Brunch menu stated that eggs and chorizo had potatoes and pico de gallo. However, when the server brought it out, she said they ran out of potatoes yesterday. There was no pico on the plate. My friend ordered hers with no potatoes and fruit instead, so they also gave me fruit- 4 grapes and a small apple slice. 🫤
It would have been nice to have the option to still get the plate with no potatoes or choose something else.

Papa Lopez is our absolute favorite restaurant in the area. We are regulars and for a reason! The service is impeccable and the quality of the food is excellent. Whole, white meat, diced chicken breast on my favorite, individually dressed fajita nachos. Fans for a decade as our go-to Tex-Mex joint. Shout out to Ricardo! Thank you for being a part of our dinner planning year after year and our favorite place to celebrate any happy occasion!
