Flavorful ! The always is on point but the highlight is the amazing service that is provided!! The reason our family keeps coming back is because they made us feel like family. Barbacoa all meat is always juicy and cooked to perfection and the menudo is always fire.

Delicious food and salsa! The barbacoa combos are a good price. I do think the tamales are a tad pricey but they sure are tasty! I will definitely be back!

Others may try to replicate, but can never out-do Papi’s. Their barbacoa is delicious and their customer service is literally top tier. I will continue to drive 45 mins because they never disappoint. If yall get a chance, make sure to try them out!! They have another location on Culebra.

Reminds me of going to get the tortillas at the little shop in Mexico. Awesome barbacoa. Ask for the Soda Special.

I've gone to Papis for a few years and they never disappoint with their barbacoa. I will drive from out of town just to buy some. This last visit my daughter had surgery so I decided to treat the nurses caring for her with some barbacoa and tamales from Papis. They loved it! Mathew was the one who took my order this time and got it together. He was very nice and helpful.
