I have been going to this neighborhood restaurant for 20 plus years as soon as this place opened up, became my favorite. But it all changed about 5 years ago. I used to come for business lunches, bring friends and family. What changed is the quality of food, and quantity both went down and prices went up which is understandable as food cost have gone up. This review is not as much as for public it is for the owners also. You order food, spend about $25-$30 for 1 person’s meal and all you get is one tiny salsa and food quality is very inconsistent. I had brought this to owner’s attention and their answer rudely is food cost have gone up. Here is the picture of my most recent order to go. This is 3 chicken enchiladas meal. From this point on I have decided to stop coming here, and found a better place to satisfy my Mexican food craving. Papi’s thank you for doing business with you. I prefer not to leave a negative review, but this was imp for me to let the owner and public know.

Not only did they ignore my fiance when she first went in and said hi, the girl at the front had poor customer service skills! the beans tasted like fish and gas. The rice was dry, the chile verde was flavorless but salty. The nacho dish was mostly gas/fish taste beans and burnt chips. This place went down hill

The photos for the wet burritos looked so good but tasted okay. The best thing out of the 3 was the pollo fries which were delicious.
We also grabbed a few margaritas which was a little too sour for my taste.
Overall great customer service and attentive staff.

We landed at Fresno airport and were headed to Yosemite and stopped here for lunch. There weren’t too many options in the area and this place had the best reviews of the food places in the shopping center. The food was actually very good, large portions, free chips and salsa, and the our server was also good. The worst part was all the flies flying around bc they have a big open window with outdoor bar seats that face into the restaurant. My husband and I shared the fajitas for two, which was really good. They only give 2 tortillas per person and there is a lot of meat so we asked for more tortillas and they charged $2.50 for extra tortillas, just fyi. My son got the chicken enchiladas and my daughter got the shredded beef burrito. Both were large and they said they were good. Would recommend.

Papi’s Mex Grill in Fresno, CA, is an absolute gem! My wife and I had an incredible dining experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with their chips and salsa, which were fresh and flavorful—perfectly setting the tone for the meal. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home.
I ordered the Enchilada Suiza de Camarón (shrimp), served with rice and beans, and it was a total delight—rich, savory, and cooked to perfection. My wife went for the Southwest Shrimp Salad, which was equally delicious, with a great balance of flavors and fresh ingredients. We also got to try their spicy dark red salsa—you have to ask for it, but trust me, it’s worth it! It added a fantastic kick to the meal.
The interior is spotless and beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bar caught my eye too—it looks like the perfect spot to unwind with a drink. Papi’s Mex Grill is a must-visit if you’re in Fresno. We’ll definitely be back!
Enjoy!

I had the queso birria tacos as well as a watermelon margarita and the spicy cucumber margarita both of which were great. I went with tajin on the rim. Would stop by again!
I did give a four star reading because my sister had the Chileno and both she and my mother stated that there was not very much flavor to it, I didn’t taste it. My food was great, but she also did the fried jalapeños and those were a little bit too hard for my taste.

I generally like this place, good food with friendly service. Unfortunately, I don’t like their green sauce which is unfortunate being everything else was good! The enchiladas (verdes) pork was really good & would order that anytime!
All in all: Good food, friendly service & good atmosphere.

Had some street tacos and drinks here. I like their vibe. They have a great variety of alcohol. Their mixed drinks are prime level. The chips and salsa are delicious. Service is fantastic. They offer heaters in outdoor area. I do recommend getting a reservation, Can get busy at times.

Authentic to the max. Delicious food all the way. The simple tortilla and heartwarming salsa is to die for. The staff takes pride in their job and are so inviting and eager to recommend options. Restrooms are immaculate…. Tremendous plus for me. Beautiful artwork through out the establishment. The crowed that frequents also contribute to the great experience. I

Heard about poppies through a friend, and stopped in for the all-day happy hour on Sunday. We rode our bikes across town 9 miles, it wasn’t bad at all. The happy hour specials are great, great beer specials micheladas specials spicy Coronas with the shrimp. We tried the wings and the Pollo tacos. But we will be back to try the state quesadilla and others! We sat at the bar and still got great service even though they were very busy! Thanks again!
