The Best Mexican Food in Town for over 20 Years 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been eating here for decades and the food cannot be beat. It is consistently the best Mexican food in Houston. A recent reviewer states their marinade has change for the Fajitas, I haven't had them in a while so I hope not...as they are the best in town. I usually have cheese enchiladas or a shrimp dish. I have been to dozens of places around town but no one does Mexican food as good as this family does. Their flour tortillas are the best in town.

Pros: Great food consistently for over 20 years

Fajitas gone wrong - Changed marinade 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Pappasitos has changed their fajita marinade. These are not the fajitas we grew up eating for the last 24 years. What were they thinking? You don't change a good thing. Bring back the old marinade please.

Pros: Old fajita marinade
Cons: New fajita marinade

Quality food 4 Star Rating - Very good

I found the food here very good. I've seen the kitchen and it is kept very clean. The lunch rush packs the place, but that shouldn't discourage you from trying it out. Be sure to get a rita if you go at night. My food favorite is the beef fajitas.
