Pappasito's Cantina

WOW. Just wow. We lucked out this evening. I'll be quick on the food because although it was delightful, the real reason for writing this is the service we received Our waitress Jennifer and her manager Beth were beyond stellar, totally made my husband and my evening!! Jennifer was attentive, considerate, anticipated our needs, was a wonderful conversationalist who had us laughing and talking like with a close friend. She helped me create a margarita to scratch my taste itch and was perfect with her recommendations. Literallt handeled each of her 6 or so tables like each was her only one. She only works there Fridays so please ask for her if you go then, you will thank yourself honestly. Beth joined us towards the end of the evening and was kind and authentic in all of her questions and recalled person details that Jennifer had relayed to her so she could ask us about our evening. That to me is so WOW for customer service. Totally blown out of the water for a date night and I would come back for these two alone in a heartbeat. On the food: At the recommendation (and off menu creation) of Jennifer, i had a spicy mango margaritas that was a perfect balance of spicy and sweet without being cloying and I could have downed it in a gulp if I allowed myself. We had the chips and chili con queso with beef fajitas for starters: Chips were warm, fresh, light and salted well - the queso was only noteworthy because of the beef which was melt in your mouth. Hubby and I both had the Tulum combo and the tortilla for the taco was airy and addictive, chicken was a little dry but seasoned well and the enchilada was cheesy goodness. Tres leches for dessert and I wish I could eat the whole cake it was cut from. Wet without being sopping, cinnamon and vanilla notes were lovely and the strawberries were crisp and sweet 😋 A long-winded way to say EAT HERE PLEASE, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

It’s not a complete trip back home if we don’t stop at one of the Pappa’s restaurants and what better choice than Tex-Mex!! We get the mixed platter because it has something for everyone. Beef & chicken fajitas, bacon wrapped shrimp & quail with all the sides. Excellent service and atmosphere! The quality of the food is top notch! Our friends ask us where to go for great Mexican food when visiting Texas and our answer is you have to go to Pappasito’s 😉

It was my first time here, and it hopefully will not be my last. The service was above and beyond, thanks Jessica, food was soooo good, and it was just the right noise level to talk but not be overheard. Bar service was quick also, with smiling staff. One of the servers even danced along to the music, adding to the overall feel of a happy environment. Best birthday celebration ever.

It's been quite some time since I've been to Pappasitos it did not disappoint one bit! The fajitas here are some of the best you can get in Houston. Cooking meats is something that I enjoy and if you know meats you can tell they use quality beef. I'm a fan of all the Pappas establishments and never have I been let down when dining with them. Hopefully this never changes!!

I was there today to attend one of my former colleagues retirement party. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful. All the servers were top notch. Uzi did a fantastic job, he was very attentive and very polite. It was my first time being here and his recommendations were on point. I had a really good time :)

Pappasito’s has been a consistently good place to eat. I take dates there to impress them. The food is absolutely wonderful. The crew treats you like a king with their remarkable service. The restaurant was not loud, or crowded. The price that I paid was worth the value that I received. I highly recommend the chain.
