    Fajitas
    Nicki M.

    Tex Mex is basically a food group when in Houston area and Pappasito's is definitely worth a visit. The service is good and prompt. The vibe is always chill and laid back. The queso is delicious and fajitas are tender. If you like your beef a bit more done, be sure to request as it typically is served medium rare. I really love that the salsa is served warm- it's next level over typical cold salsa!

    I love the specials but usually stick to my regulars.

    I called to schedule our lunch gathering for coworkers. They were very accommodating for our party of 16. It was during the week and first thing in the morning. Kandra and Jonathan served us and did a wonderful job. I ordered chipotle shrimp, with double rice. Jonathan brought me a roasted jalapeño pepper which really helped kick up the flavor of the meal. I also got their mango and peach flavored tea. You have to ask for it and they will combine flavors. We ordered guacamole but I don't like the pepitas that they add. I always forget to exclude that. I love the chips that come with the guacamole but their other chips are delicious too. The queso with beef was a big hit. I had to force myself to stop so I would eat my meal. We were in and out in an hour and a half. I love the fact they seated us in the corner and out of the way of any crowds. The place was not busy yet and that was a plus.

    Came here for a friend's birthday and had a great time. Service was really nice and everything came out fast. I probably ate two baskets of chips myself and I didn't need any of the salsa or quac (which was great). My margarita was terrific and my shrimp quesadilla was gigantic! It really could have fed two people. The parking lot was completely full so we parked at the credit union next door (it was late on a Friday night so they were closed) so if you can't find a space, check there. This is a very popular location so make reservations if you can.

    This place is always packed and most of the time there is a waiting. However this time we were seated immediately despite alot of parties and graduations our service went well and the food came out fairly quick. The ambiance is casual nothing fancy however if your looking for a place to host a group this place definitely accommodates. The only downside I would say is that they are a little pricey. However this was our second time and we enjoyed it.

    Fajita Wednesday Special
    Daniella L.

    Truly the best pappasitos i've ever been to! Our server Desiree went above and beyond and was extremely attentive. From the moment we walked in we were immediately seated and taken care of. The entire team was so sweet throughout our visit. The whole atmosphere is great from the get go. Our food came out quickly and was not only completely filling, but delicious. The meat is always so flavorful and tender, and cooked to perfection! The floor manager Jade also came out to check on us and our experience. She helped me with getting exactly what we wanted when she truly did not have to! I was beyond happy and thankful for the service. Jade and Desiree you really made my day with this visit! It meant so much to me and thank you for your impeccable service! Wednesdays are usually our favorite time to visit for the amazing Fajitas, but now it's a must!

    Great food! The salsa is awesome, you can tell they make it fresh! Yum. Drinks are strong. Staff very friendly. They were playing guitars live while we ate. Make sure to get a reservation so you don't have to wait.

    Filet and shrimp stuffed with crabcake fajitas
    Kamron A.

    Service was solid and very attentive! The queso with grilled beef it was excellent and also got the filet and stuff shrimp with crabcake fajitas were absolutely delicious! Steak was cooked to perfection for medium rare and the shrimp and crab cake stuffing was very large and delicious!

    High quality food, huge portions, and great customer service make this place stand out. If you visit, I highly recommend the quail. You heard me, QUAIL. Everything is seasoned perfectly and it comes with 2 of them. Our party enjoyed sitting in the back portion of the restaurant where it was a little easier to hear each other talk, but there's so much space, you can find something more lively if you prefer that too.

    If I would have rated this place my first time here two years ago, it would have barely received…read moretwo stars. This time was a completely different experience. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Eric and seated. He sat us in a private cozy nook but we asked to move to the booths with tv viewing access. Eric took the time to explain the menu and offered his suggestions. He greeted and checked on everyone. As he spoke to people, he would thank them for coming back and converse as if he was speaking to old friends. The customer service was superb. My husband ordered a michelada with Michelob Ultra. He said it was a few degrees shy of having ice in it, who doesn't love a cold beer! For dinner we ordered the gumbo with sausage, red beans and rice, and the twin lobster rolls. The gumbo had a dark roux. It was decent but the spice level was a bit much for me. After about four bites, my husband took over. He enjoyed it. Next was the red beans and rice with sausage. The flavor was good. My only complaint was the sausage pieces were too big for one bite. Lastly was the twin lobster rolls with Cajun fries. The fries were crispy and I'd compare them to Charlie's. The roll had generous portions of delicious lobster. We chose a hot roll but they do serve it cold if you prefer. The basket is served with a 2 oz helping of melted butter for you to drizzle on your rolls. The flat top rolls were buttery, soft, and grilled to perfection. Overall, we enjoyed them but they were missing just a touch of something, maybe a spice, I can't pinpoint it. I would definitely get them again though! The food was all hot and fresh. I overheard Eric telling another customer they don't have heat lamps and everything is brought out as soon as it comes off the stove. The location is in the center of booming shopping centers. This is a great lunch or dinner spot that welcomes casual family friendly dining. I'm glad we returned, we will be back.

    We went early around 1130-Midday so there wasn't much of a crowd. We sat and had waiters come ask…read moreus for our order. My drink took won't say forever but it did take a while. I just kept seeing the staff behind the bar and thinking Oh here it comes and it never did. Drink tbh was not the best. Food also took a while to come out. Idk if it's because we went around lunch but again the place was empty. I got softshell crabs I should've read it a bit more but it definitely needs a piece of bread.Basket came with fries and they were not that good.Everything was definitely lacking seasoning. Friend got red beans and rice with his Catfish basket. Idk if they're meant to taste like that but to me they(beans)had a burnt taste to them. He also mentioned how he only got 1 piece of catfish. Usually baskets come with 2 or more and was surprised since my basket did come with 2 crabs. IDK it's one of those places you want to like since the area doesn't have many seafood places but won't be coming back.
