- PPPeace PaintsJan 13, 20265.0Food was great as always but Harmony was on top of the service, and super attentive. Definitely coming back!
- AWAmber WiessnerJan 5, 20265.0Today was the first time we have had OTB since Papas bought it. Wow! The fajitas were phenomenal! The best part of our visit was our server KeKe! The best service I have had in a long time. She was very personable, prompt, upbeat and completely on point! We will drive out to this location next time just for her!
- JMJoshua MannJan 2, 20261.0This place was decent until it got bought out by the group that owns pappasito’s. Food quality and salsa has completely changed for the worse. Our waitress was great and said the new salsa and queso were “improved” versions of the former, but you could immediately tell it was a lower quality version of the original. Bummer to see it happen. It now has the feel of a restaurant that was bought by a private equity firm. So long on the border…
- LLLoriDec 21, 20255.0Today was our first time since OTB was bought by the Pappas Company. We went in cautiously, not sure what to expect after reading some recent reviews. Well we were not disappointed. We were actually thrilled with the changes. We love Pappasitos, and were so happy to learn that their salsa is now just like it. The chips were good and thin like we like. The enchiladas, tacos, rice and beans were all delicious. Next time we’ll try the fajitas with their delicious garlic butter, because yes, there will be a next time. Plus we had the sweetest and most helpful waitress Natalie, who set us up with their fabulous salsa and chips to go. If you like Pappasitos, please go try the new OTB out!!
- ABAmber BucklaewDec 14, 20252.0This must be what having TexMex in New England is like. The salsa was watery, I think the memory of spice was in the next room, the rice just barely undercooked yet gummy and flavorless, there were tomatoes on it for some reason, the new refried bean recipe was shockingly bad, I get better consistency from a can. I ordered cheese enchiladas with chile con carne, there was no little jalapeño rings— probably deemed to be too spicy, idk. Our server was awesome so I was not comfortable complaining to him but we were sure to leave a good tip since he’ll be out of the job soon. The $6 margarita was nice. I hope Pappasitos’ group is happy with whatever bum deal they made. What’s worse than all of it is that I went a few weeks ago for my birthday, no one said it’d be the last time I’d ever have my familiar favorites. The price of chasing profits instead of sustainability really is here, isn’t it?
