Food: enchiladas verdes chicken, la Tropicana, comes with free warm chips and fresh salsa. Enchiladas verdes was not on the menu by itself, it was part of a combo but they let me just order that. It came with refried beans and rice. It's a good choice when looking for Mexican food in Jonesboro. Hubby had the La Tropicana which was too sweet and seemed more like an Asian stir fry, but he ordered it. Service: fast and friendly. Or waiter checked on us a few times. Ambiance: the restaurant was pretty big - can accommodate larger parties.
Always friendly service. Manager is awesome. Never a very long wait. The servers that know us from us visiting all the time are very accommodating and take very good care of us.
Why only three stars for this restaurant?? I would give them more than five if I could!! Looking for a place to eat, we passed Papitos and noticed the full parking lot. So glad we turned around. This place is amazing!! The salsa is very fresh and just the right amount of spices. Our dinners were very generous in portions and absolutely delicious. I ordered the Rancharo and it was oh so good!! Couldn't eat it all. My husband ordered something that had a little of everything. He throughly enjoyed every bit. Papitos, keep doing what you are doing!! It's definitely delicious!! Very clean restaurant and wonderful service. I didn't catch our waiter name, all I know is he was Server 4. He was awesome!!
Really good American Mexican food. The red salsa is very good. Cheese dip is good but thin. Beans and rice were good. They give you a lot of food. The restaurant was full of fatties like me.
The food here is decent. I love the freshness of everything they serve so far. You receive lots of food for your buck. Every time I've eaten here I was able to eat off my food more than once. I would have given it 5 stars but it's hard to get someone to answer the phones here. I have watched them let the phone ring ring until it stops. I would definitely recommend this spot. I did forget to mention that I've yet to receive fresh chips but the salsa was good.
First thing out- appeared to be well visited as Parkkng Lot was well cleared of the recent 10+" Snow. 2nd thing it was after 1:00 so we figured the lunch rush was done and the crowd should be thinned. 3rd due to COVID regs(?) menu was via QR scan at door entering restaurant. Everything should be good for an enjoyable late lunch. Waited 10 minutes after Chips and Salsa were set on table until we inquired about someone to even take our drink order. Another 10 minutes passed- so after 20 minutes invested and NO one inquired about us we now must assume our patronage or dining dollars are not needed here. Suggestion is to go on down the road to Smoke House Bar B Q or Lost Pizza or heck there is a SONIC right next door that I know the customer service is better. Good Luck eating here during a busy time because not much happening service wise after 1:00 on a Saturday.
