Huge OG burrito. Be prepared for an oily mess and a food coma. Will be back!
Wonderful place to eat and engage in good conversation because of the atmosphere/setting. Staff extremely polite and friendly. Food is definitely worth the visit ! I frequent the Wilshire location in Santa Monica every time i get the desire for next level Mexican Food . 🏆🏆🏆
I honestly thought this place might be a tourist trap given the location, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous for the prices. Definitely exceeded my expectations.
Food was great. Although they didn’t offer a lot of customizations, which I guess is customary these days. I asked for the burrito not to be wrapped and be offered as a plate, and it was refused. They agreed to take out the rice due to my request though. Parking, like all of Santa Monica, can be hard.
Never disappoints!
La birria es buena y el burrito de asada tambien
Purée vraiment excellent ce truc aussi
Damn that was good I took it to go and ate on the beach Great night
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Papi Tacos & Churros is an amazing spot for Mexican street food! The tacos were flavorful and satisfying, and the churros were a delicious treat. Everything was fresh and well prepared, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere and a wonderful overall experience—I’d definitely come back again!
Very good tacos, I got the taco dorado (3) with chicken. Spicy but delicious and the seating on the third promenade was a lovely touch.
Très bonne cuisine et prix raisonnables
Love this place, very tasty food and filling. My new go to spot in LA
If you’re anywhere near the 3rd Street Promenade, this spot is an absolute must. Drove down specifically for it and it was worth every minute of traffic - hands down some of the best, flavor-packed street food in LA. My friend and I split the OG Platter, which comes stacked with four huge, crispy-fried tacos, ... salsa, and rich consommé. Every single bite was incredible, but the consommé is non-negotiable. Whatever you order, you have to get the consommé to go with it. Dipping those golden tacos into that rich broth takes everything to another level. Phenomenal food, huge portions, and unbelievable flavor. Don't skip it if you're in Santa Monica! Read More
