And it wasn't even enough to cover the plantains. It was insulting to say the least. There wasn't any love or pride in that. Honestly, I would appreciate a refund and a apology. I got the dinner dessert and a can of pop. I drove there bc I was heading out of town. My family and I enjoyed going to eat there regularly especially my mom's before she passed. It was our hang out spot. Please know that it hurts to have to share this review. Thank you

Both the beef and the empanadas were extremely dry and tasteless. I love to cook so I wanted a break of cooking! To make matters worse, the customer service was awful. She did not even give us a fork to eat our rice. When we asked for one, the staff member literally rolled her eyes at us. Sorry to bother you hun! The restaurant is also tiny, with only three tables available. We will definitely not be back. Good luck.

Keep in mind the sandwich did not look this way when served I only did it for the picture $12.99

We parked in the neighborhood and walked around a bit and I like how the people really celebrate their culture here, with all of the flags, decorations, huge murals, etc... There is an exodus of the younger generation leaving the island to go elsewhere, mainly the US mainland...So, when you find a place like Papa's, which is very authentic, come back here, again and again...I think the mainly Puerto Rican clientele shows how legit their flavors are. We started off with the following: - chicken salad, which was full Of flavor and very meaty - the steak Jibarito with garlic butter sauce was incredibly great, this was an awesome sandwich and I'll probably order double meat next time - Maduros - very sweet plantains and could be a dessert - pollo chon (chicken lechon), flavored just right, juicy, tasty and pretty huge The service was inviting and thank you Pana, who was talking with us as we were waiting for them to open their doors for lunch....

Unfortunately, I left really disappointed. I ordered an alcapurria, pescado frito, a pastel, and a jibarito with rice. The alcapurria came out first and was so hard I could barely even cut into it. Since it was lunchtime, I wasn't expecting something that seemed like it had been sitting around, but beyond the texture, it was also really lacking in flavor. I figured maybe it was just an off item or an off morning, so I was still excited when the pescado frito and pastel came out. Unfortunately, those were disappointing too. Everything just lacked the flavor, sazon, and that feeling of food being cooked with love that I'm used to when eating Puerto Rican food. The jibarito was mediocre and didn't have much meat, and the rice was dry with large clumps that weren't even separated. I really wanted to love this location because I've had such good experiences at the Fullerton restaurant, but the quality and flavor just weren't comparable. Based on this visit, I wouldn't come back to the Belmont location. I'l stick with the original on Fullerton.

Wow! I was looking for food that felt homemade and tasteful, I'm glad I found this spot. I loved their Fricase de pollo that I was lucky to taste, they only have it on special days. Also their Cuban sandwich, is the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. If I could I would give them more stars, they treat you like family. Definitely will be going back. read more

The restaurant has that classic Mexican restaurant look and a welcoming atmosphere. From our table, we could see straight into the kitchen, which was busy the entire time with food being prepared and coming out. The staff were really nice and welcoming, checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Asada Sope Dinner, and wow... these things were massive. Each sope was packed with meat and covered with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crema, with a layer of beans underneath holding everything together. It was basically a little mountain of food on each plate. The sopes themselves were crispy and crunchy around the edges. The beans added a warm, savory layer underneath, while the crema brought some coolness and richness to everything. The meat was the star for me. It was juicy and tender with those little charred edges that gave it a smoky, grilled flavor. These were honestly epic. Definitely I'll be coming back just for those sopes, a delicious mountain of food.
