Tasty tacos. Friendly & fast service. Amazing location just off Main Street with a view of the beautiful river and peace center. There's a parking lot right behind the restaurant, but if you're able a stroll down Main Street is always nice before or after a good meal. Take the sites of downtown or catch some live music. This, the original Papi's restaurant, is perfectly located. Along with your meal, you can take a stroll along the river, check out some art along Artist Row or take in some live music at Blues Boulevard Jazz. And if you plan ahead, you can catch a show at the Peace Center. read more

We sat outside overlooking the river and tried a couple of beef tacos with proper corn tortillas. There was plenty of seating inside, but the music was much too loud for us. Service was very good, beef tacos were passable. We will not be back. read more

Sad, sad tacos. I really wanted to like this place, but it was a big disappointment. The tacos were very small for the price, and overall not worth what we paid. We ordered al pastor, and the meat was extremely dry and lacked flavor. We spent over $70 on a few burritos and tacos, but our order was missing items that were supposed to be included--chips, beans, and rice. For families, a heads up: the kids' fish taco had bones in it. Customer service was also pretty subpar. There was no courteous greeting or even a quick intro, and we mentioned it was our first time there. It didn't feel welcoming, and combined with the food issues, it just wasn't a great experience. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Great food. Best fish taco I've ever had. Many menu options to choose from. Fast and friendly service.

My wife and I ate at Papis twice during our Greenville visit. The first night we found the ground beef and barbacoa chicken tacos delicious but small. The second night we found a barbacoa chicken burrito huge with seasoned rice and pico, only needing the red hot sauce to bring out the flavors. The metal tables and chairs are efficient ambiance for dining. The service was first rate with fast preparation and table delivery. Great tasting food with a river view! read more

Papi's tacos is located right on the river with a great view. The space inside is pretty limited and there are only a couple tables outside so it can sometimes be challenging to find seating on weekends. Service is quick and everyone working there was friendly. We ordered 6 different tacos and thought they were just okay - birria taco and pulled pork tacos were good, but all other tacos were pretty bland and didn't have much flavor. Tacos range from $4.5-6 which is on the pricier side and are pretty small, so you would need to order 3-4 depending on how hungry you are/ supplement with appetizers. I might try tortas next time instead of tacos, but probably not going to come back. read more

Papi's Tacos in Greenville has the perfect location--right by the river with cozy outdoor tables and umbrellas, making it an ideal spot for people-watching while enjoying some seriously delicious food. My husband and I both got a torta, and it was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the view. A huge shoutout to Nury, who made me one of the best homemade margaritas I've ever had! She confidently said they were the best in the area, and after tasting it, I 100% believe her. The service was impeccable, and the whole experience was top-notch. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and a perfect riverside setting! read more

Don't know what all these Karen's and Ken's are talking about this food being no bueno? Best mex we have had in awhile. We got the three taco Tuesday deal and it was stellar. One heck of a story about the founder coming from Mexico to pursue the American dream. Awesome staff too. If you have a brain and good taste you'd appreciate this place. Thank you Papi! read more

I come to Greenville once a year. I stay in the finest room, in the finest hotel. And when I tell you what I'm looking forward to ALL YEAR are those birria tacos at Papi's!!!

It's like going home when you're not even from there read more

Papis Tacos - Pastor, chicken and fish tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Service- staff were friendly but the POS system is garbage. Bring cash only here basically. 3/5 Ambience- very authentic vibe inside the restaurant and also feels bright. 4/5 Food- chips and salsa is very fresh, salsa got some heat and the chips are crispy. 4/5. Left to right is chicken taco, al pastor, and shrimp tacos. Chicken taco is very fresh and flavorful, corn tortillas warm and the chicken is packed with Mexican flavors. 4/5 Al pastor taco has very tender pork and has bold flavors. The onions and cilantro add another depth of freshness but the pineapple doesn't exactly work as well. 3.5/5. Shrimp taco is very bright and is the most fresh of all! However, the shrimp could use some more flavor. 3.75/5. Lastly, don't forget the Jarritios Mandarin to wash it down. read more

Loved this place! The food was authentic, fresh, and super tasty! There is indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor is better here, IMO, particularly on a nice day, because it's along the river boardwalk. I honestly didn't expect that I'd find good and authentic Mexican-style street tacos in SC. This place proved me wrong. I ordered 6 kinds: al pastor, chicken and chorizo, cactus and refried beans, fried fish, chicken barbacoa, carnitas; and I also got the guacamole and chips, and the horchata drink. The only taco that I wasn't too excited about was the cactus; it was a bit bland. My favorite taco was the fried fish (I'm not even a fish person and I liked it!). The guacamole also was excellent! Then, to top it off, the service was incredibly kind. Everyone from the owner, servers, to cleaning crew were super kind and hospitable. You could tell they all genuinely care about working there. And, according to the owner, they have been going strong in the same location for 8 years! I would definitely come back!! read more

I felt like I was back in Cancun, the only thing missing was the tequila and cocaine lol. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and authentic.

Disclaimer: this isn't for this establishment, but rather for Local Honey Coffee (who don't got a yelp account, get to it). So we fully understand if this gets taken down. First off hats off to the chef, strawberry matcha was deli ( tasted like strawberry milk). Music was at a 10.. and that's just talking about the volume. Everything was fine, everything good until brownie came and attacked us. Beware of cats. And to add to the PTSD of the attack, there was pictures of cats all over the bathroom wall. read more

i would eat papis for every single meal if i could. I walk there from my apartment atleast twice a week. I get the tacos de asada (solo onion y cilantro). Also, I just got my roommate addicted to it. Our main obsession? the sauces. Get both of the green sauces-avocado & jalapeño! I come for the tacos, but I stay for the people. Each employee knows my roommate & I's order by heart, fav sauces and all. I don't even wanna know how much I've spent here. All I gotta say is, I can't wait for payday! thank yall for everything and I'm sure I'll see you tomorrow read more

Solid street taco sort of vibe. Definitely worth checking out! Great place to chill on the porch and enjoy the tacos.

Why not try a restaurant when they advertise a special like "taco Tuesday?!". Forewarned that the Tuesdays tacos are a bit smaller than the regular tacos, I headed the advice and ordered three. All three of the the tacos were quite good. There's a variety of sauces to choose from. The kind gentleman at the register provided me 3 of them, free of charge. Refried beans and cactus taco, chicken Barbacoa taco, and chicken and Carissa taco were what I chose. All three of them were very good. Keep in mind they were quite a bit smaller than if it wasn't a $2 or $3 special night. Was hoping the refried beans and cactus taco would stand out, it was good but nothing particularly special. Ordered some chips and guacamole as an "app". The chips were fresh and plentiful, the guacamole was plentiful but too many onions for my taste. A good place to try out especially on a taco Tuesday evening. read more

We stopped here while in Greenville. The guacamole was not impressive and was a super small serving. For the price charged Papis taco should have offered a bigger portion of guacamole. The sides of salsa we got for our meals were not full containers and were only filled halfway. For our entrees we ordered the al pastor burrito and the chicken and chorizo torts. The burrito was a nice size and tasted good, especially with the avocado salsa. The torta was also a good size and had a good taste. Overall, this place is a bit pricey and some of the serving sizes are small for what you are paying. The tacos are expensive as well. The cashier was not wearing her mask properly and only pulled the mask over her mouth to help us. I know there is a plastic barrier, but that still is unsafe. The male bus boy/order runner was not wearing his mask properly and did not have his nose covered by the mask either. He comes close to patrons inside and outside and should be wearing a mask correctly. There was also a patron waiting in line to order who was not wearing a mask correctly and the staff did not do anything about it read more

Tacos were very good but more expensive than most other taco places. We spent $60 (before tip) for 3 people - 5 tacos, 1 quesadilla, 2 street corn, a side of chips and cheese sauce, no drinks. Service was very friendly and quick. It's a small place but located along the river so nice ambience. We'd go again but keep in mind it's not the most economical taco option around. Lovely location though. read more

This is a great taco spot. I went to their new location. It isn't too pricey and is perfect for lunch.
