Pappasito's Cantina, a Tex-Mex favorite, has been voted Number One Mexican Restaurant repeatedly in publications across Texas. Pappasito's is famous for Texas-size portions of sizzling fajitas, margaritas and some of the best chips and salsa north of the Rio Grande! We always have great specials at Pappasito's - visit our website to see our current offers http://www.pappasitos.com.
It was ok. When I went the service was sort of bad. I could not believe the wait to get the food. The food was great though. I wouldn't recommend it for a family, but I would recommend this for a business meeting.

With all the Mexican restaurants in Houston, I fail to see the appeal of the Pappasitos Mexican restaurants. I suppose if you like rather bland Tex Mex it's ok, but if you like genuine mexican food or even FLAVORFUL tex mex, look elsewhere. These places remind me of the type of "mexican" fare I found in Utah and Maine and other places with few good mexican restaurants.
PROS: um..everybody thinks they're popular?
CONS: bland food, bland experience

Yummy Fajitas!!!
by howdyhouston
The Fajitas are great!!! The service there is good, but not excellent. I think the marg's are a little over priced, but over all it is a good place to go and enjoy some very good fajitas and company!
Pros: Quality of food and drinks
Cons: slightly over priced, and there is always a wait

great atmosphere
by ZReviewer
Not the greatest host staff ever, but it'll do... The atmosphere is very nice, the bar drinks are well done, the food is good, however the guacamole was a bit fermented, I hated the jalopeno juice in it. I had quails, and they were exceptionally GREAT. Best quail I had anywhere.
Will definitely be back and bring people.
Pros: good food, good atmosphere
Cons: no parking, hostesses, a bit expensive

GREAT Customer Service!
by paigecpony
We've eaten at this location a couple times and the food is great, as expected. But what really made me happy was the experience we had when ordering takeout. We ordered two salads, and my boyfriend drove over, picked them up, and returned home. We discovered that neither of our salad dressings had been included (and when all you order is salad, this is a pretty big oversight). We called and explained the situation, expecting to be given a small discount or a free dessert on our next visit. The manager, I think her name was Holly, actually voided the credit card payment and gave us our meal for free. Totally unexpected, and we felt the situation had been more than rectified. Now *that* is how you manage a restaurant! We went from swearing them off forever to liking them even more than before.
Pros: Fajitas, Margaritas, Service
Cons: Parking

Best tortilla soup ever!
by verychumpy
We know the fajitas are great, but have you ever tried the tortilla soup? It's almost like a Mexican vegetable soup; it's full of chunks of green chiles, tomatoes, carrots, squash, avacados (yum!), and pico de gallo, plus huge chunks of their fabulous chicken fajita meat, all in a tasty, spicy broth (w/ crispy tortilla strips on top, of course). It's so great I get it for dinner (take-out) like every week!
Pros: great tortilla soup!, great chips and salsa, great fajitas
Cons: noisy atmosphere, crowded parking lot, some items expensive

best fajitas in town
by josiemaranfan2002
If you want fajitas, then this is the place to be. The prices are a little higher but the meat is much more tender and flavorful!
