FRANCHISE OVERVIEW
After nearly 15 years as only one family-run location in Delray Beach, we are delighted to extend our family past blood by offering franchising opportunities.
Papa’s Tapas has been a labor of love rooted in Cristobal’s, fondly known as Papa, culinary heritage from Alicante, Spain. Inspired by his mother Emilia, a renowned chef, Papa has crafted a menu that celebrates authentic Spanish flavors—from savory tapas and signature sangrias to paellas and refreshing cocktails. We’re blessed to have been a part of the community in downtown Delray Beach.
Now, Papa & his daughter are taking Papa’s Tapas to the next level and continuing the legacy he has established.
We invite passionate entrepreneurs, families and franchisees who share our dedication to exceptional food and hospitality to join us in expanding the Papa’s Tapas experience across the United States and internationally.

“The Sangria set the tone for our experience. It was really good. The appetizers of octopus and chorizo melted in your mouth and then the Paella arrived topped with shrimps, scallops, mussels, calamari, clams, fish and chicken. It was truly an oceanic Spanish expedition of the gastronomy kind. “
