"Papi's was recommended by a stranger on the beach. We saw the menu and let me say they have the best ALLERGY FRIENDLY, including GLUTEN and DAIRY FREE menu! (See, I sent a picture to my MIL-Bc, which she hates onions! You will understand when you see the menu! So, my beast and I went to dinner, and fortunately we did it early, so there was no waiting time. We were sitting at the front door. I, the observer I am, noticed the total occupancy is 39 persons max. Note: It is a very packed, narrow restaurant. Don't be afraid to be comfortable! I also noticed there were 3 levels. Level 1: Dining area, Level 2: more dining area, Level 3: Terrace bar! And then there are tables outside for some more food. You also have bar seats. Through tables and a high top weave the toilet room on the first level. Let's talk about food! The chips and guacamole were great! The chips are made in the house and with corn, so definitely gluten free! I highly recommend it. If you like salt, these crispy chips are just right! My friend and I ordered the sesame meerrot tunaco. I ordered my gluten-free, she ordered her without special requests. The size was not too big, in fact, they were the perfect size, especially if you will order more than one. (I recommend!) I take a bite and I am super distracted by the crowd of people who come in, I did not notice that my taco was on a flour tortilla. I'll pick up the taco for a second bite and recognize what I did right away. I let the server know that the Taco was on a flour tortilla when I hurried into the toilet room. I wasn't mad at me. I'm so careful! The people who watched me were so distracted. The server said there were more toilets upstairs, but then a gentleman just left the toilet room in time. Let me say the GM and the servers were AMAZING and so KIND. They apologized and said they caught the mistake. I felt terrible because I caught the mistake. Some might argue that it is their task to ensure that food comes as ordered, but chefs, chefs, servers, GMs are all people. The GM took care of everything that was very friendly. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDS this restaurant for gluten free, milk-free people!"

"I was excited to try this spot after living here my whole life and having never tried it. family was in town from out of state and we thought this the perfect spot to catch up. The drinks were decent and the food was pretty good.... with the exception of the fried green tomatoes that were extremely soggy. My biggest complaint is the pitcher and saucer set up the have in the back dining room by the water. I don't know if there are similar set ups around the restaurant but this was my experience. It is completely unhygienic! They keep them directly behind guests where hair and anything else can get in them/touch them. I didn't notice the set up until one of the servers grabbed the pitcher and I felt a wet smack on my back where my hair had been IN it and proceeded to fall on the saucer plates. We told them what happened and they changed out the water and tried to put it back. I said no, this is unhygienic and is going to happen again. Surely I can't be the first person this has happened with. Another server ended up sneaking the pitcher back to which they yanked my hair when grabbing it. I ended up putting the salt shaker on top of the plates to keep them from putting it there. (pictured so you can see just how close it was. Next to me on the other side of the aisle we noticed a similar situation where a man kept taking his hat off and brushing his head or stretching his arms back onto the saucers and pitcher behind him. For this alone I'll never go back and highly recommend you too visit elsewhere.even for the quality of food there are much better places to spend your money at in Charleston. If this is what they do in the dining room, I can only imagine what codes they are breaking in the kitchen."
