In Short – Brace yourself for the noise, circus-like atmosphere and, during peak times, a long wait for a table. None of which has discouraged diners who have made this chain popular in Houston. Who can fault sizzling platters the size of manhole covers, great value and seemingly indefatigable service? Tortilla soup, Pappasito's famous fajitas and shrimp diablo are all worth a try. If strolling mariachis who sing "La Bamba" every five minutes get tiresome, escape to the pleasant patio.
Yummy Fajitas!!!
by howdyhouston
The Fajitas are great!!! The service there is good, but not excellent. I think the marg's are a little over priced, but over all it is a good place to go and enjoy some very good fajitas and company!
- Pros: Quality of food and drinks
- Cons: slightly over priced, and there is always a wait
great atmosphere
by ZReviewer
Not the greatest host staff ever, but it'll do... The atmosphere is very nice, the bar drinks are well done, the food is good, however the guacamole was a bit fermented, I hated the jalopeno juice in it. I had quails, and they were exceptionally GREAT. Best quail I had anywhere.
Will definitely be back and bring people.
- Pros: good food, good atmosphere
- Cons: no parking, hostesses, a bit expensive
GREAT Customer Service!

We've eaten at this location a couple times and the food is great, as expected. But what really made me happy was the experience we had when ordering takeout. We ordered two salads, and my boyfriend drove over, picked them up, and returned home. We discovered that neither of our salad dressings had been included (and when all you order is salad, this is a pretty big oversight). We called and explained the situation, expecting to be given a small discount or a free dessert on our next visit. The manager, I think her name was Holly, actually voided the credit card payment and gave us our meal for free. Totally unexpected, and we felt the situation had been more than rectified. Now *that* is how you manage a restaurant! We went from swearing them off forever to liking them even more than before.
- Pros: Fajitas, Margaritas, Service
- Cons: Parking
