The service was incredible. Waiter gave great recommendations. A Passionate family run business. The ambiance was so elevated and special. And the food- wow! Family recipes were incredible. The food came fast. You have to try the coconut ice cream. And the bartender is a genius. Fantastico read more

Great tacos. Didn't try the papas but the tacos were awesome. Great service. Both my boys ordered more after the first order came.

Amazing food, outstanding service, and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. You can really feel the love and pride of this family-owned business in every detail. Highly recommend the asada tacos. read more

We loved Tacos & Papas!!! Everything on the menu was delicious. We went there 3 out of the 5 nights we were in Punta Mita. Fernando and his sweet family took great care of us. Don't forget to order the churros. OMG!!!! Best churros that I have ever had in my life. Don't miss this gem in Punta Mita! read more

Tacos y Papas has had Punta Mita on its BACK for the last 15 years, BELI DAT! It's the most authentic meal you are going to get in the area unless you are willing to eat street food, but personally I've had a few too many bouts with Montezuma to take that risk anymore. Coming off the Punta Mita compound in the golf cart, go around the roundabout and hang the first available right, go all the way down the unkept road littered with potholes and just when you think "I must have went the wrong way," Tacos y Papas will appear like an Ark in the Flood. Being in here on the first night of a Mexico trip with only 3 buttons of a linen shirt buttoned and 5" short shorts on while awaiting your marg to hit the table is a spiritual state. Can't recommend enough. The tacos and tostadas are $3 a piece, with a cute little quesadilla being $3.70. To me, this is about as steep as taco pricing should ever get. I am sick and tired, EXHAUSTED really, of Tacos in LA or NYC being $5-6 dollars a pop. It goes against the entire ethos of a taco in my humble opinion. But the quality in here... oh my goodness. Some free game for y'all, you can ALWAYS tell the quality of a Mexican place by the quality of the corn tortillas. Flour tortillas you can fake, there's no hiding a subpar corn tortilla, Yo te prometo. And if you've never had a real corn tortilla, if you've only had those trash store bought mass produced corn tortillas, my heart truly aches for you. Mi cooraazzzóóóóón.... All this to say that THESE CORN TORTILLAS ARE ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR. UNDEFEATED! NEVA LOSS! Everyone obsesses over the stuffed potatoes they serve, but I am more of a purist. I got 1 beef taco, 1 beef tostada, 2 chicken tacos, 1 cochinita taco, and 1 beef quesadilla because I'm a BEAST! Just look at the attached picture of my plate, I don't think I need to say anything else. It was phenomenal, sensational. Still thinking about it tbh. After dinner, we got a scoop of orange, mango, and coconut ice cream, and they came in their respective namesakes which is CRAZY. The orange ice cream literally came in an orange. You can't help but respect this level of creativity. I LOVE YOU TACOS Y PAPAS AND I THINK ABOUT YOU A LOT! NEVER SWITCH UP! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

death row meal! Great menu and fantastic ambiance! The food was authentic and inventive - providing a new take on classic Mexican cusine. The freshly made churro for dessert was truly the icing on the cake. read more

Alright let's start with the service if we want to call it that. There's like one dude walking around serving people one thing at a time. I asked for a Vodka OJ and he said "I can make that for you if you tell me what's in it" I say 1. OJ 2. Vodka; guy comes back with pineapple juice no alcohol but somehow my 14 year old cousin got a margarita. We ordered drinks and it took roughly 45 minutes for everyone to get theirs. They served my 14 year old cousin a margarita so take that in whatever direction you want. The food was terrible. I don't think there was a smidge of seasoning or even salt on my steak tacos. Completely bland and overpriced. ALSO ALL THE FOOD WAS COLD BY THE TIME IT GOT TO US. One person would get their cold food then 10-15 min later someone else at the table would get their cold food. I mean this place is just awful. As for the ambiance; to get the restaurant if we are even calling it that you get to walk through a smelly dark alley to a tiny shack with terrible food. The only two places worth eating at are the smash burger restaurant and Mita. Everything else you may as well just go to taco bell. It's all Americanized Mexican food that is just terrible. It is clear that the people running these restaurants realize that us gringos have no other place to go so they may as well price gouge and run the place as cheaply as possible with no feasible repercussions. It was almost worse than lobster paradise. Just shut the place down and try again but put a little effort in it. We come to Mexico to get American-Mexican food? Like come on. DO BETTER!!! read more

Fernando was a fantastic server and the tacos were very tasty. Would recommend going here! We enjoyed the Al pastor.

Amazing food and drinks. Has a variety of options for all ages and has excellent service. read more

I love this place. When I'm in Punta De Mita I go at least twice. It's simple tacos and they are so flavorful. It's a family owned restaurant and you can tell they love what they do. My favorite is the chicken tacos and a fresh marg. So good! And so cute too! You will not be disappointed! read more

Food. Service. Ambiance. All 5 stars. Can't wait to eat here again. Staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable about their menu.

We dined here three times in January 2025. The first time we ate here, our server asked us to leave a yelp review so I am leaving one about my experiences. The first time we had dinner, I ate a variety of things--the bill came out much higher than expected (but not an exorbitantly expensive dinner), so I chalked it up to losing track of what we ate. (Bills are handwritten and look like hieroglyphics, so they are indecipherable.) The second time, I ordered more intentionally (only asada quesadillas and margaritas) and the bill still came out to more than it should have. When I asked the server, he immediately changed the total. The last time I only had a snack--a single quesadilla and lemonade--and there were 10 pesos tacked on. This time I showed the server (I think the owner this time--it was a different server than our previous visits) the prices on the menu--he adjusted the bill, but then immediately said there would be a commission to pay by credit card, which had never been the case before. This restaurant is right outside the gates and very popular with people from the resorts--I guess they think people who stay at the Four Seasons don't pay attention to their restaurant charges. And as with my first experience, it is easy to lose track of what you order. After dinner tonight we went to a friend's for dessert and I mentioned the experience--she said she has heard the same from other people who ate there. The asada quesadillas here are very good and not expensive. But the owners of this restaurant should charge what they feel the food is worth--not mark up people's bills dishonestly. While we really enjoyed our food, I will not come back on future trips. There is no excuse for cheating people. Consider yourself warned. read more

Walked in here around 8:30PM. It was busy and small staffed but it was worth it! Great prices, and even better food!! The cochinita pibil was amazing. And their passion fruit margarita might be my favorite drink in Punta Mita. GREAT PLACE read more

A hidden gem quietly tucked away at the end of the street. You are warmly greeted by a family member and shown to your table whereupon you begin a wonderful casual dining experience punctuated by delicious food, friendly and great service, and wonderful outdoor ambience enhanced by a fun 70's - 90's musical playlist... plus more current selections. Tacos and papas (stuffed potatoes) are naturally their specialties; however, their other menu items are also very tasty. Portions are generous. There is a variety of adult and children friendly beverages to choose from. Their classic margarita is excellent. This is the first restaurant I go to when I arrive in Punta de Mita and I continue to visit it once a week while here, and it will be the restaurant I go to the night before I return home. Treat yourself, family and friends and visit it today. (Closed Mondays) read more

The ambience was very unique and comfortable. Service was excellent. The proprietor was quite friendly and willing to help. Everyone spoke English. The food was just delicious especially Asada tacos. At the end of the meal, we thoroughly enjoyed the selections of ice cream. read more

Fantastic meal! Very cute, family-owned place with traditional mexican food. Casual attire--it is outside. I would recommend making a reservation but we walked in and waited around 10-15 minutes for a table. They definitely got busy but the food was fantastic. You can choose between five protein options and get tacos three ways or loaded potatoes. My family tried the carne asada, al pastor and pebil, all of which we really enjoyed. Favorites were al pastor quesadilla and pebil tostadita with cheese. Margaritas were also really good, they use their own sweetener blend that is delicious. Service was also fantastic. We had Fernando, the grandchild of the owners, who was wonderful to us and helped us out with everything. The kitchen did reach a snag with our order but they were really kind about it and got our new order to us very quickly. All around fantastic meal and would highly recommend to anyone for a quick (ish) dinner! read more

Tacos & Papas - Outside when you walk inside - Signature Cuisine Near Me - Punta de Mita, NAY

Oh man I don't know why I waited to long to leave the resort and try some of the food options in downtown Punta Mita! The tacos at Tacos & Papas are way better than anything that you would get at a restaurant on the resort. We came here for dinner around 7p and by 8p all the tables at the restaurant were filled! Street parking is available for those driving in. Ironically we came here after reading a "eat like a local" article in forbes magazine, there were pretty much 0 locals here, it appeared to be all tourists but the food was cheap and savory, would definitely come again! We tried one of everything from each section of the menu which meant tacos, quesadillas, the papas, and the flan. You should absolutely get the flan it was the most tasty thing on the menu! The hot sauce they give you on the side is extra hot so try some before your douse your tacos with it. We had the pleasure of watching a few couples not try the hot sauce before eating it and they were left in pain for a good 10-15 minutes after. read more

Such a cute little restaurant! (The owner here also owns pan y leche cafe a couple blocks away)... We had the chicken and beef tacos, chicken and vegetable tostadas and the potato stuffed with vegetables and chorizo. Everything is made fresh to order and is delicious. They also had a well stalked bar which was great. The servers are so sweet and attentive too! Try this restaurant, support the local businesses; you won't be disappointed! read more

After 3 weeks in Punta de Mita, we were amazed with the cuisine at many of the better restaurants. Then we gave a nice couple a ride home and they raved about this fantastic small taqueria right in the heart of downtown-- but off the beaten tourist trail. With reservations still pending at the "finest" dinner venues, we nevertheless went back three nights in a row for the best tacos imaginable and the best service and simple familia- style location In PdM. The Owners and their "team" took us to another, and very local level. Highly recommended Is an understatement. Real, simple and delicious. Fortaleza reposado/ mango margaritas too. Fantastico! read more

Tacos & Papas - The great Chefs of Tacos Y Papas - Signature Cuisine Near Me - Punta de Mita, NAY

With respectable tacos, cold beer, a starter plate filled with sliced cucumber, sliced radish, charred peppers and really spice hot sauce you'd think Tacos & Papas has it all going on. Truth is most everyone here makes decent tacos and serves them with cold beer. If you're going to charge double, then your food should stand out and it really didn't. Add an overpriced tequila shot and dodgy math to the bill and it made for an underwhelming experience. I won't be back... read more

Great tacos en Punta Mita. They closed their old location and opened a new location in the alley across from the Ollin store. Great food, beers, and drinks. We are very glad they reopened... read more

This is yet another rave review. The reason this place gets great reviews is that it does tacos really, really well. Straightforward delicious and amazingly fast. The waitstaff is charming, the cerveza and margaritas are cold . If you're looking for fancy eats, head down the hill. But if it's delicious tacos you crave (and oh my goodness you should) head directly to this place. read more

We had a great meal at Tacos & Papas. They were very accommodating of my need for gluten free and preference for vegan foods. The food was simple and really good.

This place is amazing!!!!! We came three times on our Punta Mita trip. The food is incredibly FRESH. The tacos are so fresh and yummy - especially the rib eye tacos. The papas (baked potatoes) blew my mind. They have a ton of veggies and are a nice break from the standard Mexican food you'll enjoy on your trip. Very fresh and innovative. Cooked perfectly. We absolutely love this small unassuming spot and will be back for many years. It's also incredibly easy on the budget which is just a bonus :) TRY IT. You will not be disappointed. read more

We love tacos and Papas and Punta Mita. The potato with vegetables cheese sour cream butter and ribeye is awesome. The pork Pebble and ribeye tacos are delicious.
