Good stuff

Really nice bloke serving, and tasty food. I had the chilli bowl which was wholesome and reasonably priced. Also ordered the vegan nachos but was full from the chilli so the guys were kind enough to package them up for takeaway.

Pros: Reasonably priced , Wide menu , Nice people

Cons: The toilet wasn’t great!?

Cute Comfort Food

Had the Garlic & Rosemary Tots which were pretty good with the spicy Catsup. I also got the Thai burrito which featured the Curry Tots - Very good flavor pairing. Guava juice was cold and fresh.

Pros: Great comfort food!, Seasoned well., Friendly staff.

Cons: Not many vegan options.

Tasty „fast food“

Definitely a go to place for vegans on Puerto Escondido with fair a few vegan options (burrito, salads, burger, …). I had the burrito vegan and it was delicious.

Didn't have the vegan options

Bit gutted they didn't have the samosas or the vegan nachos so just had the papas and a salad which were good but was hoping for more. Might be a better experience for others when they have the stock in.

Pros: Vegan options, Easy to find

Cons: Didn't have the vegan stock in sadly

Good but could be better

The burritos were good although it lacked some flavor in my opinion. We were not given salsas or hot sauces to go with them. Same with the nachos. Good but could be better.

Pros: All vegetarian that can easily be made vegan, Cheap, Knowledgeable staff

Cons: Lacked in taste, Service A little slow

Good food, too large drinks

We went there 2 times, both were good. The self-made drinks were too large for people like us.

Pros: Many vegan options, Good fresh food, Decent price

Cons: Too large drinks

Wonderful!!!

After the first bite you instantly want a LOT.
It is soooo good. Tasty, not flaming hot
Feel like you'll spoil it everywhere but the consistency is great so eat it without getting to look like a 2y/o

Pros: Great food, Friendly people

Amazing vegan cheese

We got the tots and the nachos. Both were very good (and filling). The vegan cheese on the nachos was amazing!

Awesome chili!

Definitely order the chili here. For 45 pesos, the bowl size is a really solid portion and it’s super, super tasty. Maybe order it with the vegan nachos and pour some over the nachos while you’re at it!

The actual tots I was less thrilled with, but I guess that’s my fault for getting the plain ones. I think they need a bit more salt and some pepper mixed in them, as even for plain, they’re a bit *too* plain. It’s also worth noting that they’re small, maybe four or five cm in diameter? So just be prepared for that.

Probably gonna head back here and try a different flavor of tots and inevitably get the chili again too despite telling myself I’m gonna try something different.

Super tasty!

Super tasty potato balls, we had the garlic & rosemary inside the vegan burrito and could still taste them very well next to all the extra’s.
Friendly waitresses and fruity ‘agua fresca’.

Updated from previous review on 2022-05-06

Pros: Super tasty, Lots of affordable options, Friendly

Cons: Not fully vegan, In the center, away from ‘the strip’

Delicious

Plenty of vegan options and all delicious. Especially loved the Indian style burrito. They even have a vegan ice cream sandwich (but they didn’t have it when i was there). Menu is in English & Spanish. Super cheap, $70 for a good sized burrito. Food isn’t super healthy but it’s really yum. Food can take a while to come so don’t go if you’re in a rush.

Pros: Great vegan options , Good prices

So many options

Spoilt for choice. I had the Thai potato balls burrito, jalapeño bites and chocolate chimichanga. Jalapeño bites could’ve had more cheese but overall very tasty😋 and well priced

Was delicious but had better burritos

We both had the vegan burritos with garlic and rosemary papa tots. The vegan cheese inside is almost not recognizable. The papa tots are a bit big and fill most of the burrito. It was delicious and especially a big one for 70 pesos affordable. Seems like a good price and was very filling.

Pros: Very good fresh made lemonade

Filling and cheap

Great little restaurant. Like the name suggests, PapaTots serves fried potatoes in various forms. It’s not health food, but it’s filling, cheap and tasty. About $35MXN for four big potato balls. The potato balls can be worked into a salad, burrito, etc.

Papatots Rocks!

On their website they talk about the trial and error they did to get the perfect tots, and they’ve done exactly that! The tots are crispy and crunchy on the outside yet soft and moist on the inside. We got an order of the rosemary and garlic tots with marinara, a large vegan burrito and a small indu burrito. Everything was amazing! Can’t wait to go back and try something else.

Pros: Great service , Tasty tots

Tasty !

I’ve been there two times and it can be healthy if you take a salad, both vegan salads are really good and fresh.
I always take a burrito for the next day, it’s delicious and can’t get enough !
I recommend the tots alone with any sauce, it’s really tasty.
Also it’s pretty cheap !
Thank you, I’m really satisfied
