Papagayo offers a brunch buffet and an a la carte menu. I went with the a la carte menu and the chilaquiles ($9). The portion is generous and the dish was delicious: poached chicken, baked corn tortilla casserole, sunny side up eggs, chihuahua cheese and tres chili salsa.

The carne asada con huevos ($13) was a popular menu item at our table. It’s on my list for next time: Marinated and grilled skirt steak, scrambled eggs, salsa verde, chili dusted home fries, guacamole and pico de gallo.

So let’s talk about the karaoke. There were definitely some serious contenders here – people could sing. But don’t be nervous, you don’t have to be the next American Idol to get up and sing – if you’re nervous, try singing with some friends! And yes, this group did sing for their brunch!

Parking is a little sticky in this area. There is street parking and there are pay lots near by (I paid about $16 for 2 hours). Try and take public transportation or an Uber if you can.

Papagayo is offering some great specials:

Superbowl promotion:

All diners at any of the Papagayo locations will receive all their food for free if the patriot’s win on game day (February 1st, 2015)! The only catch is they must purchase a beverage and they must be there at kick off. Reservations are  also mandatory for operational staffing. And even if the Pat’s don’t win (GASP!), guests will get 50% off of their food bill.

Valentine’s Day specials:

Couples can look forward to authentic specials in addition to the regular menu which features dishes like, Roasted Salmon Fillet with Chipotle Miso Glaze, Poblano-Potato Gratin, and Seared Greens ($16.95) and Short Ribs Ancho Chili Glaze, Shiitake Mushroom Chips, Cotija and Mashed Potato ($18.95). Paired with a great bottle of wine, or an award-winning cocktail makes the perfect Valentine’s Day date night!

Singles looking to make it a night out with friends will revel in amazing shared appetizers like Ostiones En Fuego – Fire Roasted Island Creek Oysters Baby Spinach, Oaxaca Cheese, Roasted Peppers and Crumbled Chorizo ($14.95), Flautas with slow-cooked beef, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and Queso Anejo ($8.95), or their special “Fill Your Face with Love Nachos”–  featuring fresh house made tortilla chips smothered in cheese, black beans, lettuce, tomatoes and jalapeños, served with salsa, sour cream and hand-hacked guacamole for ($10.95). Add beef, chicken or pork for an additional $3. Or lobster for $7.
