Big Papi's believes in keeping things real and fresh by incorporating high-quality ingredients and bold flavors. The place was very clean and has a tables to dine in as well. I ordered the Barria tacos and they were so good, comparable to food I eat in the DMV area. I loved the red spicy sauce that comes on the side, the tacos were cheesy and the meat was so tender. The staff were nice and there was plenty of parking, I would definitely go back.

This Papi's looks good, but tastes only "ok"…read more We were tired on a Sunday early-evening, (Jun 2026), and the staff of the Big Papi's location in Hagerstown seemed unmotivated, maybe worn out from towards the end of their day. We got a birria taco, a rockfish taco, a vegetarian burrito, and a guacamole. The fresh-made guac was quite good! Creamy, fresh, and generous. The Birria taco was good. Flavorful and tender and generous. But inexplicably they did not include a side of consommé sauce for dipping. Lots-of-sauce is a key part of a messy juicy birria taco. That would have just been a disappointment. But the fried rockfish taco, meh. It tasted fresh, but it tasted like something had burned in the oil. The fish seemed too chewy, overdone. The coating was overly-hard. The bean and rice burrito was also meh. The dull rice seemed too chewy, either overdone or cooked until it was too dry. And there were only a small amount of black beans, and no added veggies, so there was little flavor. Overall, we were disappointed in the Big Papi's location in Hagerstown. For over $35, we only liked $8 of the food. What was good, was very good. Maybe they were just having a bad evening. We might try Big Papi's again, but probably not this location.

I wanted to start off that this place was amazing. There is plenty of parking outside on the side…read moreor rear of the building. There is a cafe and pastry corner when you walk in to the left. The ambiance when Walking in, there was plenty of light and some ice cream in a cooler near the hosts stand. When you first walk in, you will not see the beauty or size of the restaurant until you are seated in the rear. There is a huge bar that seats atleast 16 customers. We ordered a couple of Pacificos and they were amazingly cold. The waitress was beautiful and so courteous. We ordered some chori-queso, lengua and steak tacos. It came with rice and beans. The lengua was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The flavors of the steak and lengua was out of this world. Not to add, but the individually packaged sauces were delicious as well. We will definitely be back.

I came with a friend and, even though I'm not usually a pupusa fan, I didn't want to sit there without ordering. I figured I'd try one and take the rest home to my son. I ordered three pupusas, starting with the chicken and cheese one--and it was amazing. I ate the whole thing... then the next two! They were so flavorful and well-priced. The host mentioned they also have a Spanish nightclub downstairs on nights and weekends, which adds to the cool vibe of the place. We ended the meal with dessert. I ordered the flan, which I didn't care for--it was too firm and just not my taste. (I make flan at home, and mine's better!) But the other dessert we tried, pictured, was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be back for the pupusas and the atmosphere--just skipping the flan next time.

First time here and it's pretty tasty. I got three different tacos, husband got chicken ramen, and…read morewe got Churros for dessert. Super cute modern aesthetic, clean dining room. Music is a bit too loud for my liking, but not unbearably so. You walk up to order off the menu board posted along the right side wall of the restaurant. Good in theory, and keeps with the modern styling of the place. However, as soon as there's anyone in front of you in line, you can't see the whole menu until you get to the front. So unless you've been here before or figured out what you want online in advance, you're still figuring it out by the time it's your turn to order. This slows things down on the front end. Then because I assume everything is made to order, it takes a long time to get your food. Literally took 21 minutes from when order was placed until it came out. And like I said, we didn't have a huge or complicated order. Not to mention there was only one guy who'd ordered before us in the dining room. The food was good overall. The carne asada was my favorite. The birria and street corn tacos were also good but there was a lot going on with them. The ingredients were kind of competing with each other whereas the simplicity of the Carne Asada taco made it delicious and a standout on its own. I love the fact that they make their own tortillas. I always appreciate when it's a freshly made tortilla. My husband said his Ramen was good. The only disappointment was the churros. They weren't good. They looked overly done and they kind of were. The outside was overly done, but the inside was underdone. Plus, they had a greasy taste to them. I love churros so I was super sad these weren't good. We will definitely be back as there are several other things I'd like to try on their menu. Hopefully, they'll figure out a way to speed things up a bit.

First off, don't be turned off by the fact that it's in a half empty shopping center. This place is…read morereally good! Second, the tacos are unique, Dont your typical TexMex taco. These are delicious in their own way with unique filings and sauces. But really what I like is the pizza! Crisp, tender crust was cooked perfectly. The toppings are generous and very tasty. Be aways that their large is truly large and they have an extra large that you might have a challenge to for in your car. Lol. The one thing I do not recommend is the fried zucchini petals. They are beer batter coated which is good for onion rings but not with zucchini. It ended up soggy and there was just too much coating to really find our taste the zucchini. The service is very friendly. The ambiance for dine in is cozy inviting. I am confident you will love this place.

Tried two of the special pizzas on the menu. Believed it was the chorizo pizza and the mushroom and…read morespinach. Both were unappetizing to the point we threw them out. The chorizo pizza felt way undercooked, lifting a slice it flopped all the way to the place I grabbed it by. Super greasy with pudding forming all over the top. The flavor was good from the chorizo and onions but was taken over. By the rubbery separated cheese. The spinach and mushrooms Alfredo pizza was worse somehow. The Alfredo looked like they pounded milk on the pizza. The liquid quickly overwhelming the box it was in and leaked everywhere. Same issue with the cheese, rubbery and just bad. Pizza dough was wet with no structure. And less to no toppings on the pizza. For the coast of spending $40 on 2 pizzas this was a pretty bad experience.
