There is virtually no authentic Mexican food to be had here. After multiple attempts to order food, only to be told they don't have the dish, which is fair, I didn't see it on the menu. The dish in question? A Carne Asada plate.
What kind of Mexican joint doesn't have that?
Ok, I'll go for some street tacos. Nope. None to be found. Best they can do is ground beef like an overpriced soft taco from taco bell.
Ok, fine. Getting frustrated by this point. Birria tacos. Fried tacos, right? Nope. Assemble your own soft flour tacos.
Like who this menu? Have they ever been to Mexico? Or had any Mexican food? I doubt it.
Had fajitas and they were terrible, I should have returned them but I didn't want to complain. The fajitas were old or overcooked but they tasted rubbery. Next time I will return them if I get the same.
Best fajitas I've had in my life. I did the chicken-steak-pork with the churro beans on the side. Exceptional. My next trip to Houston, I'm coming here and ordering the exact same thing! Service was on point and atmosphere was great as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Family Fiesta at Pappasito’s!
If you’re looking for the ultimate Tex-Mex vibe, look no further! We had an awesome family night at the Channelview Pappasito’s, and the energy was absolutely electric. From the moment we walked in, the live music had us in a festive mood—it’s the perfect backdrop for a great meal.
We kicked things off the right way with the legendary chips and queso (a must-have!), and the kids were happy campers with their chicken quesadillas and the kids' beef taco plate.
For the adults, the drinks were the star of the show. My wife and I started with the Pappasito’s Sangria and then moved on to the margarita flight. Tasting the strawberry, mango, and original lime side-by-side was a blast—every flavor was spot on!
When it came to the main course the Cheese Enchiladas were classic, gooey, and exactly what my wife was craving. I went for the Lamb Chops and wow... they were incredibly tender and delicious. Perfectly seasoned! The service was truly top-notch. If you go, do yourself a favor and ask for Joel. He’s a total pro and made sure we were taken care of the entire night.
We’ll definitely be back for the great food and even better service! ¡Fantástico! 🍹🎸
