    I love this location! The food is incredible and our waiter was so attentive and kind. He was funny and had good recommendations for menu items. It's very clean and a nice place to dine out! The food is great for the price :)

    My fiancé and I aren't usually fans of Mexican food, but it was wonderful! The food was fresh and the portions are large for the price. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained as well. Our server was relatively inattentive (empty drinks, waiting a while to order), but everything else was wonderful. Edit: Docking one more star because we were charged almost TWENTY dollars for queso. We were charged more for queso than our actual food.

    This place never disappoints. Tried this dish for the first time and loved every bite. Efrain was our server and treated us to an excellent service. Thank you!

    Guacamole Mexicano

    We stopped by here for a quick lunch the other day and were not disappointed. The brisket tacos are very good here - chunky, tender pieces of brisket folded in to appropriately toasted corn tortilla with a hint of cheese and spicy salsa on the side. What's not to love? The rice that comes on the side is delicious and very flavorful, chock-full of herbs and deep flavor. Our server was polite and kind. He refilled our drinks quickly and was knowledgeable about the menu. Guacamole was also very good and chips were fresh. The outdoor seating area is nice and spacious and also covered so you're not fully exposed to the heat and sun. Great place for outdoor lunch or casual dinner with friends or family.

    My experience at this location did not go as I had imagined. Our server Mr.Efrain was very friendly to those at my table, but was not as engaged with us compared to other tables around. A table that was seated roughly 15 minutes after us ordered before us, and we waited another 10 minutes before we were given the opportunity to order food. I ordered the beef enchiladas, and received chicken instead. I began to eat my enchiladas after finishing my sides, and was enjoying myself with those at my table, until I bit into a bone that was in my enchiladas. I did not finish my meal, and I proceeded to ask for the check. The atmosphere is good with many families and friends, but it can get very loud during busy hours with tables being so close to each other. I am hoping my next experience is not like this one if I were to try it again.

    We are regulars here at Mena's, for 15 years Let me just…read moresay we have NEVER had cold food, it's always piping hot. And the margaritas are strong and well priced, we have eaten at other mexican food establishments and they charge $18 for sweet lime-aid. We usually ask for Eric since he's our favorite! Table-side guacamole is a Yum, as anything with brisket. The beef fajitas are the most tender we have ever tasted. If you like spicy salsa, ask for the Verde salsa. Menas you make our tastebuds dance!!!

The bartender was attentive, kind, and professional. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and you can tell they have loyal regulars, which always speaks well of a restaurant. The staff overall seemed consistent and friendly. Now for the food. I ordered the queso to start. The flavor was good, but it wasn't hot -- more lukewarm than fresh-out-the-kitchen warm. For my entrée, I had the skirt steak with beans, pico de gallo, enchilada, and rice. The flavors were solid, but again, the plate came out lukewarm. For a Tex-Mex spot, temperature really matters. I don't need it piping hot, but I do expect my food to feel freshly made and properly heated when it arrives. That was my only disappointment. I've ordered carryout before without issue, and because the service and vibe are strong, I will definitely be back to give it another try. I just hope next time the food comes out hot and fresh. Overall: great service, good flavors, strong local energy -- just room for improvement on food temperature.

Unfortunately, since the ownership change, the experience just hasn't been the same. The customer service is still decent, and I genuinely enjoy their spicy Mexican martini -- that's honestly the main reason I still stop by. However, the food quality has noticeably declined. Over the past year, I've experienced stomach issues after eating here, which had never happened to me before under the previous ownership. I'm not sure if it's a change in ingredients, preparation methods, or sourcing, but something is clearly different. It's disappointing because this used to be a go-to spot. I truly hope the new management takes a closer look at the food quality and consistency. There's a strong history here, and it would be great to see it restored.

There's just something consistently great about the experience here. The atmosphere has that lively Texas cantina energy without feeling overly commercial, and the bar area is a great place to relax with chips, salsa, and one of their legendary margaritas. The margaritas are strong, fresh, and easily some of the better ones you'll find at a restaurant this size. Food-wise, everything I've had has been solid, but the tacos and Tex-Mex plates always hit the spot. Portions are generous, ingredients taste fresh, and the service has consistently been friendly and attentive on every visit. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. A lot of chain restaurants feel interchangeable, but this location has personality, good energy, and staff that seem to genuinely care about the experience. If you're in the Richardson area and craving Tex-Mex, this place is definitely worth a stop.

    My wife and I have been coming to Papasitos for many years. We love the fajitas and the margaritas…read moreand ambience. Today was her birthday (one of those that come every 10 years) and she wanted to go to Papasitos. I made reservations, checked the box that we were celebrating a BD. We arrived ahead of our reservation and had a little wait for a table. No problem. The young lady from the check in seated us and ask if we were celebrating anything. I told her that it was my wife's birthday, but she didn't want the full blown hooten hollering sombrero celebration. We waited 8-10 minutes before a server came to our table. He immediately apologized for the wait and said that he was helping out another waiter that was supposed to have our table. He took our drink order and soon returned with our drinks. To my surprise, he proceeded to take our food order. I thought he was temporarily helping out until the other server could catch up and take over. That wasn't the case. Ok, No problem so far. I'm giving 2 stars because the food came out super fast and hot and delicious. Then our server delivers hot flour tortillas.., all 3 of them. After each eating one taco, we were ready for another batch. Now this is where it started to go downhill. Several minutes go by and I could not grab his attention. I literally had to waive my hand in the air to flag him down across the restaurant. He finally looked my direction and soon delivered more tortillas. That was the last we saw of him. No checking on our table, no refills on our drinks, no nothing. After we finished our meal, we waited another 25 minutes to try to get his attention to close out our meal. He would never look our way. He was like a horse with blinders. Honestly, I think he forgot that he was our server OR MAYBE he saw us as 2 people and his gratuity was going to be smaller compared to the larger tables. Finally, I flagged down another server from another table and ask if he could close us out. He asked if we had a paper receipt, which we had not. He closed us out on his iPad. I didn't even get the chance to order my wife a dessert to celebrate the occasion. No bueno! Let's just say the service was abysmal and absolutely unacceptable. My man went MIA. It is questionable whether I will return to this establishment.
