Papi's back at Nanaimo North Center Monday May 18th by the playground with all of these other wonderful and delicious vendors. It's supposed to be a competition but I suggest something slightly different. If you buy a plain item from any of the food trucks for the additional cost of a taco we will TACOFY it!!!

You've probably Heard of The incredible taco hot dogs we do with Unleashed Hotdogs so that's a given.

Maybe buy a plain spud with cheese and we can add meat, salsa, cilantro and onion! Maybe even some chicharron.

Buy a plain grilled cheese and we can add our secret menu meat with all the fixings! (We've tried this and it's unreal.

Heck buy a regular lemonade and we'll turn it into a Mango habanero masterpiece!

The possibilities are endless!!!!!

Of course you can still get straight up tacos. We won't be mad about that 🌮❤️🌮

11-7 Monday, May 18th. Come get some!!

Hey Gabriola!!!!

We're back Wednesday May 13th at the GIRO from 11:30 til 3:30 🌮🌮🌮

We've got a fresh supply of all your favorites and even a few secret menu items 😉

Can't wait to see you ❤️
