    Little citos absolutely blew me away. The food was fresh, delicious, and cooked perfectly, but the service is what truly sets this place apart. Managers Craig and Cristian are top tier — professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for every guest. You can feel the difference in how smoothly everything runs and how welcoming the atmosphere is. I also have to mention the bartenders — they were so friendly, engaging, and on top of everything that they literally made me want to come back the very next day. Their energy and hospitality took the whole experience to another level. This location is easily a 5-star spot, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

    We ate lunch there today, chicken tortilla soup and pork carnitas. Everything was wonderful with the carnitas being the best that I have ever eaten. We will definitely go back. Our server was wonderful answering our questions and making suggestions.

    I went for lunch today at Pappasitos have been there many times. Menu is changed or did my usual tacos. What a big surprise they were overcooked and over spiced and not very good big disappointment. Guess I’ll be looking for a new Mexican food restaurant I have lived in Houston all my life 80+ years, but this is bad. My other guest had quesadillas. The outsides were burnt. She didn’t say anything she was polite. She ate a couple and brought the rest home. I’m sure they’re going in the trash disappointment sorry but you’ve changed too much.
