    Steak and Al Pastor Street Tacos
    Pookie A.

    A true authentic taste of Mexico while also feeling like apart of the family. This family run local spot also features an epic Strawberry Lemonade bucket cup, Mexican Coke, and dine in table's. Good luck not falling in love with the owner's and hoping they adopt you into their family. Enjoy!

    Awesome!

    We came here all the way from Birmingham, AL and had the BEST smash burgers and horchata in our lives! We wish we had this place in Birmingham. The staff was super friendly!

    Too good to stop to take photos!

    Amazing food. We tried this place for dinner and liked it so much that went back the following morning for breakfast! Dinner: Had the beef street tacos and the chicken enchiladas with the salsa verde and both tasted great. The salsa verde was delicious and had some spice but didn't kill you. Breakfast: we tried the Huevos Rancheros and the Chilaquiles. Both spectacular!! This is a family owned restaurant and everything is made fresh. Owners are very friendly. I highly recommend. We ate everything so fast that didn't think about taking pictures until we had already finished!

    Excellent Mexican food operated by a sweet family from Austin, TX. I ordered the carne guisada. It was delicious as was the beans and rice. My husband ordered the street tacos. They were perfectly seasoned and I ate one and enjoyed the fresh cilantro and onions. My husband also ordered a horchata. I took a sip and it was heavenly. The sweet lady who took our order was friendly and helpful. I love how she even had her children helping. Forget the chain restaurants and give Papi's a try!

    Horchata was legit The crispy tacos and chicken burrito were delicious! The venue is small yet all the tables full.

    Crispy taco, Papi's Burrito, Green and red salsa and fresh made tortilla chips!

    Boy, I tell you what, it is great to have a family run Tex-Mex place here in Destin! The food has fabulous flavors, especially the green and red salsa and the tacos and burritos were amazingly fresh and zesty Susan was absolutely terrific and the entire staff there gives you a neighborhood "Cheers" atmosphere. Every day they have a different special and Fridays it is smash burgers I went with the Papi's burrito and crispy taco... Excellent! Furthermore, they don't waste time on delivering your food!

    4 street taco special (with pork and all offered toppings)

    When i entered this restaurant i was immediately greeted and given a menu! They have a classic mexican style menu that has a good handful of tasty options. They gave me this super good green salsa that was to die for. i ordered the 4 street taco entree and they did not disappoint! The restaurant was very clean and put together, you can tell that it is new but i definitely wouldn't consider that a bad thing! The staff were wonderful, my waiter was excellent and very personable. i did see that they offer "fiesta meals" which i see as a catering option so i will definitely be coming back and ordering for any big events!

    Cheese enchilada and taco dinner.

    Finally, good Tex Mex in Destin, Florida! We came to Papi's Tacos based on the reviews and word of mouth from other locals. We have unable to find decent enchiladas in this town after living here for 6 years, until today. They have a limited menu, but everything we had was excellent. Cheese enchiladas were made with a chili con carne sauce which is Tex Mex. No red or green enchiladas! owners are from Austin and know their Tex Mex. It's our new favorite for Mexican in Destin.

We chose to sit outside, and while the service was great, the food was even better. For starters, I had the orange margarita (recommended by our waiter), and wow, it was delicious. I've never had one quite like it. For my entrée, I ordered a mix of three tacos, and each one was packed with flavor. The only downside was the number of tiny flies outside, they kept finding their way into my drink. Not sure if that's typical, but I'd probably opt to sit inside next time because of it. That said, the food and overall experience were really great, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out!

We stood there for a while trying to figure out if we needed to seat ourselves or if we should wait on somebody. We were finally noticed and directed to a table. After being seated they brought us chips and salsa. For the most part, I love chips at a Mexican restaurant! They're always so thin and crispy and taste fresh. I guess you can go wrong in some instances, but these were PERFECT! Thin, crisp, and salted. And the salsa was just right. It wasn't too spicy. I ended up ordering the quesadilla and my partner ordered a combination plate. Her combination plate had a tamale that she didn't want so I took it. I can say that the tamale tasted like it came out of a can. It was not authentic at all. I can't go wrong with the quesadilla that's pretty much my go-to. She really enjoys her tacos and she said they were pretty good. Overall the food was okay.

Dat Burrito had good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a busy shopping center in the heart of Destin. It is just north of 98 and west of the 293 bringing you over the bridge. You are going to be near this location at some point in your vacation so keep it on your radar. You do have to be actively looking for it as it is a pretty unassuming building. The food is a mixture of standard Mexican fare (e.g. tacos, burritos etc.). You can eat in store, or get it to take away. There isn't much ambiance, so this is definitely more of a "to go" type place. I would note there is a great toppings bar in the store that you should take advantage of even if you are getting a to go order. We have loved everything we have ordered, so there isn't any way you can go wrong. The prices are very good for the portion size as well.

Although it wasn't the same as being served on a sizzling plate, it was still very good but better in person! I loved the carne asada dish, the beef was cooked perfectly and so tender. Included in our order was a container of salsa and a bag of perfectly crisped tortilla chips. We loved this addition and surprise! The area of this restaurant was super festive with all the Christmas lights and decor. There is a center with a tree, and we will return to explore it as well as a full dining experience.
