      Are the flour tortillas vegan?

      A:

      From what I've been able to find they are fine. If you want to be safe, the corn tortillas definitely are Vegan.

      I really enjoyed my time! My waiter was awesome! She gave great recommendations, explained menu along with tips, and was so courteous!
      The ambiance of Pappasitos makes you think fun, enjoying family time, and experiencing great food!
      This restaurant is in a private parking lot with security guarding the area. There is nearby construction so majority of parking is near the back but it's very well lit.
      I just ordered drinks and appetizer! Let's just say I was full! The food was fresh. My drinks were delicious. Whoever came up with the trio of margaritas was thinking smart and taste buds were on fire! They were definitely on to something! My nachos with guacamole tasted great! I definitely would love to return soon.

      After a dismal service experience our last visit, we were pleasantly surprised this trip. We had lunch at Pappasito's Memorial City location in Houston TX and Christina was our server. She was very courteous and professional. She anticipated our needs before we even asked. What a great lunch experience!! We'll be asking for her section on our next visit!

      The best Tex-mex in Houston! Travis was our server and he was super attentive to us and the surrounding tables he was waiting. The customer service was amazing and I hope to come back to this location simply because of how well we were treated. The outdoor seating was comfortable and quieter than the seating inside.

      It's Taco Tuesday and Pappasitos Cantina did not disappoint. For starters, the rib appetizer was tender, sweet, and spicy. The Baja shrimp tacos were topped with a crunchy slaw that was seasoned perfectly and the beef tacos were crunchy, yummy goodness.

      The atmosphere was lively as always and the customer service was great. Our waitress Alejandra was super attentive and she kept our drink glasses full.

      What a great dining experience on a Sunday afternoon!!! Great eats and great vibes!!! The parking was very convenient and the waitstaff was full of hospitable smiles. Our waitress Ti-Shawnna (pronounced Tee) was very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind spirited. Normally I go by the philosophy of when in Rome do what the Romans do; however, I ventured into a different menu choice. The skewer of Lamb chops were grilled medium-well ....so tender, juicy, and seasoned with a great pepper blend. The grilled veggies, rice/beans combination gave the ultimate entree. The wife had the Red fish on a half shell, which was full of mouth watering flavors that consisted of pico, grilled shrimp, and fresh guac...gold star to the chef & 5 star a enjoyable dining experience!!! Enjoy!!

      Can't believe I have missed reviewing this location especially after my last experience a few months ago.

      Coworkers and I have ventured here for happy hours a few times and enjoyed ourselves. Their margarita flight is good in my books. I think this place and the food is very much overpriced than typical Mexican flare but doesn't taste much different to warrant the up-charge.

      This place is overall 3 star, the food is 3 star; the beef fajitas...maybe 4. Service tsk tsk...

      The last time I was in here for a team goodbye happy hour. Now we're a mixed bag as far as racial makeup is concerned and during this day, I definitely was treated second tier. We had two servers, one female and male. The female server was walking away from an older coworker and I had beaconed her to order something more. As I was speaking to her, the aforementioned older coworker at the other end of the table, beaconed her back. This server immediately walked away from me mid-talking to address my coworker. The male server was off to the side and immediately clocked what happened. He made a chuckle and half ass excuse before asking me what I needed. However, I didn't witness anything funny. Now we all know why she did that, whether others want to admit or not. And I'm purposely not sharing the race of that coworker but it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

      Last time I checked, my money is green too and it isn't your business how long it is but neither it nor my plastic will ever decline!

      One of my most favorite restaurants. The food is always fresh- service is always good- portions are large- the patio atmosphere is very nice as well.

      If you haven't tried this place- do yourself a great favor- and go!!!

      Their beef fajitas are amazing. I get that almost every time I come here. My mom and I shared the beef fajita for one and it was more then enough for the two of us. The beef was cooked perfectly. I also ordered a to go beef fajita for one platter and they forgot the rice. I was a little upset about that because I paid $45 for it. Other then that everything was great & our service was great.
