Went back. Chicken fajitas were pretty good. Lots of onions and peppers. P got the birroa tacos and she really liked the crispiness of the tortillas. She thought they were really good. The grande michelada is a lot of liquid - be prepared! read more

The food was fresh, hot, and seasoned well. Service was great. We weren't rushed, questions were answered, and wait staff was informative and friendly. It isn't a fancy place, but the food and service are worth your time. I ordered a combo fajitas ( steak and chicken). I'm not a fan of beans so I asked for double cilantro rice. My daughter had tortilla soup and loved it. I'll definitely go back when I'm in that area again. read more

I was in the area visiting family and had a craving for shrimp fajitas and a margarita and this was such a hidden gem find ! It was so cute and clean with great decor! It just has that neighborhood staple feel to it. I ordered shrimp fajitas to go and La Flaca margarita while I waited. The service was great overall, they were able to accommodate all my modifications with my drink and ordered and everything came out perfect and was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back read more

We came on Easter and EVERYTHING was fantastic! Drinks were strong and delicious! Great food! Big portions! Jasmine and Lisette were awesome servers!! We got to meet Misael,the owner, and he was such a humble and cool guy!!! We will definitely be back!!! I wish I could give them 10 stars!! read more

Do not order from this place unless you want to get ripped off. Ordered combination fajitas for two, large queso, and quesadillas. Portions were basically for one. Few charro beans each, tiny scoop of rice, and no fajita setup. Meat tasted like rubber, like it was microwaved. They claim you get 4 oz of salsa with the total order, and it came in what looked like a Jell-O shot container. Ordered an extra 8 oz of salsa and got charged $10 even though the website says $5. Total was $84. There were only two groups in there on a Saturday, which should tell you something. read more

Good food, excellent service! Josaline (spelling) was our waitress and she was great!! Very attentive! She also offered me to try the mole before I decided! Brought my 4yr old nephew two lollipops at the end. Hope Papins still around, that location. is hard to keep business for some reason. I will be back for drinks for sure! read more

Had a great breakfast. The service was excellent. I can't wait to come back. I highly recommend them.

I had a late doctor appointment and had not eaten all day. Since it was late I decided not to eat much. I order the app trio with seasoned chicken quesadilla, Blanca queso And guacamole paired with the BROKEN HEART margarita. My table mates told me I made a great choice. My server was Gisele, which I also recommend! The service is fast and friendly as well as the power. They have great food and drinks. The establishment was very clean and kept. BTW if you see the local police officers eating there you know it is good and a safe place. SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES read more

Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! We were a bit skeptical at first--the restaurant is tucked away and the parking lot was empty (though we did arrive close to closing time). But we're so glad we gave it a shot! The food was absolutely delicious, freshly made and full of flavor. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and aesthetically pleasing. Definitely a hidden gem we'll be coming back to! read more

We have been here three times in the the last couple weeks. service is great. We've had fajitas tacos, enchiladas all really good. The service is really good also read more

Mediocre food. The tamales were old, cold, dry and almost impossible to eat, in fact we didn't eat them. Missing ingredients for the 'house' Margaritas. Will not go back. Service: Excellent. read more

Well I'm adding Papin's to my list of favorite restaurants. I love a good fish Taco. This is just the way I like it. It has white fish, cabbage and a special sauce. You can choose if you'd like a flower or a corn tortilla. I love corn tortillas for this. The black beans and rice were excellent. And the salsa is one of the best I've had locally. It's a unique flavor and is moderately spicy which is just the way I like it. This is definitely a restaurant I'm going to be coming back too often. read more

Service was excellent. We had breakfast and it was delicious. I ordered a pancake instead of toast with my Sunnyvale Special. The pancake was small, but very delicious. My wife ordered the migas, it was also delicious. The potatoes were good but spicy. The beans were not ordinary refried beans, they had delicious spice to them. Again , service was excellent!! read more

My wife and I were driving by and notice a new restaurant. The location is great we stopped by for lunch on a Saturday and the food options were amazing. I had the beef fajitas and my wife got the papin shrimp. They were great options loved the. We have been there many times for breakfast and the chilaquiles rojos and verdes are wow just like home cooking. I strongly recommend them. The cafe de olla is a must have real traditional Mexican coffee. This is a must on sundays they have mariachi playing. Food and service is top notch. Give this place a try!! read more

This is our go-to neighborhood Mexican place. Their food has been consistently delicious. We've had their quesabirrias (my favorite), empanadas, enchiladas, and nachos - everything has been so good. And their carajillo is the best part - so good and unique. Their service is great and we will definitely continue to keep coming here. read more

Not a friendly atmosphere servers/hostess was not very warm made my wife and I feel unwelcome. This was my second and last time as we left before ordering I was told they ran out of ground beef 1.5 hours before closing. Who does that. Racism at its finest. They even charged us for the two sips of coke $4. I guess margins are tight. read more

Stopped by for dinner and was really happy with everything. The chimichanga was crispy and had great flavor, definitely one of the better ones I've had around here. Drinks were great too, especially the margarita. Service was quick and friendly, we will definitely be back! read more

Multiple things. So we decided to try this restaurant out on a Sunday, which was yesterday and first thing I noticed was there was only three or four cars there which to me says a lot of people don't go here, especially when the restaurant next-door is packed. The table at which me and my family were placed at had dirty chairs ( other people hair was stuck on the chair) and the table itself was uneven. My plate would be wobbly sitting in front of me, which would make sauce spill a little bit if not careful. Second, I ordered the Quesabirrias meal which looked good in the picture and good in front of me but had an awful smell and taste. I'm not sure if that meat was from earlier on in the week or what, but it did not taste as good as it looked. My son had quesadillas with rice which he didn't like and didn't finish My daughter had Carna Asada sopas which my daughter ate with no problem but later that night she had developed severe food poisoning symptoms. Paid over $100 for a bad experience Me and my family will not be returning to this restaurant read more

Exceptional service and everything was amazing. I will be back. Super clean restaurant. Going back to try there breakfast soon. 5 stars.

We used to go when it was Tacos La Carretera. We went not knowing it had been sold and was changed to Papin's. Definitely not going back. The only good thing were the drinks and that's probably because it's the same bartender. We ordered the Queso Flameado, it arrived at the table looking like chorizo covered in shredded cheese that had been put in the oven. My husband had the $20 Carne Asada and it had no flavor at all. He used the corn tortillas to make tacos and you could only taste the tortillas. This dinner was very disappointing and not worth the $61 check. read more

We did round 2 for a late lunch today, WOW. We both had the enchiladas, amazing. The star of the show was the tres leches. So glad to find this hidden gem read more

My hubby and I went to this restaurant for the first time. The restaurant was clean and everyone was nice. My husband got the chimichanga and I got the Empanadas! I love the rice! It was not over cooked and seasoned perfect! I got a Pina Colada and my hubby got a Margarita both drinks were good! I like the variety on their menu so we will be retuning because I do want to try some other things! Prices were great as well! read more

To start, the music here was WAY too loud. It was so loud that everyone had to raise their voices to talk which then made it even louder in there. Our service was fine except they messed up my child's meal not once, but twice, so he had to wait for a long time to be able to eat. I ordered a steak quesadilla and the meat in this definitely didn't have the texture of steak. The queso was superb. My daughter had a burger and said it was very good. Overall I might consider going back if the music weren't so overwhelmingly loud. Im giving four stars when three is more warranted as I know this is a newer business and hopefully they get better. read more

Durst thing we noticed that Dining Room smells bad, then after seating they brought Chips that were cold and were stale, we then got up and informed the receptionist that we were not going to stay and eat, place stunk and bad chips are a indication of everything else so we left without eating. read more

Best tacos around, very authentic. The staff is very personable and the margaritas are always perfect.

great food...chicken fajitas were very well prepared! Still working out "newness" but good service, great food and beverages. Reasonably priced! We will be back! read more

The sweet tea was spot on. The chips and salsa were very good. The staff's demeanor was very pleasant. The entrees were not good at all. I had beef enchiladas. They tasted like they had dirt in them. The meat and rice were very bland. My friend tried a shrimp dish where the shrimp were coated in some red sauce. She said her dish was also very bland. Service was pretty much limited to food delivery and the bill. read more

Stopped at Papins as I was passing through town and I had a shrimp cocktail and the enchiladas dinner and honestly was surprised at how good the food was.
