  I had a crazy travel day trying to get home to NYC because of the blizzard last month and I was so annoyed that I had to fly halfway across the country to Dallas to connect to my third flight to NYC. I was tired and starving and I stumbled across Pappasito’s Cantina. The atmosphere was great and fun and my waiter was super nice! I ordered the chicken fajitas and they were by far the best chicken fajitas I have ever had! My meal started with a huge basket of warm tortilla chips and a delicious warm salsa! I can always judge how good a Mexican restaurant is by their rice and beans. Theirs was some of the best I’ve ever had! This was the best food I’ve ever had at an airport! It actually made my day and (almost) all the connections worth it. :) I don’t think I would hesitate booking a connecting flight through Dallas again just so I could eat at this place!

  Outstanding service. Our server Hector was very friendly, attentive and provided right recommendations. Great food, reasonable prices and ambiance is perfect for a Tex-Mex restaurant. Unusually good for the airport location!

  I travel a lot for work and have been all over the country in different airports and having to deal with “airport food” LOL and not to many great options. But Pappasitos delivered. I wanted a hearty breakfast and Huevos Rancheros was SPOT ON. I love Mexican food and all the flavors were amazing. This will definitely be my go to when I’m at DFW. Portion was generous and service was great.

  Fantastic food. Bad service. Terrible pricing. They charge over SEVEN DOLLARS for a soda here. It's theme park pricing at this restaurant and it's insane. The enchiladas were fantastic. But they weren't $22 fantastic. Also they charge for site cream and guac. Most Mexican places do not. Be prepared to be taken for a ride here in terms of pricing. Service was slow and could use some serious improvement.

  Would 100% eat here again. With my history with getting stuck at DFW that will likely happen. The Baja fish tacos were excellent! Big succulent well seasoned pieces of fish with tons of cilantro and slaw. The salsa offered was excellent. Smokey chipotle flavor. I had a skinny marg. The only skinny thing about them is that it’s agave and not liquid sugar. Delicious. The bartender Rosa was super nice and so sweet about my time blindness (need to pay right away so I could slam my food and drink and run). The only bummer were the sides, beans and rice just didn’t have much flavor at all. It was a Mon the pricey side but not really when you consider it’s in an airport.
