Papi’s Tacos
Grilled fish tacos
Verdict: Walk
Incredible tacos can be found in Singapore. Mauricio, the owner, puts lots of care into his craft. We love this place and will be back when we revisit Joo Chiat area.

Comments:
The bomb.
Thanks to friends of ours, @meyerbelles & @the.smiling.afro, we got to experience Papi’s Tacos - made by Papi himself - and what a treat this was.
Papi’s mission is to bring authentic Mexican food to Singapore, having come with only $50 in his pocket when he arrived. You need to eat here if you have a craving for Mexican food - or any of his other 3 locations.
Tacos stuffed to the brim that are bursting with fresh flavours and drinks refreshing enough to quench the thirst from Singapore’s signature heat.
Grilled shrimp came highly recommended by the Afro & it did not disappoint - meaty and fresh.
Grilled fish was the surprise of the night - juicy and the combination with the slaw was a perfect bite.
Jeremy loves his Mezcal, so you can imagine how excited he was to choose from Papi’s catered list.
Fantastic vibe in one of the coolest parts of town, a must-visit!
