning. The salsa had no seasoning, its tasted like store bought along with the so called homemade guacamole. Oh and the tortilla chips were stale so they got put in the trash. The biggest disappointment was the elote. My elote looked nothing like the picture on their website. No cheese, no chili powder or tajin just mayo (I'm attaching the pic) smh. We spent over $40 for food that we didn't enjoy. I will never order from here again. Save your money and go to Fajita Grande, Plaza Mexico or even the Mexican spot in the mall outside of JCPenny is better than this spot. read more

Couldn't resist trying their large birria quesadilla, which was the size of a pizza, after the delicious pics posted on IG. I was in Frederick at the time and decided to stop by to order one, as well as their birria nachos. It didn't take long for my order to be ready and the food was pretty delicious. It was enough to feed the 4 of us. Keep in mind that Big Papis isn't a sit down spot. You can order ahead or in store and the wait isn't long for your food. It's a must try if you're in the area. read more

My friend and I came here to try their tacos. The birria tacos are pretty good! The tortillas are crispy and the beef is seasoned well. The only thing is I wish there was more filling. We also ordered the fries with carne asada. I liked the batter on the fries, but everything else was pretty lackluster. The carne asada needed seasoning, and instead of getting cotija cheese, we got Mexican cheese. The side of pico de gallo was also very small for $2. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant itself is pretty roomy and you can watch all the cooking be done. There is no indoor seating or dining, so you must take your order to go. read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time on my lunch break, and both the food and customer service were amazing.

So this place use to be 5 stars. Now it's no better than Taco Bell. Sell outs to changing the menu to items that are not even Mexican or Salvadorian or Spanish. Old bay fries, burger tacos, grilled cheeses, wings and other things are just meh to eat won't have you saying damn that was amazing. The birria was and will hopefully be their go to but now charge for sauce to go items that should just get it. Penny pinching now which is fine but make sure my order is right when you rush to put it together. I have yet to be 100% correct for 10/10 orders. I'm maybe 30% odds my order will be right. Again tonight missing items. Now also who the hell is making your canned tomato paste salsa. It's nasty. The old stuff is still being pictured. False advertising. What kinda shit is that. It tastes like it that's for sure. Taco bells pkgs taste better. What happened to you guys? Why try to do and be something you're not. If the economy changes you don't loner your standards so low you want yo go out of business. Because you seriously wonky be getting any more of ours or referrals. Man we were sending strangers to you. I wouldn't send you my enemies ... well unless I want them to get food poisoning or sick or just have an overall bad wasted money of food experience. You guys are horrible now. I'll go to chipotle ... and if you have seen mine review on how much I think they have crappy service at least their food taste ok. read more

This spot is an hour away but it is 1,000% worth the drive. The birria is so tender you don't even need teeth to eat it!! It is thee most flavorful and most delicious I have had in MD. Already planning my next trip. The only thing I haven't tried is the birria ramen but that's more of a fall/winter thing. I just wish they had picnic tables outside in the warmer months since it's carry out only. They have a really good birthday special too read more

Good service, quick and to the point. You order/pay from a screen menu and your food is called out to you quickly and efficiently. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Make sure you check your food before you go. We did not get our drinks (clearly our fault for forgetting, but we were charged). My pico de gallo I ordered turned out to be a cup of what I can only describe as the broth in a chili, minus the chili contents. Just sort of tomato-y with some beef grease mixed in? The Birria tacos are to die for, give those a try. Delicious. The chorizo tacos...not so much. I've definitely had better. I can't really explain what was off, but they were definitely way over-salted. Deducting points for the disappointing chorizo and the "pico de gallo." I'm really praying that they accidentally gave me the wrong item and that isn't what they're trying to pass off as pico. It literally smells like bad chili. read more

Customer Service 5 stars!!!!! The cashier was friendly, made sure we understood the menu, and allowed us sample the beverages. We wanted to try every thing on the menu because she was just that nice and the food smelled just that good! You can see them prepare it right infront of you. Food 5 stars!!!! The food is slap your momma good! The Birria pizza **omg** I would slap your momma for another one right now lol the elote Corn, the quesedillas, everything we tried was amazing. If you don't have a peanut allergy I insist you get the horchata the best I've ever had! Better than what I make at home. The strawberry lemonade was good too. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It was all fresh, wonderfully seasoned, huge portions, and you will leave full!!! Price point: 4.5 stars: for what they offer I feel is fair. Cleanliness: 4.5 stars: im giving this star rating because it's no indoor seating which is a shame. I wouldve ordered more. Being we had to eat it in the car in the parking lot in the heat was very unappealing. So If you aren't a local and live there you are good. If you aren't a local and going back to your hotel you are good. If you are passing through you are eating in the car buddy. Overall: THEY ARE AMAZING! I WOULD COME BACK IF I EVER COME TO THIS AREA AGAIN!!!! They have an amazing, friendly, staff. They have great food! And you will leave satisfied, we ate here about 130p we weren't hungry again until 1030p. you gonna get full... FULL!!! great job guys, I hope you have all the success in the world, your food and restaurant is just wonderful!!!! I can't wait until my next visit! read more

Review: Big Papi's is a hidden gem, located in a quiet shopping center in an industrial park in Frederick, Maryland. I ordered tacos and my friend order a burrito. It was massive and had the delicious ingredients of shrimp, rice and a few other items. It was then deep fried. The burrito cost under $20, but was truly enough food for pretty much the rest of the day, that how big it was...you could probably share it. Or eat half and save some for later. Prepared from fresh ingredients, right in front of you. The taste was delightful and filling. It the type of burrito that almost too hot to eat but you just can't resist taking a bite. I loved my tacos but next time I want to try the huge burrito. If you want a nice ride into the country, and if you are in Frederick, Maryland, Big Papi's is the perfect lunch stop. Travel often, be kind, eat and live deliciously, always. read more

Service was slow because of a large order ahead, but the food was delicious!! Thumbs up for the birria tacos.

This was my first visit to this food spot and I will definitely be going back. The service was good and the workers were very friendly. I like the decorations and the music. The food was very good. I recommend the quesabirria pizza for groups of 2 or 3. It's cheaper to get the pizza than two sets of birria tacos. Keep in mind that this is take out only so there is no dining in. The strawberry lemonade was also very good. Would definitely recommend. read more

Don't let the fact that Big Papi's is located in an industrial part of Frederick scare you away from visiting. This restaurant offers some pretty good food (tacos, burritos, quesadilla, taco salad, nachos, fries, quesabirria pizza, churros, various sides, and several beverage options) that's worth the drive. Currently take out only, so don't expect to dine in. Ordering is pretty easy and can be done yourself on the touch screen or through one of the friendly employees. I ordered birria tacos, carnitas tacos (made it a combo- which comes with rice, beans, and a drink- for $3 more), Papi fries, and the kid's chicken quesadilla with fries (free! $2 more if you want to add chicken). Between the two tacos, I surprisingly enjoyed the carnitas one more. Both came with well seasoned, juicy, and tender meat, but the carnitas was just tastier for me. My mind may have been changed if I ordered a small consome, which I didn't realize you need to order separately with the birria tacos. Papi fries with carne asada were good, and surprisingly survived the 35 minute drive home. Did it remind me of the carne asada fries from San Diego, not quite; however, it still did the trick. I washed my food down with some horchata, which I appreciated remained cold despite no ice in it. If I'm in the area again and craving Mexican food, I'll head over to Big Papi's again. Next time I think I'll give some of their other tacos, pizza, and/or churros a try! read more

I saw a video on instagram a few months ago about this place. Never had the chance to try it until today. Seemed busy during a lunch rush, but we got our food within 15 minutes. Store was small but clean and well decorated. They have a tablet at the front for easy ordering. We ordered birria tacos, birria rolls, horchata and a piña colada. Everything was amazing. The rolls were delicious and a new, convenient way to eat birria. Can't wait to come back and try more. read more
