Papagayo West St

I haven't been back in a while, but I love the free chips and salsa. Plus they refill it. The serving sizes are huge and it's pretty standard, since the food was exactly like the Papagayo in Somerville. I always order the same thing. Sometimes it does take a while to get service. The bar area can get pretty loud sometimes too, so it all depends on when you go. The bathroom is actually a long walk and it has some creepy drawings outside.

This location has two floors and is one of the few places with decent Mexican food in the area. Since it's large, the wait isn't too long. They also bring out chips after ordering so that's always nice. The chips are fresh and pretty good. I got the cauliflower tacos here and liked it but you can definitely feel the oil on the chips and entrees, but that's what I was in the mood for and enjoyed it.

I tried their food through the food truck they have on Drydock Ave on Wednesdays. I had the chicken soup, the chips and salsa, and the side salad. That chili lime vinaigrette they have is amazing. Really took the salad to another level. Chips and salsa were nice and fresh. Soup was good. However, the customer service is lacking. They also didn’t have soup cups for the soup.

Friendly and super fast — but perhaps too fast. The food came out within minutes of ordering, which was great but it was then cleared up super fast too. If you need a quick meal this is a GREAT option (tasty, well priced, friendly). Although we were not rushed out, if you want to spend hours at a restaurant, this may not fit the bill. Otherwise, worth trying!

Not very far from my work place, we decided to go to a Mexican place and this was our choice. We went at peak hour, so it was kind of packed but there was some place to fit us. When we entered in a guy came to ask for how many people like almost every place, then he took us to our table, not too much waiting, maybe a couple of minutes. The place is nice, tables are made from wood and there are both benches and chairs. After we sat down, we got the menu very fast, and after taking a look at the drinks we order some Modelo tap beers, they weren't very strong but I liked them. As appetizers we ordered some nachos with guacamole and salsa, as having the combo was more expensive ( maybe the size was bigger ), but it was more than enough to try them. Both salsa and guacamole were good, dipping nachos inside them was perfect to wait for the main dish. we didn't know the difference between burrito and enchilada, so we asked the waiter for that and he kindly explained it to us. I ordered a beef enchilada, but my friend ordered a burrito. The size is pretty big, with rice, beans, cheese and lettuce as sidedish. Service was attentive, so before finishing our drinks they asked if we need something more.

Surprised by how much I enjoyed this place. Arrived around 5, not busy at all. Had a fun, energetic server who made the experience very pleasant. Shared a side of guac and 2 fish tacos between 2 people and it was perfect if you had a late lunch and need some light dinner. Pineapple cocktail was nice and refreshing. Fish taco was surprisingly good. Added some hot sauce for added kick. One gripe: chips are very fried, very crunchy and had visual oil residue. Really affected how much I enjoyed the salsa and guac. Would go back.
