Walked down from our hotel down the street. We were seated right away. I ordered the chicken chimichanga. Was great! Was too hungry and forgot pictures. They made a good margarita too. Would come here again! Good service, clean restaurant. Checks all the boxes. read more

Papitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Arkansas

3/24/26 Been calling since 646pm I get here and make my order, I'm still calling & the phone is just ringing, the short lady is just ignoring the phone ringing, no one is attempting to pick up the phone. Old management would at least answer the phone. This new management don't answer the phone, all she did was looked at the phone when I told her I been calling to make my order, you want answer the phone. I hate that Cancun Restaurant is closed on Main Street, they was getting all my business when they was open. papitos sucks read more

I've gone to Papitos a few times and after trying a few different menu items, I would say that the food here is decent, and that there's definitely better Mexican spots within a 10 minute drive. Unlike the other reviews for this restaurant, I've actually always had great service whenever I've come here. As for the ambiance, it's weird. I've had days where I come in and they're blasting music, and days where I've come in and it's dead silent, either way it's always a tiny bit awkward. read more

Health department reports My order was all piled one to go plate Salad on the plate with beans rice and burrito It lacked seasoning. I had an upset stomach although I did not come close to finishing it I would give them a zero it I could... it's unfortunate they used to have good food... read more

Came in for a quick lunch, the chicken enchiladas Were either soured or the veggies were cross contaminated. I have food poisoning now. And have been up since 3 am out both ends. The food was overpriced as well. Service was ok, he did his best but currently begging God to save me. Will not be back. Would not recommend. read more

I expected more for a $15 burrito. I got home and was very disappointed. The burrito was described as "jumbo" and it was definitely not. The burrito barely had any meat and the meat was dry. The place was empty and I can see why. I finished it and I'm still hungry. read more

Papitos Mexican Restaurant - Burrito Loco - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Arkansas

The food was good.. I had the grande burrito and my husband had enchiladas Mexicanos. The food was hot, and it was good, but NOT the best. The ambience was quiet with quiet Mexican music playing in the background. I loved that . The problem my husband and I had was the poor service. We had to wait for close to ten minutes for the girl to break away from flirting with one of the male waiters to take our order. Moreover, She didn't check on us after delivering our food, not once. Lastly, I excused myself from the table and went to the restroom. Upon walking back to my table, I asked for a box. The girl was hanging all over the counter... swooning over every word this guy said. Bottom line: if you don't want to do your job, then quit and find a new one! Sorry Papitos, we will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Three of us ate there, all getting different plates. All of it was extremely salty. We got the check and I wondered how it could be so high. One beer was $9.99, they add extra for cheese sauce that they make seem like is just an option. They then add a credit card service charge. I decided to pay cash to avoid that and when I went to the register to pay my change should have been $31.42 she gave me $31.00 and said nothing, like they just keep your change. Even with all that I wouldn't have bothered writing a review until I get home feeling sick from the food. Never again will I go there. It used to be alright there. read more

First of all, let me say that the food was excellent. My wife and I really enjoyed the chips and salsa. She ordered her "go to" meal, which is the chicken chimichanga. I ordered two chimichangas à la carte - one chicken and one beef. She has probably had chimichangas from no less than 25-30 Mexican restaurants. She said this one ranked up there near the top. I wasn't really wanting rice and beans this time so I simply ordered mine à la carte. The beef chimichanga was excellent. I wasn't as impressed with the chicken, but I prefer beef anyway, so this wasn't a strike against them. My only complaint is with the service we received. After our food was brought out, we did not see our server again until after we were finished eating and ready for the check. We were offered no refills at all. When the check was given to me, I saw that they charged me for two individual chimichangas ($5.99 each) instead of the menu price for two chimichangas ($9.99). To their credit, they changed my ticket and I was charged the menu price. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, but the service was poor. All that being said, my wife enjoyed her chimichanga so much that she wants to go back and give them another shot the next time we're in town. If I find that the service is much better and that they were simply having a bad day, I will amend this review and bump it up a star or two. read more

Wanted to try this place out. Always pass it but it never looks busy and idk why! Only came for drinks and cheese dip but it was very good! Got it with ground beef. You can tell the chips we're fresh and made in house not bagged. Drink has good amount of alcohol. And the prices were very reasonable. Pretty big inside so come try them out! Our waiter was so nice. They also offer 10% military discount. read more

The food was decent but the service was atrocious. The waitress was very inattentive and we waited almost 20 minutes for our check because nobody was upfront to even ask for one. I won't be going back read more

Food has never been bad. Service has always been fast and friendly. Place is always clean.

This was the worst Mexican I've ever had. I literally ate three bites from the three things I ordered (mini chimi, burrito with red sauce and a taco) I looked at my wife and said this is nasty and pushed my food away. My wife ordered a daiquiri that wasn't very good but she was trying to drink it. They asked her how it was and she told them it wasn't great and the lady started talking crap in Spanish like we don't speak it. We said we speak Spanish towards them and the lady walked into the kitchen. Defiantly avoid here read more

Chips were crisp and warm. Salsa is delicious. So much so that my husband asked if they had bottles of it to buy! Both of our dinners were very good. Didn't have my phone, so no photos. read more

What might be a 4 in Florida or California, in Jacksonville, Arkansas, I give them a 5 star. Seriously, the food is delicious and muy autentica. While the margarita isn't as good as mine (mine is a killer), it was dilicioso! Great atmosphere. I had fun sharing a large margarita with my wife, enjoying the fresh salsa and homemade chips, and the the Chicken Burrito Loco, the beef enchilada combo. I highly recommend you come hungry. You won't be disappointed. They also advertise a 10% military discount. read more

I don't think this style of Mexican food is my cup of tea I didn't eat the food. However the customer service was amazing! The food was horrible. I got the shrimp & chicken pollo quesa & no I wouldn't recommend ! read more

It was on Saturday around 2:30. We were seated and given chips and salsa in a timely manner. They were not busy but it took a long time to get our order out for only 3 people. But my veggie quesadilla tasted burned and only had mushrooms and spinach. Expected onions and bell peppers too; with a little sour cream. Male server barely spoke English; didn't check on us. Gave my husband tortillas even tho the server asked do you want tortillas with your rancheros and husband had said no. Took long time to get the check; so had to ask for it. Won't go back. read more

You get more for your money and the food is a dollar cheaper than the amigos and better

This is my go to Mexican restaurant when in North Little Rock/Jacksonville, AR area. I have been here multiple times. The food is quick and delicious with a healthy portion size, making it a good value. They do have an outdoor patio area, a nice bonus during these covid times. Take out is also an option. I've started going there and ordering food to go. I've been tempted to run to the grocery store near buy to pick up some milk and cereal for the next morning and come back, but they food comes out so quickly, I'm better off just waiting a few minutes. Papitos offers a military discount, surely attracting many of the military members working at and living near the Air Force base just a couple miles up the road. read more

Food was terrible. Asked for a green sauce burrito and two enchiladas and got 3 enchiladas with red sauce. Asked for a chicken quesadilla and got a fajita taco. Asked for tajin on our mango margarita and got sugar. Just overall bad. Food took forever and came out cold. Atmosphere sucked. Server didn't check on us hardly. Seemed like he was overworked and that there wasn't enough servers. I will not be coming back and wish I never came. Taco Bell is better. read more

Papitos is a staple in my household! We ordered Papitos at least once a week. The Nachos Mexicano are my favorite thing to order and my roommate loves the Sky, Surf, & Turf Dip. Huge portions at a descent price. And they have delivery available through Bite Squad (i got 20% with code local20) read more

Excellent food and service, the place wasn't very busy, probably due to the insane amount of road construction going on right there. Just stopped for a quick lunch on our way home from Little Rock. Their lunch menu has some very good choices at reasonable prices. I had the Speedy Gonzales and the portions were generous. We will be going back. read more

Horrible food. Too sweet margaritas. Never again Ordered Steak fajitas. 2 tablespoons of meat with a pound of vegetables!!!! Ridiculous service. Ok read more

I won't come back here. We were thankful Papitos was open and not packed to the brim however service sucked from the minute we walked in. The person at the host stand saw the line, rolled their eyes and sighed loudly... Excuse me? Once we are seated we got drinks but after that we weren't sure who our server was and where they were. We got our plates one or two at a time and waited another fifteen minutes for silverware. The food was not good, greasy and not even grilled...just heated up. I don't usually post bad reviews but I paid without complaint, it wasn't worth making a bad day worse. read more

The food is okay, nothing special but a great atmosphere. The margaritas are good but a bit pricey.

Papitos in Jacksonville used to send out quality food. Papitos owes me more edible nachos and next time please don't put the chips and cheese back in the oven. I don't want burnt, dried chewy chips and a sprinkle of dried cheese. VERY dissatisfied. read more

Outstanding, excellent is how I would describe our experience. We only ordered dips chips and a pitcher of Margaritas. Par excellence! The quacamole dip had too much cilantro for me but I don't care for it so I will throw that one out. The salsa was good , while the papitos cheese dip and bean dip were Outstanding! The Margaritas were good because they actually put a good amount of tequila in the pitcher. We will be back and thank you. So much for the ones in Cabot.. read more

Wow!!! This is good stuff! Stayed at the Best Western next door several times and finally got here early enough to order some late dinner. Close at 10. Ordered to go at 9:30. By ten I had a huge Delicious margarita on the rocks. Time I almost finish my order was ready to take to my rom. I saw a picture here on Yelp of some shrimp kinda dish. It is the Rancero Jalisco I wanted Spicy so it was Avon Jalapenos... A little hot yes but oh so good. I'll be back! read more

Papitos Mexican Restaurant - Ranchero Jalisco Con Jalapenos...! 5 stars! - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Arkansas

I'm giving this location 3 .. food is great, I like it a lot.. but I called my order in for carry out so I can Netflix & chill or Firestick & Chill at home with a good meal. But they charged me .35 for every meal as a carry out. I asked why and the lady said ( I DONT KNOW ) she couldn't answer the question... I guess that's their way of getting a tip out of you, since your not dinning in. But yes I want be back here for a while due to this, it may be petty but that's change that could have went into my kids piggy bank. ( I post the receipt for proof ) read more

That tall women waitress has made it to where me and my family WILL NOT come back. Terrible service and food quality has gone downhill.

Good local spot when you have than Mexican craving! Great salsa, cheese dip, entrees are generous and the margaritas are great!

I went to Papitos with a friend and absolutely loved it! The cheese dip was yummy! I got the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans. It was such a large portion that I had to take half of it home. It was good the next day as well. read more

Excellent Beef Burrito! The green sauce was a great compliment! Chips and salsa was great too! Ordered to go and was surprised to get chips and salsa in the bag with my order. Not sure if it's something they do, or just mistakenly did that. Sorry, no photos on this one. It was so good that the food disappeared quickly! read more

Food is very tasty, but the higher prices that they are charging puts them out of reach of our budget.

Good: Decor Salsa and Chips Papito Cheese Dip Bad: Chili Relleno read more
