First time at Casa de Papi despite knowing about it, and its reputation, for a long time. Im glad I finally did! This is a small restaurant that seems to be run with 2 guys, Marco and a cook. Everything cooked to order. Nice touch, complimentary chips while waiting even for to-go orders. I did not but everyone else did. The Milenesa Torta was not only well-constructed but yummy too. Everything was in the bag to make eating it enjoyable: red and green salsas and napkins. Marco works hard to fill the orders fast. Almost frenetic. My blood pressure went up just watching him. It's clear that he cares about his food and his customers. Mist customers seem to be regulars. Others seemed to act like regulars but probably weren't. Kids these days... read more

Must try Very kind people working here and they are welcoming!! Overall 10/10 read more

I gave up on this place awhile ago but my workplace used them for catering for years. They had the best breakfast burritos but they also catered our T-day potluck and other events in years-gone-by. But this year we literally could not reach anyone at the store. Nobody answered the phone or other communication attempts. So, we were forced to go with another vendor. In light of my many times going there and their store being closed despite the hours posted on the door saying they would be open...well, I can't say I'm surprised. Maybe they're not doing catering anymore? If they are, if someone from the business could please message me and I'll let my office manager know so we can continue doing business! read more

Just started a new job so I've been trying new spots in the area for new lunch places and I stumbled upon casa de papi I ordered my cheese quesadilla and two tacos and the food was great. I'll for sure be back and the guys working are super nice too read more

I have to say, Marco truly goes above and beyond. I hadn't been here in a few weeks, and we happened to visit on my birthday. He had no idea it was my special day, but he surprised us with dessert. When he found out it was my birthday, he came out singing and really made it a memorable occasion. read more

Just had the torta milanesa again and I have to say thank you to this business for keeping it real all this time and the food is still a bargain for the flavor bomb you expect to experience but are so often not given nowadays. read more

Greeted with a "hello" and smile by the staff as soon as I walk in. As a customer, I'm already feeling welcomed and happy to be here. The guy behind the counter who takes my order is polite and offers me chips while I wait (salsa, cheese and sour cream). Offering me chips while I wait made me worried that the order would take a long time but I sat down for maybe 2-3 minutes before my food was ready. They recognized that it was my first time there which tells me they have quite a bit of regulars. The staff here was very engaging and I can tell they are big on customer service -- A+ in my book. I had the asada burrito and loved it. Made with black beans instead of pinto beans and the rice/beans weren't overpowering. The ratio of meat to rice/beans was perfect. I felt light and satisfied after eating- wasn't too heavy which is nice. I'll be coming here again for both the great service and food! read more

My fiancé and I went here today because we were hungry for burritos. It's very hard sometimes to find a good Mexican restaurant around here and this was such a surprise interior is small but it's done so nicely and it's so cute. The staff is incredibly friendly the menu pretty good size and let me tell you what we had. I had a I had a carnea asada burrito which was so delicious, my fiancé had the California burrito and let me tell you there's something that they do with the meat They just made it so unbelievably juicy and delicious. And while we were waiting, we had chips with this unbelievable sauce. I mean it wasn't spicy, but it was so delicious and it had such a rich taste. Our totals weren't really ridiculous for really amazing burritos you know so if you're looking for really good food go they do breakfast they do lunch. They do dinner go you won't be sorry. read more

Casa De Papi - Chips with the best sauce - Mexican Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Casa De Papi is one of those spots that feels like a neighborhood secret--but in the best way. The food hits every time. Tacos are legit, especially the birria and al pastor, and the portions are generous without being over the top. What really stands out is the flavor--everything tastes fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. The salsas have some real kick (in a good way), and the homemade vibe makes it feel like you're eating at someone's house who really knows how to cook. Laid-back vibe, friendly service, and food that makes you want to come back the next day. Definitely a go-to when I'm craving solid Mexican food without the fuss. read more

Mexican to avoid. Atmosphere: Small shop menu is clear about 4 or 5 tables, nothing good or bad here. Staff: friendly & helpful everyone was very nice Price: prices are good $2.50 a taco probably one of the cheaper tacos in the area. Food we ordered: Chips: a smaller batch of chips covered in what i expect is a mole possibly and some cheese. This was pretty good nice crunch on the chips. came with two salsas a green and red both had a nice strong flavor and a bit of a kick. 3 Tacos Combo - Carnitas Taco - The best of the 3 tacos we got, strong lime flavor which i liked add some of both salsas and this is the thing to get. However my one pet-peeve with carnitas... If while you are adding carnitas to the taco and you see a LARGE piece of inedible fat DON'T PUT IT IN the taco... El Pastor Taco - The one recommended by the staff, strong flavor decent taste not my thing but also not bad. Chicken taco - this might possibly be one of the worst chicken tacos I have ever had.. No seasoning whatsoever the color was off i'm not sure they even put this on the grill.. absolutely avoid this at all costs. I wish I had photographed this one, it was that bad.. Rice & Beans - overall soggy and not very good, flavorless. Overall the food was not great. We went on a Friday after lunch so it wasn't busy. Im unsure if the food is just pre-made but nothing was really hot.. The food and the reviews on this place just dont match up... Not sure what people are eating but it isn't the food here.. Tips: Plenty of parking in the lot, the candys next to the soda machines are a nice touch. read more

Casa De Papi - Special chefs dessert - Mexican Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Onay, found IT. Here we go, the real deal, but with fresh ingredients. The owner is really nice and cares about his food, establishment, and customers. Plus, the food is AMAZING! This is now one of my top five places for authentic flavor and good quality in the Valley. I do have to take a moment and talk about the quality. Because the meat is exquisite, and everything that comes around it is like straight from the market. Free beans and cheese and sour cream when you show up on location is a fantastic addition to an already phenomenal place. PS they cater! One last recommendation... ask for the "lava" if you respect heat! I've searched everywhere, and everyone says they have fire, but no one ever brings the heat, but here they do! read more

Their empanadas (vegetables, carne and pollo) are very good. Owner and servers friendly and courteous. Small seat eating area. Take away too. Been returning as often as I can. read more

Whenever I order a burrito, I usually order it with carnitas. So I have tasted different carnitas from different places. Tried their wet burrito with carnitas, the meat isn't that great for me. read more

This is my favorite burrito in my neighborhood, but I swear to god it feels like it is closed more often than I find it open. And that is with referencing their hours. read more

My party of 3 all enjoyed our lunch at Casa de Papi. Delicious food for reasonable prices. We came on a Wednesday for a late lunch around 2, and there wasn't anyone else there. The menu is pretty straightforward, with tacos, burritos, plates, quesadillas, and tortas offered with your choice of meat. They have beef, chicken, and spinach and cheese empanadas as well. There's also an all day breakfast menu. The other two went with tortas ($7.99 for vegetarian, $8.99 for meat), but I got the asada plate ($12.99). They gave us some complimentary nachos with two types of salsa right after ordering and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes. I thought everything on the asada plate was delicious, especially the rice which had a really nice flavor. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the carne asada that day was a tiny bit on the dry side, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment of the meal. Portions were huge especially for my asada plate too; we were all shocked by how much meat they included. After eating 3 of the 5 flour tortillas, I still had over half my carne asada left. My friend enjoyed his veggie torta but found it a bit bland. He easily resolved this by adding some of the salsa to his torta. read more

I've probably been here a couple dozen times now. I originally came for the tacos, burritos and the occasional torta which are all good but now I always make sure to get some empanadas too as the empanadas are excellent. The staff is always very kind, welcoming and appreciative of my business too. I don't know if the cashiers are owners or family of the owner etc. but that is the vibe they give off based on how genuinely appreciative they always are of my business which is a different feeling than usually get from an hourly employee even if that employee is kind and welcoming. The food is great but the kindness of the staff makes me walk out happy I chose to spend money at this establishment and sparked me to want to write a review to support their business. read more

Love their food. Tacos asada and pastor, and their beef and spinach empanadas are great! The people are nice, friendly, and fast. Sorry, had to drop them from 5 to 3 due to today's visit. I was put on hold for 11 minutes until I actually arrived. Told them they forgot about me. There were two customers but already sitting and chatting with the owner. No acknowledgement and no apologies. Placed my order and sat for 15 mins and no apology. Very surprised. I was on a tight schedule to get food to my kid who is in school. read more

Great Cheap authentic Mexican , I put a call in order and received great customer service the burrito i ordered was flavorful and the steak was great i added some chips that came with the food into the burrito i recommend that. From a vegetarian the veggie tacos are very good the salsa and chips and also fantastic great filling food large portions. 7.67/10 read more

I had some time to kill while I was driving around Woodland Hills. The best food with so much flavor and portion size. I loved everything. That day when I visited they didn't have corn empanada. Hope they bring it back. read more

Still excellent food and service! My favorite chicken soup when we are under the weather, and the tastiest beefy tacos and empanadas! The staff are so friendly and kind! Always have such a pleasant attitude and never make us feel rushed. Note to owner- Can you please get some print out menus to go (it's nice to have at home) or update the menu online to show the full menu? Thank you so much! read more

Casa De Papi has the best food! We love their breakfast burritos and their tacos de azada and their carne asada fries! But really everything is great here. You will be very happy you tried them out! read more

Decent burritos, but the empanadas are the highlight of the menu. Both chicken and beef are great. The red salsa is also pretty good.

Food is great but they are never open. On days they are supposed to be open you show up and place is locked up with closed sign on the window. Make sure you call before you waste your time driving to a closed restaurant read more

I keep coming here for the great food and awesome service. The breakfast burritos are always so good! Thanks guys! read more

Excellent service, delicious quality food. We stopped in on a Saturday and the shop was small and tight. I wasn't sure what to expect. What we got was shockingly amazing. I always try a bean burrito at new restaurants. This was the best burrito I have ever had. The cheese was top quality and the tortillas,,,the best tortillas I have ever had. Another person in our party kept going back and trying different tacos. He loved each one. This is a must visit. read more

Food: Came to eat here with my friend and we loved it. The Chilaquiles Rojos are spicy so if you're not into spicy, try the green ones. They were delicious! The eggs were made to perfection. I didn't even finish half I was so full, but it was so good. The rice was perfect, not dry at all. The black beans could've used a little more flavor. I wasn't the biggest fan. The empanada was okay. It needed a little something extra that I was hoping the dip would give, but it didn't. Parking: Plenty of parking. It is in a plaza with many other shops. Staff: The staff was wonderful! So polite, friendly, and informative. Overall: Staff was great, food was delicious, the restaurant was clean. I'd recommend giving it a try. read more

This is definitely our go to Taco Tuesday place, and any other day too Thumbs up for sure !!!! read more
