You order at a counter and are given a number to display at your table. Our food took only a few minutes to arrive. The server also brought over a box holding three salsas in squeeze bottles. The green salsa was pretty mild and the orange one was super hot. The dark one was, I think, chipotle. I didn't care for the chipotle. The tacos looked great and were each pretty packed with ingredients. Pollo tacos - I thought the chicken was a bit dry and, because of that, disappointing. Veggie - The veggie were filled with cooked onion, mushroom and peppers. Although they were well prepared and held a lot of veggies, there was no seasoning, so the taste was pretty flat/boring. I had to rely on adding guac and some salsa for flavor. I was hoping the veggie would have some flavor without having to rely on sauces. Al Pastor - was very good. Guacamole - comes "market price". The side we got was $3, which I think was a good value. The guac was flavorful and was a nice portion. I am glad I had it to supplement the disappointing Veggie taco and the dryness of the Pollo. The corn tortillas were good. The place is nice and comfortable.

I wish they had tastier and thicker hot sauces, but I just used the ones I had at home. I am pretty dang picky with Mexican food and these tacos are better than all the other ones I've had in the area. I will definitely be back for takeout!

This bright and colorful food truck caught my view as I entered the Sunoco gas station in Hickory Ridge Village Center off Freetown Road in Columbia. I placed my order, then checked the air in my tires and got gas--two birds with one stone! By the time I returned, my lunch was ready. They serve freshly prepared Guatemalan-style food with very generous portions. I ordered the tacos choosing 2 flavors each of chicken and steak, burrito filled with tender steak pieces and then a Carne Asada burrito. The flavors were delicious, ingredients were fresh and nothing was overly spicy. Sliced cucumber and radish with sauces topped each dish and the service was friendly with no long wait. A convenient spot for a quick, tasty bite. I'll definitely be back to try more.

Note any checks totalling $40 will have an automatic gratuity added. I didnt get a lot of pictures as we were hungry and didnt think to snap any photos. I will definitely visit again.

Our energy was a lil heavy so we went straight for a prickly pear margarita and a blackberry margarita (both with a sugared rim). Baby, let me tell you, GOD was guiding the hands of the bartender last night, our drinks were so good. We pretty much stuck to apps last night (but I will tell you about food I've had here recently). We did house guac, queso fundido with gringo meat, esquites (elote off the cob) and the honey tajin wings once a couple more folk joined us. I've had street tacos here, ribeye tacos and the short rib torta - it's all absolutely delicious. Our waitress was on point (I didn't get her name) and she appreciated that we looked much happier when we left than when we arrived - she even brought out the bartender so we could give that gorgeous Amazon her props in person. I had a second drink - it was a peach sangria and it was delicious. Very light and refreshing, totally recommend. I've also been there when they have trivia night - it's crowded and tight but it's a great vibe and that's what makes Papi's Hampden an easy choice.

I got the esquites, crunchy beef tacos, and carnitas on soft corn tortillas. Once I got home, I was really disappointed with how carelessly the tacos were packed up. The beef tacos were a huge mess. I feel like packing the toppings separately might have helped. The carnitas were lacking a lot of flavor and very dry. I remember loving the esquites but these didn't blow me away like before. The tortilla chips were the best thing about the meal. Maybe this is the kind of spot you dine-in instead of takeout? I'll also mention that the online menu states that you get 2 tacos per order but I was actually given 3 each. I probably would've just got one order had I known.

The lunchtime line was long but moved quickly and lets you decide from their wall menu. I ordered Birria Tacos from their specials which are listed on a board closer to the cash register. They were fucking delicious! With deep flavors and lots of dipping stew, I super enjoyed this! I also tried their Tortilla Chips with salsa. They were excellent-- thin, crunchy, and grease-free. Taco 'bout a hidden treasure! ;) NOTES/TIPS: **You need to go through the supermarket to get to this spot. **Plenty of tables. High turnover. Friendly service and patrons.
