" The food here is delicious, but I found the service to be somewhat lacking during my last visit. We had to wait a bit longer for our order, but when the food arrived, it was definitely worth the wait. The barbacoa was juicy and flavorful, but I will say that some of the other items were not as good. Still, I'll give it another chance to redeem itself! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular at Papi's and I always enjoy the barbacoa! I’ve never had a bad meal here. Each visit is met with friendly service, and while the restaurant can be busy, the staff works efficiently. The only setback can be the limited side options, but the barbacoa keeps me coming back. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped in for a quick bite and wasn't disappointed. The barbacoa is high quality and it shows. You can actually taste the love put into making it! My only issue was that the side portions felt a bit small for the price, but everything else was enjoyable. Great staff as well! I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Papi's Barbacoa is my new go-to for breakfast! The barbacoa is rich in flavor and not excessively greasy, which is a plus for me. I love pairing it with their pico de gallo and fresh avocado. The server was so friendly and helpful too, guiding me through the menu. Can't wait to bring my family here for a nice Sunday brunch. The only downside was the slight wait during peak hours, but the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My weekend brunch tradition now includes a stop at Papi's Barbacoa! The food is always delicious and worth the wait. The barbacoa is brilliant—smoky, rich, and never greasy. The service is equally outstanding, with friendly faces welcoming you. The side options could be improved, but honestly, I mainly come for the barbacoa! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to Papi’s Barbacoa after hearing rave reviews. The barbacoa lived up to everything I was told! Extremely flavorful and not greasy at all. The staff were friendly and gave good recommendations. The only thing I noticed was the limited choices in sides. I would have liked a few more options but overall, a fantastic meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is amazing! The barbacoa tasted so fresh and authentic. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. I love how friendly the staff is; they make you feel right at home. The only downside for me was the limited seating during lunch hours, but that just shows how popular it is! I will definitely recommend it to my friends and will be returning myself.
