For $25 this birria was abysmal. The salsa was decent, though canned salsas are usually better. The guacamole was tasty and fresh, as were the chips. A disappointing meal considering 1 entree + chips & guac was nearly $40.

There is only outdoor seating, primarily covered in a built outdoor shack. I ordered a burrito with pastor, two tacos with chorizo and pastor, carne asada plate and churros. Everything was delicious, no complaints, other than the tacos needed more cilantro (for my preference) and the pinto beans were bland. They included extra corn tortillas, two tomatillos salsas, and two smoky chipotle chili salsas. I asked for no soft cheeses. The pastor and chorizo were flavorful. I would've liked the pastor to be more crispy, but I still really enjoyed it. The burrito was the best burrito, especially with the salsas, that I've enjoyed so far since living on this side of the coast. The burrito came with a ton of fresh plain salad. Double fresh corn tortillas for each taco makes me so happy! That's the only right way to have a legit Mexican taco. The Carne Asada from the plate dish was pounded thin, mild flavor. Came with a grilled half of a jalapeño, small side plain salad, grilled nopales, grilled onions, rice, and pinto beans. Even though the pinto beans were bland, the salsas made up for the lack of flavor. Churros were warm and fresh. Wish this place was a lot closer to me, otherwise, I would frequent it a lot more!

I tried a few of their tacos, their barbacoa, carnitas and asada, they all came in 2 homemade tortillas with cilantro, onions and a lime on the side. They were all very tasty, but what really set them apart was their salsas. They came with a salsa verde and a salsa roja. The salsa roja was one of the best I have ever tried, it was smokey, spicy and unique. They also have some incredible aqua fresca with quite a few options, such as horchata, lemon, pecan and coconut. Definitely do not sleep on them! You get a large cup for only $3 and they are worth every penny! There is not a ton of seating options, so take out is probably your best bet, but they do have 6 tables with 4 chairs each in an enclosed space if you are interesting in eating there. The food came out quick, the staff was super friendly and most importantly, the food was delicious. Give them a shot if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Leland!

Smoky Chicken That Needs No Sauce!…read more We popped into Papi's Peruvian Chicken on a Sunday, hoping to beat the church crowd, but it turns out, the real blessing was waiting inside. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, my buddy leaned over and said, "Man, someone's smoking something and it smells delicious." When we stepped inside, his grin got even bigger as he turned to me and said, "It's this place, great choice!" We both went for the smoked dark quarter with street corn salad. My buddy chose green beans, and I went with the Inca pork beans. I asked the woman at the counter to recommend a sauce, and she took the time to explain each one, patiently answering all my basic questions. It turns out, the chicken didn't need any sauce at all. It was smoky, moist, and packed with flavor--crispy on the outside with a deep, wood-fired taste that lingered with every bite. The Inca pork beans were hearty and full of flavor, a solid sidekick to the main event. The street corn salad, while fresh, could have used a bit more kick--maybe a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of lime to brighten it up. The interior's industrial strip mall vibe is functional but could benefit from a few authentic touches--like Peruvian art or music--to match the rich flavors coming out of the kitchen. If you're craving smoky, fall-off-the-bone chicken, Papi's Peruvian Chicken is worth the trip. I'll definitely be back to try more!
