Dios mío, ¡Que rica la comida! The food was delicious, and the servings size was so much. I’m a big fella and I did not finish my food. I had the pernil con arroz y gandulees with maduros and an alcapurria. Washed it down with some cola champán. I’m definitely coming to eat here on my next trip to Destin. Yes this restaurant is not in Destin but close enough that is worth the drive. Heck, I’d come here even if I am visiting Pensacola or Panama City. That’s how good the food was. La comida estaba brutal. Haz de cuenta que estaba comiendo en la isla. Muchas gracias muchachos. Excelente trabajo. My recommendation to Papi and crew would be get some cola champagne, India brand, add to the dessert pastelitos de guayaba con queso, and don’t forget the pastel con catsup to make it complete. Excelente trabajo mis hermanos.

This food made me miss living on the island, arguably the best Puerto Rican food I’ve ever had. Churrasco was so juicy and tender, arroz on habichuelas were 10/10 and the vibe of the restaurant was fantastic, I felt like I was back on the island. My family is boricua and I have never had better PR food in the states than at papi’s. TAN RICO PAPI

We had the tripleta sandwich and the pernil plate with yellow rice and beans plus fried yuca. It was all excellent! The cilantro sauce is amazing, put it on everything. They’ve got a great outdoor area in addition to a lot of space inside. Unassuming from the outside but a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner. Can’t wait to come back for mofongo next time!

I really like this restaurant. The food is really good and the staff is nice and friendly. I've been here twice. They actually didn't put my order in the first time so I didn't get my food until we had to go say something to them about it. I only got the chance to taste my food because I had to get it to go. They gave me a flan for the inconvenience. I ordered a chicken empanada, fried pork chops with rice and beans the first time and fried chicken, rice and beans and a chicken empanada the second time. There's a variety of food to choose from and they even have a small little buffet at the register where you can get food right away.

We used to have a location for Puerto Rican food. It sadly closed down. We decided to venture out to FWB to try Papi's Cafe & Grill. We were not disappointed in the slightest. Food was great, authentic, and flavorful. They have a kids menu as well. I recommend 10/10
