General Info

Chef Felix Rinco (Papi) immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 1980. He immediately started working at Maya Restaurant in Santa Maria and remained there as their main chef for 11 years. In 1991, he took over "Taco Express" in Paso Robles and named it "Papi's" after his own nickname. His cuisine sytle comes from the state of Zacatecas in Mexico. Located in the northwestern part of the central Mexican plateau, Zacatecas has been culturally significant since pre-Hispanic time, when it was one of the few holdouts not conquered by the Aztecs. The people of this area, which was part of the western Mexican region called La Gran Chichimeca by the Spaniards, remained autonomous right up until the time of the Conquest, defending their territory and providing their own sustenance
