Reviews for Papi's Cuban & Caribbean Grill in Atlanta, GA

I can't say if the food is authentic or not, but I can say that I what I ordered, Papi's Bowl or something like that, was really... good. I've had other dishes there that were really good as well. My only complaint is the place is small and they cantaccomodate large parties. There were only 10 of us and we had to be seated between 2 boiths and a table. And the service wasslow. Friendly, but really slow. Read more

I wasn’t going to leave a bad review. I prefer to call restaurants and give my feedback instead of bashing a small business -... but then I got home and have the worst stomach pain. The food sucks. Lechon/pernil/pork was under cooked. Rice stale andcrunchy. Chef - the energy you have when you cook transfers to the patrons. Please remember that. The onions weren’t even cutwith care. Salad looks like it was thrown onto a plate out of a bag. Worst cuban food I ever had Read more

The best Cuban sandwich I have ever eaten! The empenadas were very fresh make sure you ask for the Papi sauce! Warm, inviting... service, and you could tell this place is a community favorite. If you are exploring downtown Atlanta, Papi's is a must! Read more

This was my first time at this establishment. We ordered an empanada tray. That was delicious! The jerk chicken sandwich was... really good! I rate it 4 stars because it took me almost one hour to find parking! Overall, I would definitely visit again,however, I’ll probably catch an Uber next time! ???? Read more

Service is friendly and great location. Parking can be tough but we got Lucky and found a spot right away. Food is ok at best.... My Vaca frita was a over condimented. The Platano Maduro was not fried all the way through. Yellow rice was just ok. Mywife's Lechón asado was more of a stew. We ordered tostones and didn't get them, so it dropped this experience to 2 stars. Read more

Very delicious Cuban food. This taste really authentic and we had a variety of things. The appetizers are amazing. Delicious... empanadas. Read more

We've loved Papis for years, but we've been relegated to take out during the pandemic. I stopped ordering through take out... services (e.g. Doordash) because they always seemed to forget part of my order (particularly drinks) when I ordered from thatparticular restaurant, and I'd have to spend 30 minutes on the phone with the company trying the get a credit. When I realizedthe Krog Street location was now open, we were thrilled so I placed an online order last night. I was surprised to get a textand email pretty quickly confirming that my order was ready for pickup, but we decided to head over anyway. When we got there myhusband said the front desk person first said he didn't have an order under my name, then told him it would be ready in "2minutes" (again, we received confirmation that it was ready BEFORE we left home). 10 minutes later, he got our food. The biggestshock though was opening the entree containers. They smashed all the foods together (rice, beans, meat, maduros, sauce, whatappears to be pico de gallo) so it looked like an absolute mess (please see pics). I didn't even want a sauce, but the onlineservice forces you to pick one. I've never in my life seen a restaurant mix a side sauce into your food (and not serve it on theside). Our kids wouldn't eat any of it (for obvious reasons). I was absolutely shocked they would serve food this way. I'veordered takeout from Papis MANY times. Entrees are always served in the multi section type containers so each item is separate.Beans are always served in a separate container with their natural juice. I've never seen anything like this - it's not anappetizing presentation to say the least so beware if you order from the new KSM location. I suspect it's only happening thereand hopefully they will correct these issues as the food is usually quite good. I will continue to support them on the rateoccasion when I can trek to Ponce/Myrtle in person, but the KSM location has some serious issues. Read more

Food was generally delicious, especially the beef. Maduros overcooked and not as caramelized/sweet as preferred. Server... delivered coffee spilled all over plate. Tostones and green sauce amazing. Very kind service and beautiful decor. Art all overthe walls. Drink menu not updated to reflect new pricing but server disclosed that. Busy place with 20 minute wait. Read more
