Delicious tacos! Tried the carne asada and chorizo tacos and loved them. The owner was very friendly and gave me a sample of an al pastor taco that was also very yummy. Have been here a couple times and the tacos never disappoint. Really like the salsa as well that comes with the tacos. If you want faster service they do offer online ordering through instagram. Give them a try, I promise you'll love them! read more

Pa’ Tortas El Papi - tacos de asada y pastor - Food Trucks Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

The tacos are absolutely delicious. This is the Mexican flavor Fredericksburg was in absolute need of. The tacos are served freshly made, hot, tasty and with friendly customer service. The standard garnish of onion, cilantro, sliced radishes and salsa served with a regional twist of cucumber--which is characteristic of North Eastern Mexican food (like they're made in Tamaulipas). I can't say much more than once you try them, you'll know that they're Mexican. The tacos de asada are generously filled with steak that has been finely chopped with a cleaver--like at every taco stand in Mexico. Try it. You won't regret it. They are now set up at a new location by Advanced Auto Parts. read more

My favorite taco food truck in all of the DMV! The owner is super sweet. The meat is always well seasoned. I've tried all of the tacos they have on the menu and haven't had one I didn't like. When I lived in Rosslyn, I used to stop by whenever I could. Now that I live a few neighborhoods over, getting tacos from Pa' Tortas is a treat! read more

Food was amazing!! Service was great. You really should try this place out!!! Price was reasonable as well. Love it. So glad we tried it. read more

Absolutely the best street tacos from a food truck. If you really want that West Coast real Mexican food truck street tacos, this is the place. 10/10 read more

Yum! Freshly made tacos at a great price point. Four tacos for only $11! I was very pleased. These aren't my favorite tacos in the area, but a solid option. The tacos were very flavorful and I like the touch of cucumber. I found some of the meat to be a bit dry, particularly the chicken. Their verde sauce was delicious. I just wish they gave more of it. They're made fresh so expect to wait a bit! read more

Pa’ Tortas El Papi - Food Trucks Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Fredericksburg location: I called the phone number this morning so I could order ahead some sopes for dinner tonight. I went to pick them up and the crew was just getting them started. Damien the owner was there and we started talking. I let him know that although we had been here 4 years and he has been here at least a year or more, this was embarrassingly my first visit. We chatted about some of his food offerings while the crew prepared my order. Damien explained how difficult it can be to find a location for a semi-permanent food truck and the challenges he went through to get setup where he is today on Salem Church road. Once the carryout order was ready, he gave me a little sample of another menu item and thanked me for supporting his business. Pa' Tortas El Papi has an Arlington location too, the OG. The sopes were (asada, pollo, al pastor) presented very well even though it was takeout. Everything was fresh, appetizing, and absolutely delicious. The red sauce was not flaming crazy spicy, but just flavorful with some decent kick to it. Green sauce was awesome, too and less spicy. The prices were reasonable ($5.00 / sopes). We will be back! I highly recommend giving them a try. 2311 SALEM CHURCH RD 22407 (in the parking lot of Advance Auto Parts ) I rate them 6 Stars out of 5! Fantastic! read more

These are the best, most authentic tacos we've had yet in our 4+ years living in the DMV. (Although, to be fair, we haven't made it to that other Arlington taco truck yet. We'll get our butts over there someday!) They make their tortillas in-house, and that quality comes through in the texture and taste. My only criticism for the tacos would be that I personally prefer my carne asada to have a bit more char. For himself, my boyfriend ordered the torta cubana. For those of you who didn't know (I certainly didn't), the torta cubana is a completely different sandwich from the cubano! It has things like breaded meat and eggs in it. His main criticism of the torta cubana was: it's so huge! Seriously, it was a massive sandwich that even my boyfriend had trouble finishing it all. This last criticism is unfortunately the most important one, and the reason this otherwise excellent food truck loses a star. The chef was not wearing his mask properly. If your mask isn't covering your nose, it isn't protecting the food and the customers from accidental transmission of pathogens. So, while the food was delicious, we won't be visiting again unless we see that the staff are all wearing their masks properly. read more

Pa’ Tortas El Papi - Carne asada tacos - Food Trucks Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

Pa' Tortas El Papi is a sister truck to Pa' Tacos El Papi, my favorite (and, who I honestly believe is THE best in the DMV!!!) taco truck! Their menu is modest, but focuses on what they are known for - tortas! They have varieties, such as La Infiel (Cubana), La Chilanga (with carne asada), La Petacono (with milanesa), La Pechugaona (with chicken), Del Chavo (with ham), La Sensual (with pig leg), and the Hawaiian (with beef and a slice of pineapple). They also have shrimp tacos, but those seem to be extremely limited and only offered on certain days. I was super excited to finally check them out, and we ordered the Pambazo and the Chilaquiles (both that are only served on the weekends as a special!). The Pambazo came in a soft bread that seemed to have been dipped in some time of a juice, so it had this savory-looking red color to it; diced potatoes and chorizo was inside as a filling, and this was great with the thick tomatillo sauce that added a nice kick to it. My favorite, however, was the special Chilaquile - filled with a perfectly fried milanesa, thick tortilla chips, and drenched with sauce and cheese and a perfectly seasoned fried egg, this was absolutely delicious!!! Sometimes, the tortillas can be soggy in other eateries' versions of chilaquiles, but within this sammie, they were still crispy! The bread was panini-pressed at the end, which added a nice extra crispiness to it, and again, adding some more tomatillo sauce just put it over the top! Everything was freshly-made with fresh ingredients. There is a mini counter attached to the truck, but most seem to take their orders to go. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell that this family-owned and -operated business has it going on! I can't wait to go back and try out their shrimp tacos and the rest of their tortas. You can find them in Clarendon during the week near the business district, and off of 50 and George Mason during the weekends. Check this truck out - you won't be disappointed! +delicious tortas! +chilaquiles! +addicting tomatillo sauce! +friendly staff! read more

So so yummy!!! The tacos are so flavorful and fresh. Wish they had chips and salsa/cheese though.

What a simple but tasty experience! The best and most authentic and tasty tacos and quesadillas in Fredericksburg. Looking forward to coming here again and again. read more

I've passed this beautiful festive truck several times and finally when I was having a taco obsession, I had to try their tacos! You know how something is so available to you... until you want it! Lol, I walked miles one Sunday so I could finally try Pa' Tortas El Papi's tacos and guess what... the truck wasn't there! Once, I was able to try the tacos I saw their business hours and their not open on Sundays. I made sure to snap a photo of their business hours, which I've attached. Okay now let's talk about the tacoosss. I ordered their 4 tacos special, which is 4 tacos for $10. I ordered two carne asada, one chicken and one chorizo. The tacos are served on two tortillas. It took maybe 5 minutes for them to prepare my food. When I opened my container their presentation was quite nice for a food truck. Four lined up tacos with a cute little Mexican flag in the middle. I love a good presentation, it was so adorable! I loved how The flag informed me they were Mexican tacos. I knew they'd be good from seeing that little flag. You know how else I was assured I was in for a treat, the tacos were served on two tortillas, a sure sign of "tacos authentico"! The tacos come with the meat and they ask if you'd like the onions and cilantro mix, yes! The tacos are also served with lime. I asked for salsa verde and salsa picante, both sauces were delicious. All the tacos were yummy! The chorizo might have been my favorite, I certainly recommend it. If you see that beautiful "Pa' Tortas El Papi" food truck do yourself a favor stop and order some authentic Mexican food, you will not regret it! read more

Most delicious tacos in the DMV. As soon as I found out that this is the sister truck for Pa'Tacos el Papi I bought nine. Super flavorful and marinated meat, soft corn tortillas, perfect accoutrements and perfectly balanced hot sauce. Run, do not walk to this place!!! read more

My 5 star rating is for quality not price.The tacos were just....the best. I got one each of the pollo, asada, and chorizo. All were very good, but the pollo and chorizo beat out the asada. 4$ a taco is the median in Virginia i've found, but being from the southwest, it still makes me irrationally irritated. read more

Pa' Tortas El Papi made tacos for my June wedding. We chose to have the open grill and not the truck. Communication was easy and fast. The whole team was so kind and friendly. They arrived and quickly set up and began serving. The lines moved quick and the tacos were all DELICIOUS! Everyone was talking about how great the tacos were. My only regret is not eating more of their food! I highly recommend this group for any party, gathering, or event. read more

I pass this truck every day after work and always wanted to try it. Finally made it happen today and I was NOT disappointed. They were out of the shrimp tacos but recommended El Pastor. Amazing. Ask for the hot sauce too, really delicious. The staff was really friendly too, very charismatic. Gonna go back for the shrimp tacos for sure read more

I liked the painting on the truck and decided to stop. Got the cubano torta and some carne asada tacos. Both were amazing. Even my lucky kid liked the food. The sandwich was enough for three meals, and still delicious on the second day. Will definitely go back. read more

I work in the area that this food truck is typically parked in, and while I was taking a walk during my break I was cat called by one of the men inside the truck as it passed me. It was disgusting, and it's one thing to behave this way on your own. However, this is a direct reflection of the business and should not be tolerated. Always wanted to try the food here - never will and I'll sure be sharing this story with the folks in my office. Thanks guy! read more
