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!
by paigecpony
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

Its hard to beat Pappasitos, you will always compare other mexican food to the standard which is Pappasitos.
- Pros: great food, huge portions, reasonably priced
- Cons: always busy, loud

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.
My favorite Mexican restaurant in Housto

Best Seafood Enchiladas EVER
by deliab
Went to Little Pappasito's and had the BEST seafood enchiladas EVER. I'm going to take out-of-state friends here every time I want to show off what delicious Mexican food Houston has to offer.
- Pros: DELICIOUS food, Fun, party atmosphere, pleasant waitstaff
Best tortilla soup ever!
by verychumpy
We know the fajitas are great, but have you ever tried the tortilla soup? It's almost like a Mexican vegetable soup; it's full of chunks of green chiles, tomatoes, carrots, squash, avacados (yum!), and pico de gallo, plus huge chunks of their fabulous chicken fajita meat, all in a tasty, spicy broth (w/ crispy tortilla strips on top, of course). It's so great I get it for dinner (take-out) like every week!
- Pros: great tortilla soup!, great chips and salsa, great fajitas
- Cons: noisy atmosphere, crowded parking lot, some items expensive
best fajitas in town
by josiemaranfan2002
If you want fajitas, then this is the place to be. The prices are a little higher but the meat is much more tender and flavorful!
