The vibe
You’ll find the refreshed space offers a different vibe from the Papi’s Tacos on Augusta that opened 2.5 years ago. Don’t worry — you can still experience the original Papi’s Tacos at the Riverplace location.
In addition to fresh paint and decor inside, expanded outdoor seating with string lights offers a new spot to dine al fresco (just in time for patio season).
Some of these bites were inspired by chef collaborations Papi’s has participated in over the years. | Photos by GVLtoday
The menu
I tasted most of the menu, and it’s really hard to pick a favorite. I don’t say this lightly, but every single dish was spectacular. If I had to pick just one, I don’t know that I could visit without ordering the corn ribs with house-made crema. Bonus: They’ll also be serving weekend brunch.
