Unassuming little place in the middle of strip mall

I wanted to try a new barbacoa spot, so I stopped by Papi's this morning. I ordered the all meat barbacoa with salsa and corn tortillas. Barbacoa (3/5)The barbacoa here was a bit more dry than ones I have had in the past (Rio's, a few places in Laredo). The flavor was still solid and what I expect from good barbacoa, but it was noticeably less tender. Salsa and corn tortilla (2/5)The salsa was a bit too watery for me, and the corn tortillas were paper thin. The tortillas tasted like ones I would get from the store compared to corn tortillas I've had at other establishments (including taco joints). They still got the job done, but I've had better. Pricewise, the above costs about $18 after tax. I would personally stick to rios barbacoa for your barbacoa fix or try a different spot. It's possible maybe I came at too late a time or should have ordered menudo or tamales instead. However, even if it was as good as barbacoa places I've been to in the past, being a few dollars pricier for the same thing makes it not really worth it in my opinion.

It is a hole in a wall Barbacoa. The batbacoa is very good, but the flour tortilla was a little dry. People are nice. Still I would recommend this place.

I found this place through Yelp and wanted to give it a shot for the positive reviews it received. When I got there it was 8:30 AM on a Sunday and I did not expect a line out the door. There are only two people working so why it took a bit longer. Service was awesome! The owner was very welcoming and so delightful. I ordered the lengua and all meat barbacoa and I must say it was worth the wait!!! The lengua did not have an after taste and it was tender. The barbacoa wasn't greasy and on point! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for some tasty and fresh barbacoa.

Been going to Papi's for our Barbacoa needs nearly 4 years now. We get the same thing each time- 1lb. of all meat barbacoa and a package of corn tortilla, salsa w/ a side of borracho beans. Consistent quality each time. Excellent customer service. Owner is friendly and always greets you. Come early because the line goes out the door on Sundays.
