El Papucho Mexican Food

This is a great place if you want food made with love! I love coming here for breakfast and ordering their Pazole Rojas and fresh squeezed OK ! Yes you read that right - fresh squeezed OJ! Give this place a try! My partner loves the chiliquilles! It's got a great kick

This place is a mom and pop shop that has been in the busy corner of San Carlos st and Leigh Ave for over a decade! After ages, I've finally came back with my fiance and we had to go back a week later. The quality of food has not changed, obviously the price went up but it still is cheap! I asked for horchata but they didn't have it that day. He came back with a little shot of cucumber fresca and I had to get a large size of it!* photos are from diff visits!

We need places like this around. Homey, comforting. Tacos Dorado ofc so simple, so delicious, so good. Tamale also super good and fresh. Churros we're yummy too. My bf went on Friday, we came back Saturday.. and today is Sunday... and I want more !! Owners and staff are so friendly. Transported back to old times. Cannot wait to come back again :)

This is my favorite Mexican Food restaurant. It's a fine hidden gem and my family has been eating here for many years.

I saw someone post this restaurant on Tik Tok and decided that I had to go immediately! Soon as we walked in it looks like a true blue mom and pop Mexican restaurant. The Chile immediately hit us as we walked in. Everyone was coughing but still enjoying their meals which reminded me of my mother suffocating us all with all the chiles she was broiling lol. I came for the tortillas hechas a mano and completely forgot about it and ordered the tacos de papa. I was telling the owners about watching the tik tok video and they offered to let me try their tortillas. I was obsessed! Truly does taste like my momma just made me some lunch. Run, don't walk here!

I've been coming here for over 17 years since I was a little girl service and food is always amazing let's not forget fresh and authentic I love this place The Owners are so nice and welcoming:)

DELICIOUS hole in the wall with authentic Mexican food! Also, it is a family owned restaurant. My husband and I finally had the pleasure to eat here and LOVED it sooo much!! We had the tamal verde and pozole de puerco, which was to die for. They serve handmade tortillas, freshly made salsa, and coffee. We got lucky and where able to try their special raspado de guava. Everything was at an affordable price. The flavor and ambiance reminded me of my childhood and made me feel at home. We will be definitely coming back to try the rest of their menu!

Why is this place such a hidden gem? I'm hardly ever impressed w Chile verde. But man..., this brought me back to my grandmas Chile verde. Good meat. Good taste. Salsa was good. Gordita de asada was amazing. I don't have any real complaints. Plus the inside is cute and homey. Service was I definitely recommend for authentic Mexican food.

This is a mom and pop storefront in the shopping plaza next to restaurant depot. Many taquerias around but this one sells pupusas! Learned of Thai by my coworker and walked in. Little diner with merchandise. Women workers and so nice .I ordered the 3 flautas with pollo and 1 bean pupusa. My coworkers ordered the pollo and queso tamales and 2 more queso pupusas. I would have more pics but I was hungry Try them out !

The food reminds me of good homemade food. The service is awesome an The ambience is welcoming to me.
