Authentic Mexican food. Nuff said.*Needed to post this review for this incredible restaurant*Edit: Actually I should I add if you guys are mad about the prices and you voted Joe Biden, it's your fault not the business owner's.

oh my gawwwwsh. i almost want to move back to socal (*almost*) just for this spot! located in santa ana attached to a sleek chevron station is this taco spot. on the weekend they have this pop up bbq menu that they serve on the side window but you can sit outside or inside after getting your food. we came for the tacos but wanna come back to try those lamb ribs on the weekend menu.my mom and i can't stop raving about the birria tacos to our family. they're not joking about the slow cooking 16 hours part. we got the OG plate and an extra birria taco for me. i also got the pineapple drink and it had little tiny pieces of pineapple on the bottom, yum. we ended up devouring the plate together and ordering two more birria tacos for dessert lol. the mulita was our favorite set-up of tortilla, meat, flavor, and cheese. that's what the OG plate is, 4 different fonts of the same formula. i literally drank the rest of the consumeh. i imagine their ramen is delicious because the broth is not just the leftover drippings, there's effort and time put into it. there was no room left to try the churros so we'll just haaaave to come back.place is super clean and big windows to let in plenty of sunlight. the larger tables could probably seat a party of 8 or party of 10 people. easy street parking or in the lot of gas station if you're also filling up or getting a car wash.

If you're looking for the ultimate taco experience in Santa Ana, Papi Tacos is the place to go! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of freshly grilled meats and the warm, vibrant atmosphere of authentic Mexican street food vibes.The tacos? Next level. I tried the carne asada, and let me tell you--flavor explosion. It was perfectly marinated, with that smoky-savory balance you dream about, and the carne asada was tender, juicy, and grilled to perfection. Don't even get me started on the homemade tortillas. Soft, warm, and a little charred on the edges--absolute bliss.Their salsa deserves its own shout-out. Spicy, tangy, mild, or smoky--you name it, they've got it. Pro tip: the green salsa is where it's at. The service was friendly and quick, even during a busy lunch rush. And the prices? Totally reasonable for the quality you're getting. You can tell everything here is made with care and love.Papi Tacos is a must-visit for any taco lover. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Ana, do yourself a favor and stop by. Your taste buds will thank you!- A very happy and taco-full customer!

Papi Tacos & Churros is place I probably wouldn't have tried if I didn't just happen to be at the Chevron right in front and I am absolutely ecstatic that I tried it!From the outside, it looks like a regular restaurant and inside is with a good amount of seating - some larger bench sized ones and regular four seaters. The menu is posted on a wall to the right from the entrance and restrooms are locked with a code given with the receipt. Note there is also Gee Barbecue which is connected through their kitchen on the outside that's only open Saturday and Sunday. We ordered carne asada and birria tacos for food, a churro for dessert and horchata for drinks. We got our food for to go and man were we glad when we finally opened up our boxes! The birria tacos were heavenly, like seriously really good - tender, flavorful meat with garnish to top it off and tortillas that tasted fresh. The carne asada tacos were also a joy to eat as well! Then the churros which were crispy in the outside and soft and decadent on the inside! My first sip of the horchata was literally euphoric, it's on the sweet side and for me, was perfect! I'll definitely be back for more and highly recommend!

The food and customer service is good at this establishment. I recently got the OG burrito with birria, and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It was not skimpy on anything and so satisfying. I've previously got the churros but kinda stale. However, all the food has been great. I will be back for some OG Ramen soon. The place is always clean and plenty of tables to sit and enjoy.

The birria was . The OG PLATE AND OG BURRITO WAS delicious, rich, and will full you up. The churros was good, a little disappointing becua as e it was room temperature and tast of oil was more prominent. So giving that 3 stars. Overall, go for the birria... and ENJOY!

While in the area I found this gem! Located next to a gas station is a cute and small restaurant with plenty of seating.In the mood for something not too heavy, I ordered three tacos and a churro to go. The server suggested I order a dipping sauce for the churro and that ended up being a good suggestion.Everyone is friendly and the menu was clear and simple. Not too many options helped me with sensory overload. The tacos had seasoning, flavor and were tender, all elements that are hard to find as a combination. Even better was the churro - this isn't a Costco churro by any means. It was the perfect end to a great meal. I didn't feel overly full and for $16 it was perfect.

This place has a small menu but super flavorful. The one star dock is for their churros. For someone to have that in their name, they are not that great. I have tried the plate with the different meats and everything comes out super juicy. Their red salsa/sauce is amazing. Can you guys please add chips to your menu!? I would come for a loaded nachos. The chicken, steak, and birria meat don't disappoint. This is something you want to eat there as taking it home with result in everything being soggy and not good.

The BEST Halal birria tacos in So-Cal. Once I was there and someone was complaining that "These are not even that good, the people in the street make them better".. but I'm like lady, are they halal tho?! No. Eat at Papi's tacos it's gonna taste better I promise. They have good seating and you're going to get your food hot!

I finally found a taco spot in OC that I love! We got the OG Plate, which is like a sampler with one of each item they offer. It's definitely a filling meal--not something light, so come hungry!I ordered the Birria OG Plate, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were on point, and the tortillas were perfectly crispy, adding a nice texture to each bite. They currently offer three choices of meat, but I'd love to see a few more options added to the menu. One thing that surprised me was the restaurant being connected to a gas station. Despite that, it was surprisingly clean and well-kept. The food came out pretty fast too, which was a bonus.Overall, I think this spot is a gem, and I'll definitely be coming back!
