Fave place for tortas and tacos. The customer service is great also. Husband loves the empanadas

They don't have quite the variety that everyone else does. However, the rating here is for Perfection on what they do have. People are not just slinging High reviews for no reason here. I ordered asada, pastor and carnitas tacos with everything plus cheese. I also ordered a beef empanada, more on that later. None of them were over fried, oily or crispy; however, they each had very appropriate and distinct flavor and were tender and juicy. The pastor was especially rich and tasty. Now, for the empanadas, OMG, you have got to taste the empanadas here. I've tried a few empanadas, including gourmet empanadas. This thing was full of tasty meat and perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. They come with chimichurri sauce. I can see why their catering business blew up. This place is much higher quality than your average taco joint. The kitchen got a makeover, accepts credit cards and they even have a soda fountain. The health department score is an A and the restaurant is very clean. I was pleasantly surprised buy the small basket of chips with beans, cheese and sour cream splashed on top. They don't have a salsa bar, but I asked for red and green sauce and they handed some over the counter for me. Both sauces are mild, but very rich and tasty. Evidently, they're catering business got so busy they had to close the restaurant down for a little bit. But now they're back and lucky us. It's still in Mexican restaurant, LOL. They had the Mexico Canada game on TV. They close early, so make sure you get there well before 8 p.m. read more

One of my friends was getting her nails done at the shop right next door the other checked this spot out on Yelp & saw that the reviews here were very good. We all love a good empanada so we decided to try a few. I ordered a chicken, beef and spinach & cheese. They also have a cream of corn that I want to try (they weren't serving this one today). We were given a basket of chips while we waited that had cheese, sour cream & I think a mole sauce on top...it was really very good. The empanadas were crazy good, so full of flavor! They came with a chimichurri sauce that could go well with just about anything. The chicken was my favorite, the beef was pretty good & I liked the spinach & cheese but you have to eat that while it's still fresh & hot or the cheese will turn rubbery. I hear they also will serve a lot of food that is not on the menu since they do a lot of catering & photo shoots & will typically have extra in the back. Good thing this spot is down the street from my job...then again, maybe not! Will definitely be back! read more

The staff is very friendly unfortunately I don't understand these 5 star reviews at all. The carne asada burrito smelled EXACTLY like dog food and it taste how it smelled. Unbelievable! The rice is flavorless and mushy. Not even close to good food. People get lost as to what's good. Not a five star place. read more

Oh my GOD this is THE Mexican food place. What a great little valley spot, I can't even begin to explain how amazing the food is at Casa De Papi. Even the chips are unreal. Quality dishes w an amazing staff, and their pastor is the best in the SFV. If you're thinking about eating here, YOU 100% SHOULD!! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Hidden gem of the valley. I would recommend their empanadas, tortas, & carnitas tacos. Great service, delicious food, friendly staff. 6 stars!! read more

I was having a small party and wanted empanadas for appetizers. My sister told me about Papi's. I ordered chicken, beef and the spinach/ cheese empanadas. I trusted my sister and ordered them. Let me just say that everyone ate the empanadas but not the main meal.... Haha! The were delicious and not GREASY. I just had some empanadas the other day from a Argentinian lunch truck and they were so greasy. I couldn't eat it. Also ordered rice and black beans as sides and they were yummy too. I liked the rice cause it didn't have the veggies that look like the frozen mixed veggies in the freezer section. They also made me a salad to go with all the food. I was expecting the typical mixed greens you get in a bag but when I opened up the container I was surprised. It was a beautiful mixed greens with strawberries, pecans and I think cojita cheese. Lastly, great customer service is one of the biggest things I look for. Marcos helped me with my order and made sure it was ready when I picked it up. The cooks were also friendly. Delicious food and great customer service made this experience a 5 star. read more

Best burritos in the valley! They are always packed and the ingredients are high quality. Just wish they were open for longer hours!

We love Papi's! My mom and I go here all the time. I love their all meat burrito and she loves their wet burrito. We even ordered a bunch of their empanadas to go for a party pre COVID!! We called ahead and they were wonderfully accommodating. Another time we ordered something 30 minutes before closing and they stayed open for an extra 10 minutes to give it to us! Papi has our back! You guys are wonderful and even today on my mother's birthday she wants to go grab some food! Thank you! read more

INCREDIBLE! They have the best empanadas EVER. My bf and I have to stop by and load up every time we're in town.

Delicious doesnt describe this place. I used to spend summers in Mexico and the food here reminds me so much of that delicious food. Today for lunch we ordered 3 asada tacos, a carnitas burrito and an asada salad. Everything was AMAZING. I had the tacos which are easy to make and even easier to ruin... These are pure perfection. Grilled like my family used to do it during our summer BBQs... Slightly crispy yet tender and delicious. I didnt take a photo of them bc who hasnt seen street tacos... These YOU gotta taste to believe. I did tho take a photo of my friends asada salad bc I was so impressed with it and she raved about how yummy it was. Will definitely be going back! read more

Papi and his team are great. I like their tortilla chips plain, but I live their empanadas. As far as I'm concerned: Best empanadas in Los Angeles. The dough is crunchy and soft, if such a thing is possible. Mejor empanadero de LA read more

Tried this place because I was looking for a replacement for my favorite Mexican restaurant that closed. This is my new spot. Loved everything I had. The staff was cool also. Friendly, didn't mess up my order, fast. Now when I have a Mexican food craving, this is going to be the place I satisfy that craving. Only thing is I wish they had more empanadas. I would love to see a bigger variety like pulled pork, eggs, cheese and sausage or something and that's only because I love the ones they have so much I wish I could try different flavors. read more

First time coming here, and it wasn't what I was expecting. The customer service was great, and the prices were good for the amount of food we got. It just wasn't what I was expecting as far as taste based on all of the reviews. But it was still pretty good. We ordered over the phone and picked up for take out. Again, really good customer service, really nice people! read more

We finally tried this place. Everything we got was delicious. We tried their tacos, burritos, enchiladas and their Asada Plato. I even tried one of their empanadas (normally not a fan of empanadas) and it was good. Won't hesitate to pick up from them again. Just beware they close at 6:00pm... read more

This place is an absolute GEM.. had the Milanesa Torta and it was by far the best Torta I've had in decades ... we decided to try the empanadas based on some reviews and WOW, they're better than places that specialize in them! Can't say enough about how friendly the staff is. Whoever taught these guys how to cook should have a statue dedicated to their honor! read more

First time but seasoned taco vet here. Amazing meat and empanadas! Wolfed down 12 tacos before I even started watching the movie I que'd up. Hooked it up with extra salsa. 10/10 read more

Great food at reasonable price. Craving chicken soup and salad. Generous portions. Will be returning.

Pretty gross. Rice was way overcooked and saturated with water. Beans over salted. Salsa was sweet? Not a fan. EL TAPATIO FOR LIFE!

The california burrito was beyond my expectations. I've had california burritos all the way from san diego up to sacramento and this was the best one yet. Burrito was large and tasty, the salsas are home made and very tasty, they even give you a bag of chips with it. Owner and cashier are very friendly. Great little spot they have here! read more

Pretty dang good! They can be a little slow from time to time, but its worth the wait. bomb food. big portions. and overall tastiness. legit stuff. read more

Seriously good empanadas! It's a strip mall hole in the wall, but if you want great food, and awesome service, go here. Mmmmmmm read more

I've been hitting a different local taco stop for the past year because I didn't know about this place. Dropped in for the first time, very near closing time, and got some friendly smiles and great service. They had to be thinking about closing the shop at 8:45p and then here we walk in for dinner! But they were none too pleased to take care of us. Ordered a few tacos, carnitas burrito, and two empanadas. Three moist, tasty beef tacos on the plate and I devoured them before I could even snap a photo! While my wife but the huge burrito in half (saving the other half for tomorrow's breakfast) I bit into the Spinach and Cheese empanadas. Fluffy, airy, cheesy and the spinach adds a nice flavor and acidity to the meal. Of course, we got our chips for free too! read more
