    We decided to stop by Papi's because from the outside it looked like a pretty authentic Mexican restaurant. It was lunch time but it was pretty slow. The place was small, but cute. The food was alright. Not great for the price. It wasn't that flavorful, kind of bland. They didn't have much options at the salsa bar. I feel like we wasted our money and cheat day on some mediocre food. :/

    Shrimp taco

    Atascadero treat. We chose Papi's. Easy access and awesome food. Loved the interior colors and cleanliness. We tried the shrimp ceveche, Shrimp tacos and the bowl of birria. They all were enjoyd to the max. Ample food for the price. Service was friendly.

I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was very friendly, welcomed us and told us we could sit wherever we would like and he took our order. He was Very friendly, very playful, which we enjoyed very much talking to him during our order. I Had lunch with my coworker. I ordered the Chile Verde plate. The meat was very tender and the chili sauce that was in it was not spicy but had a good flavor. The beans and rice gave it a great touch cause they both had a really good flavor as well. It came with either corn or flour tortillas which I ordered the corn tortillas which were very soft and tasted homemade. I will definitely eat there again when I'm in town. But you will have to go there and eat to form your own opinion.

    Mmm! This restaurant has the best tacos and most friendly service ever. This is our 2nd time here…read moreand it's going to be our regular stop when we drive up and down from the bay are to SoCal. I love getting the 2 taco plate with Chile verde and carnitas and my husband gets shrimp or fish dishes. We also enjoy the freshly made complimentary chips and salsa. We had a friendly female server our first time and this time we met Nacho who was so nice and welcoming. We could tell that the place really prioritizes their customer service along with their food. We will be back!

    Disappointed at how their hot food has declined in value over the years. Came in today for tacos de…read moretripa, asada, and barbacoa. All tacos were surprisingly bland? Why? Wondering if they've stopped seasoning their meat in order to cater to the demographic here in Atascadero.... Especially the carne asada I mean apart from having so much fatty meat, it had no flavor. The service is always great too, just a little disappointing. When I'm talking about flavor, especially for $4 a taco, I expect a hint of garlic, salt, pepper, lime, etc. I expect the meat to be marinated and flavorful. Maybe they already do that, given they do sell amazing carne preparada, but the hot food just hasn't been the same for the last 3-4 times I've gone. I like supporting local mexican businesses so I continue to go but today might've been my last. I don't think I'll be driving from Slo to Suprema Meat Market for their hot food again. The cold and prepared meats are of high quality though so this review is strictly for the hot food. I understand that they need to stay competitive with the market, but the total for 5 bite sized tacos was $22.... That's insane. For $4 a taco, I just expect more. I hope they review this and implement some change! I see that the owner reached out and I appreciate his response. Maybe I'll give it a try again.
