    I honestly don't know where to start. When I got to the bar I asked for a green tea shot, to which the waiter replied " we don't have that in stock". I was completely dumbfounded simply because I'm looking behind him and I see everything he needs to make it. I decided to just get a Jameson shot instead. I eventually ordered the enchiladas ( 1 chicken and 1 beef). I can't tell if it was the tortillas or the actual meat but it was absolutely nasty. The rice and beans were not much better. I now understand why I walked into a completely empty restaurant at 4:00 on a Sunday. Will never be back. I normally don't write reviews but I had to this time to prevent anyone else from wasting their money or time.

    Others have written about the service here. They are not exaggerating. I've also read the drinks are nice and strong. They are. Chips and salsa were also enjoyable. Service: if it weren't for Jack & Janet, I would have given them 1 star all together. The first two waiters walked right past me. I flagged them for help. They never showed up again. Janet and Jack both recognized me and assisted at their earliest. They were swamped with no busboys. After these two got me seated, one of the first two waiters that had initially walked by me came to the table repeatedly asking me about my service dog. (Spanish guy, and only one wearing a mask.) And if I understood him, he asked if I had a card for him. Someone should let him know that ADA discrimination is a federal offense and a lawsuit. I saw Janet hustling all night for other tables. Being so gracious and kind. Jack, I cannot say enough about his level of service. I wish I could take Jack with me everywhere. Maybe he could train others on how to make guests dining experience an awesome one -- even when the food is not hitting the mark. That kind of service is a dying breed. YHANK YOU JACK My tacos were ok. (I had the chicken which I will not recommend.) Mango margarita did its job without even finishing the glass. Prices are reasonable but based on my experience and others seen here, service is a crap shoot.

    I went here last weekend with my family and the bartender cursed like a sailor and the servers argued like school children. Not a family environment. Food was so/so. Never go there again.

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.

    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.
