Papi’s Tacos & Burger Eatery - Chilaquiles - Tex-Mex Near Me - Destin, Florida

Located in a strip mall, the outside can be deceiving. It's a small,quaint restaurant with plenty of seating and a nice ambiance. We were greeted as soon as we entered and the service was great! The food is a mix of typical Mexican and smash burgers. All hand-made while you wait, the food is excellent. The prices are reasonable. Definitely worth searching out! We will come back. read more

Great smash burgers, fries and tacos! Great service from nice people. In the Target shopping center. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Our family ate here on our last night on vacation. So much better than all the other places we have been this week! We wish we found it earlier because we would be back. I wish more Mexican restaurants served their food so authentically. Queso and special smash burger sauce are delish. Smash burger looked awesome and my son loved it. If we come back to Destin we will be back! Wonderfully family owned spot. read more

Food was awesome, super good nachos! The service was also top notch. Whenever we visit Destin this place is on our list of must visit for a wonderful meal. read more

Amazing food. We tried this place for dinner and liked it so much that went back the following morning for breakfast! Dinner: Had the beef street tacos and the chicken enchiladas with the salsa verde and both tasted great. The salsa verde was delicious and had some spice but didn't kill you. Breakfast: we tried the Huevos Rancheros and the Chilaquiles. Both spectacular!! This is a family owned restaurant and everything is made fresh. Owners are very friendly. I highly recommend. We ate everything so fast that didn't think about taking pictures until we had already finished! read more

Papi’s Tacos & Burger Eatery - Too good to stop to take photos! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Destin, Florida

My first time here, this was the best Smashburger I have had in a very long time. Clean and the staff is amazing.

Excellent Mexican food operated by a sweet family from Austin, TX. I ordered the carne guisada. It was delicious as was the beans and rice. My husband ordered the street tacos. They were perfectly seasoned and I ate one and enjoyed the fresh cilantro and onions. My husband also ordered a horchata. I took a sip and it was heavenly. The sweet lady who took our order was friendly and helpful. I love how she even had her children helping. Forget the chain restaurants and give Papi's a try! read more

Boy, I tell you what, it is great to have a family run Tex-Mex place here in Destin! The food has fabulous flavors, especially the green and red salsa and the tacos and burritos were amazingly fresh and zesty Susan was absolutely terrific and the entire staff there gives you a neighborhood "Cheers" atmosphere. Every day they have a different special and Fridays it is smash burgers I went with the Papi's burrito and crispy taco... Excellent! Furthermore, they don't waste time on delivering your food! read more

The tacos were great and the smash burger was one of the best I've had. We were served quickly and the server was very helpful. Great place to visit for authentic Mexican food and smash burger read more

A quaint little place near Target that I was soo happy to have found. I wish I could've packed them up and brought them back to DFW with me! Beef enchiladas were delicious. Tacos were delicious. Horchata was delicious!!!!! read more

The only reason why this rating is not five stars is because the fries had absolutely no seasoning, not even salt. Besides that, their tacos are excellent, and their Horchata is one of the best I've ever had! Just get that seasoning down and you'll be perfect! read more

Only breakfast taco in Destin. 7am. Go go go. I'd give it 5 but I grew up eating tacos and nothing ever compares. The staff is very nice & I'm sure would accommodate any small special requests. All I ask is for the tortillas to be cooked more. No biggie. I've tried several different tacos and burritos. All great. Go at 7am. Show your support. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Also the trio of salsa and chips were a great touch! We will be back.

When i entered this restaurant i was immediately greeted and given a menu! They have a classic mexican style menu that has a good handful of tasty options. They gave me this super good green salsa that was to die for. i ordered the 4 street taco entree and they did not disappoint! The restaurant was very clean and put together, you can tell that it is new but i definitely wouldn't consider that a bad thing! The staff were wonderful, my waiter was excellent and very personable. i did see that they offer "fiesta meals" which i see as a catering option so i will definitely be coming back and ordering for any big events! read more

Finally, good Tex Mex in Destin, Florida! We came to Papi's Tacos based on the reviews and word of mouth from other locals. We have unable to find decent enchiladas in this town after living here for 6 years, until today. They have a limited menu, but everything we had was excellent. Cheese enchiladas were made with a chili con carne sauce which is Tex Mex. No red or green enchiladas! owners are from Austin and know their Tex Mex. It's our new favorite for Mexican in Destin. read more

Tacos are horrible in my opinion. Mexican rice is just white rice. Bad. Don't go here

I've been back 4-5 times as a local and have never been disappointed. It's a small, family owned business so if you want Taco Bell drive through fast food, then go to Taco Bell. It's fresh, hand made, excellent quality food and it's prepared and served by a beautiful young family. I can't wait to go back. read more

TEX-MEX!!! Street tacos etc. This is a sister location to Austin TX. Doesn't serve alcohol but allows BYO. Great food/price and BYO. Enough said!? read more

Purchased the Al pastor tacos to go and Papis Tacos did not disappoint! The marinade on the meat is on point and the red and green salsas are full with flavor and no spice. They give you a roasted jalapeño to give you the extra kick of spice if you so desire! Sprinkle a little salt and.. BAM! Perfect! I would highly recommend Papis Tacos ! You won't be disappointed! The staff's very nice too! read more

Papi's was SO good!! My family was in Destin for a week, and we went here twice for dinner! The burger with Papi's sauce is delicious! The chicken quesadillas and steak nachos were some of the best I've ever had! Everything was so fresh! The inside was clean, welcoming, and our food came out quickly! The staff were super friendly and attentive! I would recommend this to anybody visiting the Destin area! read more

Looking for fresh ingredient burritos in Destin and stopped into Papi Taco. Unassuming and friendly also clean. We had chips with their 3 fantastic salsas, the hot is really hot and good. Shared an al pastor burrito and it was devoid of flavor unfortunately. Ingredients were for sure fresh but missed on all else. Started out promising but ultimately the burrito was bland. read more

So good. Best pastor tacos I've ever had. Excellent, friendly service. This is a must stop while on Destin.

Great tacos and guacamole. My kids had pancakes that were shaped like a butterfly and a bear, so cute! Excited to go back and try the breakfast tacos. Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

I've tried this new place 3 times already. It's a small family owned and run business that has great food. A limited menu but everything I've tried is delicious. THEY USE REAL CHEESE, not the fake queso sauce that all the other Destin Mexican restaurants use. This is classic Tex Mex! Enchiladas are fantastic! I've had the chicken with green sauce and the cheese enchiladas- solid!! The crispy tacos are also amazing. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I even came late with my family, not realizing what their hours were. They welcomed us in and prepared fresh tasty food!! I highly recommend! read more

The Papi smash burger is legit. I know it's a Mexican food spot, and they do have amazing Mexican food, but order the #1 The Papi Smash Burger. This family owned restaurant is a blessing to this community, the service is amazing! Love the interior of the restaurant as well, very clean and comfy to hangout and smash some tacos and burgers. read more

Great Smash Burger!!! Great staff very kind and considerate. Plus nice environment. Looking forward to coming back.

Papi's NEVER misses. My 3rd time in, a different order every time, and I always leave saying that was the best! Papi's smash burger tonight. AMAZING! read more

Stopped in today to try Papi's. So glad we did! Everything was terrific. Hot, fresh, great flavors, great portions. The chips were fresh-fried, the salsas were not the run-of-the-mill ones that all of the other spots around here serve. Give Papi's a try, you'll be doing yourself a favor! read more

Excellent tacos!!! So fresh a d packed with flavor! If you want good street tacos this is the place to be!

Service was so very disappointing, waiting 45 minutes for eggs pancakes and bacon for my daughter, 4 tacos for wife and rice beans and eggs for myself. While arriving and sitting was quick because the restaurant only had one other family besides us. After our was taken, then sent to the kitchen, during this time a family of 6 came in and two other couples also arrived, the family of 6 got their food and the 2 other couple got their food before we did, then to add a insult to injury they take my food to another gentleman table, that customer had to bring me my food from his table, my daughter was crying and me and my wife are upset, we spoke to the server and a believe manager, all I was told that they were at fault and short staffed ( I'm truly getting tired of these excuses) I'm paying premium prices for premium service. I understand places get overwhelmed, but there was nothing offered for mistakes made, I would have been happy with a drink refill would have gone a long way. Please learn from this and strive to do better. read more

Food was incredible... Service was quick and friendly. Incredible authentic tacos !!!!!!!
