My absolute favorite restaurant for Tex-Mex. it is a special occasion visit.. but the price is worth it. Dinner begins with fresh salsa and delicious queso with added fajita beef. Any dish with shrimp and their butter sauce is heavenly. I often order beef fajitas with the brochette shrimp and split it with one or two people! The portions are huge! I crave this place constantly. read more

The best flour tortilla, fajitas, and margaritas! I thoroughly enjoyed the Plato del Padre feast

I was so surprised how good the fajitas were..... absolutely enjoyed our dinner. The salsa was very tasty and warm chips were fantastic. Our server was a "hoot", talked a hundred miles an hour, but was one of the best server I've ever had. Only issue, very odd and unpleasant smell in the restaurant. read more

Food and margaritas are great , but the service is terrible, It took about 30 minutes to bring us water!

Short wait time for a Saturday evening. Our server, was attentive and prompt. The food was made in a timely manner and was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection! read more

The food is always great don't get me wrong. We went here last month for valentine's day and it also happened to be our due date for our baby girl. We were heading to the hospital after dinner since we got pushed on the appointment. The place has a small dinner room in the back and it was so hot in the you could see people fanning themselves uncomfortably. I asked the manager to move us before my gf went into labor do to the heat and he did but it was still so hot in the front. Restrooms were like a freezer nearly. Long story short Pappasitos sent my girlfriend into labor and she didn't have to be induced. So thank you? No thank you? idk but fix your damn AC! read more

I'd be back. I popped in here on a trip to TX a few months back on a recommendation. Friendly faces welcomed me in and I sat at the bar and promptly ordered the Platinum Margarita - mmmmm, Patron :) For dinner, I had the Spicy Chipotle Chicken (chick, pico, japs, onions, Monterey Jack and a chipotle sauce). It was spicey gooey yumminess! A nice spice, but not hot hot. Over all the vibe was good and the bartender was attentive. I would be back! Wish we had them in Colorado! read more

I love their bacon wrapped shrimp, margaritas, chips and salsa, table side guacamole and soups. OK, I'll eat practically anything there...and know it's going to be delicious. My latest love is their Tres Leches cake - get it and thank me after the first bite! Why don't they have Pappasito's in Michigan, dang it all?! Always busy. Pretty packed for both lunch and dinner., but tons of waiters and runners. Parking lot is huge. Really good chain. read more

I was going to try this place out today and had the worst first impression. The hostess asked us for our name and number in our party which was only 2 people at 2:45 pm. She said she would need 10 minutes to get us a clean table. 4 minutes later a 6 top walks in and they are seated immediately. The hostess realizes that I saw this and comes over to say that they still do not have any small tables but they did have a 6 top available. Then about a minute later she has her sidekick hostess seat is and as we are walking to the far back corner of the restaurant we pass by 4- 4 top tables and 2- booths that can seat 2-4 people. We are seated in a booth against a wall in the far back. Really?, what was the purpose of making us wait and lying to us? I guess we don't care to eat your food then. We chose to leave and not stay. In the future, management, I would hire better up front staff and teach your hostesses better customer service skills. I will Never return. read more

This is your typical tex-mex place from the decor to the food. They are known for their margaritas and have a good happy hour list (in the bar only). If I had to choose Mexican for dinner, I wouldn't think of this place first. But I do love the occasional happy hour here. read more

Great service and great food. I went during lunch time and the servers were on point. The fish taco and beef enchilada plate on the lunch menu was a good choice. I will definitely come here again sometime. I liked the salsa and sweet tea too. read more

My husband and I decided to try it for date night. We ordered the sampler appetizer. Tamales and queso were bomb. For dinner we ordered the beef fajita, jalapeño cheese sausage, and diablo shrimp. Everything was wonderful including the sweet tea and homemade tortillas. My husband only wished they had asked what type of beans he wanted. He was assuming they would be refried and was surprised when they were regular beans. Service was good and they were super busy. read more

This place is nice to get some good food. A little bit expensive. As I arrived there is good parking in the back of the establishment. They are right off the service road of 75. Looking inside the atmosphere has a great family friendly feel. Great for big parties. They also have a bar to left when entering with Tv's. I ordered the Plato de delmar. It's was pretty good. The plate consist of chicken, tortilla, pick de Gallo, sour cream and cheese. As for the side they had rice and beans. I forgot the plate had grilled shrimp. The plate was delicious and savory. I would recommend coming here. Some waiters may seem busy and that is because they are. So be patient and conversate with family and friends. Great place to unwind and let some laughter out. read more

Pappasito's Cantina - Outside back parking lot. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Richardson, Texas

It has been probably 15 years since I had been to a Papasito's, and I was looking forward to getting back. I used to spend a lot of time in the Dallas area, and loved all of the Papa's restaurants including Papadeaux, Papas Steakhous and Papsidos. However, I was not blown away tonight. The server recommended the beef fajitas as their specialty, so I tried them with Shrimp and a Jalepeno Sausage. Quite frankly the beef was the least appetizing on the plate. It was chewy and didn't have much flavor. The shrimp and sausage were very good though. Margarita tasted good, but way too much salt on the rim. Overall, it w as s an ok meal, but not worth $50 for a single plate and house margarita. My guess is there is better texmex in the area. read more

Who doesn't love Pappasito's? Good quality, best tortilla chips of any restaurant around. Always recommend for dining in and takeout. BUT - when did they raise the prices?! My favorite - beef tacos al carbon - is now the price of a halfway-decent steakhouse steak. Priced out of my budget based solely on principle. They appear to have raised the prices on just about everything. Come on, guys. You're far better than El Fenix, but keep the prices a little more reasonable. With these prices, it's no longer a regular on our list - it's become a treat for special occasions. One star off for cost. read more

The food was wonderful, but our waitress was beyond what we have seen in a long time! Seloma was the ultimate "read out minds", anticipate our needs and make you feel welcome person you should request! I would rather go to p extra miles for het than around the corner for convenience! Our evening was blessed by an angel waitress! read more

Something about this restaurant has definitely changed. Service was great but $25 for cheese enchiladas for lunch, food was microwaved, just terrible for this price, I won't be back. read more

Don't order an appetizer, unless you intend for it to be your entree. The portion sizes here are ridiculous! The chips here are very light, which I like. I'd say this is average quality Mexican food from what I've had in the area. Some would say it's Americanized, but I like to lump all Mexican food in the US in the same category anyways. Prices aren't bad and from the looks of it, some of the drinks can be pretty generous during happy hour. read more

I come here most Saturday's and order the fajitas. The fajitas are so good and it's a lot of food. I tried the watermelon margarita last time I was here and it tasted horrible. It was very sour and didn't taste like watermelon at all. I will be back for the fajitas. read more

Get at least theeeee Meltdown margaritas. I said four because they are soooo delicious. Then, challenge the man sitting directly across from you (no, not the old guy! The dude who keeps staring at your date) to eat the whole jalapeño pepper garnishing their entree. Nibbles are not acceptable. read more

Good Tex-Mex food. would give a 3.5 but yelp won't let me. We got the family sized fajitas with a side of ribs. There was plenty of food for the 6 of us and no one left hungry. Beef fajitas were good had a bit of a char taste but were tender and had plenty of flavor. Was not a fan of the ribs. I don't think this place has a need to sell ribs. Overall I had a good experience and wouldn't mind going back. read more

I have to say I was seated here and then forgotten about for 20 minutes or so when I flagged down a waitress. WTF. After reading the other reviews, I assume it isn't normal for this to happen. The food here was decent and the margaritas were tasty. I think it is a bit overpriced, but oh well. read more

The fajitas were some of the best I have had in the Dallas area. The chicken fajitas were not dry and the beef ones were not rubbery at all - both were seasoned really well and had great flavor. Service was great too, really appreciate our server. read more

The food and service is excellent. Our waiter, Antonio was super delightful and made sure that we were taken care of.

Moses was amazing. Dayanna also came by the table to check on us. My wife and I shared the Salmon and actually the best I have ever had. The experience was worth every bit of the price. We will be back next week. Moses. Thanks again. read more

I visited this location on a Sunday afternoon after my sons football practice and it was jam packed! We were seated pretty quickly which was surprising because we did come at a very busy time but were seated promptly. When we were seated we were greeted by our waitress, who seemed very nervous as if it were first day. But we ignored the awkwardness and went about ordering our appetizer which was the chili con caso and the waitress asked us specifically if we wanted ground beef and we asked the difference between the meats that were added into it and we chose just the normal ground beef, with a side sour cream and a side of guacamole. When our order came out it was just normal cheese caso, and we ended up being charged for table side guacamole and really just received a plate of guacamole for $10. Annoyed at the fact that we didn't get what we ordered we placed our entree orders, and when we received our food my sister order was incorrect once again. Instead of receiving cilantro lime rice they sent her Spanish rice and when they brought out the correct rice it was ice cold. Like they literally pulled it out from the refrigerator. When we received our bill we noticed the incorrect charges that were charged for our appetizer, and sides but at this point we were ready to go after being there for almost 3hours. The food was good, but just a lot of unnecessary mistakes were made when putting in our order multiple times. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for years, every time I come back to Texas to visit. I went last week, right off the plane. Chips and salsa were still really good. They stopped making the guacamole table side. The chicken fajitas were just a grilled chicken breast on a fajita plate, not even hot. They only gave three tortillas with the fajitas. So disappointed! read more

So after ordering my waiter decided that we were not good enough to be served another margarita because she perceived us to be having more than we should have. However we were in an emotional discussion of an adopted child now meeting her sister for the first time and because of this emotional display we could not order yet another beverage. Upon asking the waitress who is probably 17 to analyze the situation and take into consideration. The unique moment. She was soooooooo disrespectful. I can't come back!!! read more

I ordered the Pappasito's salad with salmon. The new, limited menu described lettuce, tortilla strips, avocado, red onions and tomato. I received about 1 1/2 cups lettuce, and six small squares of mango on top of the free, full sized chips that come with the salsa (not strips) in the photo below. After I pulled the mound of chips from under the lettuce, the entire meal could have fit on a teacup saucer. $23.00. So disappointing. After a ten hour work day, I just ate it. I know it is COVID but at least ask me if I want my menu items substituted. I won't be back. read more

Love the chips and queso and the chicken fajitas here. The chicken has great flavor. Heads up though that fajitas cost more than the average tex-mex joint ($20 compared to $13), but my wife and I think it's worth it. The frozen margaritas are normally good and strong but last time they were super limey. Chalking that up to a fluke though. One of my buddies loves the shrimp fajitas where the shrimp are wrapped in bacon. read more

Probably the worse food i had in a long time, I had it before here and wasn't too bad but today's was the worse. I came around at 4:30pm and we order family fajitas... enchiladas and chips and kids corn dog. Everything was cold and old. They must have given us the last bit of lunch food that was over made. Even chips and salsa was terrible. It tasted like grease. They cooked the French fries in the dirty oil they used for chips cause I can taste it. There just trying to get rid of whatever leftover they had! Couldn't even finish my food! read more

I can't believe I'm writing this review but I had the most disappointing dinner here in over 30 years. I know Covid was hard on the restaurants but nothing is the same here. No more table side guac. What they gave me could not even be doctored up. The tortillas were hard around the edges. The shrimp tasted fishy. The only veggie on the Fajita platter was onion. The chicken was good. Beans had a totally different taste. Needless to say. We won't be back, which makes me so sad. Our waiter was great though, so there's that read more
