Yeah this food is A1. Sooo my favorite food is mexican food and not the bland kind. I need the flavors and all the non gringo toppings. Papi grill had all the meat types and stylings that you would expect to see even nopales! I ordered the narco's as I was craving nachos and these nachos didn't disappoint! I will definitely return to try they tacos and other dishes. I hope they have flautas and sopes on the menu! read more

Pivoted to lunch at Papi's Grill on Tuesday afternoon. Excellent and reasonably priced Mexican food take-out. Quality: Papi's Grill is just solid and affordable Mexican food, and all the locals know it. I ordered a delicious Carne Asada Burrito, the steak on it was perfection, and each bite was fantastic. I also had a few bites of a Carne Asada Torta, which was too much bread for me, but the flavor was still solid. The Chips & Guac is a must, very creamy guacamole. Quantity: Massive portions for every item. Value: $13 for a Carne Asada Burrito. $9 for a Torta. $9 for Chips & Guac. Ambiance: Papi's Grill is located in Park Slope. Even though they have a dining area, when I visited every single person was crowded around the take-out section. The open kitchen displaying the food was incredible to watch. They are incredibly efficient and everything they put together looked delicious. Crowd: Constant bustling lunch crowd. Service: Extremely fast at filling orders. Parking: Limited street parking. read more

I hesitate to add a review, but my experience was very disappointing. I ordered the enchiladas with guac and pico de gallo as extras. The food had some "heat" but overall was bland and soggy. Perhaps they reacted to the negative reviews of being dry, but seemed like they added water to refried beans. The rice was blah, and the tortillas were soaked?! with what I don't know. I've never had soggy enchiladas before. It was as if they had made everything the day before and threw them into the microwave to heat up. To each his own. Don't think I'll be back. read more

I was craving nachos all day so i ordered from here for the first time for pick up. The place is small but it has a good amount of seating. I was kind of expecting more from how good these nachos look but they we're still pretty good. I think it was lacking because there was barely any cheese. read more

Enticed by a GrubHub discount, I ordered delivery for lunch today. The menu offerings are pretty typical for a Mexican restaurant: tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas. I picked a couple of things that sounded interesting and placed the order. The delivery time wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast, either. First, the chicken burrito. Fairly filling, with lots of rice and beans, but there could have been more chicken. I opted to include pico de gallo and jalapeños (no upcharge for those add-ons). After a liberal dousing of salsa verde, the burrito was quite passable. I had one taco al pastor, and it was delicious, easily the high point of the meal. Based on another Yelper's recommendation, I also had a ground beef taco, which was decent, though I didn't really get the hype. For $3 each, the tacos are a healthy size. There's a lot of cheap eats in South Slope, providing endless variety for delivery options. Yes, I feel a little gluttonous about it, but the convenience honestly rocks my socks. If you're craving Mexican, you could probably do worse than Papi's Grill. If you try hard, however, you could definitely do better. read more

It's easy to be average Mexican food but it is very hard to be superb and authentic. Papi's Grill has a phenomal food and a reasonable price. It captures the classic authenticity you want from your local Mexican restaurant but can cater to any taste bud. The portions are above average. Highly recommend the chicken hurache which has a tangy flavoring that softly folds into the tortilla. Also perhaps a bit american but try the ground beef taco---beats any fast food taco for the same price. Plus this place "fits" in a neighborhood that is quickly moving towards luxury eateries and condos. In the day of $10 designer tacos, Papi, is worth the price and the food is worth more.

Possibly the WORST customer service in all of Brooklyn for delivery orders--and I don't say that lightly. I've been ordering food from Papi's Grill since 2015... back then, the food was good and the customer service was even better. But over the last year or so, every time I call in for a delivery it goes like this: 'ring ring ring ring ring .... ring ring ring ... [no answer/hang up/dial again] ring ring ring ring ring'... [finally answering the 2nd or 3rd call] "Papi's Grill". "Yes, I'd like an order for delivery"... "Ok, hold on". At which point, the telephone is placed on the counter and for the next 5-12 minutes I listen to them taking orders of any and all customers at the counter, handing out orders, providing utensils, hot sauce, asking them if they need anything else.... Finally, after every single in-person customer has been taken care of, they finally pick up the phone. "Ok, what is your order". NOTE: At this point, I've been ignored for sometimes up to 12 minutes. (12 minutes doesn't sound long, but try holding your breath for 12 minutes and then tell me it's not that long.) Anyway, after they finally pick up, there is never an "I'm sorry for your wait", or "we're very busy today", nothing. Just "What's your order". Over the course of the past year, this happened nearly every time I called in for a delivery. I can't tell you how long I've waited for them to pick up and take my order... hours, days, months... time off of my life that I'll never get back. I must admit, I was confused by this because "FREE DELIVERY" is printed in large white letters on their awning, so obviously it's something they encourage. Last week, after being put on hold... then hung up on... calling back, put on hold again and being ignored for a grand total of 14 minutes, I'd had enough. So when they finally picked up, I asked... "Why did you put me on hold TWICE? And why so long? It sure doesn't make me want to order food from your restaurant.".... She said "We have customers that we have to take care of." I said "I can hear that, but don't you realize that I AM A CUSTOMER TOO? I am calling you to order your food and pay you for it." She said, and I quote, "But your order will take longer". It was at that exact moment I realized that they know nothing about customer service, nor do they seem to care about retaining customers. It was also at that exact moment, after 8 years, I decided to end my patronage of Papi's grill. Why I put up with this s#!%%y service for so long, I really don't know... the food is good, but not THAT good.... must have just been habit I guess. So.... adios Papi's Grill ... I give you 3.5 stars for Food and 0 stars for Service. [And p.s., if you don't want customers paying over the phone by credit card, maybe you should STOP TAKING CREDIT CARDS for delivery orders instead of giving them attitude and telling them you'll have to call them back "later" to take their order & credit card number! Seriously, WTF?] read more

food was great and fresh, came out in 5-10 minutes. the chips were crunchy and the green salsa was amazing. the lady at the counter was extremely kind even with my poor pronunciation of the food. the store in general however was hot and a bit uncomfortable , with limited seating but it wasn't terrible. read more

This is the best Mexican food to go in Park Slope. Guess what??? It's super affordable. When I worked in Park Slope, my colleague introduced me to this place and I love him for it. The chicken cemita and the carne asada platter are my favorites. Honestly, everything I tried here was great. The meat has the perfect combination of salt and spice to give it that authentic kick. Even though I no longer work in Park Slope, I still grab food from here if I am in the area. read more

Highly recommend for some cheap and quick Mexican food! I called in for take-out and they told me my order would be 5 minutes to prepare. I ordered the steak tostada $3.50 along with chips with guac $5.50. The portions are such a good deal for the price they charge. They also have seating on the side for those who wish to eat-in. Would definitely return! read more

Love them!!! They mind their business and keep it professional. The food is great an the have vegan options

I just got a plater from this restaurant and found a long hair in my salad , it was awful . I had to throw away the whole plater , 16 dollars in the trash . My son ordered the chicken and they were so dry . Never again Waisting my money at this place . read more

Consistently great. Park Slope's go-to for take away Mexican. Notable that our negbourhood kids all adore them too. No frills. Solid menu.

Just ordered for take out. The Al Pastor Torta tasted good but had close to no meat on it. For $9.00 a total rip off. I try to support and boost up local businesses but overall very disappointing... read more

Will no longer eat here. I went to buy a "kids lunch special" with a toddler and they told me it's only for "school kids" as if 2 year old don't need to eat lunch. And their sign says nothing about age limitations. Very frustrating when you plan to have lunch out and have to leave with a hungry toddler. Decided to go to chipotle where they let us have their KIDS SPECIAL! read more

Love this place! One of the only places in the neighborhood that still serves authentic Mexican food. I live downtown and the Mexican restaurants over there have nothing on this place. I had the grilled steak platter with beef fried beans. The steak was so juicy and tender, it was cooked to perfection. The beans were soft and very tasty, and it was all fresh. And on top of all that the staff were very friendly and polite, so kudos to them :) I will definitely be back here!!! read more

My absolute favorite tacos in Park Slope. Solid vegetarian options, plus all day breakfast! Every taco I've ordered has been super tasty, but especially recommend "papi's taco." Great selection of salsas/sauces. Fast and pleasant delivery as well. read more

I've been to Mexico and this is by far the best Mexican food I have ever feasted on! So damn good! You're missing out if you haven't eaten here! The people are super nice too! Love you Papi's!! read more

I wish I didn't sleep on this place for so long until I finally tried it, I wasted many years in Park Slope eating subpar, over-priced Mexican until this! So many meat options, hugeeeee tacos. Great burritos, quick delivery, always fresh and correct. I will say they could have better chips, but honestly, all I need are tacos. Go for the steak and beef barbacoa, you won't regret it. And the spicy chicken. read more

Absolutely the best fish tacos I've ever had! Service is always pleasant with a smile and very welcoming. read more

Delicious breakfast tacos- loved them. And the seasoning on the rice and beans was perfect.

Great staff, quick service and great food! It's a quick pickup taco place and they do it great. We've had misses a few times but on the whole they try hard and it pays off. read more

The Torta bread wasn't as good as it used to be. It used to have a crunch & was soft on the inside. On my recent visit it was meh. We asked for half the torta, with our remaining green sauce in the little plastic container, to go. When my son got home with it there was no sauce :(....and about that sauce...when first served it was very cold and solidified, as if it had recently been removed from the freezer. Dang Papi; I wanted to love you more. read more

Easily one of the best joints in park slope! The al pastor taco hits the spot every time. Order 3 tacos- not because they are small but because you will be sad if you only get 2 and can't eat more. read more

Papis grill has lost me as a customer. Their customer service is atrocious. I placed an order for pick up and decided to walk my dog. Understandably, they have a no pet policy in which I abided by. I called and politely asked if someone inside of the establishment could please bring my food to the door which is only a few feet away from their counter and I would gladly meet them. I was told to leave my dog tied up in which I explained I could not as my dog has temperament issues. They proceeded to give me unnecessary attitude. I had to call again in order to retrieve my food in which the manager gave me more attitude and disrespect. I have lived in the neighborhood for years now and have never been treated this way. I was a loyal customer here but will no longer help support a business that treats their customers this way. read more

Better than chipotle and better prices and more authentic. All the stuff is good and feels like you are in sunset park or even better Oaxaca! The major problem is not with the food but that they always have the basement gate open and you can't walk past the block safely read more

I go here almost everyday during work (pre pandemic). I usually get the nachos and fish tacos but everything is fire there, EVERYTHING

The best burrito my husband and I have ever had! We get the chicken tinga burrito and add some chipotle mayo. Delish! We sometimes walk from Crown Heights just to get a burrito here. Wonderful! read more

I have been to Papis Grill multiple times. Anytime I want Mexican food this is where I like to come. I always get the Carne Asada bowl & it comes with 2 hand made corn tortillas, which are delicious! I hate flour tortillas so this is a huge plus for me. Both the refried beans and the black beans are delicious & the steak itself is so flavorful. Ive also had the picadita which I love. Highly recommended if you want some authentic Mexican food. read more

Great food, great price, delivered fast - first time customer and very impressed. Will be ordering again

Very nice meal for my family of 4. Found a groupon deal and was amazed to get so much food. Groupon has done me dirty in the past but this time redemption was found! Good flavor, not muddle very clean and fresh. Small eating area but we found some seating. I would definitely return for casual delicious Mexican food. read more

I'm liking this place. It's a good example of decent Mexican food. I'm not going to lead Chowhound tours here or anything but I would definitely come back if in the mood for good Mexican. In Park Slope, people have really weird ideas about what Mexican and Thai food is, or perhaps have had their senses dulled by years of mediocre garbage. I was scared about the mentions of powdered cheese and cheese whiz, but as it turns out, this place is using the authentic stuff, meaning crema and añejo cheese. I had the spicy pork torta, which was well flavored and brought me back to the tortas of my Southern California youth. I also got the picadito based on a Yelp shout-out -- I'd never had one. It's pretty awesome that they make the tortilla right there. It was a very tasty tortilla! The tinga was too bland for my tastes but I'd try the other toppings. In short, come for the tacos, cemitas, or tortas (Mexican food) and perhaps skip nachos and burritos and other less authentico stuff. read more

My new local favorite. The quality of their carnitas is the best in the neighborhood, and I love the fresh horchata.

Stopped in here today after noticing it for the first time yesterday. Not sure how long this place has been here. I had a vegetarian cemita. I've never actually had a cemita before because normally there isn't a vegetarian option at places that serve them, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I liked it! I'll definitely stop back to try the fish tacos. I saw someone get them and they looked so good. read more
