I can't stress enough how good this place is. In fact "good" doesn't even come close. So exquisite is the food I can say that Papi's will be the only Mexican place I visit until I can get back to South of the border. The service was kind and accommodating, the food didn't disappoint in any way, and if you don't get the homemade horchata you are simply a fool. Sergio and Jasmine are the ones that you need to talk to. Fantastic people!!! Oh yeah, my wife and I will be back again, and again, and again..... Thank you Jasmine and Sergio!!!! Hasta luego!! read more

Stopped here on way back from a vacation; ( son stopped here on way to vacation and said to stop on way back ) There were 9 of us and the food choices were great and the burritos were nice size. The staff was great as weak; I changed an order kind of midstream and they adjusted to it. Small sitting inside so we put tables together outside to sit together. All the while we ate; people trickled in 1 x 1. By the way the hot sauce is hot. Everyone's food was great tasting. Nice little place, seems locals like it! read more

This place offers a wide variety of Tacos and Burritos. everything from traditional meat, pico de gall and guacamole to even a Surf and Turf version. This most unique burrito offering is the Hot Cheeto Burrito. Which is made with a burrito stuffed with French fries, your choice of meat, Hot Cheetos, yellow melted cheese, guacamole, sour creat and topped with shredded cheese. I also tried the Torta, (which is a Mexican version of a sub sandwich) on a sub style bun filled with your meat choice, beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onion & avocado served with a side of french fries. You will be happy with the people and all the variety's they offer here, this is one of the easiest reviews I have ever had. We were ecstatic to be here. Plenty of space to eat in comfort. The monster burritos are addictive as well, come hungry you will leave full and you will not regret it. The staff is friendly g and very welcoming. read more

I've been back a few more times since my first review, and it hasn't hit quite as hard as that first time; I'm still chasing that dragon. The food quality seems to have gone down a bit. Still very enjoyable, just not quite as punchy. The locale is teeny tiny but very conveniently located. And the staff hasn't been standout either. They've been very indifferent, borderline rude, like I'm wasting their time. There's lots of other Mexican options in town. read more

Great quality food & Quick friendly service. It's rather small inside but it wasn't an issue. We were in & out pretty quick. But not rushed at all ;) We asked for hot sauce & they brought a couple bottles out to our table. Both had good flavor. The cheese with the chips has a subtle jalapeño flavor. So good. I forgot to take pics but we would definitely come back when we're in the area. They even have a customer appreciation card so if you buy something 8 times or so, you get 2 free tacos! Who doesn't love free tacos! :) read more

Papi’s Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

This is long but important if you care about ethics and fair business practices. TL;DR, Papi's is legitimately lying to their customers and ripping them off at a 1:3 ratio. Ordered carryout for two, added a 12oz cup of queso $4.50 or so extra (no chips included). Got home with the food and it was very obviously a 4oz cup of queso. so I drove the 2 miles back to the restaurant to point out what happened. Manager/shift lead insisted to me that it was 12oz and that they had changed the style of cup that the queso comes in. They even showed me 2oz cup that they claimed was 4oz and then showed me a different sized lid that they claimed was from their older 12oz cups. I knew I was being lied to but I left. I got home, went straight to the kitchen, and grabbed an 8oz Pyrex measuring cup from the cabinet and dumped the "12oz cup" of queso into the Pyrex cup. To the surprise of no one, the queso filled to about the 4oz line. I took my Pyrex cup and their "12oz cup" back to the restaurant and was immediately met with pushback. I told the guy I knew he was lying to me the first time and the proof was before him. He still tried to lie about the capacity of the cup. I told him if he could pour 12oz in the cup I would give him $100 and he said he needed to call his boss to see if he could make it right. I waited several minutes before I was finally brought a cup of queso that looked to be about 12oz. read more

Papi’s Tacos - 12oz queso - Tacos Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

We came across this hole in the wall just by mapping nearby restaurants after leaving Tennessee coming back to Kentucky and we came across this place in Elizabethtown. We were skeptical bc Birria is special and specifically hard to cook soooo we took our chances and we were not disappointed. Food was on point and we enjoyed it very much! Very authentic Mexican food for sure!! Service was great and fast as well! read more

First time. I stopped in to pick up a vegetable pizza. They did offer one for me and my wife to share. She can't eat red meat so not all pizza places offer vegetarian or chicken pizza. Plus my wife ordered fries which they had. They also offer toppings for the fries. We enjoyed the pizza, not so much the fries. Service was good. read more

The rice and beans were a little salty but still good! The chimichanga was HUGE and so good! I could barely finish the meal! The service was fast and pleasant! I'd definitely return to try the tacos and other menu items. I took my meal to go but the short time I was inside the establishment it appeared to be nicely decorated with a good vibe! read more

Papi’s Tacos - Beef Chimichanga was sooo good!! - Tacos Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

Absolutely delicious! So often when I try tacos that others say are amazing, I don't notice much difference from other decent Mexican restaurants. Not the case here. The flavor of the birria and carnitas tacos I got was definitely notable, and my friends all loved what they got (I think we tried 6 different tacos between us). Prices were very reasonable given the taste, uniqueness, and quality. I'd definitely go back! (One note: there's a reason that chips & guac aren't on the menu. The guac on its own is underwhelming.) read more

Not much to say, because there isn't much to write about. You can't really sit inside because there isn't enough room, so you're forced to take it home. The service feels impersonal, and I can barely see the people behind the counter. The food is utterly mediocre, and their only saving grace is that they serve birria tacos. If you want good Mexican food, be it tacos, burritos, tortas, whatever it may be, go to Mexico Lindo. They will do you RIGHT. read more

This tasted great going down and I had left a great review in excitement but, about 4 hours later.. All three adults that ate the food had major stomach issues and we all believe we got food poisoning. Two of us had not eaten anything else that day. So, doubt it was just a coincidence. These things happen but, did hate that this happened. Made me wonder we're they too busy and food got contaminated? I will potentially try again in the future but, it for sure will be a while before I go back. read more

Cool little place with the best tacos! We had the hot Cheetos fries as well and omg the portion was amazing!

The food is amazing the birria tacos are perfection and staff was nice and professional

I always love to find these out of the way gems and to be blown away by the quality of their food! I've been back three times in the past month and have tried something new every time. Haven't been disappointed with anything but need to point out that their Chorizo taco is incredible! read more

I loved this place as a food truck and am so glad they have 2 locations now, one in etown and one in Radcliff. I LOVED their shrimp burritos when they had them on the truck then they stopped offering them. I was very disappointed. I always got my husband the chimichanga. He said it was okay but he is super picky. And it was usually cold by the time he got home, so that may have been the problem. My husband and I tried to visit one weekday around 5:00 at the etown location and the line was out the door. We decided not to wait. But I went back on my own one day for lunch. I got the ground beef tacos. They were pretty good. I LOVED the fried shells! The ground beef was nothing special, didn't taste like it had any seasoning. I wish I could give 3.5 stars because the tacos were decent and the burrito was great but they don't offer it anymore. I WILL be back to try some other things and I definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

Badass real Mexican joint. Good is bangin i probably eat here atleast once a week .......

It is not authentic but it was a cute place to snack at. The wait was average and is very close to the famous Brown Pusey read more

Great Cali style Mexican food, only place in the area like it. Small seating area, since it looks like an old sonic.

I have visited Etown Papi's several times for my taco fix and I have cravings for the elote. Recently used them to cater a graduation party end of May. I was so very impressed with the quality and quantity of food for a reasonable price. The location near me was concerned about accommodating my schedule and asked if I would mind to pick it up at the Radcliff location. It was not a problem. The catering trays were prepared on time for us to pick up, food was packaged well for transport and temperature was just as desired when the guests were served. Highly recommend the food and service. We will definitely visit again and use them to cater events in the future. read more

Papi’s Tacos - Birria tacos - Tacos Near Me - Elizabethtown, Kentucky

I decided to try this place, maybe expecting too much from the reviews. First, it was sweltering hot inside the tiny dining area, and seating is very limited inside. There are only 3-4 tables inside and a couple outside. There is a limited drink selection, just glass bottle soda and some ice tea bottles. No diet or sugar-free options. The fajita burrito I had was ok, the tortilla was very chewy and bland. The filling was decent, but not a whole lot of meat. My kid's Carne Asada taco was very heavy on the cilantro, but was good otherwise. I live really close to this place, but I will probably go down the road a little further for my Mexican food craving. read more

Burritos are fantastic, from living in SoCal I'm picky about burritos and this definitely holds up! The hot sauces are so good and I ordered online and messed up my order and the owner was so accommodating and remade my order for me. Highly recommend swinging through for a quick bite. The inside is small but very cute inside, they also have a few interesting things I'm very interested in trying their ramen looks good! I don't normally leave reviews but I hope this place thrives! read more

Tacos were great. They are a large number of options. We saw some burritos that someone ordered. They were huge. Everyone was friendly. It is about 3 miles off the interstate in the town circle area. I would stop again next time we drive through town. read more

The tacos at papi' tacos absolutely rock!!! I grew up in Texas and I have eaten Mexican and Tex-Mex all my life and this is some of the best authentic Mexican food I have had, especially for a place like Kentucky read more

Consistently good food but double check your order before leaving. I've been missing a few things on a couple of orders. The only complaint I have is how much the food has gone up. I know there are certain issues with supply chains etc but the price increase here is a little more substantial than it really needs to be. I used to get 2 meals there for my roommate and myself for $17-20 now we are paying $28 for the same orders read more

Great Mexican food. Good quality ingredients. Would recommend to anyone local or visiting.
