Helmed by Papalotia native Chef Jose Mauricio Espinoza Lara aka Chef Papi, the colouful taqueria – the growing chain’s fourth – dishes up hearty Mexican fare and playful thirst-quenchers. Not surprisingly, there are more tacos than you can shake your maracas at, including the Jalan Besar-exclusive Braised Beef Tongue Tacos. Fork-tender and flavoursome, the tacos de lengua, despite being a staple in traditional Mexican cuisine, are not easy to find in Singapore. The Tacos De Camaron, with grilled prawns and mango salsa, are a crowd-pleaser, but you shouldn’t miss the pan-fried Quesabirria Tacos, packed with smoked beef brisket. There’s also an extensive drinks list, from frozen margaritas to the fruit-flavoured Mexican soft drinks Jarritos to mezcals and tequilas, so you’ll never go thirsty.
