We loved our visit to Papasitos. Even during a busy lunch rush, our drinks were always refilled, and we never wanted or needed anything. We all raved about our food, which was excellent. The fajitas, in particular, are top notch. We had such a great meal on our visit to Dallas, we ate here again the next day.
Delicious, usual Mexican fare with some interesting differences. The guacamole is tasty, very plain with large chunks of avocado. The chips are very thin, salted & hard to not eat. The salsa is not the expected tomato base, but more herbaceous with peppers, little spicy. The queso is a nice, thinner consistency than what we might consider nacho cheese dip, jalapeno flavor is prevalent. All portions in the 7 meals were plentiful. The ribs were tender, but the bark was tough I think because of being out back on a grill plate while bacon-wrapped shrimp were cooked on the same plate along with sauteed onions. Everyone was very happy with their supper, filled to the brim.The parking lot is not quite large enough for a full house at prime supper hour. At this location, there really is nowhere else to park, so we waited to get a spot. We waited approximately 45 minutes to be seated. It was a full house, very noisy. I had hoped to have a mariachi visit, but we didn't have that luck. 3 birthdays, including at our table provided fun. The birthday girl & 2 kids were brought enormous ice cream sundaes.
5-star experience from start to finish. We chose this Pappasito’s for Mother’s Day - something that can pose a challenge for a restaurant. The staff handled the holiday rush well! Our waiter was Jacob, and he was excellent. The food was plentiful and fresh - think sizzling as it hit the table. This location is a credit to the Pappas franchise. Despite the rush, our party was treated with courtesy and respect, and we all left satisfied.
I was very curious to try this Tex Mex style restaurant Pappasito's Cantina in the Richardson, TX area. We finally stopped by to see how the place was. The interior was clean with an retro feel, low lighting with multiple seating options. Our waitress was nice and attentive, not over done nor under. The appetizer, which was chips and salsa lacked taste, even after adding some salt n pepper. The food we ordered looked good, but still missed the mark of taste we were looking for. The prices were definitely on the expensive side, when you take in consideration the cuisine type and what you get. Overall my experience was okay. Nothing more nor less.
As a first-timer, I wasn't expecting these higher prices for tex-mex food, but the portions were huge! I believe they're known for their fajitas and the beef fajitas pictured did not disappoint. The steak was juicy, tender, flavorful and had a good sear. However, the enchiladas and flautas were underwhelming for the price. It's my opinion that there are better, more reasonably priced tex-mex options in the neighborhood. So, unless you're a fajita-holic, you'd get a better bang for your buck at another tex-mex joint in the neighborhood. That said, our server was wonderfully polite and attentive.
I came for Happy Hour and was happy with the early seating. There wasn’t a crowd and the bar had plenty of space. There were 2 bartenders who were very attentive. My drink came and was overflowing. Chips were warm and crunchy. The salsa was flavorful but could have had a bit more. The portion size was large for one person but I got through it. I had the beef fajita quesadilla and it was the cheesiest. True Tex/Mex style with this restaurant. I will always visit them when in Texas.
The best Tex-Mex in the state of Texas! The food is unlike anywhere else you'll eat.Definitely recommend the Beef Fajitas and Diablo Shrimp ?. The butter sauce is just ridiculously good!Always get the Guacamole and Tortilla Soup for starters.Our waitress, Amairani, is FANTASTIC! So sweet, and kind, and attentive. She truly made the experience memorable.Bathroom needs a few more men's stalls. Too small.Overall, great place to dine! Take the family! You won't be disappointed. ?
Food was ok.. I quoted something off the menu online.. the server looked clueless.. so I dropped it.. even though I was over charged.. they servers kept putting their dirty dishes on a tray in front of our table.. I had to ask that it be removed on several occasions.. overal.. it was ok.. but we will not be coming back.. I rather not eat in front of trash and waste.. food was bland.. but that was to be expected anyways..
Previous visits have been stellar, but tonight’s hostess seemed to have a process she was comfortable with and struggled with any variations from the norm. So we waited unwelcome while staring at an empty restaurant. Waiter was cool and helped make up for our greeting, there were several new hires ghosting. Salsa, chips, fajitas, enchiladas, soup, all delish.
Had amazing service and an awesome meal here, the Plato Amor is available for Valentine's, Mother's Day & Christmas Eve ...
