    owner with our desert!
    Diane P.

    In Huntsville due to vehicle issues. Stayed next door from the restaurant. We are from Houston and there is not a restaurant that even comes close to Papa Lacho's. The staff is top notch, service excellent. The owner is out on the floor and working along side his people. But when it comes to the food nothing in Houston compares to this restaurant. Food is authentic. And not bland tex-mex for the pallet. This is going to be a once a month on a weekend trip for awesome food and great Mango Margarita and skinny mezcal margaritas. Zebra Krew approves!!!! Lucky our bartender was amazing he is here Thursday thru Saturday. Make the best skinny mezcal margaritas . You all will love this restaurant. ENJOY!!

    We have wanted to try this restaurant since moving to Huntsville several months ago as i am a big fan of texmex and I need to find a good restaurant in the area to frequent. The restaurant ambiance is very nice and appears very clean and inviting. We were seated right away and our friendly waitress attended to us quickly. Complimentary chips and salsa were good with green and red salsa both tasty. I had the El Tejano combo meal and my wife chose the seafood enchiladas (shrimp and crawfish). My El Tejano had beef fajitas with a cheese enchilada and a ground beef crispy taco with rice and beans. The fajitas were delicious, the enchilada was good, the taco was a bit soft but tasty. Rice and refried beans were acceptable. My wife's seafood enchiladas had an odd flavor perhaps overcooked crawfish? At any rate it was an enjoyable meal and I will return again. Cost was reasonable.

    Some top notch Tex Mex in Huntsville. Ordered fajita tacos and a combo plate. Everything was fresh and delicious. The ambiance is also very festive. Overall, a great option on 45

    4 stars, why? Craving some Tex-Mex food? Look no further, Papa Lachos is a new restaurant in Huntsville. They have great deals on margaritas (happy hour anyone?) and are conveniently located right of I-45. Pros Customer service: Very friendly and quick! It took 30 seconds from us entering the restaurant to sitting down at a table. Our waiter wasted no time taking our drink order and bringing that delicious white queso. Edgar was diligent, funny and on top of his game. Food: This place used to be "Mama Juanita's" but was bought out by Papa Lachos very recently. So this was a new place to try and they did not fail. I ordered the beef fijitas (super tender and seasoned just right). Enchiladas Mexicana and Birria tacos were delicious. Location: I love that it's right off the feeder of I-45. You can whip in for a quick lunch or dinner and get back on the road. Cons Lighting: I know they're new and getting this adjusted as they go but the lighting in this place almost makes you want to go to sleep after you eat lol. It was a little hard to see the menu with all the neon lights. I would recommend installing a handful of recess or can lights and it'll make the world of difference. Space: This building is just not suited for large parties (10 or more). If you're in the area stop by Papa Lachos

    The food is amazing here and the entire staff is super friendly. Just starting eating here a few months ago, but it has been outstanding every time. Highly recommended.

    What went well?? Well let's start off by the atmosphere! It's super festive lit up and clean! All of the staff is super attentive, the food was delicious and the alcoholic beverages are strong and delicious as well. We were in town camping at Huntsville state park and visited this place twice! Anytime we come this way we will be more than happy to stop here. :)

    Oh my goodness one of the best poblano mixed meat - steak and chicken - that I have ever had! Also had the ceviche - I'll pass on that next time. Great service 1 liked the salsa too! Will go back next time in town!

    See all

    Not good. Don't waste your time. Not very clean. Food actually is terrible. One look and not for me, save your money,
