About This Place

Located in the heart of Concord, CA, Papi Clary's Kitchen is a vibrant culinary gem that masterfully blends rich Filipino flavors with bold Mexican influences, crafting a truly unique dining experience. This cozy, no-frills restaurant exudes the warmth and authenticity of a cherished neighborhood spot, where every dish feels like a lovingly prepared home-cooked meal.

Fans of mouthwatering comfort food will find themselves quickly enamored with signature offerings like the Spicy Chicken Sandwich: two succulent, perfectly fried chicken pieces nestled between buttery Texas toast, layered with crisp coleslaw and a tantalizingly spicy mayo that lingers just the right amount on your palate. The balance of heat, tang, and crunch is nothing short of addictive.

For adventurous eaters, Papi Clary's elevates birria to new heights with their Birria Tacos and Birria Grilled Cheese Sandwich, which sparkle with tender, slow-cooked meat, fresh cilantro, and lively salsas that tease and satisfy. Their Birria Fries are an indulgent twist, featuring perfectly seasoned fries smothered with birria, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream—served thoughtfully with sauces on the side to preserve every crisp bite.

The fusion continues seamlessly with less typical offerings such as the Filipino classic Chicken Adobo Rice Bowl, delivering a savory and tangy depth that speaks to tradition, and the innovative Cheeseburger Lumpia, a playful yet flavor-packed special often highlighted on the menu.

Beverages here are just as inventive, with standout drinks like the Ube Horchata, a creamy, subtly sweet fusion of Filipino ube and traditional horchata, providing a refreshing balance to the bold flavors of the dishes. Their house-made Agua Fresca varieties, crafted from 100% real fruit, are equally revitalizing.

Customers consistently praise not only the food but the inviting atmosphere and genuine hospitality. Jaquez Thomas highlights the heartfelt approach behind the cooking, noting the tender perfection of the chicken sandwich and the unputdownable QuesaBirria taco. Spring Keosoupha shares delight at the warm customer service and clean, welcoming ambiance, appreciating the excellent value across both small and generous portions. Meanwhile, loyal food enthusiast Christopher Quibol reveals how Papi Clary’s has become a pilgrimage-worthy destination, standing out for its extraordinary chicken sandwich and wide-ranging birria creations—the lumpia and daily specials being particular favorites.

Papi Clary’s Kitchen is more than just a place to eat—it’s a celebration of bold, comforting flavors crafted with care and passion. Whether you’re seeking a quick, satisfying bite or a flavorful culinary exploration, Papi Clary’s delivers a genuine taste experience that will keep you coming back for more.

    Personally I really enjoyed this place. You could tell it’s a small hole in the wall spot that makes their food with love. The spicy chicken sandwich was amazing. Double pieces of chicken on it with Texas toast, coleslaw, some spicy mayo and perfectly cooked chicken. The chicken was tender and cooked to perfection. It was honestly hard to put down. The QuesaBirria taco was amazing too. Perfect amount of cheese, sauce was nice and mild, and the meat was tender and cooked to perfection. There’s nothing bad I could say about the food at all as it was all enjoyable. Only bad thing I can say is it was a bit loud and we had to clean our tables ourselves but hey other than that, I had no problem ! I will definitely be back.

    We were absolutely thrilled to find this restaurant and give it a try. The customer service was outstanding and the food was delicious. They had many choices which included both small and big portions at great prices. The whole place was clean and the people were really nice. We will definitely come back again to try more tasty things! We had Birria Quesadilla, Birria Tacos, and Fried Chicken Fries. We loved the food and were stuffed! We left feeling happy and had a big smile on our faces. Only regret eating the food faster than we could take a picture of it!

    Been big on Papi Clary’s Kitchen for years now. We’ve driven multiple times from the Central Valley just to grab some food all the way in Concord. The chicken sandwich is as good as everyone says, giant piece of chicken, super flavorful slaw. Top 3 I’ve ever had. The CJ special is my favorite, and all the Birria variations are hitters, especially the lumpia. The Dubai chocolate cups were fire too. Heard they even do traditional Filipino BBQ on Friday nights. Can’t recommend checking it out enough if you’re looking for flavorful, filling food and supporting small business and women/POC owned businesses.
