  I hadn’t been to Pappasito’s in at least 20 years (we live in another state) and made it a point to visit the next time we were in Houston. It did not disappoint. The margaritas were delicious, the service was outstanding and the dinner was quite tasty (stewed beef tacos and grilled shrimp tacos). To top it off, the manager comped our dessert because our drinks took a few extra minutes. We had the sopaipillas and they melted in our mouths. I hope to be back much sooner the next time.

  We're regulars here and the service is consistently going down hill. Dined out yesterday and our server disappeared for thirty minutes at a time. We had to get our own tortillas for our fajitas on two occasions, and the same for our water refills. Our drinks sat at the bar after made long enough to melt. To top it off, my friend left his raybans at the table and going back just a bit later, they were gone. No employee turned them in. (Our fault) Glad to see some competition opening across the freeway. 👏

  KIM!!! Whoever Kim is give her the keys to the program. I’m a big Auburn fan and at this point I’d let her coach my team idc if she doesn’t know anything about football she knows enough about good service and attention to detail that I am texting my oldmoney goons in Alabama and recommending her for the position 😁 🤘 🦅

  My husband and I visited Pappasito’s Cantina for the first time and sat at the bar. It was a moderately busy evening but not packed, but active. We ordered the Sizzling Beef Fajitas, which unfortunately didn’t live up to the name. The steak was overly salty, and the overall flavor was underwhelming. To make matters worse, our corn tortillas didn’t arrive until we were nearly finished eating. Service was inconsistent. We had to wave multiple times to get someone’s attention while sitting at the bar for drinks, which felt awkward and a bit frustrating. It wasn’t terrible, but it certainly wasn’t polished. That said, the manager was nice and understanding. After hearing our concerns, she kindly removed the dish from our bill, which we truly appreciated. That gesture alone elevated our experience and is the reason we’re giving 3 stars instead of 1. We may give it another try in the future, but we hope for a smoother experience next time.

  Pappasito’s is touch and go. The servers work so hard and I have never had a bad experience with service. But they get backed up with food and drinks. Again, not the fault of servers or bartenders. The drinks are food are amazing! Big issue with the atmosphere is the closeness of the tables. Barely any elbow room. No one should sit at a restaurant and be so close to another table that they hear conversations around them. Pappasito’s - please change this. I love your food so much! But I digress - get the queso! Get the Reserva Margarita! And I think it’s Wednesday nights for fajitas!
