Extremely disappointed. Always want to support small poc business but there was too many let downs. 1. Came in less than 20 mins when they opened to order the viral empanadas - sold out. They said to come later which was less than an hr. There was a long line, I asked on behalf of the line if we can place an order now and come back at the time requested. They said no. 2. I saw that the empanadas were being stored in used shipping fruit boxes which is a sanitary concern. 3. The employees didn't prioritize & were not efficient moving the long line. This business has been open for years. read more

Papi Clary's is great! The workers are friendly, and the food is fresh and delicious every time. We got the CJ special, and it was a perfect balance of textures and flavors, not losing the crunch of the spicy fried chicken despite being wrapped with other ingredients! + bonus points for a bathroom in the store + they call beforehand to let you know if they ran out of a drink!! read more

Love, love, love their food....Service is alway good. Business is clean and cute.... I will continue going there for everything Birria!!

I stopped by Papi Clary's Kitchen in Concord to try their Dubai chocolate-covered strawberries and they were amazing! The strawberries were super fresh, covered in rich Belgian chocolate, drizzled with Italian pistachio cream, and topped with crispy kataifi pastry bits. Such a good mix of flavors and textures. The chocolate was smooth and not too sweet and the pistachio cream added a nice nutty flavor. The kataifi on top gave it the perfect crunch. Definitely a good dessert . Make sure you come before they run out of kataifi. read more

Got the dubai chocolate covered strawberries and it was my first time trying these anywhere it was good but idk if worth the hype. The topping was a little burnt on some pieces but still ok. Glad they had a smaller $10 options so i didn't feel like i wasted my money. Definitely would go back to try the other food it smelt good in there but kinda a small spot. Staff was also super busy so no one really acknowledged the people waiting to pick up orders so i was there for a good 10mins. Overall i'll try again hopefully around a not so busy time. read more

Papi Clary's Kitchen - Dubai chocolate covered strawberries cup 9oz - Asian Fusion Near Me - Concord, California

I saw the viral video of a girl eating the Dubai chocolate covered strawberry cup from Papi Clary's kitchen and I had to have it! We drove for an hour just to come and sample the $16 dessert. It was worth it! I cannot say enough good things about it! I mean some of the strawberries weren't completely ripe but when smothered in the delicious pistachio cream and chocolate, they still taste heavenly. They also put something in it that adds this little bit of texture and it's just the perfect sweet treat. Since we drove so far, we were pretty hungry and we decided to try some of their other dishes, including birria tacos, birria grilled cheese, and birria fries. Everything tasted amazing. The portion of meat is really good on every item, and we were very satisfied and very full. I would probably skip the birria grilled cheese next time, and there will be a next time in the near future :) but that will just give me room to try some more of their tasty items. If you're on the fence or you're not sure if it's worth the hype, I'm here to tell you it absolutely is! There were a lot of people in line and it was very busy, but there's a reason. Run and grab yourself one of these while you still can! read more

I stopped by Papi Clary's Kitchen for lunch and this place was super packed. There were about 15 people head of me. I had to try their menu and I got the birria fries, birria grilled cheese, birria taco and my wife wanted the Dubai chocolate covered strawberry. The staff was super friendly and nice and they were making the orders as fast as they could. There was a good amount of tables and chairs for patrons inside. I waited about 15 minutes for the food and about 20 minutes for the dessert. All I can say is wow the food was worth the wait. The birria fries were my favorite. It was loaded with birria meat and toppings. The birria grilled cheese was really good but i felt that the birria was overpowering the cheesiness of the grilled cheese. The birria taco was great with the consomé. The Dubai chocolate Strawberry cup was delicious. Definitely worth it to treat yourself to that. It was creamy and sweet and loaded with strawberries. It was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try their other items on the menu. read more

Do not order from Papi Clary's Kitchen through DoorDash! I placed an order and my dasher came in took my order and left, then said he cancelled the pickup but still took the food. He stole my entire order. Three more dashers were assigned to my order and no one would respond. I finally called the store and asked if there was an issue. They told my food was taken and didn't care to let me or DoorDash know. It took my over 45 minutes talking their the DoorDash app to get my order cancelled correctly and get a refund. read more

Extremely disappointed! Empanadas are Sold out 30 mins after opening! Obviously can't meet the demand read more

MAKE THIS YOUR NEXT STOP! I love a good mom and pop restaurant and this is what this is. Very limited seating with uncomfortable chairs if you're a thick hip girl lol but the food is what matters. The customer service was 1000% on point. My cousin and I came for the egg rolls. We found out that was a daily special thing and the didn't have them on the special for the day. We ordered grilled cheese birria, birria and chicken fries and tacos. Everything was hot (fresh made), well seasoned and I am not a spicy food girl but their spicy house sauce is really good. It's spicy to me and it's still good. Overall, I'll be back AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN anytime I'm hungry and in the area. read more

Wow this place is doing something right! A line out the door and a vital dessert makes this place something of a local sensation.

The food here is good, but the service is slow no matter what time or day of the week it is. They need more staff. The few times I have come, it takes a while for someone to take my order even if there is no one else in line. Today it took 45mins to get 4 empanadas. There was 1 person ahead of me in line and 2 other parties waiting for their food. Only 2 other customers came in while I was waiting. It should not take this long. I come back because there are certain things I can only find here like their birria empanadas, ilocos empanadas, and lumpia nadas. I just have to make sure I'm not in a hurry when I go. read more

Killer lunch today at Papi Clary's in Concord. My husband and I both had the spicy chicken sandwich which is loaded with chicken that was perfectly seasoned and fried. The mango slaw was the perfect accompaniment. We got a quesabirra taco for our son that had great flavor. For dessert we had the viral Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. Loaded with pistachio cream and chocolate. Absolutely delicious! read more

Dec 21.2025- Unreliable hours. Came here at 5pm on a Sunday because online and on their own door says it closes at 6, but instead we could see two workers inside giggling at all the people being turned away. I feel bad for the owner cause this is bad business after going viral. read more

Me and my hunny had CJs special, which is spicy chicken, cheese, fries, & coleslaw wrapped in a toasted tortilla. The portion was very large, and the flavors mixed well together. The fries were basic and not noteworthy. The service was standard, we ordered to-go and it took about 15 minutes to get our food once ordered. The inside was small, the tables had food stains, and I found an ant crawling across mine. Overall the experience was a 4/5 read more

First saw this place for them having Dubai chocolate but then tried their chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Pros: good portion sizes for Sandwich, Dubai chocolate came in multiple flavors which was nice and not too sweet. Cons: Dubai chocolate was pricey for the size, wish it was a little bit nicer to dine in. Birria didn't come with consomé :/ Ambiance: 3/5 Taste: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5 read more

Amazing spot for genuine birria. I always get the birria tacos along with either a spicy chicken sandwich or a quesadilla or birria fries. They cook to order and everything comes out within ~10 minutes. It's got a nice little storefront that is mostly a waiting area, which is fine since I've always gotten takeout. You can see them cooking everything fresh in the kitchen upfront and it always smells great! They even have daily specials sometimes like burritos or ramen or pasta. One of my favorite spots in the area. read more

For some really good comfort food in Concord, Papi Clary's Kitchen is the spot! I came for, and conquered, the hot chicken sandwich. It wasn't the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, but it was good enough to satisfy a craving. The other menu items looked yummy (like the Birria Tacos) and I'll have to try them next time. Thanks Papi Clary! read more

Would order again: Birria grilled cheese (8/10) - they were generous with the amount of birria given. Tasted better than expected! Spicy chicken sandwich (7/10) - not the best but was good! Ube Horchata (10/10) - on the sweeter side but very yummy! Can taste the ube! Would come back JUST for this drink. Wouldn't order again: Spicy chicken fries (2/10) - fries were hard, chicken was mushy with no crunch. The sauce mixed with the guac had an awkward after taste. I had high hopes for these fries but at some point it did not taste good. I usually save my leftovers but I just threw it away. Was disappointed. read more

I'm a big fan of Claryzza and the name she has made for herself. I remember the backyard days. She works hard and knows how to cook! With that being said, I've gone a few times and the best thing on the menu is their Fried Chx sandwich, birria tacos and garlic noodles w shrimp. Absolutely delicious. The Dubai cup, I'd say it's a love hate. The pistachio butter was grainy, not creamy and it just wasn't what I expected. I think they're open to suggestions and that's why I am writing this because if you make that butter creamy, you got winners all around. Keep rockin Claryzza & team. read more

Best Food, Best People. The Staff is very Friendly and Accommodating, The Service that they give you is Outstanding. The Ambiance is so chill you can even sing along while waiting for your food.

Will recommend 10/10 :) read more

I've been here twice and both experiences were disappointing. The birria taco was bland and tasteless, and the empanada I ordered on another visit was burnt and over-fried. The shell was hard and the filling tasted burnt. Definitely not worth the money -I'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

I stopped by Papi Clary's on my lunch break and i was immediately with amazing customer service! The cashier answered all the questions I had about the menu in a very friendly way and I did not feel rushed at all! Unfortunately they were out of the Ube Horchata which I was very excited to try, but it sounds like they sell out of it quickly. I ordered the strawberry agua fresca instead and it was pretty tasty! It did not taste like fresh strawberry berries were used, but still tasted good all the same! The star of the show for me was easily the Mulita! I had never tried a Mulita before and this particular one tasted better than I could have expected! The tortillas were nice and crunchy and the birria was nice and juicy! The Mulitas are a must try if you come to Papi Clary's! I would 10/10 come back! read more

Respectfully the food was trash! The popcorn chicken tasted like salty hoisin sauce, the rice was hella mushy and Mac n cheese was hella salty too, yall need to add more flavor than just salt! The birria inedds more flavor as well, don't waste your money on this smh!! read more

soooo sad to give a review like this, especially since i always hear such good things about this place. but it didn't live up to the hype :( my sibling and i came here after school for lunch. we ordered the birria fries & spicy chicken fries. i also got an ube horchata and my total was a little over $30. food took like half an hour despite nobody being inside. the ube horchata is hella good! would absolutely order it again. but the birria fries, absolutely not. first off, it was drowning in sauce (i think guac & sour cream??) making the fries soggy quickly. the sauces were kinda flavorless too so i didn't get the point. the birria was also sooo mushy, and did not taste good. the spicy chicken fries were definitely better. it's so unfortunate because half the menu here are just birria items, lmao. maybe i just had a bad batch that day. i definitely plan on coming back and trying something else though!! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while so I DD an order for lunch. I ordered a birria quesadilla, birra street tacos with cheese skirt (3 in an order), 2 chicken sandwich sliders, 2 birria mulitas, and the special garlic noodles with firecracker chicken. For dessert I ordered 2 9oz Dubai strawberry cups. The birria was good but needed a bit more flavor. They forgot to include my consume so I unfortunately could not dip any of the birria. There were also quite a few big pieces of fat in our tacos. My favorite item was the mulitas. The shell was crispy and the avocado salsa was perfect with the meat. The garlic noodles were okay, I didn't get much garlic flavor. The sliders were tiny and average. The Dubai strawberries were a let down for me. They were covered in chocolate, hardly any pistachio cream or knafeh. So no texture, just chocolate and strawberries. I don't think we will order again. The mulitas were good so I would recommend that. read more

TL:DR. Delicious Birria. check them out Parking - located in a typical Concord strip mall. You could easily overlook the spot but make it a point to go find them. Signage is just a banner for now Service - prompt and served with a smile. Ambiance - minimal seating with a few tables and some bar seating for 4, and no outdoor spots. Lots of takeout traffic. Food - stellar birria. Mulita and taco were both delicious. Definitely want more. Given how good the Birria is I suspect everything on the Birria menu is awesome. Birria fries were great and filling. Definitely a great vale and something teens and adults would love. Birria ramen - was super curious on this one. As some others have mentioned. Think instant ramen meets Birria. Cool twist and definitely yummy. I can see being a hit with young and old. Served in Birria broth with chunks of beef was very satisfying. I can easily ordering and taking home to pair with your own cheese quesadillas to extend your meal. Lime cucumber agua Fresca was refreshing and delicious. L Overall - great value and food. Hope they can flourish and add to the Concord food scene. Come and support great local places like Papi. read more

My husband absolutely loves this place. He tells any and all of his friends about it. I'm relatively sure he has tried everything on the menu at least three times. The first time we ordered it, we ordered it two days in a row. Must grab an ube horchata to wash down the meal! My only recommendation would be to add more vegetarian options, as I would love to partake in all the goodness!! read more

soooo yummy!! they have the best chicken sandwiches and dubai strawberries. they gave me a lot of chicken and the coleslaw adds so much flavor to the sandwhich. the strawberries are fun too but definitely very filling and pricey but that's because their viral at the moment, overall a must try in concord! read more

Excellent birria! We shared the birria ramen, birria Mac n cheese, and spicy chicken sandwich. I would skip the sandwich and stick to the birria items. My boyfriend and I both didn't care for the sandwich (battering crumbled off within the first bit and had the smallest amount of Cole slaw in it. While that was a disappointment, their birria really turned things around for me! I don't think I can ever go here and not get the birria Mac n cheese! We bought a water to share, but ended up walking back to buy one more. They gave it to us on the house, so we placed it back in the tip jar. read more

Even though my order was initially messed up, I was really impressed with how the team handled it. Mistakes happen, but great customer service makes all the difference and they absolutely delivered. As soon as I brought it to their attention, they were quick to respond, genuinely apologetic, and fixed the issue right away with no hassle. They went above and beyond to make things right, which I truly appreciated. Because of how professionally and kindly they handled the situation, I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service from not just the owner but all the friendly staff as well! read more

Have seen a bunch of videos/ pictures of the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries so my sister and I wanted to come and try. We got the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries, the ube horchata, the spicy fried chicken sandwich, the birria ramen, and the birria grilled cheese. We got the strawberries first but we waited until the end of our meal to eat them. It was $9 for the 9 oz and I believe there's a larger size as well. They also serve biscoff covered strawberries. It was a bit underwhelming. The knafeh was soggy on the top but tasted better on the bottom. The strawberries were okay and the pistachio cream and chocolate lacked flavor, but maybe I'm not a fan of Dubai chocolate strawberries- it was my first time having it. The ube horchata was my favorite thing we ordered! It was super creamy and very refreshing- I would order again! The spicy fried chicken sandwich was also delicious. It was flavorful and the slaw balanced it out nicely. There were parts that were a bit dry. The birria ramen was pretty salty, I don't think I'd order that again. The birria was very moist though. The birria grilled cheese was delicious! It tasted really yummy dipping it in the birria ramen. The meat was moist and tasted great with the cheese. The service was quick and the staff was friendly! read more

Service was friendly but the Dubai strawberry cup is gross. The chocolate was good but the pistachio cream was wet and the entire cup was sloppy. It was essentially flavorless with the exception of the chocolate. Too expensive to be so mid. I gave two stars because they were quick even while being busy. read more
