So Good!!! We ordered Street Tacos - pork pastor, pork chorizo, and shredded chicken. All amazing! The grande burrito was great! Rice is good! Beans were very runny, but the flavor was great! I would definitely eat here again and recommend to friends! The employees were polite. All outdoor seating and everything was very clean. read more

Don't waste your money, go to the taco truck across the street it's cheaper and miles better. Beans and rice taste like they're from a bag, all extra toppings on a burrito are $1 other than beans rice and cheese and our burritos came with some weird pickled but somehow dry cabbage that's not listed on the menu read more

Papi's Rapido - Tacos Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Food is ok not the worst and also not the best at all... the drive through is convenient but staff has changed to weird attitudes..... salsa cups are half full if that and they charge for them so your paying for 2oz cup for less than a oz and make sure if you get the st taco you ask for lime because it's not extra but does not come with it unless you ask read more

My simple order of rice chicken and queso was somehow the grossest thing I've ever eaten. It somehow turned into a wet soup. I'm not for sure if the queso was watery or the chicken. It would've been easier to eat it with a straw. The service was fine nothing special. They have the dumbass Starbucks thing when you pay almost forcing you to tip. The food is already way over priced for what you're getting. Needless to say I will not return read more

Papi's Rapido - Mr review - Tacos Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

This place promises quick and vegetarian-friendly tacos. I was in a hurry for lunch, and they fit the bill. They have a drive-through, but I parked and walked up. The options were numerous, beans, vegetables, avocado, seasoned tofu. The three-taco deal I got included rice and beans. The tacos were quickly made, but had enough interesting fresh fixings and hot sauce. The rice and beans weren't great, with the rice being seasoned but rather dry and the beans being pureed but tasting a bit burned. A jarrito's drink charged me up. It wasn't amazing food, but it was what I asked for. read more

Papi's Rapido - Breakfast burrito 10/10 flavors going every where highly recommend we don't have this in Cincinnati. - Tacos Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

IF I COULD GIVE LESS STARS I WOULD. I have been eating here every now and then for about a year now. Tonight I ordered a vegan burrito like usual and my experience was absolutely terrible... They messed up my order twice and I waited over an hour for one burrito. When I got home I was eating my burrito and bit into something so hard I almost chipped my tooth. I FOUND A ROCK IN MY BURRITO! YUCK!! Update: a couple hours have past and my stomach is in a lot of pain! read more

My homemade tacos are much better. Almost no seasoning in the meat. Taco Bell has more seasoning in their meat.

Love a good local street taco spot but have given up on this place. Food was excellent the first time but greasy and sloppy since then. Service has ranged from friendly and wonderful to rude and annoyed people showed up. Last night was the second time I have arrived at least thirty minutes before closing only to sit in the drive thru for ten minutes and then have someone come out to say they are closed. read more

I wanted to like this place cuz I love street tacos, but after two visits, I'm at 2 stars. Honestly I'd try any random Lexington taco truck before I went back here. Pricing is very fair at 4 or 5 tacos for $10. And they have a decent selection of meats and taco types. But the flavors are just ok, and some of the meats were very salty. Felt like an average, fast-food version of authentic Mexican food. Service was friendly but awkard. The windows are staffed by college girls who don't know much about the food. Not terrible, but Lexington has better spots. Update: all three people who shared in this meal last night have significant stomach problems today! read more

This place is amazing! Great staff and delicious food! Very affordable as well. Would recommend!

I had lunch here for the first time and was excited because I love street tacos. I had the 5 street taco deal and it was fairly priced I thought. I am a person who doesn't mind a little grease but I found these to be a little to greasy for me even. Of the 5 I had I liked the chilli verde one the best. I felt like the others lacked flavor or seasoning. The tortillas were just ok at best. Was just ok to me. read more

Papi's Rapido - Street Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Always a fan of some street tacos. I love how good of a deal it is and how fast they make them! I recommend ordering through the pedestrian window than going through drive-thru. If you have not tried their queso yet... do yourself a favor and bless yourself. read more

The beef barbacoa street tacos were absolutely delicious. They were also very small. I ordered 2 and was not satisfied, needed 4-5. And I'm an average sized woman who wasn't trying to stuff myself. But an order of 5 costs $10 each. seems a little steep. But maybe not if you consider the overhead costs of their nice building, location, staff pay, and quality ingredients. The guac is not mild. Paid $6 for chips and guac (a pretty hefty portion of guac) and only got a couple bites out of it because it was too hot for me. I'm not a major wimp but I'm also not a masochist who wants lots of spicy just for the sake of it. I definitely think this place could be a go-to once I figure what what I need to order. (More tacos, no guac). I debated between 3 and 4 stars. I don't like to be harsh. But it just wasn't on the 4 star level for me this trip. I'll give it another try. read more

My husband and I love Papi's Rapido! Papi is usually there to greet us along with all of his amazing staff. I usually go for the street chicken tacos with guac and queso on the side. My husband gets the steak tacos --I don't think you can go wrong menu wise! They offer margs to go -- they usually have a lunch rush hour but we normally are there for a quick dinner pick up! read more

Excellent food! We love the tacos, tamales, sides and burritos!! The service is slower than traditional fast food, but based on the style of food it's quick overall. The building itself (bathrooms) need repaired. read more

We love Papi's and the Papi's Rapido doesn't disappoint! We had burritos, tacos, tamales, and chips and queso and it was all great. They were pretty rapido with preparation too! Great job !!! read more

Papi's now has three locations! Chevy Chase, Palomar and an exciting drive-thru option on South Broadway! Their grilled chicken tacos al carbon, street tacos, and chicken tortilla soup always makes a great dinner! Plenty for left overs the next day! Pro tip...grab the margs to go! Awesome patio and friendly staff! read more

This little spot is fire!!! Excellent service!! The food is A-MAZ-ING!!! I'm vegetarian and was super pleased but the wide variety of options! My favorite, as recommended by one of the workers is the hibiscus & Jamaica street tacos! The poblano & queso tamales are also delicious! A group of my coworkers and I, order from here once a week or so and the food is always hot, fresh, and the orders are correct! Highly recommend!!! read more

The worst tacos I have ever had anywhere. Got 4 Tex mex tacos. 3 ground beef & 1 pork pastor. Girl at window saw me put money in the tip cup but didn't say thank you then or when she gave us our food. That seems to be normal anymore everywhere. Drove about 5 minutes with sack in my lap then stopped to eat. Grease had soaked through the bag onto my pants. When unwrapped tacos the hard shells were so soggy they had separated at the bottom. Couldn't even pick them up. Had to eat with a fork. Only had a tablespoon or 2 of filling. Pork had several pieces that were only gristle. Will definitely not be going back. A dine in Papi's opening near my house but not sure if I'll try them or not. Anybody that would put out the quality of food I got must have pretty low standards read more

Favorite place! made to order, easy drive through, great breakfast burrito, everything. Try it

Solid vegan options. The tofu chorizo burrito...chefs kiss! Delicious! Their sauces are flavorful, especially the red spicy one. Yummy guacamole. I have yet to be disappointed and am so happy about the many vegan and vegetarian options. The staff is super friendly! I highly recommend and will continue to come back. Well done guys. read more

I feel like many of the negative reviews below don't understand what street tacos are. If you don't like corn tortillas, perhaps just leave that at a personal preference instead of reviewbombing a restaurant for giving you what you ordered? With that said, Papi's is a solid taco stand. Meat is flavorful, sauces pack the heat, and 2.50 a taco is a pretty good buy unless you're used to only buying from the Bell. The chips are mediocre but the queso is also tasty. Nothing tops Taqueria Ramirez for me, but it's great to have a good drive thru option for street tacos during this pandemic when going into small restaurants feel less comfortable. read more

We got a variety of street tacos and they were all delicious! My personal favorite - the chorizo. We also got guacamole, queso and to go margaritas all which were equally as good as the tacos! The service was quick & polite! We were very happy with our meal! read more

Not bad but far from my favorite taco. I ordered the 5 street taco combo with pastor,Chile verde and chorizo. All the options were decent but had weird sauces on them. The tortillas tasted store bought and were average. The outdoor seating is nice and the staff were friendly. I doubt I'll be back but maybe worth checking out of you're in the mood for tacos and are close by. read more

Over really good experience. I ordered chicken and asada street tacos and rice&beans. This is one of the few places that I really liked both the chicken and asada meat. Rice and beans was average but definitely not bad by any means; the rice was a little overcooked for my liking but I understand some people like their rice a little crunchy. I'll probably make the walk to come back here next time I'm in town. If your feeling like Mexican food I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

My wife and I love this place. We normally get the hibiscus tacos, rice, and guacamole. The food is Amazing and the service is great

Excellent customer service, food, location, and pricing. Honestly, super tasty food -- better than many places in Lexington -- and very economical. Margaritas and beer are incredibly well priced and tasty. Outside seating only. We had a variety of the tacos, a tamale, queso, chips and salsa. Excellent value for the money. Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent food and service. The pork adobo street taco was INCREDIBLE! Great guacamole and queso (generous portion!)!

Really good. I mean, really good. Don't hesitate. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor, skip the fast food and get this food, fast.

I ordered a lunch chicken burrito with diced onions and cilantro. The burrito was good, and a great size for lunch, but what really put it over the top for me was a really nice red salsa they included with my order. This salsa was incredible and complemented the burrito perfectly. And another thing worth noting, it was only $6 and I'm full. I ordered from the drive through on my lunch break. read more

Asked for beef barbacoa with cheese, cilantro and onions. Got pulled pork with cheese, hot sauce and salsa Verde. Not what I wanted... And $2 for a can of Kroger lemonade. Do all taco stands sell you corn tortillas? I hate them. Not going back. read more

Love the street tacos!! Food is delish! It's so good I even want to go there when I'm not that hungry so I can have some for later! Highly recommend! read more

I have eaten here several times recently. I ordered queso again today. It was like water. After 20 min it still was like water. I'm sure they rehydrated it. That tells me that the queso had to have been so old that they added water to keep it from clumping. I don't expect too much from a drive through taco stand. My issue is more that I have tried to contact them and they don't even answer the phone. It will be a long while before I try this place again. read more

Tacos to go, what a great idea! we drive here at least once a week and sometimes we get down and sit at their patio, the margaritas are really god with a nice kick, highly recommended! read more

the tacos are tasty , but they keep getting order wrong, the last 3 times i went there they did not put any queso on my tacos al carbon, i even asked the young lady and wheni got home no queso. i wont be going back read more

Okay food. The service was excellent. Ambiance was interesting. Had a good vibe. I'd try it again.

Went 45 min before they closed and at least 3 employees made eye contact with us outside but none of them acknowledged us standing there. We stood there for about 5 minutes while an employee was sitting in front of the window ignoring us. Finally we walked away and left. It's a shame this place is brand new and is already providing service like this. We Have come a few times since they opened and the employees always seem like they are annoyed we are there. The food also takes way too long to come out for a place that has Rapido in its name. The food is good but the service needs work. read more

I love this vegetarian/vegan friendly taco stand. They have multiple options for meat substitutes. The drive thru is always a quick and easy experience. read more
