This is our first time at the shop. We had the fish taco, quesa-birria taco, potato Taco, and El pastor. All were great! The pineapple was fresh on the El pastor. The street corn was also very good.

The owner is very friendly and helpful in helping us to select what to try.

This is now our favorite taco shop in this area on the 210.

I just had lunch at Tacos y Papas and ordered their lunch plate. The shrimp tacos were absolutely divine — perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection — and the carne asada was flavorful, tender, and not fatty at all. The aguas frescas were such a delight, especially the horchata, which was creamy and not overly sweet. I think I’ve officially found my new favorite taco spot!

I've started coming here for taco Tuesday and they're now my favorite taco Tuesday on Myrtle! The agua frescas are made fresh daily and different flavors every time, but all of them are amazing! The tacos are great quality and value. The man at the register (possibly the owner?) is super friendly and gives samples of the agua frescas.
Highly recommend!
