PapiVivi Latin Food & Catering/Tripleta, Chopped Cheese & Shuco City

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, who was extremely welcoming and kind. The store had a warm, inviting atmosphere with Puerto Rican décor on the walls that made it feel authentic and homey. The menu was extensive, but I decided to go with the bowl—which included rice, beans, my choice of meat, lettuce, and tomatoes—as well as a tripleta sandwich. The flavors were absolutely amazing, rich, and familiar, reminding me of the food I grew up with as a Puerto Rican son. Everything—from the rice and beans to the perfectly cooked meat and tender tripleta—tasted authentic and delicious. After I finished eating, the owner came over to ask what I thought, genuinely appreciated my feedback, and even gave me a free cup! 10/10—this place is a must-visit, and I’ll definitely be coming b

We stopped in for the chopped cheese, I ate my half and the rest of my lady's. She loved it nearly as much as I did but can never finish her portion. We got a sample of their house made rice, everything was top notch. Made to order, fresh and the staff was friendly as hell. We will absolutely be back.

I am so happy to find this place. Often when I go to a place that is a different culture than mine I don't feel completely welcome. There were three of the nicest men here who welcomed me. Gave me free samples and made me really comfortable. Imagine my excitement when the food was as great as the staff. My first Puerto Rican sandwich. It will not be my last. The tripleta was so delicious I'm already planning my next trip. I want to try everything on their menu. I highly recommend.

This is the best Puerto Rican restaurant in Massachusetts. I have had their chop cheese its my favorite. The Alcapurria they have is delicious. Everyone at least should try their food once in their life lol. And also, Turkish people! I am turkish and I would definitely recommend their food it will make you feel close to home from far away.

Best sandwiches in town. No debate. Papi Vivi doesn’t just make sandwiches — they actually put care into everything. The bread is fresh, the meat is seasoned perfectly, and the portions are real. Nothing skimpy, nothing dry, nothing bland. You can tell they take pride in what they’re serving. Every bite tastes intentional. And the sauce? Game changer. It ties everything together and makes you want to come back the next day. The energy inside is great too. Friendly staff, fast service, and you can feel that it’s family-driven and built with heart. If you haven’t tried Papi Vivi yet, you’re missing out. Easily the best sandwiches in the area.
