El Papagayo Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience, catering to both plant-based and meat-eating preferences. The jackfruit tostada and tofu tacos receive high praise, while the carne asada burrito remains a crowd-pleaser. The mango cucumber salsa adds a refreshing touch. The staff is described as friendly and welcoming, maintaining their efficient service even during busy times. With a dedicated vegan menu and accommodating service, El Papagayo Restaurant is a go-to spot for Mexican cuisine that satisfies all palates.
The restaurant has undergone structural updates, including a revamped bar area, creating a fun hang-out atmosphere. The bar food menu features delicious and healthy meal options, with vegan entrees being a highlight. The Manila Punch slushie is a refreshing summer delight.
Bartender Kyle, Chef Diego, and owner operator Fj are all personable and welcoming, inviting everyone to be part of the El Papagayo circle of friends. The service is great, and the food, including the carnitas papa burrito and asada street tacos, is fabulous. The horchata is described as the best ever.
El Papagayo has recently reopened, and while the menu is limited during the soft-opening phase, there are still plenty of vegan options, including some new additions, as well as the delicious salsas and chips. The interior has been remodeled, with a clean and updated look, and a humungous bar area. Customers have enjoyed their meals in a comfortable space with friendly service, making it a top choice for a great night out.
