Comes hot2. Buffalo cauliflower - Salty and could be better but does have the buffalo flavor3. Steak - Delicious and good portionOverall, good place to try at least once!

We recently visited here for dinner with family from out of town and had a really great experience. First off, we had reservations for 5 (including a baby) and the restaurant was nice enough to accommodate our family's large stroller. Our server was super friendly and accommodating of our need for extra time to order/dine due to the baby and the fact that we haven't seen our family in years and so we may have taken a little longer to dine than most customers. My husband and I got the paella and an appetizer to share, along with some drinks. Everything was super tasty. The paella was very flavorful and had a good amount of seafood. We were full with what we got, but low key wished we ordered the larger size because it was that good. Drinks were very balanced and tasty per usual. We all ended our meal with the butter cake, which came with ice cream. A bit on the sweeter side for my taste, but definitely delicious and a great way to end our meal. We've been to Le Papagayo many times, but I want to say that this has been one of our best visits yet in terms of service and food. Will definitely be back in the future.

Came in around 5:20 and was seating excited to order happy hour. My go to is always the Papagayo margarita and Mussels. We were seated for 11 minutes before we were greeted by our server and asked if we could still get happy hour since we were seated prior. The server said no which while understandable we were still there and ready to order prior to HH ending. Only because the happy hour prices are not that different than their regular prices we decided to just say ok.That aside. The food and drinks are great! Margarita is strong and you get your moneys worth and the mussels are always great.

Came here to try this place out. We like to try different places to eat when we travel. Le Papagayo will not let you down. Yvette was our server very pleasant and attended to us. It nice to have your server pass by several times to see if you need anything else. Great music we sat outside it the covered patio area. Great view of the Bar and Village Dr. We ordered the Papagayo Dbl Cheeseburger. Wow great taste and will definitely be coming back here when we are in Carlsbad. Stop in you will not be dissatisfied.

My weekday lunch here with a coworker was a great first lunch experience. We were seated immediately on the patio, which was nice with ceiling fans and a breeze to offset the heat. Our server Sydney was friendly and attentive! I ordered an Arnold Palmer and the 2-taco plate, for which I chose the mahi mahi and shrimp tacos. Both were delicious and I got just enough chips on the side to feel satisfied. Until next time!

My boyfriend and I took my mom here after she mentioned this restaurant countless times over a long time period. This location is in downtown Carlsbad, and little known fact, is the old location of my beloved Blockbuster I grew up walking to as a kid. They do have a rather large parking lot, so this is a PLUS when visiting the downtown Carlsbad area. My mom still lives a block away, and was ecstatic to try it out! we went on a busy evening, but it definitely pays to make your reservations ahead of time. We were seated near the bar area at a booth, and there just happened to be live music that night. If you know there will be a live band the night you are going and plan to talk to each other throughout your dinner, I recommend asking for a location in the other side of the restaurant. We are talkers, and it was really hard to hear each other without raising our voices quite a bit. If you or someone in your party has sensory issues... also something to consider when choosing which area of the restaurant to sit in on these nights.Now, lets get to food! I uploaded photos of all the deliciousness... but hands down a great menu! food came out at a good pace given the busy night, and our waitress was very friendly. My mom is USUALLY not impressed when dining out, but she was very happy to meet her sandwich that night haha.The portions are great, taste is wonderful, and you will definitely have some leftovers to take home. I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the village- try it for yourself!

I went to this restaurant with one of my friends. Tuesdays are all day happy hour! Wine and beer is two dollars off and so are many appetizers. We ordered the Wahine salad, the papagayo salad, mahi fish tacos, and the calamari. Everything was fantastic! They also had live music. Their Carlsbad location Was very nice and high-end. With a very modern decor. It is also dog friendly on the patio. We had a great time and are looking forward to going again.

Food was delicious. A lot of different options to choose from. Service was great. Dessert was amazing!

The BLTA is very good and made up for my previous review on the breakfast. The service has not improved and took a very long time before anyone came out. We had to ask a busssboy for assistance and then a server was sent out to take our order. This was in excess of 15 minutes waiting. After server came and took everyone's order, service was satisfactory.

Caprese (burrata) sandwich with crispy fries. Nice patio vibes. Parking lot is tight. Nice service.
