We were here about 14:30 so had the pick of the tables as the kitchen wasnโt open. Which actually was the plan for us as we were there for a refreshing Papiโs Tacos Frozen Margarita or THREE.ย
As we waited I popped in to get some snaps and smelt the food being prepped for service at 15:00. OK, I made the decision to hang around for a snack or two. Read on for that food experience readers.

This is what I could not get last time we dined here. Papiโs Tacos 5-hour slow-cook brisket. Today I am camping outside and not moving until I get this.ย

Papi's Tacos Review - Seah Street
I love surprises, especially when it comes to food. This is one such wonderful example.
My Wifey and I were onย staycationย for our anniversary & my birthday. I chose a wonderful boutique hotel in Seah Street right next toย Raffles Hotelย โ sort of in the city, but not in the city. Chosen for the boutique chic and also theย rooftopย bar overlooking our beautiful little city. Naumi Hotel. We had lunch planned & booked the next day โ but notย dinner on Sunday. Where to go?
We did a loop walk of a few blocks, including Liang Seah Street which is now almost 100%ย hotpotย restaurants as far as the eye can see. How that place has changed since I worked close by and it used to be a drinking hole for us at Caesarโs & Beaversโฆ The good old days.
Papi's Tacos - Tacos & Margaritas
So we completed a loop and ended up back at the hotel and walked into next door. Literally next door and Papiโs Tacos. Iโll say it again โ this is TINY in stature but boy do they make up for that with its coolness, staff, flavours and textures, awesome margaritas and just a wonderful ambience even with only 2 people seating. It is just BRILLIANT.
If you want superb Mexican food from a โrealโ Mexican? Papiโs Tacos are it!
If you want reasonably pricedย food and drinks in the city (next to Raffles Hotel just out of interest)?
If you want to have fun whilst you eat?
In fact, do you want some of the best tacos &ย Mexicanย food accompanied by the very best frozen Margaritas you will ever have likely in Singapore?
Even the team at the Mexican Embassy speak highly of this place, so they canโt be wrong!
Look no further. Get yourself to Seah Street and see the crew from Papiโs Tacos. You will NOT be disappointed. Well, you will be if you canโt get a table!!!
