    We always have a great experience at "Papas Tapas" and last evening was no exception. It was our third "anniversary of "meeting" and actually had dinner at "Papas Tapa" with a mutual friend, so it holds a special place. Our server, Arturo - who we have had before and hope to have again - was amazing. Such h a consummate professional with a n engaging wry sense of humor. Arturo was aware that I love the sole entree - which has been replaced by Sea Bass. While that would have been fine, Chef Manuel specially prepared the sole just for me!!! The Cuban jazz band is first class and between the incredible Flamenco shows Friday and Saturday night and the Cuban Jazz Band Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, we have many reasons to continue returning to "Papas Tapas" - clearly one of our most favorite restaurants in Scottsdale . . . .

    A tasty Spanish meal. Has flavors is Spain and enjoy the diverse menu. I believe it’s one of the best Spanish food in the Valley. With food costs going up the value isn’t quite what it used to be and some of the flavor has dropped a bit. Still a great place to go, but showing some of the effects of higher food costs.

    This place has probably enjoyed a steady customer base becaue of it's location and steady influx of tourists. But it would surely struggle if it had to win loyal customers on the merits of its food or decor - neither of which are good quality. We were dissapointed by furinture which was not comfortable or intimate (in the case of a romantic evening for two. The food was presented on run-of-the-mill tableware. The Paella was dry and not rich in falvors that one would expect from this cuisine. The Tapas wers average. I will not be going back or recommend this place to friends.

    I like this restaurant. I come at 3 pm for some food before dinner. Lobster soup is amazing. Shrimp is my favorite. Rice is okay. Really want to come again
