Great food every time, highly recommend! The birria is really excellent and the bean+cheese burrito is super good.

I'm back y'all, with another review So boom picture this: I've been wanting to try this place for a minute and was just waiting on the right opportunity to take my talents over there. My aunt and I were headed to a pottery class and what do you know? This spot was right down the street. God is good I ordered the O.G. Burrito with beef birria, a churro with ONLY dulce de leche (because I know myself), and washed it all down with a lime soda. Now let's talk about the burrito. The flavor? THERE. The meat was juicy, seasoned, and tender But baby... the tortilla gave up on me halfway through. Completely folded under pressure I ended up opening it up and eating it like a bowl, so next time I probably won't order that again. Next visit I'm fa sho trying the O.G. Ramen. The churro though? Oh she did her job The restaurant itself gives more takeout vibes, but they do have a few tables out front on the sidewalk and a patio area in the back for extra seating. Just a heads up -- if you're sitting in the back, listen carefully for your name because they are NOT bringing your food to you. Per usual, if you're in the area, stop by and grab a bite! P.S. Parking is a little tricky, so go ahead and pray before you pull up read more

My plan was responsible: go to the store, buy sugar, be a functioning adult. Naturally, I ended up deforesting a churro just to harvest the sugar off it. I walked out with a pound of crystallized regret. Why bother pretending I'm going to be healthy tomorrow? I'm already deep in the trenches of pure sugar,might as well just embrace the rot. read more

I'm a big Papi Tacos fan and love how its halal! Best halal Mexican by far now! This location has a big patio out in the back and the food tasted really fresh. I always get the OG plate and the chicken was more flavorful and the brisket was also delicious! I placed my order to go, the person said 5 minutes but got my order 15 minutes later, no big deal though since that's what i expected. I did come here at night and it did look pretty sketchy, and the music was super loud. Other than that, food wise it was great! read more

A red storefront caught my eye. It turns out to be a Taco joint. No parking. Sidewalk eating stands and picnic tables in the back. Order and pick-up only. Spanish tunes blaring from the front outdoor speaker. I got the famous birria burrito with consommé. It's big and a handful. Expect to get messy and don't wear a white shirt. It'll stain. Is it worth the calories? Absolutely! read more

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous. My family and i waited an HOUR for our food, thee lady at the window had ran out of rice and other ingredients so some of us didn't even get our tacos, the tacos tasted bitter either way and the lady at the window was arguing with everyone, and we waited 1 hour since they have given away our food without even verifying with the other person read more

Too bad the churros are not made to order especially since it's in their name. I saw them just bag up some premade cold ones. :(

Visited this location after it reopened. The food was decent. However the customer service that I received was horrible. The young Hispanic girl working the window unprofessional. Lacks the appropriate customer service skills. Her attitude definitely need some adjusting. She gave off the impression that she did not want to be there. Hopefully management reads this and makes their team aware. read more

I got the OG plate and it was solid. The proportions were good but I felt that it was a little expensive for how much I got. Also, they give you the tacos themselves but no sides besides consume which I felt didn't justify the cost. The churros were ok at best and tasted like they were fried too long, I wouldn't recommend getting them. read more

Delicious street taco size birria tacos! The meat is flavorful. Also have delicious burritos. I'm so glad they opened this location again

I was looking for birria tacos in LA and this was the first one to pop up on my search. I went on Thursday at 2pm and there was no line, just a couple of people. I ordered the OG plate which comes with 1 taco, 1 quesataco, 1 mulita, 1 quesadilla, & 1 consome soup for 12.99! You have the choice between beef and chicken. I also got the birria tacos with a consome (free if you check-in on yelp)! I also got an order of churros original. The OG plate was very underwhelming, its a really good deal, but honestly I'd just stick with ordering a ton of the birria tacos. The birria tacos however, were SO juicy, flavorful, and dipped in the consome it was a match made in heaven. I think I could've had about 10 of them... thought about going back and ordering more. With the lime and the hot sauce, the tacos + soup was so perfect. The churros were a perfect way to finish off the meal, but wish I had gotten nutella or chocolate drizzled on it! It was still really good. read more

Such a huge fan of Papi Tacos & Churros! It's so awesome to see this place doing so well, as when we went, I believe they had opened recently! Their menu features burritos, tacos, quesadillas, combo plates and even veggie options. We ordered their OG Plate, which came with a taco, quesataco, mulita, quesadilla, and consomé, which they use a 16-hour cooked beef birria). No joke - forget about the other overhyped trucks that feature birria, as Papi Tacos' is the real deal! The way that they prepare each of the items, you can tell that a lot of love went in them. The flavors are so savory and so delicious, they can't be beat! And, that consomé? So on point and just mind-blowing when you dip them tacos! We couldn't pass up on their churros, which they make from scratch and served piping hot - you can opt for dulce de leche, chocolate, or Nutella to drizzle them off. We got them plain, and these churros were one of the best I've had - not too dense but the perfect amount of chew and air-iness; these were coated with the perfect amount of the sugar mixture! The staff here are super friendly, welcoming, and very kind - they had a great sense of humor and such good people! Definitely a positive vibes type of a place! There are a few tables in the front for al fresco dining when we were there that we took advantage of. Thanks, Papi Tacos, for such a great meal! +OG Plate +churros +best consomé! +friendly staff! +limited street parking read more

FIY!! As my family and I been wanting some of these maxing tacos!! I finally came by as the phone number is not available to make orders. So, it looks like they had some kind of fire.. I really hope they are all doing well and hope to have them back! read more

Was on a recent quest to try the infamous birria tacos of LA. Ordered the OG plate, plus an extra 3 birria tacos. OG plate consisted of a taco, quesataco, and quesadilla, but to be honest all tasted the same, just in different 'shapes'. A little underwhelming, though maybe our fault for ordering them all with birria. But would be nice to have a tad more variety and distinction among the three. Overall, these tacos are definitely something to be savored. So juicy after being stewed over many hours. When paired with the consome, you are indeed in for a burst of flavor! read more

Papi Tacos & Churros - Birria tacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

(Late review, my visit was from before COVID-19) Overall great food, but service was very subpar. I got the birria quesotaco and mulita with the free consome you get with yelp check in, and both were soooo bomb. The birria had the perfect flavor and there was a decent amount of it in the quesotacos. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the mulita. I don't know why it hits different compared to the tacos, but biting into the layers of tortilla, cheese, and meat brings you to heaven. Like I said, food was amazing but service was mediocre. Even though at some point I only ordered one mulita (since I went back for more after my tacos), it took like 20 minutes to get it even though there wasn't a whole lot of customers there. :/ My friends experienced the same thing, all of them had to wait a loooong time for their food even though they ordered only 1-2 things. The store itself is like a hole in the wall -- it's literally in the wall of the building, and you sit outside. There's limited seating so I think most people take it to-go. read more

Papi Tacos & Churros - Quesotacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You can't go wrong with this spot. Best Birria south/west of the 10fwy. Birria fire! Consomé bomb! Quesataco so good. Our neighborhood needed this place. We always drove to the east side for the best birria but this spot gives them a run for their money. I'm sure Sundays is the spot to be at for the hangover cure. I went on a good ole "taco Tuesday" It's St parking so come with patience don't forget her at home cause you'll need it specially if you're hungry or here on a Saturday/Sunday haven't been here on the weekend but because it is so good I can imagine the lines. Btw very affordable the og includes 1 of everything for $12 yummmmmmm everything Lol Heard the owner might be a vet #Semperfi so even better reason to support. Thanks for coming to our community Papi. So ladies come get your taco de ojo... I mean de birria and Enjoy. read more

Papi Tacos & Churros - Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came in Saturday night 30 mins before they closed. Not a lot of people but soon after we ordered and got our food, a few groups of customers stopped in, I surely didn't want to be that group that showed up when they closed! :) We wanted churros and Papi (lol), did not disappoint. $2.99 for 2 churros (sugar) and add sauces for $.99 (Nutella, Tres Leches or Chocolate). They fried it immediately as ordered so they were super fresh and delicious and of course, authentic. It's good and we should have ordered more! Their tacos dorado (fried taco) was yummy as well. They had it with birria (the shredded beef one, I think). Added a couple of slice of avocado for extra. There's no seating inside as it's almost just a stand but they had tables set up on the sidewalk. Credit card is also accepted! Nice! Definitely be back to try the other taco choices! read more

Came here because LA Birria was no where to be found. This place is a bit different. They give you the beef with the consommé in a cup (small or large) and the tortilla on the side. When we went, they said that the large would come with 3 tortillas per order however, when we got home, we were only give 2 tortillas per order. Huge bummer. The consommé and the beef were delicious with a bit of kick. I honestly could eat the meat and consommé alone. We also got the og plate to give all their options a try. Basically it is the same thing as the Birria but it comes with the meat inside and some items have cheese in them. Parking is street only. read more

Please note that the prices have changed. We were craving birria tacos and happy to see Papi open on a Sunday. As we drove up you can see the crowd waiting for their orders. The staff is friendly and nice. We ordered the OG to try everything, extra consume, and more quesotacos. Overall the beef was a bit dry so you really should dip in the consume. They forgot to give us the consume that came with the OG. I do like the cook to order aspect so be prepared to wait a little longer for that. Parking is on the street only and you order at the window. read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while and finally got a chance to go today. A 40-minute drive later, we pulled up to the spot and were welcomed by the aroma. We weren't sure what to order so we showed our saved Yelp photos. Decided on the OG plate because it pretty much lets you sample everything. Add the avocado, it'll make a difference. Shout out to Omar for being friendly and attentive. There was a point where they were overwhelmed with so many people, but they buckled up and handled it like a pro. Please get the dip! (it comes with the OG plate) Once you've tried it, you will not want to eat your tacos without it. THE CHURROS!!!! A MUST ORDER. (dulce de leche) Literally ate it and made my husband go back in line for more. Best churros I've tasted in a long time. This place deserved all the 5 stars. There were no complaints. I'm going back!! read more

So I was super optimistic about this spot. All the tacos look beautiful and everyone says how good it is. What I noticed is that there were no pictures of the vegetarian options. Now, I've never heard of a taco with radish, carrots, and onions. Because this was so unique, I was hella intrigued. That red shell with veggies?!? Sure it was going to be bomb. I was...wrong lol. I ordered the VegaQueso and the Veggie taco. Both were trash, and that's no shade. They didn't hit the spot the way a mushroom or potato does. They were just...flat. The shells were your standard tortilla so they was slightly disappointing. It seems like they felt like they were obligated to have a vegetarian option and wanted to be different, but didn't really flesh it out. I would never buy that again lol. The churros were alright. Crisp and fluffy with the right amount of sweet. Somehow they were still just...eh. I ordered a Pollo taco for a friend and he said it may be the best taco he's ever had. It even looked good to me, the pescatarian. That is the one redeeming factor I can give them. read more

Oh my god! I absolutely love this place! It's a bit of a drive for me but the red tacos and consommé are totally worth it. Definitely get the OG plate which comes with birria taco, quesotaco, mulita and consommé. There is a bit of a wait and I would recommend placing an order online but it's soooooooo worth it. I've tried birria tacos with consommé elsewhere before and it's not the same. Once you get it here, you can't go back to anything else. The broth is so flavorful and it legit makes me want to just drink it. For some people, the OG plate alone is enough but because it tastes so delicious, I am always craving for more even after I'm done. I think next time I'll just add something else to my order. I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing tacos that are super worth the wait!!! I was on a mission to try out birria tacos in LA and found this place via Yelp. I went around 7pm on a weekday night and this place was popping! I got 3 beef tacos: quesotaco, mulita, keto taco (cheese shell). By checking into Yelp, I got a free consome (dipping soup). As a big cheese fan, I really really enjoyed the quesotaco and the keto taco. The quesotaco had the right amount of gooey cheese to beef to tortilla. Radiating very strong corn flavors, the tortilla were soft and never got stale or mushy in the end. The keto taco was basically a taco made with a cheese shell - which was absolutely wonderful for cheese lovers like me - but I felt like it didn't complement the dipping soup. The mulita was basically meat between two fried tortilla. It ended up being little hard/too crunchy for me. One thing I do wish is that they put more onions/cilantro in their tacos. The beef was super flavorful and well-seasoned. It was tender and cooked nicely. The consome was very tasty! It wasn't too salty and added another layer to the tacos. I was able to drink some of it after. Make sure to give it a good stir before you start dipping your tacos though! Their salsa was also fire!! Yes, it was on the spicier side but its straight up "pepper paste" and went super well with the keto taco in my opinion. Three tacos were definitely enough for me (vs the OG plate, which has 4 different items, including a quesadilla, would have been too much food). But price wise, you might need to mix and match to optimize what you want. I also got the churros which were also super bomb: crunchy on the outside and moist/soft on the inside! The sugar and cinnamon seasoning were pretty standard but good ~ The wait was a little long (25-30 mins) but the food was SO WORTH IT! To skip the line tho, be sure to order online!! Only street parking is available but there are some side neighborhood streets. Staff members were nice and properly wearing masks. Looking forward to the next time I come back!! read more

[ COVID TAKE OUT REVIEW ] It was my first time having birria tacos and I'm so glad that this place was my first experience for them. The first time I came here was so good that it left me thinking about when will be the next time I come back to try out the rest of their menu haha. My friend and I ordered the the regular beef tacos, beef quesatacos and a consome. We waited about 15-20 mins after ordering in person even though there was no line so I definitely recommend ordering ahead of time on their website to avoid the wait. But my friend and I both agreed that the quesatacos were the best because the meat was just so juicy and the cheese really brought out the flavor mixed with the beef. The consome was definitely our favorite part because the broth was just so flavorful! I'm already thinking about it again as I write this review haha. The second time I got a bit more items off the menu and I ordered off their website to avoid the wait. I got there a bit early and just waited till the time slot they said it would be ready by but when I gave them my name it was already packed on the side so I think you can pick up earlier if you get there in advance. So it was my s/o first time trying birria tacos and he was so glad I recommended this place because he also fell in love with their consome. We got a beef mulita (it wasn't really that great and could use more cheese), 4 beef quesatacos (fantastic as usual), O.G. Beef burrito (it was huge and so thick! It was packed with meat and was so tender and also came with consome), and churros with chocolate and dulce leche drizzle (quite expensive and small but still good). Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking to try birria tacos for the first time or a place for good consome! Also, to all my spicy lovers out there, get the red sauce if they don't give it out to you because it is so good. It is not watery (since I'm not a fan of some places that are just watery hot sauce) and actually has a small kick to it which really enhances the flavor of the tacos after you add lime as well. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

OG plate (4/5): The flavor hits you on the first bite, and wow, the birria is tasty. The plate includes taco, quesataco, mulita, and quesadilla, and I will say that most of them tasted very similar. The consomé dip was a good addition, but I didn't use it much given how flavorful the birria was. Portion sizes are generous, and the OG plate is easily enough for 2 meals. I wish there was a little bit more cilantro, onions, radish, and lime on the side to lighten out the plate. Churros (4/5): We ordered dulce de leche drizzle with the churros, and they came out piping hot. Churros were delicious but were a bit small given how expensive it was. read more

This place has the best tacos i have ever tasted.. Im a Taco Lover and this place satisfied all my cravings! The quesatacos are amazing super cheesy and wonderful in taste. The consome is awesome and although its great to dip your tacos in.. The Quesatacos are extremely delish with/without consome Make sure to get 4+ because they are very small.. (street taco size..or the size of a small palm ) This place is so delish I wish i would have tried them sooner! The Covid-19 procedures in place made me feel safe and comfortable while ordering. The cashier was also very nice and helpful! I Was already thinking about the next time i was going to eat here before my food was finished Soo yummy! try them and eat it right away!! read more

Yesssss Siiirrr!! I really enjoyed the 'Birria Burrito'. The rice, meat, beans, and cheese were ON POINT. The rice was the most overpowering; the one I tasted the most besides the Birria. The burritos bottom was a bit soggy along with the tortilla as a whole, but that makes sense considering it was sweating in the black box due to it being delivered to me. The burrito comes with consomé, 3 limes and 3 radishes. Consomé is a MUST! When it comes to burritos and tacos. The dip is absolutely heaven, it goes hand in hand with the meal. The flavor is bomb ass hell, periodttt. But, I think it might have highkey given me acid reflux considering, my throat started burning after the meal haha, but later went away. I had the consomé with my chicken breast dinner later that day and mmmmhh, it was still perfection! Burrito was full blown smacks and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Am I here only one who doesn't eat the radishes? Absolutely nasty(no shade) read more

Yelp Reviews: Quarantine Edition #44 ¡AY PAPI! ¿Dónde está la biblioteca? In spite of spending 4 years of high school in Spanish classes, I often wonder if I retained any Español beyond food terms? A popular phrase in Los Angeles these days is Birria Tacos, that Jalisco specialty of stewed beef or goat, often fried with cheese and dipped in a savory and spicy consommé. It is the "beef dip" of the moment in Southern California, the land of Cole's and Phillipe's, and in spite of its relatively recent popularity I somehow haven't had a chance to try Birria Tacos until a Pandemic flipped the world upside down. ¡Ayúdame por favor! You can call me pendejo or cabrón (as my friends called me throughout high school... they told me it means brilliant and charming) but don't call me late for dinner, especially when it's tasty street tacos! After seeing friends like Howie C. enjoy one of the hottest food trends in LA, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to make a pit stop at Papi's on my way back to OC. Honestly, after 5 pm it's slim pickins for new school birria throughout much of LA, but I saw the reviews and pictures of Papi Tacos & Churros and thought I'd give it a try. When you see a line in LA after 9 pm, usually that's a sign that there's good food to be had... especially if it's a multiethnic line! I pulled up less than a half hour before they closed and marveled at the red exterior of their building, perfectly matching the red tacos they were famous for serving. Upon a quick survey of their menu, it was obvious that the O.G. PLATE was the way to go. $12.99 for a taco, quesataco, mulita, quesadilla, and their signature consommé? C'mon, who wouldn't go for that? While there was a line of people 8 persons deep when I arrived, it took less than 15 minutes to get my meal. I open my styrofoam treasure box and gazed at a sea of red... a cornucopia of tortilla, beef, and cheese, with cut limes to bring out the flavor and a side of consommé to dip, dip, DIP. With an horchata to wash it all down and a few bucks for tip, it ended up being around $20 for this late night meal. The verdict? It was good, but not drive up from Orange County good. The beef was very delicious, especially in quesataco and mulita form with all the cheese, and dipping them in the consommé truly pushed the meal to another level... yet it didn't quite live up to the hype I was expecting. Tortilla, beef, and cheese usually come together to create a phenomenal combination, but honestly, it tasted like solidly executed comfort food but not much more. Pre-Covid, I would often organize food crawls through different communities in Southern California, usually focused on specific regions and types of ethnic cuisines; there have been many times people have suggested a fried chicken food crawl or a taco crawl. Now I LOVE fried chicken and I LOVE tacos... but the prospect of spending a few hours JUST eating one type of food item doesn't enthuse me. I've been to a few Tacolandias as well as other taco challenge events and eventually it gets exhausting. I'm not saying Papi's O.G. Plate was that, but I definitely was getting bored as I was nearing the end of my meal. Maybe I messed up by not getting a fried cheese Keto Taco or an order of their famous Churros? I would love to come back and try again, but like I said earlier, it doesn't quite justify a trip from OC and my brief sample of Birria Tacos compels me to try other places to see the difference. Hasta luego Papi... hopefully one day I'll find that biblioteca. read more

We were craving Mexican food while in Los Angeles and we decided to check out this place after seeing the reviews. We ended up getting the OG Burrito, tacos, and churros. Everything was so good, except the churros which were just okay. I've never had consome before but I found that it's really good when you drink some while eating the burrito. I also liked that the tortilla was cooked really well.
