Food was delicious. They prepare guacamole at your table with fresh ingredients. Margaritas were delicious. Service was speedy and friendly. They were families with young kids and some young adults stopping in after work so it was a bit noisy. Everyone was just having a good time . Plenty of parking .

Fried Shredded Chicken Chimichanga.
Brennan R.

Don Papa Grande is a solid establishment that welcomes you in with its branded embroidered decor and warm environment. Every time I try a New Mexican restaurant, I go with my faves, a chimi and a marg. The chimichanga was good, it was very similar to La Carreta, another Virginia staple. I was happy to see a heaping scoop of guacamole upon it as well! The beans weren't my favorite though as they had an almost sweet tang to them. Not terrible, just not my cup of tea. Now the margarita is something to talk about! They come in three sizes, small-large. The large, being a 32oz behemoth was not for me on the day we went as I didn't want to stumble outta there. I went with the medium, a respectable 24oz. Flavor wise, it is very citrus, lending to a combo of lime and orange. And lemme tell you, that drink goes down smooth! You almost don't taste the liquor, but you surely feel it. The star of the show was the chips and salsa...you...just, can't stop eating them... Go to Don Papa Grande, it's a good time, good food, and awesome staff!

Margarita flights for $16

This place has typical Mexican/American food, but it has stand out margaritas. Flights of Margaritas for $16 The choices are Raspberry, Lime, Strawberry, and Mango. They also have a blue one and a Spicy Mango one as well. As for food, I recommend the fajitas for two with shrimp.

Service is quick and friendly. The food is hot and delicious. They bring out the chips and salsa and white sauce while you wait on your food. I had amazing churros and ice cream for dessert.

Enchiladas

Great food with even better staff. This place is a great spot to stop in if you're in the Chester area. The staff is very welcoming and the overall vibe in this spot is amazing. The drinks and food will leave you satisfied & excited (drive safely lol).

Stop by for the classic Virginia cream dip with salsa and chips. Can't beat the $7 house margaritas. Outdoor seating available. The perfect stop before or after a show at the Perk!

A ground beef burrito with queso on top and beans and rice on the side

Delicious food I ordered a queso fundido, plain queso, and a burrito with ground beef inside and queso drizzled on top, and it was all delicous. They have a white sauce and salsa for your chips, but I don't recommend the white sauce it might be good to some people, but me and my family and I do not like it. The waiters are very kind and get all the orders correct. When you walk in, you'll see they have a little bar, a little stand where you put your head in and take a picture, and candy at a counter for a little extra money. Very good and would come back!

I visited Don Papa Grande last week and my boyfriend and we loved the food. I think this may be my new fave Mexican restaurant in the area. The food came our fairly quickly. I ordered the Birrialicious burrito which had beef, rice, beans and cheese inside. It was packed with flavor. The churro ice cream was also a yummy treat. The service was friendly and we will be returning.

My food all soggy made me lose my appetite

For the price they could at least put my Salad on a different plate instead on top of my food so it's not soggy

a variety of drinks on a tray
Dani R.

Great food, great drinks, fantastic service! Wait staff was friendly. Restaurant was clean welcoming!

Fish tacos
Marilyn B.

First time eating here and hands down, this is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Our experience was outstanding. Such an extensive menu I had a hard time deciding what to order. The drink menu was just as extensive and had a lot of great choices as well. The Mexican trash can will have you more than tipsy. Even the waiter gives you a warning and cautions you when ordering. The coctel de camaron was delicious. The tomato base is quite flavorful. The chorizo taco was tasty and not too spicy. The chorizo was fried with a slight crisp just how I like it The fish tacos were amazing. I do not typically order fish tacos but I am so glad I did. The grilled tilapia was cooked perfectly and the chipotle dressing was the perfect finish to the tacos. The white rice was the best rice I've had from any Mexican restaurant in this area. Texture and seasoning was on point. Restaurant has plenty of seating. It was not understaffed. Fast and Attentive service from our waiter. Best of all, great prices compared to other Mexican restaurants. Portions are huge. The Ambiance is your typical Spanish decor, darker lighting. I can't wait to come back.

Enchiladas Supreme- I loved the cheese and bean ones
Leah R.

My mom and I went to this place after a tennis match and I really enjoyed the food. I got the enchiladas Supreme, which were so delicious. They came with 4 enchiladas- chicken, beef, cheese, and beans. The cheese and bean enchiladas were by far my favorite because the meat ones were sort of dry. Obviously it came with chips, which were good, too. Maybe it's just a Mexican place thing, but there was no salt on them, which I guess is smart lol. Either way, I'd come back here.

Dinner for two

Ask the Community - Don Papa Grande

Does anyone have the recipe for the white sauce they serve with chips?

No but if you do some research you might find one. According to what I've read about the "white sauce", this was started by a Mexican restaurant near the beach (Virginia) so you may want to read up and see if you can find one. If so, let us know!

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Chesterfield. Louis and his staff are the friendliest and…read moremost generous welcoming people in the industry. The atmosphere is energetic and immersive as a Mexican Cantina is. We have been coming to El Patron for 20+ years. The food is plentiful, delicious, authentic and delicious. Well done All.

My friend and I were met with smiles by the team at El Patron Cantina in Chester. We were given a…read morechoice of two seating areas. Both dining areas are nicely decorated with good lighting (just enough/not too much). It is a wonderful family environment (yes, even the bar) We were quickly seated and given a choice of a couple tables. We opted for a high top table in the bar. Our lovely server greeted us with a smile. We were promptly served water along with warm chips and delicious fresh thick salsa. We ordered "Top Shelf" Margaritas. During different visits the various margaritas were excellent. There are many great choices. I usually judge a Mexican restaurant by their chimichangas. The beef tip chimichangas were beautifully presented and hot.The "chimis "had excellent texture and flavor. High marks for the flavor, size and presentation. I just returned from Houston and loved the Tex-Mex there. Given that recent experience, El Patron rates highly. I visit often and recommend that you do the same. It is a real treat every time. The only downside is the background noise. When the dining area is crowded, the noise is problematic. El Patron should invest in some noise reduction.
