Amazing takeaway spot! The service was superb and started us off on a wonderful note, then the massive burritos, delicious rice and beans, unique hot sauces and perfect chips left us very happy. We grabbed the food and took it down for a beautiful “picnic” meal at thousand steps – the food stayed plenty warm on our trek down and was well worth the wait. If you do like us, make sure to keep an eye on the seagulls who seemed eager, and please get your trash in one of the trash cans at the beach entrance! Highly recommend Papa’s Tacos for any quick stop on the PCH.

First time here on a Wednesday. It says it’s open daily 11 am to I think 7? Google had the hours wrong when I looked. I think we spoke to the owner and he was so nice. I think he’s proud of his place, as he should be. We just carnitas and carne asada tacos. The cilantro and onion tasted soooo fresh. And both tacos were great but carnitas are my favorite. Also got the green sauce which is mild but so delicious. Definitely coming back

Papa taco was a great find with decently priced menu for the area. Great service with a smile and very helpful. The house sauces is a great addition to any dish.

Excellent food. Not as fancy as the place across the street. Mahi mahi burrito was fresh and tasty. Grab beers from liquor store next door 🙂

Me and my husband love too go to Papa Tacos for lunch. The food is delicious. The service is great and they make you feel so welcome. They know us because we’ve been coming for years. It was so nice the owner gave my husband a hat.
