Papi’s Birria

SUMMARY: Yes I recommend. Nite that this was only my third time trying birria tacos. Oh and this is a taco truck parked in front of Flicks, open from 2100 - 0300. (Disclaimer: I was not drunk when I ordered so this review is from a sober perspective .)FOOD: these birria tacos made me forget my problems. It was an explosion of flavors and texture in my mouth. Meat with the cheese and the sauce was unforgettable it made me want to try more birria tacos. You can ask extra sauce if you'd like. My only complaint was, the saltiness, it was more than my usual preference. (Disclaimer, I like salt but my prefernece is not as high as the average? But I don't like bland either.) With that said, I enjoyed this very much. But I woke up like a puffer fish. Worth it though! The tacos were grilled like toasty, some parts were grilled like almost burnt (not a negative for me) and some parts were soft. The cheese melt within the meat and the sauce. It was delicious! AMBIANCE: well this is a taco truck, so casual! SERVICE: great! Can handle a convo. Polite and friendly. Sorry picture is dark because I ate inside my car and it was past midnight.

We were lucky to have these guys posted at our apartment from 5p-8p tonight. Simple menu, tasty food. Ordered a couple quesabirria tacos. The cheese makes it more sinful but soooo much better. Def the way to go if you're not lactose...but also even if you are. Perfectly crisp shell, tasty, juicy Birria, and finished off with cilantro and onion.Chicken rolled tacos comes in a set of 5. Topped with cotija, lettuce, crema, purple cabbage. Again, crispy shells, tasty filling. Really can't go wrong. They also had a potato version if you're meat-averse. Ask for a few sauce containers (small) and fill them up with the self-serve sauce station. Light green is milder, more tart but still has some heat, while the darker sauce has a richer, smokier flavor and was noted to be the spiciest of the options. I wanted to try the shrimp gobernador, but unfortunately, the guy at the window said he didn't know how to make them? Guess I'll have to wait 'til next time. $24 for 2 quesabirria tacos and 5 chicken rolled tacos. Cash or Venmo.

If I could give 10 stars I would. This is truly the best birria in San Diego. From ordering to eating, the food was so fucking deliciousness

I thought Birria was overhyped until I gave it another try here at Papis Birria truck! They have been coming recently at the Gasoline Depot where the 7/11 is. I tried their rolled tacos and queso birria tacos. They do beef here because I know some places do goat, which I do not prefer. The consummé is amazing and I wish they gave a little more in the sauce cups but I loved it! The rolled tacos are filled with that shredded beef as well and topped with lots of shredded lettuce, cream, and cotija cheese. Can't really go wrong with rolled tacos in general but these hit the spot.Definitely do not overlook this truck! The menu is small and fairly simple but at the same time some of the best birria tacos I've had so far.

So bomb! I've already been here multiple times. The birria tacos are the Best! The salsa was super tasty, amazing service, the owner Ivan is very personable . Can't wait to come back

Eat here if you want to get sick! This truck is always on university by flicks. The truck charges based on how intoxicated individuals are. We were sober so no up charge. Also, overheard the guy working make very homophobic comments about some customers.

The BEST birria I've EVER had So juicy so fresh and the absolute best!!!Me and my friends love this and have bought 5 orders already

WARNING: DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! WILL SCAM YOU No prices listed which isn't a problem at first except when they DOUBLE your order cost after telling you a completely different one at the window. I checked their prices online after & it's around $5 a taco so how does 5 birria tacos come out to $75 on my account the next day. The employees around the surrounding bars have been warning others that they admitted to explicitly charging white people extra! Over charging on weekend nights and adding unauthorized tips. Disgusting business behavior.UPDATE: still no reply from company even after calling. Even if it was $7 a taco it still wouldn't come out to $75 on my account. After looking through more reviewers on here it seems this is a common practice amongst them to overcharge etc.

They are cool and cute and their food is bomb yall should try it! I don't usually. Go out but this is my first time trying it! It really good! I got half birria half al pastor fries!! Oh fuck ya! I'm living !!!

Perhaps the most authentic birria tacos I've tried! Full of flavor and the right amount of spices. Outstanding service and fast as well. I was in the area having drinks and the place was fun and friendly.
