OCEAN CITY, MD: Papi's Tacos Ocean City keeps winning awards for a reason. The food is incredible,…read morethe atmosphere is fun, and they go above and beyond to make sure everyone can enjoy a great meal. Their beach‑style patio is such a vibe: picnic tables, sandy floors, and leashed dogs welcome. It is the kind of place where you instantly relax. What really impressed us is how inclusive their menu is. Alongside their classic favorites, they offer a full gluten‑free menu and a full vegan menu, so no one has to miss out. Whatever your dietary needs are, you will find something delicious here. If you have tried Papi's, tell us your favorite dish, we need to know what to order next.

Got chips and salsa, that was fine…read more I ordered a burrito bowl and asked for no salsa, no cream toppings, no sauce. It came with a bunch of white stuff mixed in the corn. I asked what it was and the man told me mayo. I sent it back and she told me it was sour cream. It was very bland. I barely ate any of it. The waitress didn't ask why. She took a full plate away with no questions. My husband got a burrito and he liked it. The problem was the rojo sauce had went sour. Had a strong sour smell. We ordered two shrimp tacos and the shrimp had such a strong fish smell. I didn't touch it. I didn't want to be sick on my trip. I spent over $65 on a terrible dining experience. We sent almost 2 full shrimp tacos back and she didn't even ask if something was wrong with the food. I go outside and look at my bank app, she charged my card for someone else's order and didn't even tell me. Someone caught it and reversed it. Now I have to wait for the money to go to my checking account. It would have been nice to be notified

We tried the pollo tacos, the salmon tacos and the asada beef tacos, along with a delicious and zesty salsa to accompany the spicy chips. We ordered the frijoles to try those with the tangy chips and hit a home run! They were delicious together and the family was fighting over the remaining chips because the beans were so good to eat. We also tried the coconut rum and pineapple juice, along with the signature margarita. Both were made to order and ready within minutes. Delicious! We highly recommend this restaurant and know that whether you have family/friends who are looking for barbecue, tacos or other Mexican dishes (like empanadas or quesadillas), this place is definitely worth checking out. Your taste buds will thank you!

I was promptly greeted and seated even though it seemed quite busy. My server arrived quickly and took my drink order, and brought chips and salsa. The chips were hot and well salted and the salsa was good. I opted for the Birria Tacos listed as one of their premium tacos. The food came out quickly given how busy the place was. I think they were slightly overcooked. The tortillas seemed freshly made, and the au jus was delicious. The beef itself was okay, and there was less cheese than I expected. It was still a good dinner. As far as the restaurant itself, I was seated in the bar area, and overhead were old dished light/fan fixtures that looked pretty dirty. They might was to remove those as they just collect dust which eventually falls/drifts down. The air vents weren't looking very good either. These really kind of affect his the place could be perceived. I'll still leave 4 stars although I almost dropped to 3. There aren't half stars to give. A little attention to the facility might leave a better impression.

Operating out of a building that has served as Ocean City's oldest continually operating sub shop location since circa 1950, it officially opened as Belly Busters Seafood and Deli in 1985 under owner Scott and his family.

The Food & Standout Dishes Steamed Crabs: True to its coastal roots, Belly Busters sources heavy, fat blue crabs from Maryland waters when in season (and top regional bayous off-season). Steamed to order with heavy Old Bay seasoning, they're available for dine-in or via their popular local crab delivery service. Blackened Mahi & Fish Tacos: Among their most famous specialties, the fish tacos feature blackened or fried fish piled high with house-made pico de gallo, fresh cabbage, New York spicy cheddar, and a signature cream sauce.

Their ribeye cheesesteaks, house-cooked meats, and fresh seafood salads--like the lump crab cake and jumbo shrimp salad subs--are packed generously on toasted rolls.

We went on a Tuesday and were seated outside (while making your booking, you can choose where you want to be seated: inside or outside). The hosts were very nice. The place is clean and smells good. Our waiter was welcoming and polite. We ordered the Mexican street corn, the warm chips with the kitchen sink, their best-seller chicken wings, and 2 burgers. I must say, EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. This restaurant is so good that our last dinner was here. That night we ordered the Bonzai chicken wings (DELICIOUS), and chicken and steak tacos. We recommend this restaurant to the fullest.
