What 97+ diners say about Papacito's Kitchen

Visited this place because of the zabiha options available. The steak fajitas were delicious (albeit a bit on the bland side for my liking) the service was quick and friendly and the price point decent. Would recommend for casualauthentic Mexican fare

“Pretty good standard Mexican food.”

Pretty good standard Mexican food! Pretty tight and tiny but both the taco and the enchilada were good - salsa wasn’t my favorite but nothing was bad.

“We had two very large delivery orders that I placed very far in advance and Papacito's nailed it.”

We had two very large delivery orders that I placed very far in advance and Papacito's nailed it. The food arrived on time, packaged perfectly and it was delicious. Prior to the delivery date, they called to confirm everything, made sure that I had everything I needed prior to our event. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The amount of food exceeded my expectations, I was worried I didn't order enough but the very generous portions were MORE than enough for our hungry teams. I can't stress enough how wonderful Papacito's is and how they will take such good care of you. They have got you COVERED for your next big catering event. We will continue to order from there.

The best Mexican restaurant in my life I recommend everyone to try it I love how it’s mix it between Mexican and American style

“I first had Papacito's when it was catered in at an office party.”

I first had Papacito's when it was catered in at an office party. The food was so good I had to ask for the name and remember it so I could go there. Unfortunately you are on the north side of Chicago and I am out near Naperville. When are you going to open a location out this way? It would be an immediate success I can assure you. Please think about it. Thank you for the delicious food - especially the refried beans - yummy! Cathy

“My go-to spot every single Taco Tuesday for lunch, and sometimes even more frequently.”

My go-to spot every single Taco Tuesday for lunch, and sometimes even more frequently. Tacos are amazing, the people are even better! Don’t hesitate to try it if you are craving Mexican food, you will not regret it.

“Papacito’s food has never disappointed and our recent catering experience was no different.”

Papacito’s food has never disappointed and our recent catering experience was no different. We catered in tacos, quesadillas, and fajitas along with chips, salsas, and guacamole for a graduation party. The food was fantastic as always. Most of our guests had seconds or thirds, but thankfully we had a few leftovers for some post-party tacos😁. Delivery was exceptional (with friendly service) and the food was hot upon arrival (suburbs). I would absolutely recommend Papacito’s for dinner or for a party.

“BEST CHIPS & SALSA IN CHICAGO.”

BEST CHIPS & SALSA IN CHICAGO! I’ve been coming here for years and missed this spot terribly during the pandemic. The taco’s are always spot on! Taco dinner w/ 2 steak tacos & 1 chicken taco is my jam. Don’t forget the Fresh Lime on top! This is also one of my favorite places to have the office cater from. DELICIOUS & everyone is Happy!

“I've been eating at Papacito's for about 8 years now and it's my favorite Mexican joint on the North Side.”

I've been eating at Papacito's for about 8 years now and it's my favorite Mexican joint on the North Side. The people are great, tacos excellent, tortilla chips exceptional, and the huevos rancheros sublime. The listing has three dollar signs but should only show one - all food is extremely affordable.
