They should be called casa de caca no flavor no seasoning but nice people. Much better options in the valley

Amazing food! And amazing service Marco spent some time talking to us, he is the nicest person ever! The food was sooo good very tasty and feels like eating at home! I am sorry I didn't take photos, but we will be back over and over! read more

I gotta say this spot delivered a great experience overall. I've lived in this area for 10 years and drive by it daily but never knew it was here. Purely a yelp find. Scoped out the menu at 1am and was fixated on trying it out on my way home after work. I knew exactly what I wanted and walked in with an expectation of service. I placed my order and sparked up a convo w/ the chef and was served a basket of fresh chips with beans, cheese & creme. Tasted great and generous as a freebie. I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon since those are hard to come by and a favorite when executed well. This one was a stand out with great flavor. Eggs, cheese, bacon & country potatoes. It was a simply delicious. Hearty and filling. Spinach & cheese empanada was phenomenal especially with the chimichuri sauce. The shell was flaky and fried perfectly and had a great flavor overall. Can't beat the price for what you get. Chicken empanada was a miss for me. There's a herb used either thyme or basil I couldn't quite pinpoint it but something was amiss on my palate. I was most excited for the $1.50 tacos. I ordered 2 asada and one pastor. They were good especially for that price, certainly not the worst but not the absolute best I've had in comparison to tacos Reyes' tacos. The salsa was also mediocre but not horrible. Def better than sharkeys salsa who allegedly won a best salsa award but I digress. The staff were phenomenal and the breakfast burrito will be purchased again for sure. I'll also snag a couple of empanadas as well. read more

Astoundingly good food prepared with attention and care. Very unique and genuine flavors. I highly recommend. The owner, Marco, is a gem!

Fantastic food and fantastic, kind people! Definitely recommend this place highly!!!!!!

This is the first Mexican restaurant I've been to that has featured empanadas. The soft tacos we tried we're solid and well seasoned, but being of Peruvian heritage, my parents and I focused on the empanadas. They were large, fried, and filled with savory goodness. We walked in on a Friday or around 3PM to find a couple patrons, good sign, and received prompt service. When we left more patrons entered, another good sign. We were already quite pleased with the food when proprietor Marco provided us very warm and generous attention, engaging my parents in discussions about both Peruvian and Mexican cuisine, and more. it will be hard to top this experience, but we will be back for more, I suspect many times. PS I believe we paid $3.99 for each empanada not $2.50 as pictured on Yelp, but they are worth it. Like with any tasty meal, chew slow and savor the goodness. read more

The tacos de al pastor are good. They had good flavor and were fresh. I also tried the chicken empanadas and they were ok. Next time I'll try the carne asada tacos and beef empanadas. read more

Ayaya!! Good Tacos! As good as the lunch truck. Family own with a good friendly atmosphere. Not many seats but good beef and pork meat tacos. Come by after lunch rush to get a seat. read more

Finally we were able to stop by and try Casa Papi, and we were not disappointed. The tacos were amazing. Definitely recommend the Carne Asada and Carnita tacos. They have this amazing chili oil hot to sauce to add to your tacos, if you're into spicy food . My daughter loved the beef empanada. I didn't even get to try it. The service was amazing after our meal, the owner offered us ice cream we didn't even have to ask. My kids and I definitely are giving casa de papi a five star rating can't wait to come back. read more

I'm so glad I came across this hidden gem this weekend, everything we ordered was awesome! From their authentic Argentinian empanadas, to their stacked nachos and tacos, everything was cooked and prepared fresh. I was super impressed! Most people love pizza, I love tacos. I've been to the sketchiest, bougiest, cheapest and most expensive taco spots, and Casa De Papi is certified Bomb. Prices are solid, flavors on point, I really can't think of anything negative to say. I ended up chatting with the owner for a bit, and I loved the passion and energy he has for his business. This guy knows customer service and knows how to keep customers coming back. Marco, if you read this, thanks for being such a stand up guy! This taco spot is settled in a good sized strip mall with plenty of parking. There are handicap spots as well. Inside offers a few seating options, with a couple tables outside in the front to take in some fresh air while having lunch. My wheelchair wielding buddies will find they may need to ask for some assistance to move a table or chair to get settled inside, but everyone is so nice and professional, they will most likely take care of you before you ask. read more

Great Food friendly staff ! no real sit down space, perfect for those nights you don't want to cook!

I have passed by Casa De Papi many times. I get my nails done at Nails 4 You, which is next door. Today I gave Casa De Papi a try and boy oh boy was it delicious. I got the cheese enchiladas and lettuce wrap tacos ..Highly recommend and the staff was courteous and efficient. 's up read more

Awesome empanadas! Fast and friendly! Small eating area but totally doable for a quick bite!

No complaints here. Went in because of the reviews and glad i did. The gentleman at the register was very welcoming. I got there as soon as they opened and had the place to myself. I didnt feel rushed. 9 ordered 2 carnitas and 2 asada tacos... both were very flavorful. The carnitas were soft and crispy at the same time. The carne asada had good flavor. No chewy pieces like you normally get from other spots. Less than a week later i went back for lunch amd ordered an all meat burrito.. and again, i was very satified.. Oh... they offer you free nachos, (chips with sauce and cheese) while you wait... they're pretty good too. On thing i do appreciate is the simplicty of the menu.. they have a good selection of items but not too many. Makes you feel like they focus on making qhat they do make to perfection instead of overcroqding the menu with mediocre items... Give it a try! read more

Great food and excellent, friendly service. Close To my office so I am sure I will be here a lot. Thanks guys!!!! read more

Summary: tried all 4 street tacos and an empanada and would come back again for the al pastor tacos and very likely another empanada. Ambiance: small cozy restaurant with a few tables inside and outside. The restaurant is clean and has an A health score. Service: we ordered a lot of tacos and the man behind the counter (possibly owner) provided us with some free chips and salsa while we waited for our order. Service was terrific. Food: as mentioned above, the al pastor taco was top notch! The spinach and cheese empanada was really good too (just a little too fried for me... I like them baked). The chicken, carnitas, and carne asada tacos were average. Parking: lots of parking in the shopping center. Conclusion: the al pastor taco got me hooked to come back and try again! I'd likely go back if I'm around the neighborhood... I'd order something else in addition to the al pastor to see if I'd go back after that... but overall good vibes at this place! read more

Really great tacos! I would have been back a second time in a week if they were open on Mondays! Wet burrito was also good. While we waited, chips were provided and they were excellent! Great/quick service, too. Small storefront in a strip mall, but they have a few tables inside for dine in which we did. Would recommend for your taco fix in the area - I'll be back if we are in the area. read more

We stopped in while shopping and were so glad we did. Everything was delicious and fresh. The portions were large (we took half home). They had vegetarian options (I had the vegetarian torta), and my husband loved his carne asada burrito. The people were nice and the food was delicious. read more

Casa De Papi - California Burrito, Tamarind soda and empanada! - Mexican Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Great service & food. It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. I wanted Carne Assada Fries & I gave it a try. I ordered for take-out. When I got home, I opened the container and it was loaded with meat & cheese. The meat had a good citrus-lemon taste. It also had sour cream & guacamole. They give you a good size of salsa on the side with medium heat. What I like about the place is the service. They offer you chips while you wait even if you will not be dining in. They take credit card & cash. I'll be back... read more

Casa De Papi - Carne Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - Canoga Park, California

This 'hole in the wall' Mexican place is incredible. Everything I've tried here is excellent: the chips have the perfect crunch, the salsa is awesome... anything from the bacon breakfast burrito to the carnitas burrito to beef empanadas to al pastor tacos. Friendly staff every visit. The only negative I can possibly say about this place is I wish they opened earlier so I could grab an early morning breakfast burrito: it's the best in this area. read more

Food was a little bland. The rice and beans had no flavor. I got carne asada, Al pastor, and chicken tacos. The Al pastor was the only thing with flavor. Amazing beef empanada though. read more

I have been living in woodland hills for over 20 years and was never aware of this gem Casa De Papi. I was looking for a place to cater for my pastor and group of guests 12-15 to my house. The place is little difficult to find it is situated in a small shopping center behind Nico's. As soon as I entered the place it is rather small but was greeted by a server. The place is very clean it has several areas for table and chairs. When i inquired about catering the owner Marco, avery pleasant man came out to greet me. He listened to the needs of my guests which are alittle challenging as they are some that are gluten free, low fat, vegetarian etc typical in Los Angeles. Within minutes he was able to accommodate all their diets and made me a menu at a very reasonable price. He allowed me to try some of the food very good and the empanadas were excellent. So I'll be ordering my menu from here and I will let you all know how it goes. So far I'm so impressed. I wish I knew if this little joint before. Stay tune I will update you in 2 weeks. read more

I tried Casa De Papi for the first time this week being new to this area and I came back almost everyday since. From their breakfast burrito, all their tacos, to their empanadas, everything is so flavorful and delicious. Im very picky when it comes to trying new places especially when it comes to meat for a taco. Their asada, pastor, and carnitas was some of the best I've ever had. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. And their green salsa is my favorite. I have to order at least 2 empanadas each time I order as well. So much flavor in every bite and the sauce that comes with it compliments it so well. I'll forever be a customer to this restaurant. read more

I just don't understand how this place got so many good reviews. I had the asada nachos and the meat tasted like it was marinated in salt. The chicken soup was nothing special and the rice and beans were average. read more

Casa De Papi is delicious! Great food! Great owner and employees! This is an awesome place! I would highly recommend!

They say the best things in life are free -- and here, one of my favorite items is the basket of complimentary chips you're offered at the start of every meal! Topped with mole, a generous sprinkling of cheese, and a nice-sized dollop of sour cream, I often finish the chips well before my order arrives, even if the wait is only a couple minutes. Aside from the awesome free chips, I also enjoyed the: EMPANADAS = had 1 each of chicken and beef, but couldn't decide which I liked more. Crispy texture on the outside, filled with flavorful ground meat, bell peppers, and spices. Cut them in half to cool down slightly. I bit into one and almost burned myself because they arrive piping hot straight out of the fryer. Served with a mini tub of chimichurri, though I wish there was an aioli or mayo-based sauce option. STREET TACOS = had 1 each of carnitas and pastor. What a great deal at only $1.50 each, and this is the everyday price, not just a Taco Tuesday special like everywhere else! They are not shy on the meat here at all. Had to eat some filling with a fork before I was able to actually pick up the taco. Default toppings are salsa, cilantro, and onions. This eatery offers some of the best values I've found in the area at lunch time. I gorged myself on 2 tacos and 2 empanadas for ~$8, not including tip. I had skipped breakfast that day and was starving, so I probably would've been satisfied on a regular day with even just half of the items. Service is friendly, welcoming, and fast. Say hello to the owner, Marco. He takes great pride in his restaurant and rightfully so. Location is along Sherman Way near the Del Taco on Shoup, across the street from Ralph's. read more

This place is amazing! We tried it tonight and will definitely be back. The owner and his employees were all so friendly. We tired the empanadas, carne asada tacos and a carne asada burrito.
