Papi's Barbacoa offers a flavorful dining experience with a focus on quality meats. The barbacoa is a standout, praised for being "extremely good" with rich, thick flavor, and not greasy. It is shredded finely, seasoned well, and not nervy, making it very enjoyable. The tamales are also highly recommended, with a good meat to masa ratio, not overly large or small, and wrapped in foil packs, which is appreciated by customers. The menudo is notable for its unique taste and texture, while the complimentary beans are a highlight, described as "sooo good" and worth ordering in larger quantities. The flour tortillas are soft and malleable, perfect for wrapping delicious fillings. The pico and avocado are praised for their perfect balance of flavors, and the red salsa has a bit of bite but could benefit from a stronger flavor. The chicharrones are cooked just right—crunchy without being overly hard or breaking teeth. The staff is very friendly and patient, which adds to the positive experience, and the place is very clean upon entering. Overall, Papi's Barbacoa provides a satisfying dining experience, with some room for updated menu pricing.
