The service was amazing. Since it was our first time there we asked for advice about what was popular and tried a little bit of everything. The beef and cheese pastelillo was nice and beefy but the chicken and cheese was even better. The relleno was a much better version of a fried mashed potato ball than any other version I have had, with a little beef inside too. We got the slow roasted pork meal as well which was delicious and came with yellow rice which was amazing. The chef even brought out some beans to go with it on the house and they were delicious too. We got to try all their sauces. The mojito sauce was the best but they were all good. We're having the leftovers for dinner right now because we don't want to wait to have more. Give them a try!

We were so disappointed. We ordered the Shrimp Mofongo at $16 a plate, you'd think we'd get more than 6 little shrimp. Not just the portions but the Taste was also suffering. The owner Carmelo was extremely kind and offered to make his special Steak Mofongo - Yeah-NO. No Bueno...He discounted the price of the Shrimp, but although we didn't like the steak or the rest of the food - He still charged us. $57.00 for A Stomach Ache.The ONLY food that was Okay was the pastelillos - the empanadas. Luckily I ordered one of each flavor and that's basically all we ate. The rest went to our 5 little rescue dogs.Parking: We drive a class c rv, there's plenty of room.

My first time at Papa's. The food was very good. The establishment was like walking into my parents house with the PR music going. The pasteles could use a little more tast, but over all is very good. I will definately be back for more.

Four of us (out of towners from VA) showed up at 7:45 p.m. on a Friday night, the only in-house diners. We were treated like royalty by the owners' sons. We received terrific recommendations on what to order and enjoyed everything, especially the pastelillos and roasted pork. This place looks like a hole in the wall, especially from outside on a cold, dark night, but it is truly a hidden gem. The hospitality we experienced was top notch.

It took me back home with all the amazing flavors. No place like Puerto Rico !
Wow! Excellent Puerto Rican food! Mofongo with fried pork is the real deal! The alcapurias are 100% authentic and better than any I've ever had in Miami. Restaurant is super clean and the staff is so nice. Please go and support this establishment. It truly is a hidden gem!
