What Makes Papa's Taco Mia To Go! Stand Out
It's a flavor fiesta in this new version of Papa's Taco Mia, with gameplay and controls reimagined for iPhone and iPod Touch!
You'll need to multitask between four areas of the taco shop, with new controls designed to work just right in the palm of your hand. Head to the Order Station to take orders from your zany customers in the lobby. Switch to the Grill Station to cook, flip and cut meats before pouring them into taco shells. Move to the Build Station to add a variety of toppings to your tasty tacos. Jump to the Chip Station to fill a basket with chips, and choose a delicious salsa or dip to complete the meal. Each station is a hands-on experience, where you'll need to drag, swipe, and tap your way through the taco-crafting process.
Keep your customers happy to earn more points and level up. As your level rises, you'll unlock new toppings for the shop, and new customers will start visiting the taqueria! Well-crafted tacos will also earn you tips to spend in the Shop, and Mini-Game Tickets to use in the daily Mini-Game!

Community Insight:
We love the game it is one of our favorite game this year.
This has always been our favorite Papas game. We also like the addition of a chip station.
Our candidate would kick Mexican tacos, small chips and bigger dips.
Game is just as fun as it was when we played it at school, nostalgic and definitely worth playing on our end.
Awesome game, but please fix the quality!! :((.
We absolutely love this game and Im almost an adult already but we cant stop playing it would be so much fun if this was multiplayer playing this with friends online would be an amazing option for this game.
Ive been playing this online since middle school and was so happy when we saw they released an app. Easy to navigate, fun holidays and special recipes, plenty of items to buy and win from the Foodini mini games, and its so addicting (we have played hundreds on hundreds of days and have gold status with all customers). Only complaint is not being able to customize your character but regardless, this is the best Papa Louie game.
We played this game when we were around the 5th grade. As of today that Im writing this review, this has been our childhood game over the years and we were excited to hear that this game came out on mobile a few years ago. Im 16 ( as Im writing this review) and this game is sweet.
Always fun, great to kill time. We need an update on this game though, to give it some more of the new features fliplines other games have, specifically custom workers and a wardrobe to purchase for them.
We have played the Papas games for years on our PC and now on mobile. Theyre great time passers, really fun, and the characters are adorable. But one thing is pretty confusing. We found out that our sister was able to create her own characters in her Taco Mia app on her iPad. So we re-downloaded it on our phone to be able to do the same, only to find that the app doesnt have that feature. Our question is why? Id love to be able to create our own characters in all the Papas apps, regardless of whether or not theyre on phones or iPads.
TacoMia was always one of our favorites. Im so glad its on mobile!! But what Im really waiting for is Sushiria on mobile on mobile or iPad. Its our favorite & we want to be able to play it whenever! Pleaseee.
PLEASE MAKE PAPAS CHEESARIA AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE IN APPSTORE.
This is an amazing game, and it is a great time passer. We definitely recommend this game. There is just one tiny thing. In the help section, it says afer instead of after. Please note that this is on the Chip Station (Part 2) Part of the help section. Even so, this is one of the best To Go! Games that we have ever played.
This game has been our favorite out of all the Papa's games since we've been a kid. Would be really nice to have it updated, other than that we still love it.
We absolutely love this game and have played it since we were a kid and we're sooo happy it's on mobile but we really wish it'd get some sort of update every few years.
We absolutely love the whole line of games. We have bought every single one simply because we were obsessed with playing them when we were younger. Taco Mia is probably our favorite but we wish the quality of the game was a lot better. Its very grainy but other than that, we love it.
This game was our 2nd papas mobile game, and it was very pleasant. The graphics are worse than some other games, which can be a dealbreaker for some people but for us it isnt. Our main thing we dont like is the wall in the lobby because it limits how much furniture you can place. Also if your wondering the games with worse graphics are: Pizzeria, Burgeria, Taco Mia, Freezeria, Hot Doggeria and Cupcakeria.
The animation is actually so lazy but its okay because you can play as mitch.
We love this game actually all papas games in fact Ive been playing them for to be honest Im not sure how long but for as long as we can remember at this point we love this taco one as tacos are one of our favorite foods but its a bit like blurry almost maybe just a quick like screen update its just kind bothering with everything being stuffy the way it is.
This is a really good game, however the quality is cooked. Would def rate 5 stars if the quality was a bit better.
This game has been out for years and they even updated it with the chips station which is great and all but the graphics are very low quality and grainy for a mobile game. It blurs our vision so much these graphics really need an update.
We love all of the papas to go games but this one compared to others is in need of a big update.
This game is pretty good we dont mind the graphics since its one of the oldest game in the series and we love how you add the chip station for the mobile version just to add abit to the game.
We were ADDICTED to tacomia and we played nonstop on both mobile and computer. But right now we can only play on mobile. We had deleted the app a while ago to make data space but when we got it back its quality looked a bit lesser than it looked before. We actually have a few of the other papas games and the quality of them all are far better than this. We dont remember the app quality looking like this but hey, its still fairly good.
We like the game but can you update the graphics please.
We love these games but theres a problem that we have with Tacomia that we dont have with scooperia or pancakeria. We have an iPhone 11 and whenever we try to exit the game it starts a new round because the start button is right where the home slider is. Other than that, this game is really good.
The game is super fun. We love all the upgrades that have been added that the PC game never had, especially the chip station/specials. Our one complaint is that the resolution is kinda blurry and the sound is a little muffled.
Is there something wrong with our phone? The sounds and audio where absolutely horrible. Other than that its pretty fun, we T IO.
Papas taco Mia is a very good game. It is super fun. We would recommend this game. The only thing we dont like is waiting for the food to finish cooking. We know you can get a booster for it but we think it should come with a booster. We like the games that you can play in between rounds with the tickets you have. Overall this is a good fun game.
Pls Change the crafting station like the pc version.
Se ve muy mal, para valer $2 esta horrible en actualizacin por esa parte.
This is the only papas game Ive experienced with low quality graphics. It would be nice if you guys would just update that, we love the game regardless but it would just make it all that much better.
The games graphics are the worst ive seen of the papas games ive played or seen and it clearly hasnt been worked on in a couple years unlike the other games aswell there should really be an improvement honestly disappointing not worth the purchase just get a different papas game and wait for this ones improvements.
We love all the Papas games so much and have almost every single one of them but this one is outdated and glitchy and you cant make your own character you can only choose between the 2 options so we think it would be much better if they updated it to the new versions.
We love this game but its so bad quality, compared to the other mobile papas games its by far the slowest and has the worse graphics.
Can we please get a new update its really old and outdated, we would love to play a newer version to play.
This is the first version we ever played online when it was free.we downloaded the sushi version and Im obsessed. We also downloaded the wings version and Im also obsessed.we were so ready for the nostalgia to hit us and the graphics are just terrible.It looks blurry and fuzzy and not worth the dollar we paid.Im very disappointed that the original version looks so bad.
This game is so fun, and has amazing gameplay. But why is the quality so bad. Ive noticed that most of the other papas games have good quality, but this one is noticeably worse. Developers, can you please make the quality a little better? And maybe make the game fit the screen instead of having a black bar at the top and bottom of our screen? That would make this game worthy of 5 stars. Thanks.
We own all of the flipline studio games and this is one of their older ones, so its eh. But we highly recommend any of their recent games.
Ive played every papas game, and was excited to try this one however, the bad graphics are hard to get past. Quality is blurry and hard for us to look at tbh. A shame, we hope they update this game soon. Also for those who care , you cannot customize your own worker.
If you have an iPad, DONT BUY! Instead, look for Papas Taco Mia HD! Game is still fun, just low quality. Otherwise, for an iPhone, this is your fun Flipline Studios game.
So taco Mia is kinda a boring game we play it but Louie is kinda nuts for making Mitch\maggie work alone LOUIE WHAT THE WORLD WHY if we try to do the challenge of eating tacos we would quit because Im 11 and we cant cook tacos but if we were a adult IM NOT WORKING ALONE FOR YEARS.
Before we start, we are aware this game is quite old, but we still feel the need for enhanced graphics. The developers have updated the game so much ever since the release, and still have not updated the grachics. We adore this game but it just needs a little touch up.
One of our favorite games as a kid we love that it still feels like TacoMia but we believe it deserves an update where its like the other apps you have the graphics need a little touch up.
We love this game so much, however the app quality isnt the same as the newer papa games. It would really be awesome if this game and a few of the older papa games could be updated to have the features that the new ones have. Or at least just fixing the game to look better on the pro max phones would be nice too.
We love the game so much but papas can you guys fix the game quality to HD please :(.
We love the game and all but, can they make this game like the other newest games? Clear and all? Faster too.
We love papas games. We loved them as a child and still love them now. They really are worth it, and super fun. But, this one just doesnt hit right anymore. The graphics just arent as good as they were on computer, and we have a really hard time just seeing things in the game. If this could be fixed we would definitely continue to play it, but these graphics just arent for us.
Ive always enjoyed the various versions of papas restaurants, though the graphics are quite blurry and Id like to have the option to customize our character. We suppose im just saying this game deserves an overall update as well as a slight redesign to liven it up and keep your consumers engaged. :).
The graphics are literally so bad we were almost shocked. The way each sprite moves looks like if someone tried to recreate the papa louie games on scratch. We want a refund but at the same time its understandable because its one of the early installments of papa louie into mobile games, but they still should really update this.
