Papagayo has what seems to me to be a more authentic Mexican food experience than you'd get at most places in Hamilton and the service here was friendly and all the food we got here was fresh. They have some very tender calamari and a range of interesting Mexican options. However I felt the price was a bit high and it turns out I'm not very into Mexican food. But I think people who are would like it.
The flavour is amazing and the portions are a good size. A favourite is the Rellenos Mexico with Chorizo as the meat choice. The decor is splendid and getting a jar of water on the table is a bonus. Very friendly staff make it a pleasant experience to take loved ones and family.
Papagayo is one of our favourite restaurants in Hamilton. This brightly coloured little spot off of King Street is a Mexican fiesta of flavours. The food is made with fresh ingredients and tastes wonderful. Authentic. Flavourful. Filling. Freshly squeezed lime margaritas and their take on bocadillos are our favourite. The staff is great as well.
The food was good and our server was very nice but I had to change my order twice because they were out of certain ingredients. I didn't see many spicy options on the menu either but all-in-all I enjoyed it there.
This restaurant deserves a visit, especially if you like Mexican food with flavour and aren't fixated on the spicy aspect. I ordered the combination platter, complete with two seperate burritos that are fused together. The chorizo burrito was particularly good, but it really could have done with some spices, or at least with some table options to add a kick to the meal (for me the spicier the better, so I was a bit dissappointed). The service was excellent, very friendly and prompt. Portions were average. Expect to pay about $25-35 per person with drinks. (Free) Parking is scarce so if your driving here keep that in mind.
This place was amazingly good considering that my brother hadn't been in something like 17 years.
The decor was charming. The food and service were good. The margaritas were great!
Good food, seems very authentic. Large portions. Staff was friendly, service good.
First time here and I enjoyed it. The decor definitely takes you back in a Spanish villa. The food was delicious, especially the home made tortilla chips and salsa. I was satisfied dining there!Good ingredients and tortilla quality great. You can book and order ahead if you're on a tight time schedule for lunch. Service was friendly and obliging. We had a fun dash-from-work group lunch here.
