“ THE BEST FAJITAS IN ALL HOUSTON! If you are not from Houston you have to try Pappasito’s! Bartenders know my order when I walk in! Love the service. Fast and always consistently delicious! ”
“ I am 51 yrs old, and I have never been served at a restaurant in such a way where someone made me feel like a king. Leslie was our server, and she is hands down a 5 star employee. This restaurant is blessed to have her, and I hope that they value her and do everything they can to show their appreciation. ”
“ Haylee was our most excellent waitress! She took care of us! The Coronado combo dish my husband rated at a 3.5 stars-I had chipotle shrimp on-top of a pile of rice...served with black beans. My rating is about the same as his (3.5)! The salsa was just so-so. I highly recommend you get the salsa verde -it was only an extra 1.95 and definitely worth every penny! I truly wanted the redfish meal but 37.00 is a bit over priced!!!!!! ”
“ Mauricio, our waiter was 5 diamonds!! Service was extradionary food and drinks were great! I ordered the sombrero plate huge portions. My patron margarita was amazing! Thank you, for a great dinner! ”
“ I went to Pappasito’s Cantina on a recent Thursday night with a friend after work. We were greeted very kindly, and that was just the beginning. I took note of the vibrant and eclectic culture, the lively dining room, and the very clean environment. Shortly, after being seated, we were treated by the most fantastic service I have ever experienced in my life. The server Noah was new, but was willing to do anything to make sure we had a perfect dining experience. Shortly thereafter; our incredibly delicious meals were delivered by smiling proud faces. The restaurant manager Javier came by to make sure everything was to our liking. It wasn’t the usual “ hi I’m the manager” talk. This man asked us how we enjoyed our meal, and the full experience, and we could do was gush to him how delighted we were. I cannot say enough how important the strong customer-focused culture in this restaurant was on full display. After leaving the restaurant, the man who dined with me and I talked about how more businesses (not just restaurants) should be run so efficiently and with such pride and customer satisfaction being number one on their minds. This restaurant is an amazing experience and look forward to returning. ”
