My husband and I stopped in for some drink and ordered some margaritas, chips and queso, and a couple of shots... as I'm sipping my margarita, I noticed something was floating around in my glass, and when I took a closer look it was a small roach. A ROACH!!!!! I called the waiter back over and showed him, and his reaction was very uninterested and nonchalant. He asked me "Would you like me to remake it for you?" ... UMMM SIR, REMAKE IT?! My husband asked him "isn't it going to come out of the same machine?" Like what in the world?! We just left.

Tonight was a massive Shrimp cocktail with a side of rice instead of chips, which was still good by the way. My waitress did not miss a beat kept water filled since this was after a workout meal. Jammed packed with shrimp, pico, avocado, and rice. Only complaint was it was game night and football wasn't on. Great date nights, anniversary, or just some happy food.

They have really good cheese dip.. probably the best in Hattiesburg. The food is ok but the service in the cleanliness at the restaurant is very lacking. I feel like they really need to work on cleaning the place and work on having faster and more efficient service.

As soon as we walked through the door there was an employee sprawled out on a booth and he screamed out. Mind you this is our first impression of this restaurant. We get sat at our table where the booth seats were covered in tortilla chip crumbs. That alone made a statement for itself but we choice to stay because we hoped our service would make up for the dirty table. Then we’re sent out our waitress who at first was nice. She got our drinks but upon returning she was to focused flirting with the boy who had been laying on the booth to take our order. One person in our party had to repeat their order 3 times before she understood what our person was ordering. She kept looking our at the boy, talking, and giggling while actively trying to take our order. I had to wait 5+ minutes before she finally finished taking my friends order which was three chimichangas and Mexican rice. Literally that’s it. After that my other friend and I ordered. About 20 minutes later in an empty restaurant, we were literally the only people there, we got our food. Our food was lukewarm not even hot. Then they messed up one order and had to take it back. All of our drinks were empty by the time we got our food and had been empty since about 5 minutes after we originally sat down. Our waitress was very scatterbrained and distracted. She never once looked over to check on us not to mention we’re in an empty restaurant. Any time we’d go to ask for a refill she would run off and ignore us calling her. After we finished eating I asked for to go boxes and tried flagging her down twice. The boy from the beginning even called her and she whipped around with a big smile for him. That same boy was staring at us for the entirety of our meal. This made us very uncomfortable considering he should be working not staring at people while on the clock. Once she came back she had to go cups not plates for our empty cups and full plates. Then she asked us did you say to go cups or to go plates? We said plates. She brought us our plates and our ticket. Needless to say she did not receive a tip. The only enjoyable part was the young man who seated us and took our money. The host. He was respectful, kind, and helpful. He had a great attitude and even offered us bags for our togo plates and put our stuff in the bags for us. - November 12, 2023

One of the few Mexican restaurants that actually serve Plablano peppers.Wheelchair accessibility: Like most little strip malls go there's generally just 1 handicap ramp for all the stores. So when this happens you just park a little bit away from the front door but it's not bad
Just spent 30 something dollars for a Togo order and it wasn't even made right. Didn't even get the cheese dip I ordered. One of the shrimp tacos didnt even have shrimp in them and no cheese or anything that the menu said came on it!! I'm very disappointed and honestly surprised cause I have never had this experience before going to papitos. Will definitely use the 49 location from now on

Buyer Beware.I ordered takeout from this restaurant today around 3:30 P.M. I chose it in part because of reviews I read that said they were great with dietary restrictions. I made it clear that I had allergies to flour tortillas. I had to be this specific, because the young waiter taking the order didnt understand what a gluten allergy meant. I specified with the flour tortillas, and I requested an allergen warning to be put on my food. I ordered my child a taco a la carte. They were unable to do that. So, I got him a kids meal, even though nothing else but the taco would be eaten by the child. I requested no lettuce. It was incorporated into the taco with the melted cheese. That was less of a problem to me. Mistakes happen in a kitchen.I ordered a Carne Asada and Enchiladas Verde, as well. The Enchiladas Verde I ordered with bean instead of chicken for a vegetarian meal, and I verified 3 times before the end of the order that the Enchiladas would be coming in corn tortillas, due to the allergy. I warned about the cross-contamination danger and verified again that the allergen warning be on the order for the kitchen, a common practice in a restaurant. I also requested that raw veggies be added atop the Enchiladas such as onion, tomato, and lettuce. This is a pregnancy craving that I have been having, which was our main reason for ordering this meal today. I picked the order up a little before 4:00, and headed home through weekend traffic across town. When I unpacked the food at home at 4:45, I discovered that my Enchiladas were not in the bag. I called the restaurant, and they said that they were there in the kitchen. Please come pick them up. My husband went to get them for me, returning at 6 P.M., after driving there and back again. When he returned, and gave me the Enchiladas I had ordered 2 1/2 hours before, I cut info them and found they were wrapped in flour tortillas, and that the toppings had been left off altogether. I immediately called the restaurant. I asked if they had been wrapped in flour tortillas. The to go waiter realized his mistake immediately and asked me to come back again to get new Enchiladas. I told him that I could not now due to time constraints. He said he didn't know what to do and that a manager would call me back shortly. A manager never did call me back. I paid a considerable price for this meal, and only one of three people in my household was able to eat it. The Carne Asada was also reportedly unappetizing and dry. I could let everything else go except for the flour tortillas wrapping up the food on the meal with the allergen warning for the flour tortillas. That coupled with the fact that it took more than two hours to "complete" the order, and that they requested I return a third time for mishandled food, with no management communication whatsoever makes this somewhere that I can never eat again. It is also somewhere that I would NEVER suggest that anyone with any dietary restrictions should eat. Steer clear, There are plenty of other restaurants in town.Dietary restrictions: I would NOT suggest this restaurant to anyone with dietary restrictions!
Food is normally great, as well as service, but last night our waitress "Bri" messed up one of our orders (shrimp fajita quesadilla), she brought out a chicken quesadilla and was extremely rude about us telling her that's not what was ordered, extremely politely might I add. She then proceeded to still bring out the wrong thing again, a shrimp quesadilla instead of fajita quesadilla. On top of all of this, they have always closed at 11 pm (it even states it on here and on google) and we ordered another marg at 9:30 and she comes around at 9:45 saying she couldn't make it now because they close at 10. We just gave up at this point, finished our food and asked for our ticket. The person who had ordered the shrimp fajita quesadilla mentioned that she didn't want to be charged for that and only for a basic shrimp quesadilla (which is what she got instead of what she asked for) and our waitress threw up her hands and said "I'll take accountability and get your ticket" in a very rude and loud tone... basically yelled at us about it throwing her hands in the air all angrily. She never came back around and we had to get another worker to fix our ticket because she didn't fix anything and actually charged us for a chicken quesadilla plus a shrimp fajita quesadilla. Will not be eating here again. Shitty experience.

Normally this place is good but it really let me down recently. The waiter was super sweet and was very attentive. The food was the problem. I ordered a taco salad and instead of shredded cheese, the accidentally put shredded soap on top. I was a little upset they still charged me for it even after I sent it back and told them I didn’t want another one.

There food has definitely gone down hill. Grilled chicken dried out, beef taco was not good, my chicken taco was bland. Cheese dip was ok. Salsa was ok to me but not my son. Definitely won't be back. Service had a few problems with our meals but was solved easily.Kid-friendliness: was very nice too my kids

Waiter just disappeared, never refilled drinks or checked on us at all. He didn't even bring our checks. When we complained every employee showed zero concern. We were told we just need to pay and leave. Between the food and drinks we each spent $30 with piss poor service. Won't be back.
