The cook over here serves a hotdog that is smothered with his homemade chili, and it turns into something that barely you can eat, but it was delicious. The best hotdog I've had in a long time.

First time eating here. Love the ambiance with bringing a little of Puerto Rico to ft. Walton. Food had so much flavor, perfect portion. Our servers were attentive. I will definitely be coming back in my next visit.

Service was great but what we ordered wasn't as great. Chicken didn't seem fresh or of good quality for what you paid for. The dipping sauces were both fantastic! You can tell the family takes pride in their restaurant and service was great!

Food was amazing, reminded me of a home cooked meal. Service was also on point, had a nice chat once I ordered my meal to learn more of the restaurant. Quiet ambiance which is always nice, might have been due to going on a weekday but didn't mind at all.

Such a good experience at Papi's Cafe & Grill!!! Visited with someone who is close with the business owners and I'm so thankful for their recommendation! This was the first time I tried Puerto Rican food, so I asked for a suggestion and got the mofongo with fried pork and broth (pictured). So tasty!!! The pork was delicious by itself, but paired with the plantain bowl and broth it was perfect. The parking lot is quaint but it seems like plenty of spots for the business. You walk in and there's a large picture menu on the left detailing all of their options. You order and pay before you eat and they give you a number to place on your table. The staff is so friendly and they take good care of their customers. This isn't a restaurant I would typically visit on my own, but maybe I need to change my outlook because I had such a great visit here. Thanks for the good food and good vibes!!

First time having Puerto Rican food and it didn't disappoint. I wish California had more Puerto Rican food available. Me and my friend checked out this place and he is Puerto Rican. Staff are very friendly and the restaurant was extremely clean. It's got plenty of places to park and eat inside. I tried out the beef empanada, and I was blown away, unlike anything I had tasted before. I decided to get the Tripeleta sandwich and I wish I could have it again. Full of flavor and left me very satisfied. YouTube recommended this place and they weren't wrong . Can't wait to visit again

This is a fun, lively, and welcoming restaurant. I ordered the snapper filet in garlic cream. The fish itself was excellent and a nice change to the everyday traditional food, but the cream was very, very heavy. My other piece of feedback to the restaurant is to stop using plastic forks and knives and disposable cups (especially on $20+ meals).

I went here after running into someone from Aguadilla telling me to come here and it did not disappoint. First, There is a decent amount of parking but it'll probably gets packed during busy hours. You order at the register and they give you a number for the table and they bring your food. All the staff was really friendly and food came out in a reasonable time. Lots of good choices for everyone to have, we ended up ordering churrasco, arroz con gandules, yucca, tostones, pastelillos. Pretty much the whole menu. I had the tembleque too which was delicious as well. You can't go wrong with anything you order.
