- SGSavannah Grant2 days ago5.0First of all, we had a group of 12 that turned into 17 & we know how annoying that is, but the host team was awesome and accommodated us upon arrival with no hesitation. Second, we visited here a few months ago with a big family group & the service was rough— so we were hesitant to try again but everyone deserves a second shot. Third, DOM AND QUINCY!!!!! You guys handled my insane family and made our celebration 5x more special. You guys were on it the whole time, refills & kind words & any small request was met with a smile and immediate action. Service like theirs is hard to find these days. We were so appreciative!!
- OOOrangeRamenNov 17, 20255.0Me and others were stuck in the middle of the field, shells and lead firing over me... I was scared.. hopeless... It was loud and intense, I thought I was going to die. It wasn't until eileen came into the pit and helped everyone get back up on their feet, gave us a stim shot and had us charging into the enemy. We successfully captured the objective and we made it out alive if it wasn't for eileen.
- SSSamNov 15, 20255.010/10 Amazing Experience! I had a wonderful time at Pappasito’s, My server Celoi gave exceptional service! She was friendly, attentive and made sure everything was perfect the entire visit. The food was delicious. I ordered the ribs and beef fajitas and both were full of flavor and cooked just right. The environment was also really comfortable, and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’d return to. Highly recommend!
- ILIvana-Sol LariosNov 15, 20255.0Had a lovely meal here recently with my husband, our server Celoy was so lovely! She was so attentive, guided us through the menu and we loved the meal and the experience, my husband had the plato del mar with extra beef, he said the beef was cooked perfectly. I had the carne asada enchiladas, which was seasoned well and very flavourful. For dessert we got the cake with milk, very yummy. Totally recommend
- MSMalory StallingsNov 3, 20255.0This was my first time at a Pappasitos and it did NOT disappoint. I was a private chef and owned my own catering business for many years in the northern US. The food here is remarkable. Nothing lacks in flavor- from the mesquite fired tomatoes in the salsa, the richness of the beans and rice, the perfect balance of cinnamon to spices in the birria, to the full bodied tomatillo sauce over the flautas- every element could stand on its own in quality and flavor. We arrived at 5:30p on a Monday and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Sam, never let our drinks, chips, or salsa reach bottom. He’s a long time Pappasitos lover and will not lead you astray in suggestions etc. Venus, the manager, was kind to guests, attentive to her staff, and honestly a confident and bright leader. I expect her to go far in any career. We had the beef queso, snapper tacos, fajita tacos, flautas, cheese enchiladas, rice and beans, birria enchiladas, and sopapillas. EVERYTHING was 10/10. It’s worth every dollar spent in more than just food. This is food and service I’d want at a nice wedding or corporate event. We will definitely be back.
