El Papagayo - Carmichael

First time here! The restaurant is pretty inside and the staff are very friendly. The mango salsa is incredible. My bf ordered the chicken tostada, which was a generous serving. The tostada shell was light and flaky and he loved it. I ordered the sopes with carnitas. The carnitas were tender and juicy. The sopes had a sauce that had a little kick to it, which I liked. Definitely not your ordinary Mexican food (and I'm Mexican, so I know what I'm talking about). Had a frozen magonada that was delicious. Can't wait to try the mole!

I went to a vegan tamale-making class and they shared their delicious secrets on making amazing tamales. They have a vegan menu in the restaurant. This is such a huge plus to go to a nice place, with great customer service and eat great food.

Their vegan food was great, however one of our dishes was much better than the other. We ordered their vegan taquitos (amazing! and their vegan burrito (subpar . We suspect they might be under new ownership as some things tasted different compared to before COVID. Their margaritas were delicious as well! We definitely will be returning here and trying out their other dishes and hoping for the best!

I actually went to the vegan pop up Crazy Rabbit vegan cuisine and it was fabulous. Even the salad dressing was homemade. I will be back. Thanks for the great food and service.

This was the first time I had been to El Papagayo Restaurant. That have a mango salsa that was really good. I ordered the shrimp super wet burrito and it was big for two people I highly recommend this place. I like the atmosphere. Old people are very nice. Places very clean. And I like the salsa bar many different kinds of salsa. I give them five stars .
