We had a party of 8 ask for a table at 5:35 on Saturday, got seated by 5:55, but then the actual entrees did not come out until after 7. Two of our group had to leave by 7 so they canceled their orders, and the person who brought their food out cursed when we told him (not at us but generally). Also, they ran out of sangrias (their most popular drink) by 6 on a Saturday! which was disappointing.

The food is hit or miss. Hints of tacolicious but w cheaper ingredients. Drinks are good, w a happy hour menu. Food is so so and feels overpriced. The chips and salsa are great. Skip the chicken. The torta is ok, coleslaw has way too much mayonnaise. Their fusions don’t really hit. the classic torta is better. Their tacos use cheap gmo tortillas. Pozole is ok, didn’t finish it. I would say stick to the steak and you’ll get the best of them. But still, there’s better out there. Long are the days of la Palma organic tortillas, I miss their food from those days.

This is a good place for drinks and appetizers. Try Gilbert’s for Latin fusion down the street. PH doesn’t have good Mexican.

Papito in San Francisco is a cozy, welcoming spot with a menu that balances flavor, freshness, and creativity. The overall service was attentive and friendly, making the dining experience smooth from start to finish. The staff checked in often enough to make sure everything was good, but without being overbearing, which always makes a difference.
When it comes to the food, everything we tried was impressive. I had the Vegetariano, which was hearty, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy — a great choice for anyone looking for a tasty meat-free option. The chicken tacos were another favorite, perfectly seasoned and well-portioned, not greasy or overloaded with toppings. Their quesadillas stood out as well: they had the right amount of cheese and filling, balanced and not overly stuffed, which kept them delicious without feeling overwhelming.
The drinks complemented the food perfectly. The spicy mango drink had just the right kick of heat to balance the sweetness, making it super refreshing and unique. Along with a few beers, the overall mix kept the meal fun and flavorful.
Papito does a great job of keeping things authentic yet approachable, offering a dining experience that feels both elevated and casual. Between the good service, satisfying food, and unique drink options, it’s definitely a spot worth revisiting when craving Mexican food in the city

Super delicious. The food tasted amazing and the place had a great vibe. Usually I want to add more hot sauce or salsa to taco salads, but this was perfect as is. Super affordable for a sit-down place. 10/10

Great place to bring friends, family or even a date. Most of the food and drinks my friends and I ordered were delicious. The only entree that I didn't enjoy was their fajitas, they were under seasoned and lacked flavor. Definitely have to order the calamari, that red sauce is soo good 😁. The Al Pastor torta was packed with flavor and the fried chicken nachos were different in a good and delicious way. Service was good, but keep in mind that the restaurant is on the small side so there may be a bit of a wait for larger parties. Definitely coming back again!

Service was good. Atmosphere was nice but the steak tacos had an odd flavor.

Chicken Fajitas (white meat) are outstanding!! And trust me on this one , I’ve been too hundreds of placing in search for good fajitas , and this one is definitely in my top 2 , try it try it. You will love it. Restaurant is located in a little funky neighbourhood, go and explore it.
