It is heartbreaking that this place has become such a disappointment.
I have been enjoying Pappasitos for decades. But to continue doing so I will have to drive to Houston. This location is a fail.

Family Platter #2 was absolutely outstanding. The combination of grilled quail, beef fajitas, grilled chicken, and Diablo shrimp gave everyone at the table something to enjoy, and every item was cooked perfectly. The meats were tender, flavorful, and fresh, and the Diablo shrimp had just the right amount of spice. The rice, charro beans, grilled vegetables, guacamole, pico de gallo, and warm homemade tortillas completed the meal and made it feel like a true feast.
The portions were generous, and the quality exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Everything arrived hot, well-prepared, and beautifully presented, making it perfect for sharing with family or friends. If you’re looking for a family-style meal with a great variety of flavors and excellent value, easy five-star choice. We’ll definitely be ordering it again.

No matter your opinion on Tex mex, the food here is always consistent and the service is great. Beef is always tender and flavorful. Even our kids chicken tenders are hand battered and fresh which is more than you can say for most places in the city. Drinks are solids and you get exactly what you pay for. Will always return for fajitas and the employees

Our group arrived with 13 people to celebrate a birthday. We were sat without any menus and water. We waited for 25 minutes without anything. The manager came to our table and apologized, said the appetizers were going to be free, and brought servers with him. We ordered drinks and some appetizers. Our appetizers were brought without any silverware or small plates to share among the group. We waited nearly 45 minutes before the server brought us water, small plates, with no silverware - so how were we to eat? A member of our party had their drink served to them in a dirty glass that was not cleaned. Another member did not even get their drink until dinner was brought out - because the bartender forgot to make that drink and after th 3rd request for the drink was it finally brought. One dinner entree of stuffed shrimp should have 4 - a person in our group received 3, while another got 4. They tried to pass it off and once we spoke to the server about it - they removed it from the bill. Right before our food was brought to our table, a server brought part of our order (that is we thought) and then that server realized the food belonged to another table - the server picked up the food from our member and brought those plates of food to a completely different table - even after our member began to eat from it! The server and manager was infomed of this and they did nothing to correct this mistake! When we got our bill, the birthday dessert was not comped and the stuffed shrimp of 3 entree was not comped - the server had to go back three times to remove the items. It is hard to describe the food because of everything else was awful. The quality of the food was okay. The birthday girl was aghast at the lack of service with friends and family present.
For this price point, the managers and staff need to be seriously retrained. The GM needs to fire the manager on duty. We ate there on Saturday, June 13 6pm - It was a disgusting, gruesome, experience - one place I will never return to - and if this restaurant is mentioned by anyone - I will relay this tale of horror to them. It is shocking that this restaurant has a decent rating - our experience was poor and there is nothing they can do to fix that!
