Pappasito’s Cantina has been a long time favorite for me and my children. Decades later we still meet up to enjoy the great food. Our favorite dish is the family plater, which includes fajitas, sausage, ribs, and all the fixings. If you haven’t tried them then it’s a must do!

The food is sooo fresh! The staff is ALWAYS kind and accommodating, and they have music 🎶 🎵 sometimes. It's a busy restaurant, but it does not take away from the experience.
August 2025
Food was mediocre. The tortilla and salsa were nice, freshly made tortilla at the store was a bonus too.

I had the trio enchilada, cheese, shredded pork and chicken. It was…okay… it wasn’t anything special, it was very salty and tasted quite stodgy. It wasn’t anything special. It was nice but I wouldn’t order it again.

The tres leches cake however, was insane. That was my favourite part of the meal and was really, really good.
