Papa Joe's Cafe - Mercedes

Usually busy in the morning and safe a local small town hotspot.

Friendly owners that greet you as you walk-in. Food is delicious.

Tried this place for the first time. Place was busy but everyone just went about their business. Order did take a while but it was good. No problem with cleanliness. Friendly staff. Descent prices. I'll go back soon

Delicious food, reasonable prices, and a fantastic staff create a wonderful atmosphere filled with memorabilia of the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley adorning the walls. The friendly vibe and tasty dishes are unbeatable. It can get quite busy, so it's best to plan ahead.

From towering stacks of pancakes to flavorful Huevos Rancheros, every dish at Papa Joe's is a winner. Each meal is typically served with fried beans, which are fantastic, and the flour tortillas are just right, rivaling even the corn tortillas. The bacon was cooked perfectly, and I must say the Barbacoa Tacos were outstanding. Interestingly, we noticed that many Hispanic families opted for American-style breakfasts, while the non-Hispanic customers tried the Mexican offerings, showcasing the beautiful cultural blend that Texas is known for. Finding the restaurant can be a bit tricky, as Google Maps may direct you to the wrong side of the building. Look for the Little Caesars nearby to help you locate it easily. Lastly, I would advise skipping the sausages as they were a bit dry, but that's a minor detail in an otherwise stellar experience. Overall, I would still give Papa Joe's a solid five stars!
