I love Little Pappasitos. I'm only 5 minutes away from this fun place. All their food and drinks are delicious but yesterday I had the grilled salmon and mango salad and I ate every bit of it! I like my salmon extra crispy.
Highly recommend it. Ask for the dressing on the side.

I always take every opportunity to eat at this Pappasito's when in Houston. I love all the restaurants and am a regular at the one in Humble. The Richmond one is always so good with lots of food and delicious drinks. I have been going to this one for over 20 years, never get disappointed. The fajitas are always the best! My only complaint is that a few years back they took the spicy shrimp enchiladas off the menue. The seafood ones are not as good, sure wish they would bring them back. (Hint ,hint)
My go to place in Texas for awesome food! I have been dining in Pappa’s restaurants for over 25 years and have never been disappointed by any of my visits!
As always they handle any issues beautifully and the food was divine!! Our food was a little long for a slow period and the manager comped the meal and the server was attentive!! We love this location!
Great food, service and atmosphere! We love this place and highly recommend it!
Our waitress Leslie was a darling! Kept bringing baskets of corn chips, until the rest of our party arrived, was attentive, and even had the manager help sub for her when she became busy with another large party. Food was fresh, cooked to perfection and I definitely recommend the Reserve Tequilla Marguerita! (They even flavoured it with a bit of mango for me) Thank you!
Such a great atmosphere. Our server was just wonderful and the food was delicious.
Not the cheapest dining option but the food and the experience are worth the extra coin. Absolutely a favorite.
Flavorful, clean, and very sweet staff!♥️ I will always come back for that mouth watering beef fajitas and sangria!🍷🌮♥️
The food and service was great!! We alway enjoy the food when we dine here!
Awesome food awesome service
Really enjoyed our meal, food was great and the service exceptional. Highly recommend this place.
Our server, David was great, gave us good advice on food selection and made sure we were happy and content.
The drinks were really good, really enjoyed my margaritas. Overall excellent value for money.
, this used to be great about 10 years ago it was actually better than most locations in the city especially for brunch on Sundays I don't know what happened to this place they got rid of the green sauce off the menu and even if you ask for the green sauce whoever makes it it's so horrible you didn't don't even want to eat it their steak is kind of drying out and their beans and rice really don't have flavor for Tex Mex I will go somewhere else sad to say this concept is going downhill and for the prices they charge you could easily go somewhere else that has better food and that is cheaper
Best service around
Sat at the bar. My glass never even got half empty. Very attentive staff willing to answer menu questions. Food was hot and fresh. Prices are a little higher but you get your money’s worth.
This is by far the best restaurant in Houston for Beef Fajitas. Prepared on a sizzling platter with everything needed to enjoy a fantastic meal. Fresh homemade tortillas.
I thought I knew good Mexican food until this meal! What a fabulous taste and great dinner we had while visiting the area for the day! The flavors were so different from what I was used to. We even got a meal to take home to enjoy the next day!
Will drive from The Woodlands to Lil Pappasitos in the city. The brunch is delicious as well as other fare. Other locations don’t offer the brunch. Food always comes out HOT and CONSISTENT. Nice atmosphere and great service. Thank you!
This place was fun and the food was tasty! My drink was huge and potent. We are visiting Houston for Easter Weekend. We really enjoyed the scenery.
A well-known name in the Houston food scene and my go-to place to take out-of-towners. We went there on a Sunday night and the place was packed. My biggest gripe was the size of the tables and how closely packed they all were. It was rather loud and uncomfortable. Busy night troubles plagued our table - there was no one to help us, confusion over who our server would be etc
House chips and dips 👍👍👍
Queso Blanco with chicken fajita 👍👍👍
Kids cheese quesadilla 👍
Catalina fish tacos 👍👍👍👍
Chicken fajitas for two 👍👍👍👍
I am really not sure if I would head back to the place even though the food is quite good.
This is part of Pappadeaux which means everything is amazing. I had the Pappasito's Griller and was very impressed and so happy they came with homemade flour tortillas! Our waitress Megan was helpful and excited to us first timers. I will definitely be doing back.

I highly recommend Pappasitos and I can't wait to go back to try more off the menu. Our server Jon was excellent and knowledgable. We even got a free queso because it was our first visit. The margaritas and specialty drinks were delicious. We had tex-mex and the mole sauce was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more!
Excellent food! Great service as well. We ordered tacos with fajita chicken, but they came with regular shredded chicken. We didn't tell the waitress because they were still delicious, but when she came to take away our plates she noticed they'd gotten our order wrong. She didn't charge us for that $16 plate even though we told her it was still tasty. They definitely aim to keep their customers happy!
Amazing. First time here. Got an appetizer platter for takeaway. Beef fajitas are out of the world. Will be back soon!
Foods great!! However someone should inform the bartenders how to bartender. A skinny margarita is tequila, agave, and freshly squeezed lime juice shaken and strained over ice. No sour mix, no oj, no triple sec.
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!. We ate here for the first time and we were both blown away! We got complimentary queso because it was our first time there, and it was so creamy. I had shrimp and pork tacos, and my boyfriend had a triple enchilada plate. My tacos were out of this world...they fell apart in my mouth, and the spanish rice had a hint of mint, which was unexpected but fantastic. We shared a dulce de leche dessert, which was just sealed the deal for us. We will DEFINITELY be going back!
Last time I had horrible service but this time we had a great waiter. The beef fajitas were delicious. The chicken enchiladas were alright-definitely not worth its price.
Try the quail! :)
Limited parking is a valid concern when venturing to this restaurant on a hopping Friday evening. The wait was about 30 minutes. The atmosphere is loud though. I ordered Tacos Trios. Of the shrimp, beef brisket and pork tacos, I prefer the beef brisket. They were all absolutely delicious. Service was great.
The go to place. Not sure what Mexican restuarant to choose from. Little Pappasito's never lets down. Nachos Al Carbon are the best in the city.
Excellent tacos al carbon, tender fajita meat. Good margaritas too. Tony was an excellent server at the bar.
I call it "Lil' Pops". It serves very good Tex-Mex, and the brunch items on Sunday are great. My favorite of the Pappasitos, everything at Lil' Pops is very fresh -- each bite of tomato or whatever -- and definitely a step above the dishes at the regular Pappasitos.

Better Tex-Mex. Little Pappasito's Cantina, another restaurant in the Pappas family empire, is consistently good and a cut above any chain version of Tex-Mex. What seems to have changed since my last visit a few years ago, or perhaps is more visible, is the presence of a chef versus a cook in the kitchen. There seems to be a little more creativity flowing onto the plate. Sauces for example, seem to have a little more depth of flavor than in the past and certainly the salsa shows many signs of being house-made rather than canned. Refried beans likewise seem to have a bit more flavor and seem less fatty than before. The show of making guacamole table side is fun but the real interest is the citrus bite and chile burn that is cooled by the silken avocado. While the dishes are firmly rooted in the Tex-Mex tradition, there are subtle efforts to lift them out of the ordinary. This is not to say that they can compete with Hugo's a few miles away, but instead, are an affordable spot for a good meal. An exception to the pleasant changes at Pappasito's is the rather hum-drum queso that seemed rather floury and flat. Adding some of the salsa brought with the chips added some much needed flavor and texture. The service is well-intentioned, but slow (or at least my server seemed like he was still recovering from a long night - other servers seemed more spry).
Very good!. The first time we went here the cheese enchiladas tasted like the best ones we have ever had! we love this place!
Stopped in for dinner on my own. Sat at the bar and had the Guadalajara combo and it was awesome. Tristan was very friendly and the food came out super fast. Thus the Houston food tour begins.
We both really liked this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was good. I would love to eat here again.
Every once in a while, you have a meal that stands out and becomes a memorable experience. I ordered the Atlantic Salmon and it was just that! An exceptional filet, cook to perfection. I have no notes! It seriously blew me away.

Hola, food lovers! Ready for a ride on the flavor express at Papasito’s Cantina? This place is like the theme park of Tex-Mex, where every dish is an adventure, and boy, do they roll out the red carpet for your taste buds! First stop, beef fajita quesadillas. Imagine a quesadilla and a beef fajita had a baby—a big, delicious baby that's all about that melt-in-your-mouth goodness. They’re massive, mouth-watering, and totally shareable (or not, no judgment here).
Next up on our flavor journey: beef fajita nachos! These nachos are not just a dish; they’re a celebration on a plate. Loaded with juicy beef fajita, they strike the perfect balance between crunchy, cheesy, and meaty, creating a nacho experience that’s basically legendary.
Let’s not forget the queso, a creamy concoction of cheesy delight that pretty much deserves its own fan club. Pair it with their margaritas, a delightful blend of strong and scrumptious, and you’ve got yourself a Tex-Mex party!
Big cheers to the staff, who sprinkle some extra awesome on the whole experience. Their service is like the cherry on top of the Papasito’s experience—sweet, delightful, and always hitting the spot.
In the spirit of sharing the good vibes and epic eats, Papasito’s Cantina is a must-visit. It’s where flavor fiestas and good times are always on the menu! 🎉🌮🍹
Visited Houston for the Beyoncé concert and came to this restaurant. This place is the best food I’ve had in Houston to be honest. I got the tacos and I don’t Normally like tacos, but these were the best I’ve had in YEARS! Sean was our waiter and he was so nice, full of knowledge and patient with us, the drinks was immaculate l!!!! The customer service was AWESOME!! You won’t regret it.
First time here and was good. Nice crew and clean place. Food was delicious. Didn't like Arnold Palmer is not on refill like many places in town. Recommended
Ooooh my god! Holy guacamole 🥑🍤
This place is pure joy.
The staff are lovely. Food is divine! So tasty.
Portions are huge (but I’m European lol) never thought I could get full on prawns until I came here and couldn’t move. They tasted so good that I didn’t want to leave any behind.
My friends are meat lovers and had a mix of everything. We all left satisfied. No room for dessert but I’ve seen them and looked delish
Make sure you sip on the margheritas. I had a large one & again it was enough
I highly suggest it! It tasted authentic and it’s not that pricey
Always 10 out of 10! Service was great, food served promptly, and greeted with a smile and nice conversation!!! Fajitas are always immaculate! The Diablo shrimp is so delicious! Never disappointed! Will be going back!
Cheese enchiladas are always delicious! We love their thin chips and salsa. Pappasito’s food is always consistent from our experiences. I recommend getting the house Margarita served 1/2 frozen & 1/2 on the rocks because the frozen is usually too frozen to drink. It also gives it a better flavor.
Don’t forget to ask for a fresh dough ball to help keeps kids entertained!
This little pappasito’s was so cute!
Service was wonderful, and the chips were warm and fresh.
I think my waiters name was Kasey, he did a great job and was super attentive the entire time! I tried the margarita special blood orange flavor, it was really tasty!
The lunch fajitas are always a go to, and queso with beef fajita added. Highly recommend this little spot! Great for lunch or event just drinks and snacks.
Great place. Food was amazing. Simone was our waitress and she was fabulous! Will definitely be back. Drinks were great
My family and I enjoyed the Family platter #2 (which included the bacon-wrapped quail, fajita meat, grilled chicken, and shrimp). It took about an hour and fifteen minutes from the time we entered the restaurant to the time we were served our meal. I give four stars because of price to food quality ratio. They also had a small Spanish band play some songs for everyone towards the end of our meal. Overall I recommend — good food and environment.
They have THE BEST DAMN MANGO MARGS!!! It goes down like a smoothie but sneaks up on you when you least expect it, I love their tortilla chips and green sauce. It's the best!

The drinks have gotten even better, they make the most flavorful , the strawberry hibiscus swirl margarita will make you want to swing on somebody 👊🏾 SO GOOD
The watermelon margarita was awesome. I asked for it smoky because I wanted to see what smoky meant and it came regular. Still don't know what smoky means. The food was delicious. And Tim our waiter was so patient and kind since it was our first time. I would definitely go back!
I decided to take a quick cheat meal and went to my old Favorite place. Food for the most part is ALWAYS great here for me. Today’s visit was all about the service. Shea was my waitress and whatever she is compensated for working here, it isn’t enough.
Great service is hard to find and if you drink like I do, you’ll earn your tip and then some. Shea was personable and very pleasant. All staff should yearn to be like her in that way.
Great Job Pappasito’s and make sure you take care of all of your employees the way Shea took care of me today.
Great service! Jaime, our server, was a wonderful guy who anticipated all our needs, guided us through the menu, and gave the perfect recommendations. Great fajitas at a very competitive price.
My strawberry margarita was so delicious, I drank it till the last sip. I got the beef faita special The Sombrero and the chips and guacamole were excellent. Nice outdoor inside patio vibe.
I loved this place! I can recommend! You’ll find pretty good mexican food here and a nice, friendly service with free warm tortilla chips always.
Excellent Tex-Mex food. The service was outstanding. Portion size is very generous for all dishes ordered by our table. Expect the average order to cost around $20 with drinks. Excellent facility with very secure parking and a security guard, making sure everything is safe and secure.
I ordered the chicken fajita nachos and they were fantastic. Highly recommended

Great service, very organized, food was awesome, and the drinks were on point. We went on a Friday night expecting to wait 30 minutes, nope, only waited 5 minutes. Had a great experience and will definitely be back.
