I’m totally biased. I’ve had their Superior dinner for some two decades. With its excellent shredded chicken enchiladas topped with ranchero sauce, tacos all carbon with fresh salsa, hand-thrown pork tamale with a mole-like sauce and charo beans. They used to an optional Chile Relleno, but who had room to eat it. While they have many great items on their menu, I can’t get past this excellent platter of food. Everything works together so well.
The service and the food was GREAT!!! The young lady would was our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. We never went with an empty glass. I will be coming back.
Great mexican food
Always good - salsa is like no other place. Never had a bad meal. They have a special on fajitas on Wednesday nights.
If the outside looks genuinely Mexican, then the inside and food will blow you away. Authentic to the core the decor and food will transport you to a different place. IT CAN GET BUSY VERY QUICKLY and can get loud inside, but if you must wait, it is worth it. The food is a TAD EXPENSIVE, but is amazing. Fantastically Mexican, everything on the menu is tasty. Also, chips, which explains itself without description. The service is great, but when it gets busy the waiter will be dividing his attention between many tables. But don’t pass this place up if going by. The atmosphere, dishes, and serviced is something to enjoy.
Amazing Food and a Great Time for 50 People
We needed a place for 50 people to have dinner together. They have a great private room. You pay in advance and they serve platters of food family style. Plenty of food for everyone, great variety and the food was delicious!
On my trip to Houston I loved Pappasito's. Good food, good service, good place, not expensive. I am a fan of Mexican food, specially quesdilhas. Recomend!
We always hit up Papasitos Cantina when we are in Houston. It is the highlight of our trip. The bacon wrapped jalapeño stuffed prawns are deadly good! The nachos are the bomb. The fajitas are my husbands favorite.
Nice atmosphere, delicious Mexican, lots of seafood options. Huge portions.
Good food! The Tacos were fantastic along with the sauté veggies...mmmmm
Best bartenders in town! Great fish tacos and the avocado dip are to die for...
• Atmosphere: my personal opinion is that the tables are just too close together. If you can sit in the back room, do that. They are group tables but much more space is between them. The place is beautiful and it is fun to see them making tortillas.
• Service: this can vary depending on how busy they are and who the waiter is. We have had both excellent experiences and disappointing ones so be prepared either way.
• Food: The beef fajitas are a standout here. I have never been disappointed by the quality, quantity, flavor or tenderness. The rice and beans are standard and nothing special. The cheese dip is very good. The lunch portions are a perfect size and should be considered to save you some money.
• Price: very expensive, be prepared to spend lots of money
• Overall this is hands down the best fajitas in town
I’m new to the area and don’t go out much. I decided to treat myself yesterday to some quesadillas. I sat at the bar and was helped by this guy name Alexus! It was the best experience I have ever had. He was very attentive to me and there had to be 100 plus people at the bar. He gave me his honest opinion on things and made my overall experience here amazing! Thank you thank you thank you
This place was packed!!! Deservedly so!!!
The salsa comes to the table warmed and smoky flavored -as if it was made over an open pit fire under the stars. We feasted on the FRESH guacamole- wow!!
The wait staff - Billie, our great server absolutely kept her cool with style during the Friday night howls in the distance for more chips!!
She was great. And then - hold on to your specialty margarita…. There’s Luis - the manager on the floor. What an amazing ambassador for the Pappas brand.
Grilled lamb chops and tomatillo avocado salsa?? What!? Heavenly.
Texas redfish with grilled shrimp… don’t wait one more minute to spoil yourself. Ambrosial.
Make this special place part of your weekly escape from mediocrity. You won’t regret it. ♥️
Even with a full parking lot there's always seating available. Customer service is perfect. Destiny was very fun and entertaining enjoyed her.Lam meat was delicious and the presentation was great.
Excellent tex-mex food. They are very popular so sadly, service can be slow at times and the atmosphere a bit loud. Expect a wait almost every day, so booking ahead on their website is recommended.
I don’t typically eat at chain restaurants but met a group here. The service was great and the Plato Del Mar was pretty good. Someone ordered a salad and was the last to get their food. The drawn butter makes everything better.
It's just so loud! The food is great, and our server was awesome. But trying to talk to my table mates was impossible!
Excellent food and ambiance. I am in love with their cheese enchiladas. Also, the wave cocktail which is a frozen margarita swirled with sangria is so good! I’m definitely going to look up and see where there are other locations of this restaurant!
Service was excellent our server was upstanding, friendly courteous and on top of the game. I'll update her name when I remember.
We got chicken and beef fajitas prepared at the right term, super tender and flavor was delicious.
Highly recommended. Don't forget to try their special Margarita on the Rocks.
Sorry no picture on this one, were too hungry 😉
We went to celebrate with a friend who was visiting from out of town. Our server was phenomenal, made excellent recommendations for our large group and had a wonderful personality, we enjoyed her taking care of us! Everything was fresh, well cooked, and delicious. Despite it being a busy Saturday at lunch time, our food arrived quickly and exactly as ordered. We had a wonderful experience and will absolutely continue to go to Pappasitos!
