Sometimes the best medicine is simply spending time with good friends. Several of my neighbors and I gathered at Pappasito's this evening to share a meal, lots of laughter, and even a few tears as we prepare to say goodbye to one of our dear neighbors tomorrow.
Life has a way of reminding us how precious friendships really are. We celebrate together, we support one another through life's challenges, and we show up when it matters most. I'm so thankful to live in a neighborhood where neighbors truly become family.
Please keep our friend's family in your thoughts and prayers as we honor a life well lived tomorrow. And if you have someone you've been meaning to call, visit, or hug, don't wait. Tomorrow is never promised.

This is my first time visiting in 6 years. The food and service is still amazing. Our server, Martin, was exceptional. He caught on to all of the silly jokes that my friend made, and he had excellent customer service. He ensured that all of our food came out fast and hot. I will definitely make sure to ask for him on my next visit.
The manager, Jose, was nice as well. Keep it up guys!

Janalee was amazing and very attentive to us. The only issue I had was the bar manager was distracting the bar staff from attending to guests. A meeting after the shift could be more beneficial than taking up service time at the bar.

Worst service ever!!! My wife and I were celebrating our 5-year anniversary, as we do every year at Pappasito's Cantina. I had the feeling our server didn't want to be there as she was not attentive at all and was busy just hanging out and chatting with another coworker at the end of the bar. The restaurant was dead that night, and there were only about 5 tables being served, with our server only having one table to serve, and that was us. Horrible!
