Food is excellent and is out quickly. Service has always been wonderful. Recommend the Warm Fajita Salad (so, so very good), Sizzling Enchiladas, and the Spinach Enchiladas. Tried numerous things on the menu and have not been disappointed no matter what is ordered. Make sure you stop here for a great meal! more

The food was extremely good and the service was the best I have ever had in a mid-price restaurant. The portions were very large. The food is somewhat spicy, even on those dishes they say are mild. In summary, a Great Place you need to try. more

I love the Jose Cuervo fajitas that come with steak, chicken, shrimp and fish - a single order is enough for 2 very hungry adults, with... more

After visiting Papa's, and I can't even fathom going back to my favorite Mexican place in my home town. I was totally surprised by the complex flavors and twists on your regular Mexican food favorites. The standard pre-dinner chips were brought out with a bean dip that offered just the right amount of 'bite' for almost anyone. Expect a full... more

We had dinner here on 6/20/09. It was very crowded and very noisy due to the Father's Day weekend crowd. But the food was absolutely fantastic. Lots of food and very good drinks. Baskets of chips kept filled and loved the salsa bar, that's a great idea with the different salsa flavors and heats. We were a large group but... more
