Great place to get Mexican food in Hattiesburg. I got the chicken fajitas quesadilla which came with a choice of rice/beans or salad. It also comes with chips and salsa. The quesadilla was large and flavorful. While it was delicious, I wish the quesadilla was a bit more crispy and much of it was mushy. I wish there was more cheese as well. But overall great tasting food and good service. read more

Papitos - Mexican Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Waiter didn't get half the order! Didn't listen to a work that was said. Had to take food back! Wouldn't come again!!!

Very good service, waiter was very knowledgeable & courteous. Have been many times last few years, first review. Tbh, $10 for a shot of Cuervo is pricy,,the Margarita was $13 but food is reasonable and with exception of a tamale over a year ago, very good. read more

Located in a slower spot. Hidden in the back of the plaza. This place isn't too busy and the service was good. The food was delicious as well. The carnitas (pork) was our favorite. It was so soft and flavorful. The steak tacos were great as well. The steak had a nice char to it. Did not like the tamales too much. They put too much sauce on it which overpowered the meat flavor and it was kind of tangy. We were surprised at how much our bill was. Definitely above averagely priced. read more

sometimes the food is very good, sometimes it leaves you questioning their thought process as to why what you were served is acceptable. if you want consistently good food try Rio Grande because you are rolling the dice when you order at papitos. it's a gamble. It's a shame because Papitos used to be very good and consistent with their food. read more

My husband and I stopped in for some drink and ordered some margaritas, chips and queso, and a couple of shots... as I'm sipping my margarita, I noticed something was floating around in my glass, and when I took a closer look it was a small roach. A ROACH!!!!! I called the waiter back over and showed him, and his reaction was very uninterested and nonchalant. He asked me "Would you like me to remake it for you?" ... UMMM SIR, REMAKE IT?! My husband asked him "isn't it going to come out of the same machine?" Like what in the world?! We just left. read more

I got a bad tasting pepper, when I said something about it, the waiter did not care, no offer to do anything about it!

I've been looking for a Mexican eatery for two weeks here and this is by far the best I've found in this area! The prices are reasonable and the food very good. I'll be back. read more

Food is average/slightly above average Mexican food.. My family use to eat here all the time... The biggest problem I have is the price.. Easily the MOST expensive Mexican place in Hattiesburg.. Is it worth the inflated prices ??? No, there are too many other choices in Hattiesburg.. $67 for 2 adults and a child read more

Third time reviewing this place and still just as happy! This is hands down my fav Mexican joint in the burg! I've tried a few of the others and always walked away disappointed. Some places do have better chips and salsa, I will say that. But papitos always wins when it comes to quality and quantity and service. I will continue to establish this place! Second time reviewing them here, but we just got back from lunch and omg it was awesome! I got the Festival Dinner and Festival Dinner and I really think it is the best value for your money there. It's A LOT of food, more than fajitas! And it's a great way to try some of all Mexican flavors. It was only 9.99. It was Super awesome! You can't go wrong with this one! I think this is going to be my new dish I order when we go there! That and cheese dip! :) read more

There was a traffic jam for an accident so we got off the highway at Hattiesburg. This restaurant had several cars so we stopped. What a lucky break. The restaurant is large and has an outside patio too. The menu is large and they have lunch specials. I had the chicken fajita quesadilla. My husband had another chicken dish. Both lunches were large servings. They were some of the best Mexican food we have had for a while. We come from an area with tons of different genres of Mexican food so we have high standards. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and fast. We would definitely go again. read more

Hwy 59 location. Delicious food with good service! But the music is always way too loud!! read more

The little boy who answered the phone when I placed my order about thirty minutes ago should be FIRED. I asked him a question about the menu and he didn't know the answer so he would ask the guy next to him and I could literally hear him cursing. Then when he finally came back to the phone he was mouthy. After I got my total I asked him to repeat my order because it seemed too high. So I asked him to make the large queso a small and I said the price was a little high for me. He came back with a smart ass "it's the prices" so I told him he was mouthy and I'd be talking to the manager when I come in to get my food and he said "well too bad the manager ain't in" I said well I guess I'll have to come back when he or she is huh. Then I hung up. I didn't go get my food and he is the reason I won't be back. Unless I go speak to the manager. read more

We arrived 2 hours prior to online closing time. We were turned away because we had to many people in our party (12) and they wanted to close in 30 minutes!!! Terrible terrible customer service. I will not ever try to eat here again. read more

Three stars... usually I have a very good experience here. The food is always hot, fresh, & a lot for your money... but then again, I always in most cases get it to go. The last time I went here I decided to sit inside...me and a friend walked in and was greeted by the host immediately. We sat down and we're given menus and quickly was served chips & salsa...for about 5mins we waited on a waitress/waiter while others around us got served/orders taken and dismissed. The one waitresses who was assisting everyone in the area looked at us and said someone would be with us shortly by this time 10mins went by. She then continued with everyone around us and went to the bar and loudly said Angel I'm not getting them because that's not one of my table to wait on. It shouldn't have mattered who table it was customer service should have been priority. After hearing this we got up and started walking out. She then stopped us to ask if we wanted her to wait our table. I replied no thank you...& we took our business elsewhere where where customers service is a priority and tipped that waiter $40. read more

This is the worst Mexican restaurant I ya Ave ever been too. The service is terrible - the wait stafF is so rude - and they're constantly out of random things. Every time I've been they were out of something, and not just certain dishes. Once they were out of all alcohol except beer and wine. Another time they were out of salsa. Tonight o had an issue with an order from them that O made through DoorDash. They cancelled my order without any warning, and when DoorDash called the restaurant to try and resolve the issue, the representative from the restaurant hung up on them. The worst part was that this was a re-order because my original delivery was damaged in transit because they'd packaged it so poorly. I explore you: DO NOT SUPPORT THIS SHAM OF A BUSINESS. read more

Food is normally great, as well as service, but last night our waitress "Bri" messed up one of our orders (shrimp fajita quesadilla), she brought out a chicken quesadilla and was extremely rude about us telling her that's not what was ordered, extremely politely might I add. She then proceeded to still bring out the wrong thing again, a shrimp quesadilla instead of fajita quesadilla. On top of all of this, they have always closed at 11 pm (it even states it on here and on google) and we ordered another marg at 9:30 and she comes around at 9:45 saying she couldn't make it now because they close at 10. We just gave up at this point, finished our food and asked for our ticket. The person who had ordered the shrimp fajita quesadilla mentioned that she didn't want to be charged for that and only for a basic shrimp quesadilla (which is what she got instead of what she asked for) and our waitress threw up her hands and said "I'll take accountability and get your ticket" in a very rude and loud tone... basically yelled at us about it throwing her hands in the air all angrily. She never came back around and we had to get another worker to fix our ticket because she didn't fix anything and actually charged us for a chicken quesadilla plus a shrimp fajita quesadilla. Will not be eating here again. Shitty experience. read more

This was our fave Mexican, but today it was not good! :( The chicken was very rubbery, chewy, like it had been cooked & reheated repeatedly? No soap in bathroom and the hostess just smiled... did not get any? Chips were almost all broken bits! At least the server was nice and did not charge when we sent the chicken back. Please get it together Papito's, we loved you last time we visited a few months back! read more

Wonderful spot to stop on our way back from the beach! Great food and ambiance. Styled like a traditional Mexican restaurant, with ceramic fixtures and great tables. We got a booth near the window. Our waiter was prompt, courteous, and happy to help with our order. The tri color margarita was fantastic and just the right size. I had the Speedy Gonzales, and my husband the steak chimichanga. Both were delivered quickly and hot. Both were also bigger than expected, so we didn't feel hungry when we left! We ordered off the lunch menu and our whole bill was less than $35 including drinks and a tip. Great food! Great place for lunch for sure! read more

Worst Mexican Food I have ever had. If you want authentic mexican food don't go there. Food was cold and tasted as if it had been prepared long before it was served. I am originally from Mexico and this aint it. read more

Food was great. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was loaded with chicken. I've never had a quesadilla with so much chicken it was delicious! The chips and salsa are just right. I'm not a huge fan of cilantro and it doesn't have it in the salsa so an added bonus form me. read more

Best mexican restaurant in Hattiesburg. Generous portions. The fajitas actually have meat in them unlike other restaurants that fill them with mostly peppers and onions. Large bar with numerous flat screens. A fantastic place to celebrate an occasion can accommodate large parties which is nice. I would recommend this place. read more

First time here. Pretty good Mexican food. Ordered burrito and enchilada and added a chalupa(its not a Taco Bell chalupa)with a side of rice and beans. Typical Mexican, which is a good thing. Also got the fried ice cream. There was to much cinnamon or nutmeg flavor for me. Will definitley go back. Wife says she like them better then Del Sol.( another Mexican restaurant in town) read more

Good atmosphere, nicely decorated rooms. Clean tables and surrounding areas. The service is quick and the servers were very friendly and easily answered our questions regarding some of the menu items. We ordered the Shrimp Chimichanga and the pineapple chicken fajitas. Both were served piping hot with large plate of guacamole, sour cream, rice and salsa. Both plates were perfectly cooked and very large portions. Loved every bite. read more

Good Tex-Mex food. It's been surprisingly hard to find good Mexican food in Hattiesburg, at least for our family. This is becoming our go to place though. I rate places on how they do what I went there to do, and with Mexican, I just want good chips and salsa (check), fast service (check), and tasty dishes(check). It's nice if a place is clean and festive, but not necessary. This place is that. A nice festive decor greets you, and we have been seated immediately both times. I've had a chimichanga and the combo fajitas. Both were very tasty, and my goodness they PILE the food on. The portions are absolutely enormous, even by Tex-Mex standards. A single kid's quesadilla with rice and beans fed my three youngest kids 9, 7, and 5 by itself. I couldn't finish my chimichanga and left a few strips of chicken from the fajitas, not because of taste, but because I just ran out of room. This is easily a place where 2 adults can split and entree. My only complaint is my eldest daughter's shrimp dish had several shrimp with the veins still in them, which distress her greatly. Bathrooms are average. (I usually rate bathrooms, as for me, this is a mandatory part of any restaurant experience, both because I wash my hands before eating, and because I have 4 kids. Bathrooms have on occasion added or subtracted a star). Anyway, if you haven't found your Hattiesburg Tex-Mex place, give Papitos a try. We'll be back. read more

Papito's is quite honestly one of the best Mexican places in Hattiesburg. I've actually worked here at one time so I can say that the food is fresh, prepared daily, and the cooks are hard workers who truly care about delivering good quality food. While the food is a little bit Americanized it really does still cling to its Mexican/Latin American roots by being well seasoned and spiced. Overall the portions are extremely generous for the prices and while they can get quite busy some nights the wait time is never long. My menu favorites are the Parrillada for 2 which is a huge platter of carne adasa, carnitas, shrimp, chicken, chorizo, peppers and onions which is INCREDIBLE... and it will reastically feed 3-4 people rather than two. The choriqueso is great as well as the Papito's Fiesta and a dozen more things on the menu. Papitos is my go-to for birthday dinners and reunions with out-of-town friends. I live completely on the other side of town and will take the 20 minute drive past 8 other Mexican restaurants to get to this one. Fantastic restaurant. read more

I live in California soooo I get great Mexican food, so I will say t was supper impressed with the Papitos Dip, salsa and chips. The portions were large but I should have stayed away from s ground beef taco. The carnitas were delicious snd the Grande Burrito was HUGE! Great service. read more

Best Mexican Food in the Hattie!!! If you got something bad to say about it, I'll punch in your f***'n mouth!!!! jk For real though, I eat there all the time. It can't be beat.

This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant here in town. Great margaritas. Great food. This is not first time here but my first time checking. Everything that I have ordered has been delicious: Chimichanga, Fajita Quesadilla, and Fiesta Grande Burrito. It's so much until I can't eat it all. They give you salsa and chips also, read more

The food is pretty good. It is Tex-Mex, which means that it is pretty much lots of cheese, meat and chips. There is lots of it on the plate and it was served hot. Chips were right out of the bag and the salsa was just ok..a bit thin and not much zip to it. Fish tacos were a three on a five scale, nachos were huge, but just meat and cheese. The seating is good and the service was very good. It is a good stop for lunch as the service is fast. It is the best that I have found in Hattiesburg..so far. read more

This is my favorite place for Mecican food! The staff are nice, the selection is great, amd the food is always wonderful!

This is the worst place if there was a 0 I would rate them that & the owner even worst no customer service skills whatsoever. I called 15 min before hand to place an order & asked if I was able to do a plate with all steak instead of chicken they said yes I said I wanted two of them when I come they only charged me one & I asked them to do the same & then the owner tells me NO the person who took my order was wrong so I told them that's not my fault that's why I called before & asked. When I had to tell her then just charge me the difference to replace chicken over steak she was arguing over $3!!!! If she would've given me that option in the first place I would've saved my breath & time!! For a mistake and miscommunication on they're end. I work in customer service so if you or your business made a mistake own it and honor it! Simple as that. read more

wonderful food!!! they will always go out of their way to make sure you get want you want best fajitas ever

The food was pretty good, as were the $1.99 house margaritas. The staff, however, was not friendly, and SLOW. We got our chips and salsa immediately, but it took at least 10 minutes to get our drinks, and we couldn't even eat it until we got our drinks because it was spicy. We got our food in a reasonable amount of time, but once we got it, our server disappeared for at least 30 minutes. When she finally returned, she put the check on the table without a word, which we weren't even ready for, and started walking away as if she didn't want us to ask for anything else. We had to stop her to get a Togo box. We also wanted to get another margarita and maybe a dessert, but she dropped off the check and disappeared before we got the chance to ask. We didn't see her again, so we decided to just go to the counter to pay and get out. I have her name, but don't want to list it on here incase she was just having a bad day. read more

Great food and service. Enjoyed our food and waiter asked numerous times what else could he do. Glad we stopped by.

horrible experience. no one spoke when we came in. we sat ourselves. sat 20 minutes. no one came to table. they had just opened for the day so it was not busy. we left, then someone spoke to say have a nice day. i left my amazon work hoodie in the booth. a worker either threw it away or stole it because there were no guests near our booth read more
