    The food and atmosphere are always a hit here. We brought family from out of town. I should have booked the Fireplace tables on the patio, but other than that, the evening was flawless. The salsa was delicious, tacos and burgers equally so. Walking to the car, you could smell the ocean on a perfect San Diego, winter night. They got us in and out in plenty of time to make our Lightscape, time slot!

    We love Le Papagayo normally. The food & service were still great but we made a reservation to meet a family & couldn’t hear each other due to the live band. We should have left instead of enduring 2 hours of super loud music. You should warn people when they make a reservation.

    OMG1 of all the food was just amazing. The service was so and spot on and then the music all from the 70s and 80s was nonstop. Fantastic at some point everyone was singing together to Brown eyed girl by Van Morrison. What an amazing night.
