One of my favorite Potrero Hill restaurants. Easy outdoor seating to take a noisy kid and food that makes everyone happy! My kid loves the fried fish tacos. We often ask for a a flour tortilla on the side too.. I personally am a sucker for their sauced up burrito. One of the better options in the city!

Food was good. A bit different from the "usual" Mexican restaurant food. Meaning, not your typical enchilada/ taco etc. Guess I'd call it Mexican food with a twist.

This place is awesome. It has one of the (imo) definitive burritos in SF, which comes out wrapped 3-ply with aluminum foil on a ceramic plate. I don't why, but it just screams SF hidden gem vibes. The place is typically very busy and for good reason: their options are vast, their fajitas hot n' steamy, and the burritos bigger than your forearm. I usually stick with steak for my meat of choice, but I also appreciate the short-rib option, as well as duck and some other lesser-seen meats in mexican cuisine. Will update this after a few more visits, but I think this stands nicely at 4.5 stars!

5 stars across the board at this place! We got two taco plates and mixed the tacos to try a bunch of great flavors. The food is amazing the service is quick and the ambiance is akin to a neighborhood mom and pop joint. Love the cantaloupe agua frescas and their salsa.

Came by Papito for an early and quick dinner to try their tacos. Party of 1. Walked in, got a seat right away outside on their lovely parklet. Tacos come in orders of two on either crispy or soft tortilla. All served with sour cream. Chips and three salsas also come to the table automatically. I really liked the orange salsa that had a bit of a sweeter flavor. Papitto taco - tempura shrimp, chipotle remoulade, green cabbage slaw, pico de gallo. It was hot out and this sounded like a more refreshing taco. Before the tacos came out, i was questioning the price a little bit as each taco was $8. That's a lot for a taco in my opinion. Once they came out though, I knew why. Tacos were STACKED! Like to the point I couldn't even pick it up without thing falling off. Each taco had three juicy shrimps so 6 shrimps total. Flavors on point. Shrimp was tempura fried well and slaw was crispy for that added bite. The only thing I wasn't a fan of, actually, was the size. It seemed too big and made a huge mess all over the plate that I had to go back in and eat with a fork. Delicious taco that I think could be brought down to 3 manageable sized tacos with 2 shrimps each.

Best pozole Ive had in SF! The seasoning is great and the salsas are so yummy. Their tortas are full of meat and flavor. The servers are quick and kind. Papito is my favorite restaurant for a comfortable night out or for a warm night in.

I have had almost all of the most highly acclaimed burritos in the city but THIS super burrito is the best by FAR. I specifically got the shrimp super burrito. So gooey and soft with lovely cheese and sour cream and guac mixed through out. The tortilla was nicely goldened. This is a great bang for your buck and so so delicious. Their housemade guac is also veryyyy good. I will always be returning here when I am in the mood for a good burrito. Service is also pretty fast! I would recommend that they change up their playlist.. we heard the same song four times during one meal. But, that is an easy fix!

Love this place! Came here for my birthday with some friends, and it was easy to grab a table outside on a Saturday evening though it definitely got busier as the night went on. The waitstaff were very patient with us as we took a long time to order. Occasionally it was tough to get their attention because it was so busy inside, but our food and drinks came out in a timely manner and they were happy to turn on the heater for us outside. We each got a drink (I got a Paloma), we shared ceviche as an appetizer, and I got a Burrito Mojado with carnitas and half red and half green sauce. Paloma: 5/5, the drinks were huge here! The Paloma was refreshing and not too strong. Ceviche: 4/5, the ceviche was pretty good, serving it in a margarita glass made it fairly unwieldy to eat from. Burrito Mojado: 5/5, absolutely the best thing I had. This burrito is HUGE, definitely could get 3 meals out of it. The carnitas were crispy still inside and they don't skimp out on filling. Getting both sauces was also definitely the move -- they were both delicious! Overall, had such a great time. Being outside in our little booth made it feel so cozy but the overall environment is so lively and fun. Can't believe there wasn't a huge wait for this place -- would absolutely come again!

I love finding good, reasonably priced, casual eateries in SF - that's exactly what Papitos in Potrero Hill is. They give free chips with three salsas of varying spice levels, that all taste great. I got the elote and short rib burrito - both were really hearty and tasty. Their service is good and they don't have an sf mandate which is amazing. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual spot with quality food.
