How old is Papa’s Taco Mia?

Papa’s Taco Mia! was released on May 20, 2011 by Flipline Studios. That makes it over a decade old, but it’s still one of the most popular Papa’s games to play online today.

Why is it called "Papa’s Taco Mia!"?

The first game was named as Papa's Pizzeria and the second was Papa's Burgeria. So, the team originally planned to call the game “Papa’s Taqueria” because taco shops sometimes use that name. It would also match the style of previous games, Pizzeria and Burgeria. But they ran into two problems. First, the word “taqueria” isn’t very common in English-speaking countries, so some players might not realize it’s about tacos (especially with the “Q” in the middle). And the second problem is, other title ideas like “Tacoria” sounded weird out loud not natural. It resembled more like a fantasy kingdom than a taco restaurant. So they name the game Papa’s Taco Mia!. This option made taco super clear and gives a fun nod to “Mamma Mia!, and still feels like it belongs with the other Papa’s games.

Where does Papa’s Taco Mia take place?
