Food was amazing, and the menu was a nice variety! We really liked the appetizers and house specialty pork stuffed poblano peppers relenno. The service was not as attentive as one would hope with refills having to be requested after amount of time, same for the chips. Overall it was a delicious meal that I didn’t mind paying that much for.

Tacos and the street corn are bland. Cocktail was good, they didn’t cheap out on the liquor.

A Mixed Bag at Papá Grande's Coastal Taquería! **Pros:** - Efficient service: The staff were friendly and responsive. - Quick food service: Didn't have to wait long for our meals. - Pleasant dining environment: The taquería has a great vibe. - Enjoyable meals: The food, on the whole, was satisfying. **Cons:** - Minor cleanliness lapse: A glass with lipstick required replacement. - Greasiness: Found the tortilla chips to be too oily. - Spice level: My meal was a bit spicier than anticipated. Review: "Papá Grande's offers a mostly positive experience with its prompt service, enjoyable atmosphere, and tasty food. However, encountering a glass that wasn't properly cleaned and dealing with greasy tortilla chips were downsides. Additionally, the spice level in my dish was higher than expected. While these issues marred the experience slightly, the restaurant still holds promise for a good dining experience, especially if you're in the mood for coastal Mexican cuisine.

Sat upstairs at the bar to catch the end of happy hour. Happy hour drink prices aren't what they used to be but we'd still go back. Food and drinks were good, and the service was awesome. Even begin off season the place was pretty busy.

We were in for a girls weekend and went here for dinner. As we waited for a table we all (8 of us) went upstairs to the bar for drinks. Luke the bartender was amazing!!!! If you like spicy margaritas you got to try theirs, very very good. I will come here again
Food was really good. The bang bang calamari is a must

Hands down the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. First of all they put soy sauce in the fajitas and the meat is of very poor quality. Their salads are barely a salad. The taco meat also is of poor quality. The only thing ok are the chips and salsa. I've given this place a chance at least three times and each time it has been bad. Think twice about spending your money on this place!

Amazing place! I ordered the Adobo Chicken burrito and it was the best I've ever had. Customer service was excellent. Parking was crazy though. It was a traffic jam trying to leave the parking lot and people trying to turn in to park from Lighthouse Road.

I cannot believe this isn't a 4.8 or above. The service in most places post-COVID is dismal. The service here at the bar and table is 5 star. They anticipate your every need. Food is high quality and the portions are generous. Plenty to share, but you're not going to want to. I had blackened shrimp. Excellent. The onion rings used for a garnish are the best I have ever had. I'd give this place more stars if I could. Very very affordable!

My husband and I had dinner at papa grande tonight for the first time. We got seated right away around 4:20. I had the chicken quesadilla and my husband had the chicken adobe burrito. Both arrived pretty quickly. From start to finish our first time here was great. Fast, pleasant service, great food and wonderful atmosphere sitting outside. We will definitely be back for more
