TL:DR - Good food, great portions at a very reasonable price. The restaurant is very small which means once you get a seat, you get great service. The chips were fresh and hot, and the salsa bar had many choices, but they weren't labeled so must ask or, try them all. I had the fajita burrito combo and it was almost as big as my head. Shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream and rice on the side. It was a bit heavy on the beans, but it was well-balanced and quite tasty. My friend got the fajitas, and he said they were really juicy and held their temperature throughout the meal. Highly recommended and rest assured that you'll have another meal the next day. read more

This is the simply the worst papa's and beer location I have ever been to. If you like loud,-- road noise, interior noise and every clang and clatter of the kitchen, poor service and over salty Mexican.... Then this is the place for you. The waitress did not know some of the liquors at her bar. We ordered table side guac and it was not made at the table but rather back in the kitchen and brought out to us. I ordered a mushroom quesadilla and it came with mushrooms onions and tomatoes My dining companion ordered huervos rancheros And it tasted like there was way too much excess salt. Our waitress never waited a moment to see if we had any further questions as we had to flag her down for the check and to order.Then she left the check and ran away even though we left our credit card out to pay. We had to go find her and walk up to the bar and pay for our meal. I do not leave many one star reviews but I will not return to this restaurant... I will make a special trip to the one on Haywood road. read more

No joke, they put lettuce inside of a burrito. Hot steaming wilted lettuce smells like your eating a bag of dead frogs. What is wrong with people, geesh. In 3rd world Mexico you'll only find lettuce at an all inclusive resort. But it would come separately on the side, cause they're smart. read more

The food was horrible. The tacos were not good their was hair in my taco, and the cheese sauce tasted horrible, and the service was ok. The girl was nice, kind of not understanding her, and the restroaunt is not great read more

A must go every time we are in the area. Mexican food--foodies we love their fajitas and margaritas. Salsa bar is a bonus!!

Good afternoon everyone!! Hey just found Papa and Beers in Simpsonville SC! Let's go for this ride!! Service is excellent! Medium beers is Hhhhhuuuggee!!! Tasty depends on what you get! I had Modelo dark draft!! Excellent choice by me.... chips a little too thick. Not to salty though.. Served with an odd bean dip considering most dishes have retried beans! Salsa bar so many many choices...Had chicken enchiladas the chicken tasted like it sat a long time in the warmer not in a good way...retried beans very nice... rice was over cooked and no spice or heat..lettuce fresh and not dripping wet with moisture . Pretty underwhelming but give it an OK if nothing else is available.. Great service...just needs some heat and spices... Keep on yelping Love read more

I come here every time I'm in town. The Saltillo Sizzling Salad is AMAZING and soooo large. They make it tableside, it's $14 and that's with a ton of steak on top. They have a yummy salsa bar- love the creamy jalapeño. Small marg is big- and only 4.99. Friend had the pina colada - they add whipped cream on top which he found unnecessary not blended well enough, too many chunks of ice, flavor is good though. Staff is super nice! Sometimes a little slow taking orders but they bring plenty of chips :) read more

First they served us chips with bean water not bean dip. It was gross. The salsa was either insanely hot or tasted like ketchup. I tried the carnitas fajita burrito. The veggies were cooked well but the meat had little flavor. I took it out of the burrito to make sure. The portions are enormous so if you are really hungry, you get a lot for the money. Small discount if you pay with cash-look at the bottom of your bill. Wait staff never smiles. read more

So I have been eyeballing this little adorable restaurant with the life size bull outside of the building for some time now. My husband, daughter and I decided that we wanted to give it a try and see what this was like. The décor inside provides a "night of the dead" theme with the statues and rustic Mexican accents. The hubs and I decided to get a margarita. I chose the "medium" size option of their original flavor. The waitress brought out the glass and its FAR from medium in size, but I wasnt upset at all! LOL It was worth every last drop! So delicious. Moving on to food. I had their chimichanga, hubs had a burrito, and well...the kid had a burger, but she did scarf it all down. The chimi had so much flavor and was ginormous in size. Husband was happy with his burrito, but wants to try it covered in their queso next time. Their chips and "salsa" did not come with your average salsa, it was more like a bean dip, but was a welcomed change. The staff was super friendly, and they all worked as a team. If we needed anything we could ask anyone who was near by and they would address our need (for napkins, another drink, etc). I took 1 star away only for the movie they had on at the time we were there. It was not for a 9 year old, and luckily she listened when we told her not to watch it. It was around the time of Halloween so it was a "scary" movie for a youngin. This will definitely be our new local Mexican spot! read more

No idea about the food. Waited for 15 minutes in a dead restaurant and was never approached by the only waitress. Sat and watched her on the phone the entire time. read more

This was my first time here at this location. It's tiny!! We got sat right away. The menu is huge and it was hard to decide on what to eat. I decided on the tostadas-one chicken and one steak. It was huge. The food was good but not excellent. It was a little overwhelming. They do have their salsa bar like the other locations. The service was ok. The bean dip is good as always! read more

not very good at all. Was in the area at night and decided to stop for some tacos and I quickly regretted it. The service wasn't bad but just the place didn't seem so clean.. then the food came and yeah we couldn't wait to leave. I'm not happy with the food here especially with the prices. Their menu is way too big to be able to serve any decent food. Didn't get a picture of my boyfriends burrito.. it was sitting in a plate of meat juices it was super soggy. I just don't recommend this place at all read more

I've lived and traveled all over the US and I can say that this is some of the best Mexican cuisine I've ever eaten! Fresh veggies, tender and perfectly seasoned meat, huge portions and fast friendly service. The fajitas are their specialty and they did not disappoint! Oh and the margaritas are ! read more

I did not eat at the restaurant itself, but made an order on the phone. I arrived and order was ready ( regular steak fajitas and veggie fajitas) . I live that the veggies were fresh not frozen and they serve enough for two meals. * you'll need more tortillas though. They serve three with each order. The flavor was great . read more

Awesome for casual Tex Mex. Not authentic but for cheap Mexican it's awesome! Reminds me of some of my favorite places. Salsa bar is fun and bean dip is awesome! Prices are fair and food is awesome! Not a place for authentic Mexican food but if you love Tex mex you'll love this place. read more

The food was decent. The service was lacking. I'm not a fan of waiting just to get a menu after I've been seated. The food was fine but once it was delivered we never saw our server again. We had to ask someone else for our check. It wasn't busy, so there is no excuse. read more

Can't places Togo orders over the phone. If it's too much trouble they just hang up. Not staffed at all.

I ordered spicy green enchiladas that we're supposed to come with guacamole and sour cream, and your choice of beans and rice OR salad. I chose salad. When my enchiladas came, they were sans sour cream and guacamole. When I questioned the waitress, I was told if I ordered the side salad, I would not get the guacamole and sour cream. Asked to see the manager. Got the guacamole and sour cream--but the enchiladas had zero "spice", but tons of salt that pretty much made them inedible. They've increased their prices--no surprise--but not an excuse. On the plus side, the margaritas were very good. read more

Always good service and food. Can't go wrong here. They might forget plates and silverware unless you ask

I have always enjoyed Papas and Beer food is good and staff are very nice. Price and consistency is very good

This was the worst restaurant experience that I've had in a long time. My husband, our daughter and I walked in on a late Sunday afternoon. It was busy, but there were no customers waiting to be seated ahead of us. As we stood by the doorway, a server walked past us. No greeting, no acknowledgement. Then, a second server. No greeting, no acknowledgement. And a third. Also ignoring is completely. As the fourth employee attempted to walk past with out a word, I stopped her and asked if she could help us. "We're busy," she replied. My husband asked is she could seat us or add is to the waiting list. She picked up the pen on the hostess stand, then turned and said that we should go to another restaurant that bigger with more seats. I was stunned. My husband repeated what she said to be sure and she agreed. She put the pen away without asking our names and walked away. I asked another employee her name - Dianna. So, four completely rude and unwelcoming employees and Dianna was the star of the show. I've never been treated so poorly. We left, went to a competitor and had a lovely meal. read more

This place is good for a cheap, Hearty, cheesy Mexican meal. Their salsa bar is a great plus and it has good flavor. The food is just your average Mexican cuisine with lots of cheese and sauce and their margaritas are decent. read more

I've always enjoyed Papas & Beer! My fam loves it and it's always busy. Great food with outdoor seating if you prefer. It's a family place but the bar drinks are solid too. read more

Found this on Yelp or would have never gone in. I have ridden past it a ton of times, but never thought to stop as it looked a little 'divey'. I searched Yelp to find a spot to grab a bite and saw that the reviews were really solid ... so gave it a shot. Great find and one that we will go back to again and again. Very cozy, small place .. even the parking lot is small. The food is very good .... the bean dip they provide you for free with the chips is SO good, and they have a salsa bar as well. Food was VERY flavorful and the staff, so friendly. read more

I love Mexican food and this is the best in the area. The table side guacamole is awsome. You can never go wrong with there burritos. Tonight I had the Mexican City Tacos. Best tacos of my life bar none. The restaurant is small but the service is great. The bean dip they give you is killer. Try the pumpkin seed salsa. read more

Roaches and really bad food. Not sure how they pass inspections. Women's restroom doesn't have working soap, do you think their staff is washing their hands? read more

this place did not impress. We had never been before and lest just say we left before we could even order our entree's. Everything we ordered was bad.The guacamole was brown and warm, and appeared to be sitting out for a while. The margarita was flavourless as well as the fountain drinks. service was very slow so we decided to just leave before ordering a main course as we assumed it would be no good either. you can kip this place, don't waste your time. read more

We loved the food, the guacamole was good. I ordered the Zacatecas and the shrimp option was good, but the Salmon and fish taco wasn't as flavor as the other ones. We also ordered the Mexico City, and they were very flavorful ! read more

Ok, so the service was terrible. That's why the rating is low. But the food. The food was great. I had a fajita salad with shrimp. Yum. Yum. And a tall cold beer. Chips were perfectly warm and salted. And the salsa bar is great. Be sure to bring hand sanitizer for the salsa bar, but otherwise okay with covid protocols. read more

Ate to-go (quarantine style) I found other papas and beer to have more flavor in their food. The portions were great. Just would like a little more seasoning. They were stingy with the salsa but it was horrible (tasted like lime) so we didn't end up eating what we got anyways. read more

Food was right on - Chile Relleno with Salsa Verde, Shrimp Taco and a small Caesar Salad. 17 ounce Margarita was delicious as well. But, it took soooo long to get my drink - we were already done with our complimentary basket of chips and 3 different salsas when it finally came. That was a slight disappointment. But this particular Papas + Beer has a small footprint with just one waiter that night and he was doing his best. Anxious to try their (larger) sister restaurants! read more

I got the Crispy Yucatan Flautas for dinner tonight. ( 10. 49$) They were amazing!!! I still have four flautas left, could only eat two. They are flour tortillas filled with finely shredded chicken, Jack cheese and green peppers. They top it with fruit relish and cotija cheese. So good! I HIGHLY recommend trying this meal. read more

If you are traveling through Greenville on 385, 185, or 85, GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND EAT HERE. It's small; if there's a wait, then wait, or stop at the bar for a ridiculously cheap 24 ounce handmade chalada beer or standard margarita. The Camarones Enchiladas and Mexican Burrito con Camarones are more than worth the cheap price (~$10), and the fresh salsa bar features salsas I don't recognize. All are tasty. Regardless of what you order, the food is fresh and well above standard micro-mex fare. A couple of real treats are the table side guacamole preparation and the $3 24oz Dos Equis. read more
