Freshly cooked food, either inside the bar or outside at the food truck depending on time of day. We watched them cook it right after we ordered so it's definitely fresh! Served on paper plates as the name suggests. Large portions of meat, we got a shrimp super burrito and a fish quesadilla and both had a nice portion of well cooked seafood. Maybe a little pricey, $16 for a burrito and $16 for a quesadilla but definitely filling and delicious. Planning to come back here for take out or dine in since it's near where I often work out
Love this place for a quick lunch on my lunch break or while drinking at O'Malleys. Love the super quesadillas!!
Located at (or I guess inside) O'Malley's pub, this unassuming Mexican place has great burritos. Service was easy and quick and you can order ahead of time for convenient pickup. The price is solid for Mexican food in this area and the taste and quantity of food is perfect. Definitely one of my go-to places for burritos in the PA/MV/LA area.
Luis my name is Edward, I have you my word to try you're food it was really good. However the service not good. I waited no one greeted me or acknowledged me. The lady cooking the food walked passed me twice before taking my order. I suggest you fix the customer service to have your business thriving. Cheers Ed
Taco truck... Dive Bar... line of hungry people... The tacos were excellent. Nice crisp on the carnitas. However, I nearly broke a tooth on a large bone fragment hiding in the carnitas. Otherwise, excellent tacos.
I'll start off with what a genius idea to have a mexican food truck on the same lot as a pub. There is another food truck a couple blocks down and a store front taqueria in the plaza next door, but I've only gone to Paper Platez. Ambiance - there are two outdoor tables next to the food truck with 4 benches and shade . Service - The people are nice and super friendly. Food - I've tried the carne asada super burrito, birria tacos, tacos, and chips. All were good. My wife loves the birria tacos. They're even good when you re-warm leftovers in an air fryer.
I recently tried Paper Platez for the first time and I was really impressed. I ordered the vegetarian burrito and it was delicious. The burrito was huge and filling, and it was packed with flavor. The beans were cooked perfectly, the rice was fluffy, and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The burrito was also served with a side of salsa and guacamole, which were both excellent. The service at Paper Platez was also very friendly and attentive. I asked for extra salsa verde and Rojas for the burrito. I was far too hungry to take any food pictures and I literally inhaled the burrito. Food pictures would be on my agenda next time around.
Wowzers! They need a sixth star! This little food truck has a lot of big flavor. It is so good that I didn't want to give this review because, then EVERYONE would come over here and the lines would be too long! But I really love the food, and I can't wait to try their other offerings! THEY HAVE PUPUSAS!!! Yaaaaay! After many other of my favorite Salvadoran places that served pupusas closed down soon after the pandemic, I was afraid that no others would replace them. Along comes Paper Platez and I am blown away. I went straight for the Salvadoran menu, naturally, and ordered the pork papusas and a Salvadoran tamale. If you never had a papusas, it is a stuffed pancake made with maize and stuffed with meat, beans, cheese or loroco or a combination with cheese. It is delicious! But here, the outside was crispy! A CRISPY PAPUSAS?? YES!! And it works!! It really fired off my saliva glands, it was so flavorful! I had some room for my tamale, and the first bite was sinfully good. The look on my face looked like I just . . . use your imagination here . . . But I was in heaven! It takes something really special food-wise to make me cry with joy. The texture was ultra creamy and just melted in my mouth! The flavor of the meat and the seasoned maize (and this, I think, contributed to the umami here). This had to be one of, if not the most delightful, memorable, delicious eating experience I have had in ages. Highly recommended. Paper Platez is deliciously open from 11:00am and closes at 9:00pm. I am going there again to try some of their other delicacies!
