Papi Tacos & Churros

No frills tacos. But the tacos were very delicious and authentic. I was amazed by the flavours. There were multiple reviews raving that it resulted in multiple visits.. I ll definitely be revisiting them again before I leave LA. The grill steak tacos is the best!

Driving all around the west side of the U.S stopping as many places along the way. Came to L.A for a concert and decided we had to find some good tacos before the show. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! Had to go back for a second round. They even have a parking lot which was a plus. Hortchata was delightful. We tried all the meats, yummm!

This place is so good we went here 3 times while working in the area, everything we got was amazing, the flavor of the chicken is the best we’ve ever had in tacos. His favorite is the quesataco, and I loved the cup of corn which sells out often. Wish this place was everywhere it’s that good!!

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! The tacos were packed with flavor, the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, and everything tasted super fresh. Loved the halal options too it’s not easy to find spots like this. Friendly service and a clean, welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back for more!

Tried Papi Tacos while in LA and it was seriously delicious! The tacos were packed with flavor and super fresh. The meat was tender, the toppings were on point, and the salsas added just the right kick. Great spot for a quick and satisfying bite.

Our first food stop in LA was a taco place that serves halal tacos. The Bria tacos were one of the best I’ve had—so juicy and flavorful. I also got a burrito, which was huge but delicious. I just wished they had displayed halal signs, but upon asking, I was told it’s halal and to check their website for more information.

Wow! This place is so absolutely delicious. Best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico City. The birria soup dip is incredibly tasty, you’ll be slurping it to the last drop. We each got the OG Special which comes with taco, quesataco, quesadillas and motulitas also includes the birria all in one. I highly recommend it. We tried chicken and beef both were so flavorful but beef won for me.

Delicious Halal tacos and quesadillas in the heart of Hollywood. There are other branches too. Birria tacos and carne asada, along with chicken, are the options, as well as regular Mexican soft drinks, like Jarritos and horchata.

SO GOOD I came here with two friends and here's what we ordered: - OG Burrito with beef (2x) - OG Plate - Churro with chocolate sauce I haven't always been a big fan of birria but this place really changed my mind. The consomne comes in paper hot cups + lids so it's really convenient to take to-go if you don't finish. Everything came out relatively quickly on trays and included a couple lime and radish slices. The outdoor seating patio is great and they even have heaters when it gets colder. The perfect area to enjoy your food and have a nice chat with friends. I was able to finish everything from the OG Plate order by myself.. I was either really hungry or it's just that good! The staff was friendly and the place was well maintained and clean. They even have a restroom located at the outside of the establishment. You just have to ask and they'll give you the key.

Ordered the OG burrito with beef birria, large quesadilla with birria and churro with dulce de leche. I'm not a big fan of birria in general but this place was pretty good! It's a simple menu and the main focus seems to be birria. The consomne was pretty good - flavorful but not too heavy. The quesadilla was thiccc with cheese which was a lil too cheesy for my liking and needed more onion but still really good! The churro was a little doughy but p good overall!

Alright, alright, alright--there's just something special about a place with a simple menu. To me, that means they've perfected every item, and this spot delivers. My partner and I came here last year, and let me tell you--it was so good. We had the Birria taco and burrito, and it was so delicious we even drank the Birria broth. Where do I even start? The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the beef was juicy and tender, and every bite was packed with flavor. On top of that, the inside was clean, and the staff was super nice. When a place gets the basics this right, you know it's the real deal. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

They have great birria tacos and burritos. When you order them, they give you consome so you can dip your food in, which adds extra flavor to the food. You have to order your food before sitting down. The staff are quick to take your order and make the food. There is plenty of outside sitting enough for large parties.

This is a great place. It was our first time to go and we were starving after a fun night at American Idol. We had everything on the menu and it was all fantastic! We will be back! Quesataco what?????

Food is bussin, staff is mid. Unhappy as hell. Wishing them the best of luck. Won't be back

I'm obsessed with this place. Hands down best birria tacos in town and the consome is a 10/10 I could drink it. It's a small menu but you still have many options, the burrito is great when you're super hungry bc it's huge. The churros are also amazing. There's a few parking spots and plenty of outdoor seating. However the service is not that great. The guy who took our order was a bit rude and seemed to not want to be there but ordering is quick so it wasn't a long interaction. Food is def worth it tho

Mind-blowing. We found this halal Mexican spot on our second day in LA and proceeded to have our next 4 meals from here; it's that good. They have 3 meats to choose from (birra, chicken, carne asada) - we tried all of them with the burritos and plates (which come with one each of taco, mulita, quesidilla), and they're all delicious! Portions are enormous, prices very reasonable, and clean seating. Staff was very friendly too. Would highly recommend the birra and smoked chicken in particular, with their burritos being absolutely stuffed.

TL:DR I'd rather go a few blocks up to Hollywood Blvd or Sunset and find good tacos The food is not good. Staff is all over the place. The place is just not what it could be. There's one cashier working for a line literally out the door. She's very sweet but doesn't pay attention and forgets to input items or inputs them wrong. We ordered some tacos, drinks, and few add ons. My friend wanted avocado in his burrito, but when we got the food, the avocado was added to two of my tacos. We told her we wanted two horchatas but she only rang me up for one. When we asked for the second one, she rang us up again. Food looked decent and I like that they give consome with each order but the consome isn't good so it's just a waste. The quesa birria tacos barely have any cheese and the tortillas are falling apart. The birria is soft but bland. The asada tacos were dry and fatty. The consomme was just straight grease. I know birria is typically a greasy anyway but a good place knows how to enhance the flavor through the broth. The horchata was watery and bland.

I was in the mood for crispy tacos & this place didn't disappoint. I got a hard shell taco ($2.75) with birria & a soft shell chicken taco. Comes with limes & radishes. The tacos are street size & absolutely delicious. Shared parking lot with Winchell's Donuts. Great customer service.

Today I sent my husband to get me some tacos and the young lady was coughing so much with a bad attitude. He asked if she was alright and she said was smart mouthed so he politely said have a nice day and left no tacos for me n my baby.

Papi and Teddys red tacos are my favorite birria spots in all of LA! The consume is always so good you can almost drinkin it straight! The OG Burrito is almost my go to with birria of course! Some of the hottest but tastiest roasted hot sauce comes with it and make sure you have enough napkins cause right when you think you do, you'll need more! Papi always leaves me so full but worth it every single time to make the drive off Vine! If you're looking for good birria in LA, look no further cause this is the spot for you!! Don't sleep on the churros either! 10/10

Our first food stop in LA was a taco place that serves halal tacos. The Bria tacos were one of the best I've had--so juicy and flavorful. I also got a burrito, which was huge but delicious. I just wished they had displayed halal signs, but upon asking, I was told it's halal and to check their website for more information.

First time having Birria! We got the large birria quesadilla and birria burrito. Super tasty, liked the quesadilla the most. The burrito was mainly just rice so flavor kind of disappeared a bit. The salsa that comes with it was rly good too, great spice level.

You already know that I must make a point of visiting this place every time I'm in town. The tacos with the consome are simply delicious.

Very limited menu, only 2 protein options but choice of taco, cheese taco, multias, quesadilla or burrito. The food came out pretty quick, but we quickly noticed the burritos were fully folded. Luckily the cheese held it together ok, but sauces and consumme were dripping down our hands. They had a lot of napkins at each table, but no hand sanitizer which would've been very nice. The food itself was solid, the salsa especially was amazing. The consumme was good, we drank some for fun. Overall a solid option with good parking. DAY AFTER UPDATE: took off a star because this definitely messed up my stomach. If your diet isn't already a ton of meat cheese and beans you're gonna end up in the bathroom for a while.

I live nearby Papi's and had been wanting to try for a while and it didn't disappoint! I got the OG plate with beef which had a variety of items including a taco, quesadillas, mulita, quesaraco, and burria. I liked how it allows you to try a variety of types. The plate was delicious and I loved dipping them in the burria! They had a cozy little outdoor seating area with a fireplace but I ended up taking it to go! I'll definitely be back again :)

Excellent and flavorful! The birria and churros were fantastic! The customer service was great too. I'll different be back on a sunny day. There's plenty space outside to enjoy the food!

Really good, food was great fresh and delicious, the og plate gives you a taste of everything if your decisive. Service was good if you're not sure what you want can give you recommendations, and good energy. The place was clean and a nice spot to eat.

Amazing food and vibe. It is outdoor seating so was a little chilly. Food was really yummy! 5 out of 5 for food.

Just stopped at Papi Taco on my lunch break and I have to now mourn all of the years I've been working nearby and haven't stopped into this place!!!!:'( I had 3 birria quesatacos, small consomé, and a churro and everything was amazing! Some of the best birria tacos I've ever had! They are street size so I'd suggest ordering 3 or 4 tacos per person, but the small consome was plenty for me to split with another person. The churro was also the die for, crispy outside with a soft middle. Probably one of the best I've had! It was really easy to order at the counter and only waited a few minutes for our food. They also have a small parking lot if you're driving here and there's plenty of street parking in the area. I will definitely be coming back here!

I have been to this location twice and I really like it! First time I went I wanted to try a variety of their tacos and each one I tried was delicious! The asada taste delicious and not cheap. The chicken was also great. The birria was amazing as well! The second time visit I had a burrito with asada, beans, rice and cilantro. If you're Mexican like me, you're not used to burritos with sour cream and cheese, but I'm sure that taste great, just wanted to feel at home. The burrito came with consume, and oh em geee it's mind blowing delicious! Their salsas also taste amazing, not watered down or lacking flavor. The people on the register both times have also been helpful and nice.

My grandson and I were going to a new venue for a show and what is better than trying new eateries. My grandson, Buddy, was insistent that he wanted Mexican food. As we drove along he looks at all the restaurants and waits and waits until he finds Papi Churro, a new restaurant, that is mostly outdoors ( fully enclosed beautiful patio with a fire pit). but it has a large indoor ordering section. They are a street food type Mexican restaurant and they have a decent, but not huge selection. You walk in and order at the counter. You pay and they start straight away making your meal. We ordered a lot of food so we could really try everything. Once your food is ready you can take it to go or eat in the really pretty enclosed patio right out the doors. The service is really nice. Everyone there is super friendly and will help you with the menu. We loved their quesadillas and the churros. We also had rice and beans with avocado on the side and a burrito as well as chicken tacos. All of it was made right in front of us and all of it was so fresh. It really is great Mexican Street Food. Now, for me, it was a tad too spicy so if you don't like spice go elsewhere. But other than that it was truly great and I will be back, just mindful of what I can't eat. You will love it. Parking is free and easy in their lot. The prices are fair, not cheap. The service, again, is perfect, Have fun.

So, I'm an old school fan of this place since they were in South LA back in the day. I've been supporting them from day one. Their signature items are their red consommé dipped taco shells and their delicious Birria and Smoked Chicken. It's such a simple and tasty menu. And you know what they say. If it ain't broke DON'T FIX IT. But for some reason, they decided to recently change the entire preparation of the Chicken Tacos without any notification to customers or any update to their actual menu to let folks know about these changes. To my extreme dismay, last time I ordered I received a box of chicken tacos with regular bland white tacos shells, undipped, and covered in some green jalapeño salsa that had a slightly creamy consistency that I hated. I thought they had somehow messed up my order, but nope, that's their new way of serving the chicken tacos for some strange reason. Why would you do this?! You've been serving them one way for years and now you decide to make them a new way without updating your menu. What if I'm allergic to that salsa...what if I would prefer the tacos dipped like I've always had them...why not give customers at least a heads up on the menu that your preparation has changed so they can request dipped shells and no green sauce, like always. And currently on the delivery apps, they have it restricted so you can't even add a note to say please don't put the new salsa on my tacos or please dip my shells. It's disappointing for longtime customers. I can get a white shell chicken taco at a million places in LA...if you've hit on something special don't screw it up. Give people options to order these tacos like you used to serve them please.

I go often to Papi I love their tacos specially the birria taco with salsa.Also their Curtis are yummy.

My girlfriend and I saw this place while looking for a place to eat dinner. And I am so happy we saw this place for sure!!! The place inside was decorated for Dia de Los Muertos and it was so cool!!! They had banners and a table that said Remember Me from the movie Coco. We were greeted as we came in and the lady who took our order was so nice and patient with me. I was in between OG Plate and the OG Burrito. I ended up with a great decision of choosing the OG Plate bc it comes with so much that had me feeling so full by the end. The OG Plate came with basically one of everything on their menu and it was so tasty with their consume!!!! I definitely recommend trying out the place. They have outdoor seating only and there is a fire to keep you warm near by.

I wanted to visit Popi Tacos & Churro because a YouTuber I watch Brennen and Jake Taylor reviewed this place. Well, we came to the wrong location. They were at the Santa Monica location. The churro just came out a basic churro nothing special with a side of caramel. Not what I see in the pictures. I hate to say it but I might be able to get a better one at Sam's Club. We were greeted when we came in, and gentleman was nice taking our order.

First and last time coming to this horrible place people that works here are so damn unhappy they rude af bro if you don't like what to do find something better to make you happy.... And tha last thing I was eating my burrito and I found a hair in it... so disgusting the people that work there they look all dirty.... Don't come here you'll be disappointed...

Cool spot to have casual meal, I had the asada tacos and birria burrito, prices are reasonable. The service is a bit slow but good and friendly. Everything is made as you order. Portions are decent for the price. Definitely be coming back when I'm in the area.

Birria tacos at this place are amazing! There's plenty of seating so you can enjoy them right away. Every taco on the menu was delicious. The service could be a bit more friendly, but overall I'd still go back.

Wow! The fireplace on the outdoor seating area (no indoor seating) and the title "PAPI tacos and churros" sparked curiousity. We were headed somewhere else but decided to stop by here instead. Not one regret! The prices of the tacos, etc. were all fairly decent and the atmosphere of the place was bright and lively with Latino music playing. You place an order at the cashier and head outside to the outdoor dining area to wait for you to get called. We sat next to the fireplace and it was super convenient because it helped keep me warm as it was windy tonight. The area was clean and well-maintained. The O.G plate was so good! Having a taco, a quesataco, quesadilla, and consome all for $15.99 in one order sounded so delicious. She asked if we wanted avocado (which is extra, as expected, going for $2.50 more) and I said yes! There's only red salsa so that is very spicy, definitely be careful eating too much of it. I got super full from this order and am super happy that we came here instead. Also for dessert, the agua frescas, churros, etc all smelled so good inside, can't wait to eat those too one day! Thank you to the kind lady for taking our orders on Halloween night! - restrooms outside (need a key) - outdoor seating only - good pricing and good taste! - limited salsa

Avoid this place at all costs. The customer service is absolutely abysmal, and the staff is shockingly rude. Despite leaving a 15% tip, I was treated like a criminal just for paying for my meal. I asked a simple question about the consomé at the register, and the woman behind the counter actually yelled at me to hurry up, as if I should somehow already know their entire menu by heart. She was far more concerned with rushing me through than actually helping a paying customer. The way they treat people here is downright disrespectful. I will never step foot in this place again-- they treat their customers like garbage.

Food- I was never a big birria person, yet I'll have this any day and the chicken is a different taste (smoked) then many other places, so it's good, love the consome. Service- It gets busy yet they get to the orders as soon as they can, thanks. Ambiance- Love the Mexican music, keeps the place original, authentic it self and it's clean.

Low key fireeeee place. Had to dig deep to find this place and I'm glad I did. Birria tacos WITH the consume were amazing!!! No indoor seating but outside they have warmers and the fire. It looks like it's packed in the booth but it goes by pretty fast. Worth the trek for that saucy taco. Bessst.

The best birria tacos!! These are delicious and always hit the spot. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Went on 2/24/2025...Best carne aside burrito I've ever had. Prices were reasonable and restaurant was clean. Will definitely return!

THEY TAKE FOREVER!!!!! They have 1 cook, 1 cashier, and 1 bagger. They're way understaffed. I would not come here again. I waited over 30 minutes for 3 tacos.

Don't even get me started on how dangerous the churros are in this place. For those that wanna step it up, you can have chocolate and condensed milk drizzled all over it and add scoops of ice cream as well. It's definitely not something I want to be looking at if I'm on a diet and I am. So no ice cream or churros for me today but the service and food is good and the people are nice. I love sitting next to the fire and enjoying my food. You're gonna have to get here before 9 PM or else the patio will be closed, but they will still give you food to go for an hour after that. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing at the moment and the music that they play helps with that a lot.

Gonna keep it short and simple! Pros: the flavor of the quesatacos is 20000/10! So so good and everything that I needed! The churros (not pictured) were super fresh and warm! Cons: Though the folks working there are nice, the service is very slow so prepare to both wait in line and wait about 15-20 minutes for your food, no matter how small your order is. The quesatacos are smaller than other birria tacos that I have had at other places so take that into account when ordering. I would definitely come back here again because though the wait for anything here is long, the tacos make up for it.

Papi's tacos is hands down the best taco spot in the la area ! Don't sleep on this place fam! The ambiance from the outside doesn't look like much but when you enter your fretted by the staff which are super friendly! Parking is pretty big so it won't be an issue There's a lot of foot traffic so it does get pretty busy They do have a backyard patio with a fire pit which is cool and gives you an opportunity to take some nice photos Pricing of the food is kind of of on the high side but trust me your getting your moneys worth they won't disappoint!

Great Food. I got the Queso Taco and the churros, I would recommend anyone to come here and eat great food

The best fast service beef birria tacos! They offer it in different eating styles like burrito, quesadilla, tacos and more. The horchata is also a must try! It's one of the best! The churros are also made fresh to order and the caramel dip is so yummy!

The food is reliably good here. The customer service needs work however. My order was confused and had to engage with three different employees including the manager before agreeing to fix the issue. Not the level of service I expect for a $20 burrito.

When I tell you this is the best birria EVER! I tried it for the first time and got the sampler plate. Went home so fat and full I was already plotting my next visit. Turns out I ended up getting a burrito on UberEats the next day because I couldn't stay away. This place is 100% worth the cheat meal.

Honestly this place is pretty good. Food was definitely great. Enjoyed it. Should of held off on avocado as it just doesn't belong on Birria but wanted to try some new. Birria taco: 4/5 Great taste, great quality meet. Small taco. Quesadilla: 5/5 the cheese took it to the next level and put it all together. QuesaTaco: 4/5 Needed more cheese but definitely wasn't upset about it as it was still tasty. Birria Ramen: 4/5 Ramen was tasty and fresh. Service 4/5: Couldn't say much as it's just a cashier taking and order but he was polite. Pricing 4/5: It was definitely fair.

my first experience here was alright. the inside is big and they only have outside seating. i ordered the burrito with birria and an horchata. the cashier seemed like she hated life. she was weird and unwelcoming. the horchata was not good either, it was watered down and tasted nothing like authentic horchata. the burrito came out quick and was really tasty. a little pricey but it was fine. overall i'd say their customer service definitely needs to improve and same with their horchata.

It is so hard to find a churro place in the LA area. The place was very crowded. I didn't get to try the tacos but I a lot of customers were buying the Birria Tacos. The churro comes in 2 which is a good enough amount for one person. You can get a dipping sauce on the side but it was already flavorful and sweet enough on its own. The person at the register didn't seem too happy or enthusiastic; she just took my order and had us pay. It felt like she didn't enjoy her job. But, the churros were great so there was no complaints at all. Wish this place was open late for some late night churros!

THe birria burrito (w/ consomme) and the carne asada quesadilla are my favorites. Everything on the menu is good. Haven't tried the churros. Yet.

It's just off of the promenade - not where a lot of people walk so it was pretty empty when I came. The food service was very quick and the workers were very friendly! We got the OG Plate. In hindsight, I probably should have just gotten two items individually because the OG plate is super filling. The meat here was so good and I love how the tortillas dipped in sauces are a little crunchy. We also got churros which they fried fresh for us and tasted amazing!
