There's only four words I can tell you about this place, and probably the only reason why I come to this place:Half priced Fajita Wednesdays.That's it! End of review. Thanks for your time! JkOver all these years of coming to any Pappasito's, the only reason why I come to Pappasito's is the half priced fajita wednesdays. What place can you go to and enjoy their delicious fajitas... for half price!You can get all chicken, all beef, or half chicken and half beef, along with the mexican rice, beans any way you like it, the guacamole, pico de gallo, butter on the side, shredded cheese, chips, salsa, all the good stuff!

I'm from Houston - so I know good Mexican food. I am a Stan for Pappasito's - it's a chain but I love it. I didn't know that this is the original location so I was happy to go!We sat at the bar and watched the game. We ordered the fajitas - but little did I know on Tuesday they have a deal - so I know we were in for a good time. Literally there was so much food it wasn't even funny. The food was so fresh and the steak & chicken were extra juicy. Let me tell you I definitely took left overs and took them for lunch the next day. This location, did not disappoint. Will definitely be visiting again!

This is my favorite Pappasito's in ALL of Houston Texas. This is also the original Pappasito's. Lots of free parking here. The bar here is a bit small BUT this restaurant has a HH Monday-Friday, so go. I recently did a week BDay celebration and husband and I went to this restaurant on. Tuesday for dinner. Guess what this Pappasito's currently has a Tuesday and Wednesday Fajitas special that is dine in ONLY. Beef & Chicken fajitas, beans, rice guacamole and flour tortillas for $29.95. !!That and a frozen margarita for $3.95 was a great dinner. Then all the servers came and sang Happy Birthday to me and gave me a complimentary dessert!! Wow, what a great dinner. I highly recommend this place.

I ordered Combo Fajitas togo on Saturday and Chicken Enchiladas with red chili sauce togo on Monday night. For the fajitas meal, the steak fajitas were very delicious, charbroiled in taste, juicy, soft, good quality, consistent and seasoned really well. Not too cooked either. They had some pull n bite without being chewy or too mushy. Best beef fajitas of all along with Lupe T and Good Company Taqueria imo. However, the chicken fajitas had no taste or seasoning, but I mostly got the combo instead of all beef to save money n calories too. The rice was very soft, fresh and mild but tasty. The beans were decent in taste, but too runny. The tortillas were soft n fresh. The pico and grated cheddar were very good n fresh as well. The chicken enchiladas meal I got two days later was very delicious, contained a lot of soft shredded chicken, had a nicely flavorful sauce and tender corn wraps. The sauce was a little sweet, smoky n tangy all in one and the double rice went perfectly with it. Great, efficient service on both visits.

Pretty nut-allergy friendly, but I'd let your server know just in case.I'm not sure what Kody is saying below - half price fajitas are still a thing for Tuesdays AND Wednesdays at this location. It's only the two-person $30 size, though. Arrived at 7PM on a Tuesday evening. Relatively empty but they seemed short staffed because it still took 5-10 minutes for a hostess to return and I was still delayed because there were no clean menus. After being seated, chips and salsa were quickly served (3 servings for 5 people, nice!). However, we never got the last two sets of utensils as they ran out and never came back. We had to go hunt some down. Ordered two of the half price fajitas for five people (one light eater). They came out relatively quickly (15ish minutes?). Sour cream and cheese cost extra. Two orders of fajitas only came out with one order of beans and rice, but this was sufficient for us and our server said they'd bring more if we needed it (I like this - saving food waste). Food was decent. The steak was a bit burned at the end. One might say nicely charred. Tortillas were a bit small.There were some misses in service - water took a long time to be refilled; we asked for salsa once (they took our chips and salsa away when we got the fajitas) and it never came back; and the utensils problem I wrote about earlier.Overall, I'd come back for half price fajitas but at menu price, I don't know if I'd recommend it. There was also a very loud corporate event going on in the main area while we were there.

Is this place delicious? Yes. Is it expensive? Very. Fajita prices have been soaring in Houston and Pappasito's was no exception. Service and food was amazing as always though. I haven't been here in years and had a gift card so I took a friend to lunch. We got enchilada, fajitas, and queso. The queso was nothing special but my friend wanted it. The fajitas were outstanding (steak buttery and chicken moist) and the tortillas were the softest things ever. We ended up taking half the food home which could be another meal in itself. Next time I'm getting a margarita!

I have no pictures but it was so flavorful and good I finished it cold. I walked in during lunch hours and did a takeout order. I was greeted with smiles and kindness. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla. It was hot fresh and full of shrimp. The onions were cooked to perfection and the guacamole was fresh and paired well with the quesadilla. I couldn't finish it so I ate half and packed the rest. Half way through my trip I got a little hungry and the other half was calling my name and I answered. That's how I know someone is good when you can eat it cold. I'm excited to go back. I will definitely be back!

My brother wanted to celebrate his birthday here so we visited on a Saturday at 11 am opening time. The parking lot is plentiful and the pathway to the entrance is nicely decorated with greenery & plants. There was a security guard present as well.Everyone greeted us as we walked in which was nice! Our waiter Jaylon was friendly and attentive throughout the whole time & the manager/supervisor stopped by to check on us too.They provide complimentary chips & salsa but I wasn't a big fan. My toddler loved it despite it having a kick. We ordered the beef/chicken fajitas, fajita beef quesadillas, plato mariachi (2 tamales & very large crispy ixtapa beef taco), chicken tenderloins/fries & Mac & cheese for the kids.Everyone enjoyed their food overall & the portions were large. For me, the crispy ixtapa beef taco was decent but not great. I enjoyed the tamales better but one of them was a little dry as well as the rice. I would probably ordered a different entree next time.The bathrooms were clean and had a changing table in both.Overall, it was a good experience and appreciated the great service!

Another Father's Day with the family at Pappasito's. So lucky to be able to share a special family dinner with four generations including my daughter and her cousin who both came home to celebrate with their grandpa and dad. When the girls were little this was a popular Sunday family dinner choice, so it was fun to hear them reminisce about when they were young. Grabbing baskets of steamy hot fresh tortillas while we waited for the fajitas. Table-side guacamole and chips. Making little sculpture masterpieces out of tortilla dough. Wearing the big sombrero as the staff sang Happy Birthday Pappasito's style over a delicious slice of Tres Leches or a scoop of ice cream. Creating more special memories over fajitas, salads, quesadillas and, of course, guacamole.For the carnivores, the mixed chicken and beef fajitas are a solid choice. Love how they still do the $29.99 fajita special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after 4. For my vegetarian/pescatarian daughters, their vegetarian fajitas are delicious, too. Get the black beans which are vegetarian friendly. Although our family always tries not to fill up on chips, the guacamole is sooo fresh and so good. Hard not to order to start our meal. The salad with a lime vinaigrette is good, but seems a lot smaller than I remember. My in-laws also enjoyed their quesadillas. Buy a gift card for $50 and get a bonus $10 or $20 gift card for your next visit specials happen several times throughout the year. Thanks to Brian for taking care of our growing family. We will be back to make more special memories.

Best restaurant experience I've ever had! Our waiter was amazing and the food was 9/10. I got the non-spirited cantaloupe drink and it was GREAT! The little cantaloupe slice was the best cantaloupe I had and the waiter even gave me a bowl of the small slices after! Will absolutely be returning.
