for the love of god, frankie! relax! 
listen, all opinions about restaurants are based on internal feeling. some will like rustic decor, i would thing is looks old and dated. some will like to have the food accompanied by bachata, i would get up to kill the DJ with a butter knife. some like their garlic sauce creamy, i say cream? gtfo, make it all garlic! some will praise pasta dishes, i would say no way, makes me bloated. some will leave after their longaniza dish full and happy, i will leave with a case of stomach bug.
however: the size is not subjective, unless you are looking at the reflection of your own arse in a new dress: it is always too big for you and always too small for your hubby.
i have never been to papi's, i admit. miesposo says they used to rock but after new owners came in he could not bother to visit (he used to live in cabarete). but we go out quite often, to the same places. the dishes are consistently the same size, all all times. if it says two chuletas it will be two chuletas: they may both be ok size or one may be bigger and other smaller. but at the end of the day i get the same amount of chuletas.
since you are comparing: in my country there is something called SANEPID. they are a sanitary control of food establishments. they also control portion sizes and the drinks. they often come up with cheap vodka being put in a bottle of more expensive one. hey, barman pours 50ml from belvedere bottle but in reality it is just absolwent (nasty vodka, you don't want to know). people cheat everywhere.
now, since i am dv8 i will agree with you on some accounts people do constantly complain about the most stupid s**t. i used to work in a pub in london. we sold food too. there was this dude coming EVERY SINGLE DAY, eating the same thing all the time: steak, medium rare. EVERY SINGLE TIME he sent it back to the kitchen saying there was something he did not like. sure there was not! i have seen a chef wipe his ass with this dude's steak, drop it on the floor, in a rubbish bin and so on. and every single time dude sent it up we did nothing to the steak. just send it down few minutes later. it was ok then.
some people, i swear....
