San Mateo Restaurant Guide

James and Anna Sanchez have been the proud ownersof Papagayo since 1998. The husband and wife team pride themselves on serving the freshest and tastiest Mexican food in San Mateo. Their little hideaway is conveniently located just off of Highway 92 and 280, within the Crystal Springs Shopping Center.

Jim enjoys a hands-on approach to the needs of a family run business. He makes all purchases for the restaurant to ensure quality and selection.

Papagayo is known for its NO LARD policy, quality meats, and organic greens in creating each savory dish. With daily homemade sauces and drinks made from fresh fruit, it's no wonder Papagayo is a local gem. All meals are made fresh to order so feel free to call your order in ahead of time or enjoy the short wait with some chips and salsa. We value your business and look forward to serving you real soon!
