Papa's Mexican Cafe - Mena

The food was delicious, but unfortunately, multiple plates had food that was not hot enough.

It took a really long time to get the food to our table. Over 45 minutes. When the food finally got to us, the plates were so hot we couldn't touch them. In my mind that is dangerous for the wait staff and customers to handle extremely hot plates. Some people like to move the plates instead of moving the food. The queso is quite terrible! Tastes like it came from a can. Salsa is super thin, almost like flavored tomato soup! And the guacamole is flavorless. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful, definitely not their fault. The business also doesn't welcome veterans all that well either.

Damn good Mexican food, very reasonably priced. When ever we are in this area, this is one of our go to places for food.

No! I've been a customer here since they opened years and years ago, and tonight was my LAST VISIT! The food was horrible! Nothing worse than COLD Mexican food! And it was cold. The queso was watered down. So we're the beans. Nothing that included cheese as an ingredient had melted cheese!The ONLY edible thing I ordered was guacamole salad! When I paid the bill, which I SHOULDN'T have, the girl asked me how it was...I said.. it was horrible She said NOTHING! JUST SHRUGGED.Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!

We really love Papa's Mexican Cafe. You can eat Mexican or American food. Great staff !
