    They have reconfigured, owned by Pappasito's. Food has improved. Combination fajitas with shrimp, beef, chicken, pork and vegetables was very good and plentiful for 2.

    Brandon was awesome, food has changed and you will be disappointed. I'd avoid at all cost. Also finding out that pappas bought it out after bankruptcy will never go back one of our fav places. But after pappasitos on forest park gave such crappy service on my bday weekend, and I have not even heard from them. There are plenty of better to eat at. Sorry pappas but yall destroyed an American fav with this new bs menu and food. The drinks and service still awesome here unlike pappasitos unless ur a big party hope they dont ruin that too.

    Management is a joke, dont know how to treat customers. Was a regular that sat in the bar area. Walked in tonight treated like we were sneaking into the back door of a concert. Was told we would need to wait 15 min meanwhile the bar had plenty of seating. Lady was projectile vommeting all over the place. What a horrible experience.

    EXTREMELY disappointed with the food after Pappas Restaurants took over. The chips and salsa was always beloved and now they have changed it to this hot and uninspired slop. The chips are too thin and just disintegrate at the slightest touch. The queso seems so much more fake and tasteless. This restaurant and staff are wonderful, but the change in menu has led my family and friends from going to OTB ever again.
