" Had a terrible experience recently. We waited over 30 minutes for a drink order and our food took even longer. The tacos I ordered were bland and not what I expected for a place known for their tacos. The décor is nice, but the service really left us disappointed. I can't say that I'd recommend this place based on my recent visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always loved this little gem! Their brunch is a must-try; the flavors are unique and delicious, especially the taco benedict. However, the service can sometimes be lacking, especially on weekends when they're busier. All in all, it's a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a disappointing experience at Papi Gordo's last week. Our food took forever to arrive, and the tacos were subpar. Too much cheese really overpowered the actual flavors of the filling. Service was inattentive. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn't recommend it based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Papi Gordo's is a real find! The atmosphere is colorful and fun, perfect for a night out with friends. The food overall was truly scrumptious! I really enjoyed the flavors in my tacos, but I felt that they could have been a little bit more generous with the sides. Nonetheless, I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at Papi Gordo's. The food was decent—especially enjoyed the steak taco—but the service could definitely use improvement. We felt largely ignored after our initial orders were taken. While the ambiance is inviting, it was quite loud during our dinner. Overall, I would consider visiting again, but I hope the service is better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! Each dish we've ordered has been flavorful and beautifully presented. The birria tacos were a highlight for us. The only drawback was that it took a while to get our orders during peak hours. Still, I would highly recommend Papi Gordo's to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a charming little place! The birria tacos are simply delightful—some of the best I've had. The staff was friendly, and the cocktails were top-notch. The only downside was the noise level, as it got quite busy. But I would not hesitate to recommend Papi Gordo's to anyone seeking flavorful Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
