I haven't cleared my plate in a restaurant in quite a while, but the food here was too good not to. Authentic Mexican food with keto, vegetarian & clean food options is rare. I dined in, but the wait time was less than 10 minutes. I wish there were more healthy and affordable options like this place in the Midwest. Such a cute place!

This spot is absolutely clutch after a workout. Me and my girl come here on the regular for smoothies—sometimes with protein, sometimes without—and they always hit. Super fresh, packed with flavor, and you can tell they use quality ingredients (you can literally see the bananas and pineapples stacked up behind the counter like they just got delivered). They’ve got amazing breakfast and lunch options too—avocado toast, crepes, sandwiches… all fire. Food comes out looking like it’s ready for a photoshoot and tastes even better. The place itself is super clean, with good vibes, dope decor, and friendly staff who actually seem to care. It’s bright, welcoming, and never too crowded when we come through. Whether you’re pulling up post-gym or just want a legit, healthy meal or smoothie, La Papaya Deli is where it’s at. One of those hidden gems that deserves way more hype.

Unique healthy spot that serves a variety of smoothie and juice options, sandwiches, wraps, bagels, omelettes, and espresso. The hulk smoothie was amazing in flavor. They also offer dairy free options for beverages as well as protein smoothies. Has outdoor seating that’s beautifully decorated as well as indoor seating. The staff is kind and helpful. I would come back here again when I am back in Vegas.

The food was good. The price was decent. The smoothie was better than the sandwich. Opportunities for improvement are, wait time for food was longer than I expected, the smoothie was out very quick. The atmosphere is excellent with the detailed decor. The service was excellent, you can tell the staff is well trained and care about providing quality service. I plan to be back.

Upon walking in, the ambience is very unique. Somewhat Chipotle meets a Carneceria meets Your favorite Smoothie spot. I had the Greek Salad and Health Nut Smoothie, and when the food arrives, the plating(served on solid dinner plates) is very impressive and you can tell there is love and care put into each hefty serving. The service was incredible and the staff was even TOO nice and continued to thank me for coming in, over and over and over, and I appreciated that. Stop in and enjoy some delicious Mexican inspired health conscious choices!
