This will absolutely be on my routine-o-restaurants in the future. I visited with three other adults and three kids. We had two servers that checked in often and even if something was forgotten, they happily would return with whatever we needed. They were patient with our loud table and the service was fast. I couldn't even understand the prices. It was something like $1.50 for a side of guacamole...say what?! It was a small side but in Chicago I'd pay $4 for it. I ordered the chimichangas, which included TWO chimichangas, and a plate overflowing with beans & rice. I loved that the chimi's were mini, instead of one huge one. Much easier for bringing home (which one of us did). Other orders included chicken enchiladas, quesadillas and steak fajitas. Everything received good reviews on the food quality. When I return to Mena, I'll absolutely be visiting Papa's again!

A colleague and I were passing through and both really really loving Mexican cuisine decided on…read morePapa's. SHOULD HAVE WENT TO TACO BELL!!!!! The salsa was delivered in the tiniest condiments containers- ok, strange but ok. Chips were not stale- so ok. The salsa was red- thats as far as I go with calling this salsa. A can of Rotel would have been way better. Young kids would have liked this, I guess, very insipid. We each ordered Fajita Chicken Chimichangas, rice and beans came on the platter as well. The chicken had zero seasoning- couldn't see or taste any salt, pepper, or any seasoning mix at all, it was just boiled chicken. It even had the just boiled chicken taste- IYKYK. The chimichangas were not fried in the least- they were just rolled up tortillas, boiled chicken with no seasoning mix, no onions, no peppers, no flavor. We ordered queso on too not red sauce- thank goodness- it was the only flavor for the entire meal. The beans could have been great had they been maybe black beans- La Costena brand is a thousand times better than the bland plain canned refried beans we received. The rice was the same. We looked for corn, red seasoning flakes- none! We both said immediately- THERE ARE NO MEXICANS IN THIS KITCHEN! Wow! Can not believe this place is in business. But given the small area, lack of dining- ok. The exterior and interior were nice. The , also insipid, waitresses were sweeping, folding napkins and waitress duties. Our waitress was Virginia, friendliest one we encountered. She brought me 1 drink, wish I had known to conserve it because she never offered us more. The other wait staff looked as we smiled, but non smiled or spoke back to either of us. The young man taking our $25 was very indifferent as well. All in all- we left the restaurant and area very shocked. Most Mexican restaurants in Arkansas being sisters to Texas- are very good. We honestly have never in our lives had such poor Mexican food.

Some guys were smoking so that wasn't an option. The lady at the window told me they had regular tacos for $2.50 and mini street tacos for $1.25. I chose mini tacos 2 of each. Carnitas, barbacoa, ground beef, & chicken. From the. Reviews I thought I couldn't go wrong. But that wasn't the case. Or maybe I'm just to Texan to think OK knows how Mexican food should taste. But one thing is for sure. If Seasoning is off then it doesn't matter what you make. And today the carnitas and ground beef had way to much salt. I had to throw away. The chicken was dry. The barbacoa tasted like regular shredded Carne, not the fatty delicious of cheek and tongue. 3 stars for the service and the salsa.. salsa had flavor but not spicy..

Unfortunately, you can miss this place as I did when I was walking and had to turn back. I wish their sign was a little bit bigger. This place was turned from an old gasoline station to a restaurant which is cool. I ordered the chinquellas. I did not get any meat on it as I knew coming in it was going to be very hearty and it was very hot that day. You also get free chips and salsa. The chips was not stale and salsa was good. I did not eat the whole plate as I was waiting for my meal. The service was amazing and I did over tip them as they kept on refilling my water. I ended up leaving my hat there that I bought, but I came back an hour later and they held it for me in case I came back. Overall I would recommend this place.
