    Nios Nachos
    Andrea W.

    Had the pleasure of wondering in on national margarita day. These Nachos were sooooo yummy. They had layers of flavor and perfect for sharing. Papi's have great daily special so it's something for everyone. The only thing I didn't like was the constant country music. Its kind of threw me off considering its a mexican style place but not 1 mexican song was played the entire visit. Was disappointed

    This is for the one in lancaster... its a great location spot right in the village, the service was very respectful and the food came out fast and amazing. Everything was warm as well as very good. I recommend this place highly if your stopping through for good eats

    Hibachi taco, bang bang shrimp taco and Nashville taco
    Tania P.

    It's Tuesday!! What's better to do than eating tacos? Eat tacos and drinking maragiritas on a patio with live music!!! So Papi Grandes was the choice!! I've never been Papi Grande's, but I've driven past it numerous times. Things I loved right off the back is that they had a kids menu for my little person, Taco Tuesday special, and they have a large patio!! So obviously, we ate on the patio. It was such a vibe, especially with the live music performance!! The waitress recommended we get the lime maragiritas bc they are $6 on Tuesdays. Our cups were pretty full. However, I wouldn't say it was my favorite maragirita. I imagine they are probably pre-made due to the special. Another taco Tuesday deal we decided to partake in was 3 specialty tacos for $15. They had pretty cool taco flavors, I chose Nashville chicken w/o pickles, bang bang shrimp, and hibachi chicken and steak !!! The waitress said it would be a wait, so I ordered the elote corn dip. About 15 minutes later, all the food came out at the same time !! Unfortunately, all the food came out cold, including the corn dip. We kept the dip because we were starving and sent back the tacos. Within another 15 minutes, our re-made orders came out. I could definitely tell that these tacos were re-made because looked much better than the initial tacos and were warm. However, were they not hot. The tacos were ok, my favorite was the hibachi because the chicken and steak were flavored very well and sauce was perfect!! Overall, the waitress was very nice and apologetic given our food. The live music was amazing but I was not very impressed with the food. I will say that it was taco Tuesday, and there were numerous customers in and outside. I'd be curious how my experience would be on a regular day. Not sure if I'd give this a second chance immediately because there are so many great Mexican restaurants in the area, but I will definitely be back some day, and I hope I will be able to change my reviews!!

    Food was ok , nothing special. I keep giving them another try ! The eggrolls were different so i enjoyed those , worst margarita i ever had ! Server was super nice , she said she was new . Didn't appreciate the smell of weed at the end of the meal , seeing i was my daughter. We were there for the live music so that was nice !

    My husband and I went here for taco Tuesday and needless to say I was very disappointed at the lack of flavor and how horrible these tacos were. Although the service and the ambience was very nice, I just couldn't get over how bad these tacos were.

    Mexican Fried Ice cream

    My friends and I come here for their fantastic nachos. Served with fresh homemade chip it is truly one of the best indulgences when you're craving something savory and light to accompany happy hour or as a treat before catching a movie next door tat the AMC. I treated myself to their mexican fried ice cream and it did not disappoint either. Watch out for their specials too!

    Great food, painfully slow service! We had a table of 7, which is larger, but not huge and there were not many other people in the restaurant... one or two other smaller tables, max. It took about an hour for us to get our food. Thankfully, when we did get our food, it was all tasty! Our orders ranged from tacos and burrito bowls to quesadillas and mac & cheese. The waiter was nice and apologetic about the long waiting time for everything. I would consider giving them another try, but definitely would not risk it if I were in a hurry... from start to finish, we were at the restaurant for about two hours! Also, the bathroom was NOT clean. Not the worst I've seen; but I'd say, don't use it if you don't have to.

    INSTANT REVIEW COMING YOUR WAY! FRESH OFF THE FIRST FEW BITES: If you see the BOGO Birria Rolls on Uber Eats, dont get dragged in, good deal, legit size, sounds great BUT "Could've been better" as my 2 Star rating says. For the good: price- BOGO: GREAT, Size of these puppies- Wonderful (Larger than the normal pizza log if you will), the side of queso was the saving grace here, that was delicious. The meat was plentiful and "alright". The roll was not crispy but I can chalk that up to ordering through Uber eats and delivery time, I even popped them in the airfryer for a little crisp, didnt really work- maybe it had to do with what tasted like/could of been brown sugar all on the roll? Is brown sugar normal for a dish like this? It def. caught me off guard! I did not like that, too sweet, thought I was a the Erie County Fair eating fried dough. Im a dipper now, so when I saw it came with a sauce-I was excited, I thought YES, great texture, thick, looked dark which I thought spicy- Nope, Neither, NO TASTE at all and I mean legit it did not have a taste. Kinda sad about these, I love apps, I love rolls, I love dips, I love tacos, I love meat and these just didnt do it for me.

I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.

We only had one issue with a steak being sent back because it was not cooked properly. Of which they corrected right away and refired the entire meal WITH sides not just the steak. I ordered the salmon with rice and green beans. It was cooked medium and had a sweet but Blackened taste. The top of the salmon was a bit tough but not so much that it retracted from the taste or texture overall. The sides complimented well. I really enjoyed it. We ordered HUGE triple play burgers...of which even the guys didn't finish , wings, THE PORK CHOP WAS TENDER AND DELICIOUS (Can you tell I wish I ordered that...stole from my guest's plate), Blackened Chicken and shrimp avocado salad. Everything was really good. Had the Carrot Cake for desert and it could easily be enjoyed by three people. Great flavor in a surprisingly wonderful presentation. Service was with a new waitress, but she was kind and did her best. Service was out of order at times. For stance, she left drinks sitting at the bar so long they started to get watered down instead of serving them when she noticed them and taking our order afterwards. But she'll learn as she goes. She has the most important things down...service with a smile. Food came out at a good pace. Allowed us to have great conversation and enjoy the appetizers. Manager delivered the refired steak and stayed to make sure it was cooked to preference before leaving the table. Ambiance was tavern-like. Wood chairs and tables, dim lighting, clean, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great for small or large groups. We also had no wait at 3:30pm on a Monday afternoon, which I was gratefu, especially for our group size. Check them out. We had a great time. Recommended!

I paired that with a tasty pile of sweet potato waffle fries and a side of honey for dipping them in. The fries were a perfect blend of crispy outside and soft inside, just a touch of salt, and the honey is genius (it's an extra $1 and well worth it). Several other beers on the menu look tempting too, and they make their own pizza dough! Another plus: the owners are friendly awesome people. I am very likely to return. The inside seating area is larger than it looks like from the outside, with plenty of seating at the bar and at tables, plus an outdoor patio. Restrooms are clearly marked and easy to access. There are several large TVs showing various sports games - no closed captions though. Music is nice, there was an upbeat jazz background while I was there. It's on the louder side but not too loud to have conversations. If you don't get lucky with a parking spot out front, there is a decent sized free parking lot just down the street and around a corner. This is another win for the beer passport!

The bartender was friendly and checked on us a few times, even though he was swamped by those at the bar. We didn't opt for any food from the kitchen, but were glad to see there's the option to chow down while drinking. An added perk was that finding parking on a weeknight was super easy. We were able to practically park in front of it. I would definitely return. Cool little spot!
