Tacos Los Papis
Tacos Los Papis is a taqueria in central Cuauhtémoc specializing in grilled tacos prepared over charcoal for a smoky flavor. The restaurant offers various meat options including beef, pork, and chorizo, served with fresh toppings like avocado, onions, and nopal cactus.
The restaurant was founded by a young entrepreneur who wanted to create a taqueria with better options, higher service quality, and faster delivery than established competitors. The focus on charcoal grilling and meat quality became its trademark approach.
The taqueria serves as a gathering place where neighbors and workers from the area share meals and take breaks together. It embodies everyday eating culture focused on quick, honest food and social connection rather than decoration or formality.
The location is easy to find with seating available inside or the option to take your order to go. Hours run from 9am to 10pm, making it convenient to visit at almost any time of day, and orders can also be placed through the DiDi Food app.
The restaurant prepares special dishes like costilla, or boneless rib, served with avocado, grilled onions, and roasted nopal, showcasing traditional Mexican cooking methods. This specialty is less common on menus and offers insight into culinary traditions beyond standard tacos.
