I went today for the first time. Just happened to be in the same plaza and was hungry. The food was absolutely delicious. I loved the flavors of everything and especially love a sauce bar with pickles veg to help yourself to. I got the spicy shrimp special taco and the al pastor . Seriously 10/10. Food also came out super fast

Found this spot while driving on the highway and looking up “Mexican food” and “tacos”. Made my way here and ordered Birria Tacos, Street Tacos and Nachos. Small take out spot with limited indoor seating. We ate inside. Food was good but not great. Tacos and Nachos were average. Birria tacos were okay, the sauce was lacking in flavor. I’m guessing due to the location the toned down the flavor and spice which is understandable just not what I exspected. I definitely recommend you try them for yourself though.

One of our family favorites for reliable take out. Consistently awesome. Good portions and fresh ingredients. Not much seating so plan on take out. One of the best burritos and quesadillas in the area!

Papis Taqueria is a total gem in Old Lyme — small in size, but big on flavor and good vibes.
This spot is definitely worth the detour. I had the Buffalo Cauliflower and Mahi Mahi tacos — both were legit, but the Mahi stole the show with its bright, fresh flavor that just hit in a beach-town kind of way.
We also shared the meatless sopes, which were super generous and totally satisfying. A little messy (in the best way), and I gave them a flavor boost with some of the house salsas — which, by the way, are on point. I’d love to see a pescatarian version added — they already carry Mahi, so tossing that on a sope feels like an easy win. Shrimp would be another great coastal fit, and a hearty mushroom option could also round things out for plant-based folks (even if it doesn’t match the seaside vibe as much).
My friend did a trio of tacos (Carnitas, Chorizo, and Al Pastor) and gave them an enthusiastic thumbs-up. No notes. Just solid, delicious tacos across the board.
The staff were awesome — super welcoming and kind. The vibe is relaxed and unfussy, with just a few outdoor seats and a steady stream of locals swinging by for pickup orders. It’s the kind of place you almost don’t want to tell people about because it feels like a secret… but also, more people need to know.
I live in San Diego part time and have eaten my way through the West, Southwest, and Mexico — and I’d still go out of my way for Papis.

These are the best Mexican street tacos around. I tried the steak, chicken, and speciality slow cooked beef tacos and they were so delicious. The rice and beans side is a great portion and tastes so good. The flavor is amazing and so is the service. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Decent food, but don’t order online and pay in the store unless you like getting ripped off. I placed an online order and elected to pay once I got to the restaurant. Received an email with the total amount owed (food, service charge and taxes.) When I picked up my order and paid, they charged me $7 more than the email amount. When I questioned the difference, I was told it was for “taxes”. Dunno how that could be, the taxes were already included in the email receipt. Pretty sure I got ripped off. Food was pretty good though. In the future I’ll just pay online also and not worry about the extra “taxes”

I’ve been chasing the kind of authentic Mexican food I had back in Austin, TX, and no place before, or after has even come close. A coworker told me about this spot, and we decided to stop by. From the moment I walked in, I had a feeling it was going to be something special.
I ordered the special birria tacos and got tres leches and horchata, and wow absolutely incredible. I’m officially in love with this place.
While I was sitting here writing this review, I watched the owner hand an elderly lady her food, then walk around to open the door for her on her way out. That small act of kindness said everything about the heart behind this restaurant.

I had one of their carnitas street tacos and an order of carne asada fries. If you are looking for a tasty, rich in flavor, fresh food, and very well seasoned meat that is also super juicy. Look no further. The meat was super tender and juicy, no hint of being over cooked. The cook/chef knows what they are doing. The guacamole was fresh, the pico de galo was fresh, and the fries were cooked very nicely. The fries having a nice crispiness on the outside and slightly soft on the inside gave them an almost beer battered texture. It was really good. The little salsa cart/table they have gives you some options to spice up your food the way you like it. I also took home some horchata, tres leches cake, and flan. All tasty! The decor is nice, friendly, and has the Mexican vibe I’m used to. I look forward to visiting during dia de los muertos. I grew up in Arizona, and you always knew the mom and pop shops were the best. When the family worked together, the restaurant was always awesome.
The food to money amount is spot on. You get what you pay for and the prices here are great for the quality and quantity of food you get! They do have a small seating area, 2 tables, 3 bar stools, and 2 outside seating.
I would love to see some sort of food challenge or maybe a street taco eating challenge.
This is an establishment I will love to see grow and expand. This is no Taco Bell, Moes, or Chipotle chain. This restaurant cares about their food qualities and I am very willing to drive the 25mins to come visit them whenever I get hungry for good Mexican food

Used the delivery link on the website to have 2 burritos, some chips and guac delivered. Paid over 60$ and waited an hour and 10 minutes until I called to ask where it is. Got a call back after an hour and 30 minutes saying it’s on its way, I asked if it’s been sitting out for over 30 minutes and she confirmed. Who would want to eat that? Threw it out.
