I had an extremely uncomfortable and upsetting experience at this restaurant due to a server named Shiloh. From the moment he approached my table, he kept flirting with me and repeatedly asked for my phone number—even after I clearly said no multiple times.

I was dining alone, and the way he kept pushing made me feel vulnerable, disrespected, and honestly disgusted. No customer should ever feel cornered or unsafe by an employee while just trying to eat in peace.

I ended up leaving early because I couldn’t relax or enjoy my meal. This behavior is completely unprofessional, and I’m posting this so management takes this seriously. Guests should feel protected and comfortable here—not targeted.

Came here last night, it was about 9 o’clock close to closing, we seated right away. Our server came to the table within one minute of us being seated. We ordered our drinks, a queso and our food which all came out quickly. Everything tasted delicious per usual. Our drink drinks came out quickly and were made to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely get the queso. Try a margarita. I suggest mango. And order the beef fajita steak! It’s so good here and they cook it to perfection.

My mom and I come here often for fajita Wednesday, but today Pierre made our experience so much better than all of our other visits. She was kind and attentive. Even the manger Leslie came by to check on our table and the quality of our service. The food was fresh and seasoned well! When you come ask for Pierre!

We stopped in for an early dinner. It wasn’t very crowded at this location. I tried something new for me, the birria beef. It was tasty, but a tad on the greasy side. It was a lot of food for one person, but all very good. I would say the service was sort of average. They seem to be short on the number of servers.

Big, classic Tex-Mex spot — this location is the original! The portions are huge and very shareable. Chips & salsa are endless, and we even got a queso fundido dip with our order.

We tried the Beef Fajita with Quail & Shrimp Brochette — the sizzling beef was the star of the show: tender, juicy, and flavorful. The quail and shrimp were tasty too, paired nicely with avocado salad, rice, and beans. The El Sombrero was decent, but only memorable for its size.

Overall great value, lively atmosphere, and a perfect place to experience Texas-style Tex-Mex. If you only order one thing, make it the sizzling beef fajitas — absolutely worth it.

Menu seriously minimized. No vegetarian items, many past items not on menu. Server tried to make up for limited menu. Will not return to any Pappasitos Cantinas.

Great food shrimp brouchette is my favorite. Enchiladas, rice and beans is pleasing. Deserts are marvelous. Nice waiters, tips are well earned. There's always a smile. My favorite restaurant to dine in anytime.

We had an amazing experience at Pappasito’s! The food was absolutely delicious—easily some of the best Mexican food we’ve ever had. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was fantastic too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We left completely satisfied and can’t wait to come back!

Not like it use to be. The police get less and less or they have fillers like onions and lettuce. Bell peppers very little meat and the meat is not of a quality that it used to be. But the prices have increased and it's not a good value for what they charge.

I ordered top shelf margaritas on the rock.. the Bartender gave me Sauza Tequila silver, not Patron like I asked for.. I wanted Top shelf not bottom of the barrel.. I don't know why she didn't understand I wanted the best as my mother has just passed away and I trusted this place to give me the best possible tequilas and margaritas... I asked for the best and got the worst..
$50 for 2 of the worst margaritas I have ever had is not cool.. I expected more from this place but , Papasitos has let me down a few times.. Next time I will remember that Molinas is right around the corner and they are AWESOME!!
