El Cantina del Papagayos was opened in 1982 in Agua Fria. By June of 1983, the name and owners changed hands, and Papagayos was born. It was a very small restaurant, with only 11 tables, but very popular with locals and visitors alike. In 1994, the outside patio was added, which accommodated an additional 8 tables. The restaurant then stayed for 22 years at the location before moving to the Lake Arrowhead Village in 2005, where they took over the pavilion building, which is the only remaining building from the original village built in 1922.
