One of the standout features of Papi's Tacos is their all-day menu that boasts a variety of tantalizing options.

“ Nice little Restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The tacos were delicious. ”
“ Papi’s Tacos is a great spot for solid Mexican food in Greenville SC. Originally a food truck, they’ve put down roots, and it works. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, the kind of place where you can show up straight from a walk by the Reedy River and feel right at home. They’re also dog-friendly, which is a nice touch. The food delivers on flavor and freshness. The taco bowls stand out: fluffy Mexican rice, well-cooked black beans, and your choice of protein. The Al Pastor was a great pick, full of flavor and well-seasoned. Everything is topped with fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese, making it a solid, well-balanced dish. The tortas are another highlight. Served on a bolillo roll, they’re packed with refried beans, your choice of meat (the Mexican Pulled Chicken was excellent), and fresh veggies for a good mix of textures. If you’ve never had a torta, think of it as a Mexican-style sandwich but much better than the usual options. One unique menu item is the “Travelin’ Taco, essentially a walking taco served in a bag of Fritos. It’s a fun, no-fuss take on street food that works well. Overall, the food is fresh, portions are generous, and the quality is there. I did hear someone mention they thought it was a bit bland, but that comes down to personal preference. Prices are on the higher side, but given the fresh ingredients and portion sizes, it feels fair. If you’re looking for a casual, welcoming spot for good Mexican food, Papi’s is worth checking out. ”

“ Great food!! Best birria tacos I have ever had anywhere. We got birria and fish tacos and a chicken barbacoa bowl. The food was fresh and tasted amazing. The owners are nice and the place feels welcoming. Highly recommend!! ”
“ From my 8-year-old son: “It was the fastest food order ever and the food was the best ever!” We were looking for something good and quick. This place surprised us! Excellent service and the food was all gluten-free except for the fried foods. Quesadilla, tacos, and chips were delicious. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for something surprisingly satisfying and fast. ”
“ Tacos were delicious! The service was fantastic! We caught Taco Tuesday 3 for 12 and they were all fantastic. The shrimp taco, birria, and steak are were our favorites! The chorizo queso was creamy with a hint of spice. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. The hot sauce on the taco has a great spice level. Would 100% recommend it in the Falls Park area! Just a short walk from the Courtyard Marriott! ”
“ Visited the food truck at the Greenville Farmers Market. I had the veggie taco and the staff accommodated my no dairy option. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant ”
“ Nuri was the best! She topped my drink as she met my group outside and then made sure we all had a good experience. She fixed my friend’s and my meal when we weren’t satisfied and made sure we got our moneys worth. Also her margarita was amazing! ”
