  Yesterday was my second visit to this place, I'm still disappointed with the food 😔, the Paella Valenciana had very POOR quality. I hope they can hire a Spanish Chef or someone with knowledge and experience about Spanish food. The dessert Crema Catalina was delicious, the live music with Arroz con Mango band was amazing

  One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in a long long time. Our party of four ordered 12 different tapas and there wasn’t a single one that disappointed. Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful when selecting a bottle of wine. The chef/owner, Joseph, was an incredibly nice guy who came out and spoke with us during our meal. He and his brother (who was also cooking) have an impressive amount of combined experience in the kitchen and they hand pick all of their ingredients and it shows. Each dish was well thought out and played beautifully. If you’re visiting Scottsdale and don’t visit this place, you’re missing out!

  If you are in the Old Scottsdale Az area and want a unique dining experience with some authentic Spanish cusine I highly recommend Tapas Papa Frita. We had a variety of Tapas and none of them disappointed every dish was a flavorful experience the service was out standing and chef Gutierrez and his team puts out an amazing dining experience . Coming fro PA when we come back to Scottsdale, Tapas Papa Frita is on our list for a revisit. Thanks Chef Gutierrez and your entire staff for a wonderful evening and a very memorable dining experience. 10 out of 10!!!!

  Took my out-of-town guests to this restaurant and sat on the patio, overlooking the canal. The food was fantastic and my guests were very impressed. There was a great Cuban band playing on the patio and my guests were very happy with the evening. I personally recommend this restaurant for anyone who would like to have a great culinary and cultural experience in Scottsdale.

  The patio was enjoyable and so was the music. The owner saved the night. I think it was an off night for the place or at least for our table. Octopus overcooked, burnt, sent back. Tuna and watermelon were good, serving size was small. Each of us had two bites. Then a long wait for paella that arrived different than ordered due to allergens, includes peas and peppers as garnish that are not listed. Drinks, even water, were not refilled without several requests. The owner piled on the deserts and apologies and laughs. 3 pieces of plantain for $20 is wild.
