BOMB.COM!!! It was my first time trying Papi's Birria and let me just say... I was blown away! I…read moreordered the quesabirria, asada tacos, and the asada fries, and everything was SO GOOD. You can truly tell the tacos were made with love. Not only did they look amazing, but the flavor was absolutely impeccable. I'm normally the type to take a picture before eating, but these didn't stand a chance -- I devoured the tacos before I could even think about grabbing my phone. Next time I'll definitely get a picture because I'll 100% be ordering again! The asada fries were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, and the portions were great. On top of that, the owner Ivan was so personable and genuinely appreciative of the support, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic, flavorful tacos. Can't wait to come back!!!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the food items, as they all taste like seafood you'd find down in Mexico too. The one thing that I don't like is that they don't have prices listed on their menu. I ended up ordering the aguachile, and honestly I didn't know how much I was paying for it till after I got my receipt. By the time I saw it, I felt like the portion was not worth the price.

We were initially aiming for the crispy shawarma however only Mira Mesa and La Mesa does it. So I guess that's next on our list! The wraps were unexpectedly big! This is probably the biggest wrap I ever had! Generous with meat and veggies. Their wagyu egg rolls are definitely must have! Falafel fries is really good too! All of these perfectly paired with their garlic sauces. My favorite is spicy lemon garlic! The staff are very knowledgeable about their menu. It's a food truck set up and there's mini standing tables for alfresco dining. SG was definitely lived up to the title #1 restaurant in the country on Yelp!

Not really an ambience since there's not much as far as a dining room. There are a couple of cocktail tables where you could eat. After ordering online at 20:20pm, my estimated pick up time was 8:39pm and got the order at 9:03pm. The cashier informed me their chicken is taking a while and added extra time to the wait. It probably would've been faster if they weren't so backed up. I ordered the Wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate for me and my wife to share. I added 3 falafels and pita bread on top of it. The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.

I highly recommend pairing this with the chipotle sauce, which is offered along with all of the other sauces. The Battered Fish Taco and Tuna Ceviche Tostada is also a must. Every time I have visitors to San Diego and they want authentic Mexican Food I take them to Oscar's. I won't eat my fish tacos anywhere else! This place is definitely a local establishment. Note that parking is tight in the parking lot, but you can also park on the street around the corner. The food is worth the search for a spot if the lot is full. This eatery is legit!

Oscar's came highly recommended by a bunch of SD locals. I've been here three times and it hits…read moreevery time. Some highlights: -Mixto Ceviche: ceviche with shrimp and fish. Comes in a personal sized cup and can be shared as a group or as part of your entree. -Grilled Octopus/Pulpo Taco: I'm always a little hesitant about grilled octopus because it's hard to prepare and can end up being really chewy. It was grilled perfectly here! The chunks were big enough so you get the squid flavor. It also comes with a sweet/spicy sauce which was unexpected but really yummy. -Battered Fish Taco: my favorite dish! Huge flaky piece of fish that's fried really well. Not too much rough and you can really taste the fish. -Chips and Guac: fresh made guac! Get it as a side order and you can add to your tacos too. It can get really busy here. Our food took longer than expected and you have to wait around for a table too. Parking lot can be a hit or miss. Try to come during off hours!

However to be fair, I think it was an understandable decision on PR's part to pre-cook a bunch of pizzas to quickly serve a large lunch crowd. Again, it was understandable, but maybe not the best decision. This time PR was back, and because it wasn't a free pizza party, they were serving up several of their pastas, which I had heard were better than their pizza. Well, my coworker was right...the pasta was much better than the pizza. I went with the truffle mac and cheese that came with a small piece of bread and a soda for $5. Keep in mind, that $5 deal was simply because my employer subsidized the rest of the cost. The pasta was cooked nice and al dente and the ground mushroom sauce was creamy and delicious. I appreciated that they served it with some additional S&P, and I liked the added parmesan on the dish as well. Unfortunately though, the "truffle" was only from added truffle oil that was really lacking in this dish. The mac was tasty but it was really missing that truffle flavor. Although the pre-cooked pizza was a big miss for me, the mac and cheese helped PR redeem themselves. Thanks PR! Overall 3.5 stars!

The pasta ended up being overcooked which sucked. No one likes over cooked pasta. Also the sauce didn't exactly coat the pasta. It basically was pasta swimming in sauce but when you picked up a piece of pasta there was no sauce on it. I feel like this business has potential and prob didn't make great food since there were a lot of ppl ordering, but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I placed my order without even calling to see if Papi's was open today (Memorial Day). After confirming the place was open, I had to get my issue. I lived in Japan for 7 &1/2 years and I've been to the Hawaiian Islands about a dozen times. I can honestly say that Papi's is not far off from the originators. The food smelled and tasted terrific! I was impressed and drooling on my ride home lol! Even though the amount of shrimp I actually (6) got didn't match the photo from Door Dash page (12), it didn't matter because it was all worth it. The owner was nice and friendly and you can tell he cares about the quality of comida he puts out. 8/10

I got the chicken and steak with fried rice and a side of egg rolls. The portions were good and definitely filling. The chicken was tender, steak was cooked well, and everything had good flavor without being too heavy. The fried rice had that classic buttery taste with egg and veggies, and the egg rolls were crispy and fresh. Service was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly. It's a food truck so nothing fancy, but the setup was clean and it had a chill, casual vibe. Overall just a good, reliable spot when you want something quick and satisfying. I'd go back.
