“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”
“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. 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. 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. 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.”
“Come for the Guacamole and chips! Stay for the Chicken Enchiladas! Great service and quality food . So tasty and delicious.”
“Me and my family went there it was a great place if you want to get tacos thanks for the tacos”
“The food was exceptional. I catered the Fajita and Taco bars with quesadillas and enchiladas for the team. The entire staff was raving about how good and fresh everything was. We love Papacito’s. From our Team to Yours!Thank you. Great job, keep up the good work.”
