Deserves 5 stars! - Edit
Separate extensive vegan menu (as well as a gluten-free menu). Live music, fun atmosphere, and delicious food! A must visit when you're in OC!

For Tourists and Locals Alike - Edit
We were worried that Papi's was just a tourist spot on our first visit this summer, but we pleasantly surprsised to see several groups of locals picking up on their lunch break. We loved having the separate vegan menu.
Read moreI had the vegan menu gringo style and it was fresh and tasty. I didn't get anything from the bar but it looks like they had a good drink menu as well. They also have an impressive array of house salsas.
I definitely look forward to coming back and trying more menu items the next time I am in the area.
Pros: Friendly staff, Separate Vegan Menu

Good vegan options - Edit
Read moreThe vegan food at Papi's Taco Joint is pretty good. I had the vegan quesadilla and the vegan Mission-style burrito. The salsa and guacamole could use improvement, but overall, it's a nice spot on the beach.

Would give 5 stars if I could! - Edit
Full separate menu for vegans and opposite side was a full GF menu. Thrilled with the options and so grateful for the ways they have figured out how to make so many delicious dishes vegan! I got the veggie street tacos with the ropa salsa and on my goodness was it delicious. 2 tacos was more than enough for me since we had chips and fries to start. My husband got the veggie burrito and it was so good, and really big portion. Brought half of it home. Honestly, to top it off, we had a great server who made us laugh and kept our waters full and was happy to help us navigate the menu and make suggestions when we weren’t sure what to choose. Will definitely be coming back!

Maybe I came on a bad day... - Edit
I ordered the vegan gringo tacos with black beans and avocado. It was supposed to be topped with lettuce, pico and vegan mozzarella. Everything was on there, but there was also a white creamy topping that looked like sour cream. I checked the entire vegan menu and did not see anything that contained vegan sour cream, so I ended up not eating the tacos since I wasn't sure if it was dairy sour cream.
Read moreMy husband ordered the vegan nachos with beyond meat and they were terribly dry. I spent about 54 bucks for food that was pretty bad tbh.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Not sure if they used real sour cream, Expensive

Printed vegan menu, always appreciated! - Edit
Better than average Mexican restaurant (authentic-ish street tacos, house-made chips and salsa, homey decor) with a separate vegan menu! Usually with Mexican, you're just taking things off and hoping for beans without pork but they had yummy elote (street corn), a range of vegan salsas including mole poblano, and build your own tacos with a choice of 3 vegan fillings, as well as quite a few other small and large plates. Vegan mozzarella they used was better than most. Friendly service.
Read morePros: Elote, Chips & salsa, Open out of season
Cons: None really!

Delicious - Edit
We got the vegetarian, smashed black bean and beyond meat tacos, all “vegan style” and they were all delicious. Will definitely make this a regular place to eat when in town. We came right at the start of the off season and it was ready for pick up in 10 minutes.

Fantastic - Edit
This restaurant has a whole vegan menu, and the food is delicious. I got the burrito, which I ate half of at the restaurant and saved the other half for later because the meal (including the chips and salsa) was so filling. The only downside is that there are no vegan desserts.

Vegan Tacos need I say more! - Edit
There aren’t a ton of vegan options in Ocean City, but Papi’s Tacos has a full vegan menu and offers vegan meat substitutes on their regular menu. Portions were large, and the food was delicious! Definitely worth it!

Went with the wimpy option… still delicious!! - Edit
I was so impressed with my tacos! Delicious beyond meat crumbles on warm flour tortillas, with veggies and cheese too. I had the vegan gringo street tacos and I would have them again and again.
Read morePros: Entirely vegan menu available!, Also have a gluten free menu, Lots of options (not just substitutes)
Cons: Can only order street tacos in 2’s

Had a permanent separate VEGAN MENU! - Edit
I was so excited to try out Papi's. When we arrived I told the waitress that I was vegan and my husband vegetarian. She said she would be happy to retrieve the vegan menu for me. Both my husband and I had the vegan burrito with Beyond meat and vegan cheese. It was fantastic! Unlike many vegan cheeses the cheese they use did not stick to my teeth. It was flavorful and hearty. I had mine with the mole sauce and my husband had it with the salsa verde.
Read moreWent back the next day to order more and forgot to order our burrito with beyond meat and it was filled with extra veggies ( like green beans). I wasn't as keen on this but was still excited.
Pros: full vegan menu available upon request, clean and healthy looking ( not dripping in oil), delicious
Cons: forgetting to order our 2nd order with beyond meat, takeout counter automatically takes tip w/o inform

Full Vegan Menu! GF as well - Edit
They have a menu just for vegans and the food was amazing. I did the vegan tostada and nachos from the "little cravings" and the vegan platano's for dessert. The platano is not listed as dessert, it's on the little cravings menu but it was sweet and seriously delicious! I'm vegan and GF, had no trouble with the menu! The whole experience was just wonderful!
Read morePros: Whole page of vegan options!, Vegan dessert: platano drizzled with Agave , Excellent food, service and price

Nice surprise at Ocean City - Edit
It’s great they have a full vegan menu!
Read moreWe were pleased with the selection, staff, service and food.
Obviously, it’s not “real” Mexican food, but it was pretty good.
We sat on the screened in porch, but the restaurant itself is massive with all types of booths and tables and outdoor seating
Pros: Service , Food, Price
Cons: Cheese could have been melted more.

Great vegan nachos - Edit
Loved the vegan nachos with extra veggies from this location was super satisfying and hearty! The guac & salsa chips were also wonderful. Was glad to find a decent vegan option in OC while there is plenty of non-veg options for others in your party. The street tacos were also a pleasant surprise as well as the rice although, I must say the beans were lacking in texture and flavor. The vegan elote was certainly lacking though as I saw what the elote looked like from the regular menu. The vegan elote did not have a vegan sub for the traditional creamy sauce on the cob instead it was simply unmelted vegan shredded cheese on top with virtually no seasoning. While I was grateful to have the pleasure of eating here do not expect too much authentic cuisine especially for the vegan options. Overall it was a good choice.
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu is convenient , Vegan nachos and apps were great
