    First time here and it was amazing!! Kylah was our main bartender and she was super sweet. I always appreciate a bartender who can engage with their customers and still multitask. I forgot the name of the seasonal drink she made, but it was featured on the cards on the table so I decided to try. Loved it!!! She also made me my first "Mexican Candy" shot-- 10/10. Im almost afraid to ask for it in any other city because Im not sure it'll taste like it lol We ordered the beef fajita quesadilla. Also 10/10. Flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked. I enjoyed my time here. Shoutout again to Kylah and Essence who helped out as well. Cant wait to come back next time im in Houston!

    We opted to eat here because we were in the area. This place was easily accessible and had private security onsite. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the hostesses and chose to sit at the bar. The bartender/waitress was amazing. She knew how to read the room. She was attentive, but not bothersome. She was very knowledgeable on the menu and substitutions, based on our requests. She even gave us each our own salsa to eat with our chips. Entrees: Beef Taco, Chicken Flauntas & Chipotle Shrimp. The Taco was pretty basic, but the other dishes were served with rice and beans. Also, I like that you can add a side of queso for just $1.95. Yet, the queso was pretty thick, but I think I'm just used to Lupe's food now. All in All, we were able to chat and catch up, so it's a good place to hang out if you're looking for somewhere close by.

    Hubby and I went for date night. It's was our first time. Take a sweater it is very cold. If you ask for a different hot sauce (green or spicier) they do charge extra for it (FYI). I absolutely loved the ribs, they do have a little kick to it but if you think it's too spicy they do give you a little sweet sauce on the side. The waitress was very nice and pleasant. But please make sure you double check your receipt, they added 2 extra plates to us by accident and had to refund and charge our card again.

    This was my first time eating here so I had high expectations. The place is a lot larger than it looks and offered plenty of parking and quick seating once we got inside. The service was great but once it came to food time things were not so great. If its your birthday then they really do give you a great song and cheerful mini party. I will probably give them another shot but the food overall tasted average and was over priced. The bar drinks did stick out and were very good but again you go to the restaurant for food not the drinks.

    We went here for happy hour and had a good time. The food was cooked well and tasty. The drinks were good and the inside and outside has a nice environment. Good service.

    Are here again since my last review and the food and service was much better. Perhaps they had an off night at the previous visit.

    I was visiting Houston for a few days I wanted to get Mexican food. I definiitely love me some queso and margaritas. I seen this place off the highway so I just yelped it , I noticed they had white queso so I gave them a try. The food here is surprisingly good, I got white queso of course lol which was pretty good, a few margaritas which were delicious and a chicken burrito, the service was really good, we came early, the building got packed pretty fast tho. The scenery was vey nice , kind of outdoorsy. Wood cabin, I wouldn't mind returning. Definiitely would recommend

    This Pappasitos location has been a favorite of mine for basically as long as I can remember. As with any Pappasitos, the chips and salsa are amazing. I think they have some of the best around, potentially even my favorite. The reason I give this restraunt 4 stars is because of the price. They are overpriced, in my opinion. However, the quality is good, and the portions are large. I try and mostly visit Pappasitos during lunch hours. I think the prices are good for lunch portions compared to dinner prices being around double. I think they have some of the best chicken fajitas around. The thing is, they are sometimes overcooked at certain locations. Thankfully, at this location, they have always been great. I think this is one of the best restaurants around the area. Maybe even the best. If you haven't tried Pappasitos, I recommend it. It's a Houston favorite.

    Our server Laura was eh. She never checked on how our food was , making sure everyone received everything, refills of drinks n chips(had to ask). A friend ordered dessert with her entree so it can come out together and she received the dessert first from another waitress. When we finally got the chance to tell Laura she wanted it with her entree, she took it away then brought the same dish back of already melting ice cream w/ brownie because the food was already coming. Also, had to remind her of certain things like bringing to go plates because she didn't ask who needed some when bringing one for someone who had to ask for one. I definitely know the difference between poor service and busy service. The food made up for the service and the live music they had. Atmosphere was great, service not so much. I expect great service cause I know how to give good service, I always tip even when service isn't so great cause I know how it is. Yet, I bearly wanted to tip cause it was just bad, not even a thank you for coming or have a great day after giving us our checks.

    We are on our way to Arizona and got trapped in the rush hour traffic. We looked on line and saw Pappasito's Cantina and a BBQ place with reviews just as good. We decided on the Cantina. Jessica was a fantastic host and the order was exactly correct. She checked on us, but not to much. When we were eating the Manager came by and told us they have three restaurants. This one, Papas BBQ place and pappadeaux seafood. He also was told that this is our first visit. He gave us dessert on the cuff. We would highly recommend this restaurant when passing through Houston, Tx!

The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.

It could be defined as a dive bar, but we have had and have many of those in South Houston. People have always driven into this small city for night scene, remember the clubs: Hallaballoos and Rockys? Now-a-days we have many other places where locals hang out. The eclectic indoor area is spacious, they have a stage, and pool tables. The outdoors in front has a small raspa eatery feel to it, but a bigger, relaxed, and more gentrified area in the back. Are you a homebody? If you're a gamer or "I don't like people" type, then no worries come pick up your drinks to-go via the drive thru. They have a heavy hand. The menu has everything that tickles MY alcoholic fancy. Mixed drinks, Jello shots, stiff drinks.
