I'm never disappointed. But I have to say our waiter was the best I have EVER had. Amadou was so attentive, even being as busy as it was in the evening. He apologized for wait on our chips and salsa, which honestly wasn't bad. They were out of the green salsa, but he asked them to make us some. He explained our questions about the menu, and was so pleasant to be around. I've never experienced such great customer service.
The food is always amazing. I love the beef fajitas. The desert was so great. I can't wait to come back again!!!

Excellent food!! The portion of one plate can serve two adults!! We will be returning!
Our waiter Mikey was great! Although everything (we were a party of 11) didn’t come out exactly as we ordered, he was quick to fix it and was very pleasant. The food was of course, delish!!
I highly recommend pappasitos restaurants to any body if you want real Mexican food that is the place to go!!
Our favorite place to eat in San Antonio... price is kinda steep but so worth it! Worth the wait! 😊
Excellent service, excellent atmosphere and best of all; the best presentation and food!
Great food and excellent service. Miguel took great care of us. Would highly recommend
Food was great the service was awesome � definitely recommend it.!!!
Great chicken and beef fajitas! Excellent service. We sat at the bar. They always have great people working the bar.
Food was delicious. Food took awhile to come out but it was very busy...so we understood.Our server was awesome.
Our favorite date night spot! The fajitas are always AMAZING!! (1/2 price on Wednesday, so prepare for big crowds!) we love the beef / chicken combo, and a nice big cold beer. Oh, and queso!! Never disappoints!
We met some friends here for lunch yesterday and we were not disappointed. The service was great, with a nice atmosphere and a nice bar. The tables are spread out pretty well, so you aren't on top of other people.
We ordered from the lunch menu, which appears to be a bit pricey, but for the amount of food you're getting, it's a great deal. Seriously, you'll end up with a big platter of whatever you order.
The food was nicely seasoned and presented very well, and the wait staff were very attentive.
If you're around that I-10 area of North West San Antonio, it's worth the stop.
I'll be back for sure.
What an amazing Christmas dinner with wonderful friends! Summer was the manager and she did a great job checking on us and making sure that we got out on time for our Christmas concert. Desiree was our waitress and kept our drinks full, food coming, and did it all with a beautiful smile as she gave us excellent customer service! We will definitely be back!!
Meal was on point as always. Drinks were made beautifully. Service unfortunately was lacking. Waiter Steven was so inamored by my friend that he ignored me on several trips to our table. Had to ask for straws, more chips, things that should have come out with our meal, but despite this, we enjoyed our experience.

We love to go to Papasitos. We would like to recommend this restuarant in San Antonio. Food is superb !! Service is excellent !! The manager Hector is always attentive to the need of the customer and always welcoming smile. Yesterday our server Jorgy do excellent job. Our drink always full and ask for we need. Not only that Papasitos always care about your safty. There is security in the parkinglot.

I’ll be honest, I’d never been to this restaurant before and thinking I didn’t want another Mexican restaurant. Hubby told me it was different so I gave it a try.
We started off with the snapper ceviche which had fish, shrimp and octopus with lime juice and seasoning served in a martini glass. Phenomenal!!! We could have eaten another order but with the cost of about $16.00, we passed on the idea.
We shared the combo plate of beef fajitas, quail and shrimp brochettes. Wow, just wow……! Just know you will pay for it at the price around $40.00 but worth it if you don’t come here often. That beef may have been the most tender beef I’d ever eaten. Did not expect that whatsoever. That quail? It was honey glazed and deliciously tender. Again, shocked at how good it was. Lastly, the shrimp brochettes were tasty. The plate came with guacamole, pico and a small dish of garlic sauce along with homemade tortillas.
The other plate was the Redfish on a half shell, $36.00. Another phenomenal dish! The redfish was topped with shrimp, charred avocado and some sauce. The redfish was tender, juicy and meaty. Fresh, fresh and delicious! A keeper, for sure.
Lastly, we finished the meal off with their tres leches dessert, $9.00. For me, it was way too sweet. They had charred their homemade whipped cream on top but both the whipped cream and cake were achingly sweet. I wouldn’t order this again. The only thing we didn’t enjoy but maybe others like super sweet desserts.
With 2 drinks, an app, two meals and a dessert, the total was around $150.00 not including a generous tip. Yes, very expensive for a night out at a non-fancy restaurant with lots of noise and huge crowds, but we’ll come back for the food on rare occasions. Too expensive for regular frequency.
You know from the outside looking in it seems like a tourist trap. Big Mexican Food chain with lots of color and a huge bar. But I was so wrong, Papasitos food was well prepared, served in huge shareable servings and tasted great. We had the nights special, beef fajitas and shrimp. The shrimps were large and the beef Fajitas were tender and well seasoned. The restaurant looks bigger from the outside, so we had an hour wait on a Saturday night that just mentioned we were able to sample drinks for the review. I had a great michalada with a Dos XX, a frozen Magarita, and a Wave Magarita (Sangria and Magarita mix) all were excellent. The music was playing and the atmosphere was great. Parasites could not be blamed for the heat but they did have shade and large fans outside as we sat and enjoyed our drinks.
We were staying close by the restaurant but we were hesitant to try it because we thought it may be a tourist trap. But we decided to try it because it was late and nothing else was open. Oh! We were so so happy with the food! We regretted to going sooner but we learned our lesson. The meat quality was very good and the cheese was to die for! Can’t wait to go back!
Dined in last Saturday evening and it was great. We were seated at table 11 and our waitress was Rhiannon M. She was awesome. Excellent service!!! Our order was perfect and she was very friendly and attentive. We also saw her interaction with the table next to us and she was so sweet and likeable. She deserves some kind of recognition. We will be dining there again soon and hopefully she will be our server.
My FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT in town!!!
The atmosphere is great!! It can get a little bit crowded and loud to the point you’re shouting to the person across your table because it’s just soo loud. The drinks!! Ohhh my goodness gracious. Gotta be careful because they are big and delicious. You kinda forget that you’re drinking alcohol. And the chips and salsa!! Sooo good. The chips are light and warm when they arrive to your table.
Came here during the Hatch Green Chile season and their dishes were soo good. Was definitely hard to choose. Overall, will be coming back. This place is a must!

Sunday afternoon, I have to admit, was supposed to be Greek day for me and my partner. But as it turned out, the place we usually go was closed. Pappasitos was on my want to go list, so off we went. Very convenient to our home I might add.
By the time we arrived, we were hungry as lumberjacks and ready to go. A nice warm bowl of chips and two temperatures of salsa arrived quickly to save our day. Nice thin, crispy chips and delicious salsa.
We quickly placed our cocktail order (2 watermelon margs on the rocks) and our entrees. Tacos al Carbon Pollo for me and Beef/Chicken Fajitas for my girl. We both thought the margs were way too sweet with a poor pour (lol-sorry) of tequila.
Entrees arrived and I discovered I had flour tortillas the size of burrito wraps. Unfortunately, the filling was made for taco sized tortillas, so I had two empty ends on each taco.
On first taste, my chicken was tough and had chars that were mostly salt. I added some guac and pico and after trimming down the empty ends of the tortilla, I tried again and was met with delicious, juicy chicken. So a fluke in one of the chicken pieces. Same deal with taco number 2.
My date reported the beef portion of her fajitas were delicious, but the chicken seemed a little undercooked.
Sides for both of us were charro beans and Spanish rice. My beans needed a little salsa to cheer them up and my date reported her beans were too salty. Both of us disliked the gummy, chewy rice. Obviously left in a warmer too long.
Despite our complaints, our server was amazing and attentive.
All in all, we really wanted to love Pappasitos and put them in the running with our 3 other fave Tex-Mex joints, but we couldn't do it. In the future, we'd suggest a little training for the bartender, forget wrapping the tacos al carbon and just bring tortillas in a server like fajitas, and lastly, pay some attention to how long rice sits in a warmer.
We ordered a platter which came with their new lamb and wow it was delicious. My wife and I couldn't finish it and definitely took the leftovers home. Gilbert was our waiter and he was excellent 👌 even the manager came to our table to see how the food was. Its a friendly atmosphere with great drinks, high quality food and friendly staff. I recommend this place to anyone. Even when more customers arrived, Gilbert made sure to check on us. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Please give Gilbert a raise, please continue to make delicious food because I'll definitely be coming back with my wife.
Absolutely fabulous service! Our server Priscilla was excellent; very kind, friendly, and accommodating! The food was great and was very fresh. The manager Mike was also very accommodating. He came over to ensure that my food would be make without cross contact from gluten. Overall, it was a fabulous experience, it’s too bad they don’t have Pappasito’s in Maryland. Whenever we return to Texas, I’ll be sure to come back again.
The customer service was great I got the food to go order was perfect. Of course the food was delicious 😎Best chips and salsa
This place was amazing. The service here was impeccable, and the food was delicious with ridiculously huge portions. I ordered the shrimp brochette meal, and when the server was bringing it to me, they apparently dropped a shrimp. I wouldn't have even noticed this if they hadn't told me, but the server immediately apologized. A few minutes later, the manager came over to apologize and gave me a whole new order of shrimp brochette (in addition to the remaining shrimp I already had) AND gave our table a free dessert.
My husband and I always come here when we drive in from Corpus Christi. We decided to eat dinner here this evening 11/3/2023 and had the best experience ever. Our waiter was Matthew G and he was very attentive and constantly checking on us. We definitely will not forget his name and how well we were treated.
Had the tamales for an appetizer. This was so good! Had the chicken/beef fajitas. The beef was medium rare, how I like it. The chicken was good, should have gotten the shrimp instead. The desert was very good. Just barely had enough room for the ice cream. Plenty of parking. There’s a security guard that go around the parking lot in a golf cart. Still, do hide your valuables or lock them in the truck.
Food was great. Drinks were great. Service was great. Good tamales. I wasn’t happy when a bus tray was left beside my table full of dirty dishes for the remainder of our dinner though.
