    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

    Unfortunately, the food was a loser and I guess so were we being as though we gave this place a try. The meatballs tasted like a poorly done Costco meatball the croquette were like a deep-fried sponge and the beef on a steak had limited flavor and there was almost nothing there. The bread came with a ranch dip of some sorts. Never seen that in my life. Service is great ambience was good. Music was great will not be back.

    we were disappointed our server was overwhelmed (he probably had a lot of tables) he couldn’t remember he took our order and when he did take the order he took it incorrectly so they brought us out the incorrect paella. It took a long time for the paella to come out so we ate it anyways instead of sending it back for the correct one since we were so hungry and nothing was done to accommodate the mistake.

    Love sitting outside by the river. Flamenco show was beautiful. Come to Scottsdale every spring and never missing eating here. Two fave tapas dishes - adobo tenderloin on skewers and goat cheese stuffed mushroom.

    Everything we had was delicious. We ordered several orders of the chef's assorted tapas, which were great! It was nice to sample a bit of everything while it not feeling heavy. The bread and garlic sauce are delicious. The staff is very nice, helpful and attentive. There was live Cuban music when we were there, which was nice and added the ambiance. Arturo, our server, was especially helpful. He took great care of us.

    Slow service because it was crazy busy on a Saturday night. Great food and drinks! Loved the Flamenco dancers but be prepared for noise level.

    Tapas Papa Frita is and always has been one of Scottsdale’s best hidden gems. I’ve taken family, friends from out of town, local friends, business associates and I’ve never ever been disappointed. The food is always fantastic, the service is spectacular and the staff are all wonderful and a highlight of the entire experience. Saturday night flamenco is the cherry on top that makes the experience next level. Always one of the best nights out.
