PapiVivi

Hands down the best Puerto Rican food in MA. Pizza crunchy & not floppy. Sandwiches and empanadas packed with meat. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re ever in the area and if you’re not in the area it’s worth it to take a drive down here.

They blessed my plate! They are not stingy. Best Puerto Rican joint around! Food is authentic and tasty. Service is impeccable. Don’t shy away from this place!!

If you want great tasting sandwiches or food for a reasonable price, then this is the spot for you. I highly recommend their Tripleta or chop cheese sandwiches.

Just phenomenal absolutely everything was great. The service was great the owner of the shop was really friendly & welcoming felt, like I could take my time to see what I wanted to order without feeling rushed. The Burripleta was so good honestly it fills me up no problem portion size is perfect, the flavor & the meats just go so well together. The empanadas are some of the best I’ve had anywhere crispy & hot, but what made it better was the Papivivi sauce, dipping the empanadas in that sauce … Unreal. Honestly no complaints love this place food is fantastic will be coming here often now that I’ve came across it.

Love coming here , always trying something new and can’t get enough , the worker in here are great . The food made with so much flavor and I can’t get enough . Such a hidden gem , tell a friend to tell a friend because everything so great the pizza is also amazing follow them on social to stay up to date .!

This place has to be one of my top Puerto Rican places ever! We had PapiVivi on our must visit places when visiting Boston for months. We visited from Florida and Texas, and let me tell you, it was well worth the visit. The owner was fantastic as he greeted up kindly. And the food was top-notch. Everything was fresh and savory. And the portions were plentiful. We ordered the tripleta sandwich, pernil sandwich, santurce wrap, and the guava/cheese empanadas. Let me tell you, the Empanada is so full of guava and cheese that wifey and I had to share one. But yes, this place is a must go. We will be returning before we head back south.

My Sofrito Chicken looked so good I forgot to take a picture of it before devouring it! 10/10 it’s a bit pricey tho but worth it if you wanna treat ya self a good lunch! Truly taste like Puerto Rican.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint. I got the tripleta sandwich and fries. The meat was well seasoned, which is key in these type of sandwiches. The Vivi sauce for the sandwich is delicious! Owner is really nice guy and got to have great conversation about how he started his business and come to find out we grew up in the same neighborhood so that was was nice Convo as well. If your in the area I definitely recommend trying this place out you won't be disappointed.👍

We love the sandwiches here! They are so fresh and the sauce is incredible. You can make any adjustments to your order and prices are reasonable!

Nicest guy with great food! JC's chopped and Pernil sandwiches are fantastic, but don't forget the sauce, it makes it all even better :-) I haven't had a bad thing, try it...you won't be sorry!

Papivivi always cooks up 5/5 experience. The food always taste unbelievably fresh and is made hot to order. The owner has a wonderfully positive and energetic personality that makes you feel like part of the family when you are there. I always order a chopped cheese and my daughter loves the burripleta. I love it here and can't say enough good things about it.

The food is delicious. The owner and staff are always friendly and personable. Love the salsa music too!

Loooove this place ! The chicken and cheese pasteltios are my favorite! I also love the fact they have GREAT chopped cheese it's the only place around here where you can get one and it's amazing. The staff is also super nice and friendly. One of my favorite places in Lynn !

Omg this place has the BEST Guava & Cream cheese empanadas!!! My Favorite sandwich so far is Papi Pernil. Everything is fresh and seasoned to perfection! The owner is amazing and extremely welcoming! Y'all need to go to Papi Vivi's!!!!

This tiny shop serves some good Puerto Rican food. They mostly have sandwiches, but also empanadas and you can make rice bowls too. The staff is super friendly. The empanadas are excellent. They told me they run out of the guava ones early, which is to be expected. I liked my pernil bowl. It was huge and the pork was excellent. The beans were also good. I'd return when I go back home.

PapiVivi's food is like sitting at your mom's dinner table to eat! Amazing food and Great service!!!

I am so glad Papivivi is close to my house. The food here is spectacular. Try everything here your belly will be happy happy! Trust me I am a very choosey when it comes to food.

Went first time today and the sandwich was absolutely incredible. Vivi Tripletta with side of hot sauce Will def be back.

I go and always get the Tripleta! Amazing. If you're looking for Puerto Rican food this is the spot!

The best and freshest authentic food ever! I had the cheese empanada and it exceeded my expectations! I also had the shredded pork rice and lettuce! It was also fresh and delicious! Can wait to go back! I have to say I ordered the food from Uber eats and it was delivered timely and it was hot!

what can I say very friendly staff and amazing sandwiches. I have tried 4 different sandwiches and each one never disappoint. you got to try this spot out!

Delicious tasty & hearty food . Really enjoyed the pork, sandwiches & bowls. Nice if he could have a small cooling station out front for the bike trail!

Best sandwiches in town. Owner is amazing and puts love into his food. Chop sandwich is my go to.

Went in for a Vivi's Tripleta and drink called "Chi Chi ". The food was gone the second I got into my car the food was amazing and the drink was even better. Dope spot amazing food. Gotta love my Puerto Ricans

Best food out there for great price don't waste ur money anywhere else that's foolish

Stopped by Papivivi Sandwich this afternoon after hearing nothing but rave reviews from friends. I was really hoping to try their Tripleta sandwich but as soon as we walked in the really kind man (wish I got his name) at the counter immediately greeted and informed us that they unfortunately ran out of bread for the weekend. I was bummed at first but I settled for their rice bowl (with chicken and beef). My boyfriend got their Burripleta. My boyfriend asked if it was okay to add fries inside of the Burripleta and the guy was so nice and excited for us for this combination lol. Let me tell you, although I was bummed they didn't have any bread so I could try the Tripleta, even something as simple as my rice bowl was amazing and so flavorful. My boyfriends Burripleta with fries was delicious! We also got the empanada and they were so nice and light & tasty.. not overly greasy. I know it may go over peoples heads these days but good service and a friendly face makes all the difference. After the kind encounter, excellent food was a plus. We will return for sure so I can try that Tripleta!

Thank you papi vivi for dinner ! These sandwiches were THE BOMB.COM !!! Everything had delicious flavor even down to the garlicy goodness of the bread they used. I got the sofrito chicken (DELICIOUS) but my mum who got the pernil said it was so soft and flavorful. Adding a side of fries is a perfect match for these sandwiches. Great costumer service , I will be coming back.

Extremely consistent with friendly staff--well worth smelling like garlic butter the rest of the day.

Went yesterday for lunch. Got the JC Chopped Cheese for second time. Food and customer service is amazing. Great spot to grab a quick lunch... will be returning!

One of the best sandwiches of my life. I hardly ever do online reviews but this place is exceptional. The tripleta is the absolute bees knees. I ate it so ravenously I forgot to take a picture of the sandwich but here is a consolation picture of the loaded fries which were also great. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this baby.

Had lunch from here on Friday 04/16/2021 very Good tasty will order from here again definitely Had the chicken rice beans bowl

The food was amazingly delicious! We ordered the sofrito chicken, tripleta, and cheese fries. The sandwiches were extremely flavorful and yummy. We also had some passionfruit juice. When my husband came back from picking up the food, he said the owner was extremely friendly and excited about his business. Definitely try these sandwiches, they are very delicious and I haven't had anything like them before.

Just ate the JC chop cheese for the first time and wow. Cooked to perfection. There was crunch from the bread in every bite. The flavors were amazing. My first time going here and I will definitely be going back!

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant after hearing good things about it. Small place, take out only. I got a sandwich with pork shoulder and my husband got a vegetarian sandwich. Both phenomenal! Owner was so nice too. Sandwiches are made on fresh, soft bread and even have potato sticks in them.

After a hike through the Lynn Woods Reservation, I stopped by Papivivis. You can smell the Puerto Rican flavors as you walk in. Everything is made to order and super fresh and super tasty. Sam is one of the owners. Super chill super easy going guy . Can't wait for my next visit !

The owner was very nice. I ordered a sandwich which I heard a lot of people raving about. It was not what I expected. Maybe I'll try the restaurant again when I'm in the area when another item on the menu.

New sandwich spot in the neighborhood. It used to be a pizzeria, now they're serving Puerto Rican inspired sandwiches. Went in and was amazed with the flavor and quality of the sandwiches. To my surprise they are serving pizzas, also recommended. A new neighborhood gem!

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and I can say that the authentic Puertorican cuisine flavors are 100% in PapiVivis food. The Vivís Tripleta was delicious! I wish I had asked for a bit of their homemade "Pique" hot vinaigrette. The Pernil is flavorful and so next time I will try the pernil sandwich. I love Empanadas and so I order all three kinds, beef, cheese and Tripleta. They were completely filled with meat and cheese I have no complaints I just want to go and get more. Im sure I will be a regular here. I also had a passionlemonade for drink and I can say is also delicious. Is not too sweet or too sour is perfectly balance. Also the service is great and they speak Spanish! I am sooooo happy we are so closed to this new gem in Lynn! Welcome to PapiVivis and Staff!

Great spot definitely recommend the JC chopped that's my go to there also had the tripleta bowl and that was unreal 10/10

Ordered pernil with with rice. It was cold like it's been sitting around all day. No pizza. Fail so far. The countdown to their demise is on.

Best empanadas and sandwiches in the north shore. The papivivi sauce is crack, I buy a large tub every time i go in there to ensure I have plenty to put on burgers, sandwiches and anything else really...

Went there cause I was missing home, and I felt the warmth of the island as soon as I walked in. The smell of fresh bread was beautiful. I asked for a veggie tripleta with beans and it was perfect. And They have passion fruit juice! So good. Definitely recommend.

Great spot! Super friendly owner(Sam) - he recommended the Tripletta which was amazing - the bread, the meat and all the condiments were super fresh and tasty. Will definitely come back!

Just got a single Vivis Tripleta sandwich and was so upset with myself for not getting more! Half way through the sandwich I was kicking myself wanting another one and the people behind the counter were super friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Good tripleta sandwich! One of the first things I do when visiting Puerto Rico is get a tripleta.. so to know there's a local spot that makes good ones outside of the island is great. If you're missing that authentic Puerto Rican tripleta taste then try this place.

Can't say enough good things about this place. The customer service was great. Friendly staff that takes the time to talk with you, make recommendations, and ensure you're getting everything you need. The food was just as good if not better than the service. Had the Papi's Pernil, Veggiepleta, Beef Empanada, and cheese fries. Everything ordered got rave reviews. I could literally put the papivivi sauce on anything. I'm so glad I tried this place and you should try it too.

Best PuertoRican samich spot in the area. Food is always tasty and on point! The owner makes you feel at home with a friendly greet and a smile. The tripleta is my favorite which I order two because I can't get enough.

New restaurant opened on the west side of Lynn. Don't sleep on it. Food is fantastic. Their version of mayo ketchup is delicious. I got the tripleta sandwich and fries. Didn't even have time for a picture. As we drove home the smell in the car was intoxicating. Couldn't wait to get home and dig in. next review will have pictures. also had the chicken and cheese empanada. so juicy and delicious. Empanadas are a little expensive compared to others in the area but well worth it. flavor was on point for Puerto Rican Street food you find at Spanish/Puertorican festivals.

Great little spot for pizza and traditional Puerto Rican bows, salads and sandwiches. No eat-in at the moment, due to covid, but great take-out and delivery. There's parking out in front. The shop ( a former Greek pizza shop) has been renovated and updated. The owner (Sam) was brought up in Cambridge and Puerto Rico and also was a great baseball player! He worked in the NYC Public Schools for years before leaving to create his dream: Sharing Puerto Rican food with the world! He's been open since March 2020, and despite the pandemic, he's doing it and well. The owner is Sam Cortellia-Hunter. (I am not sure if that's the accurate spelling). It's worth the trip. In nice weather, there's a little park next door and a bike trail over the marshes.

We've gone twice; once when we drove by it and got excited to see a Puerto Rican restaurant in our neighborhood. I told everyone about it and we ended up going again for empanadas and sofrito chicken: both "bomb" l! More than anything we are happy to support a local business with delicious food.

First time comming here and imma say I will be back I got the Sofito chicken. And let me tell u that bread they use is amazing. Also the workers are very friendly Also they are super cute

Amazing food!!!! The Vivir Tripleta is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!!! This place is definitely worth a visit!

Let me tell you, Papivivi was actually fantastic. The vibe is great. Everything I've tried until now has been fantastic. Staff are really nice and service is really quick. Good stuff.

Unbelievable food! Fresh and delicious. Every sandwich we ordered was fabulous! Great service, owner is so nice!

Being Puerto Rican and having tripleta multiple time in my life this just didn't do it for me. The meat tasted heavily of sofrito( if you know you know), not that I don't like sofrito but it was definitely missing that flavor that love you would get from having them on the island. The sauce was great but there wasn't enough to save the tripleta. I really wish I loved it but I didn't. I guess the only thing I can say wasn't disappointing was the fries. They were great and salted perfectly. The food was lack luster to say the least.

Super delicious spot. Get yourself a tripleta and some jugo de parcha. So glad you cooking up this heat Papivivi!
