Food was REALLY good but the drinks were pretty bad.
Service was also good, the waitress was nice, friendly, and made some good recommendations. Food tasted great.
Ordered 2 margaritas.. and it was basically just syrup and lime juice. Probably one of the worst margaritas I’ve ever had.

From just walking in the door, the environment was so welcoming! The host was so sweet, the gentleman handing out the “free stuff” was hilarious, and our waitress Katie was totally outstanding! This was our first choice of resturants after moving into town this week and it didn’t disappoint! Steak and chicken was on point! But shout-out too our waitress Katie, for the amazing service and our fire salsa! The spicier the better

Huge restaurant with always lots of seating. Great service every time. Food is consistently good. Amazing chips and salsa. Sopapillas are fantastic. Also recommend the Apple pie dessert. Really like the patio too.

We stopped here for dinner while heading to Lake o’ Pines for a weekend getaway, and it came recommended as a spot to eat while passing through Longview. We’re so glad we made the stop.
The staff was warm, attentive, and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was stunning inside, boasting two floors of dining space. For an appetizer, we ordered the 7-layer dip, which was absolutely phenomenal—especially when paired with their homemade chips dusted with chili sauce. As a delightful bonus, they brought out warm flour tortillas with honey and butter alongside the chips, which was a treat.
Our entrees were just as impressive. The chile rellenos with beans and rice were a standout, though the rice was a touch dry and could’ve used more flavor—perhaps a sprinkle of queso would’ve livened it up. The beef and cheese chimichanga, on the other hand, was perfection.
To top it off, they offer an extensive lineup of margarita flavors. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area.

This is my favorite restaurant, and it’s not even close. When a place is run with the kind of passion and commitment SpongeBob SquarePants would approve of, you know you’re in good hands.
Michael L goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. His energy, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set the tone. Highly recommend.

We had a birthday dinner for a friend and were pleasantly surprised by how helpful, congenial and organized the staff were. The party was held in one of the upstairs rooms. The tables were already set up as requested for the event and we were offered assistance with our decorations. The drinks and buffet were positioned in the hallway and the food was absolutely delicious. Our group of 30 attendees had a wonderful time and could not have been more pleased. I highly recommend Papacita’s for any event you may have coming up!

First and foremost, Michael L. is the backbone of this restaurant. He truly represents Papacita’s excellence. Michael L. has a great attitude and is an amazing employee. I also heard that he has been a loyal team member, working at Papacita’s since 2020 and putting in six days a week.
In my humble opinion, Michael deserves a raise or some kind of recognition. He is exactly what every company wants in an employee: hardworking, respectful, reliable, and a man of integrity.

Dined at Papacitas for the 1st time in 30 years with my teenagers, it’s even better now than it was back then. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. Our server Katie was among the best I’ve ever had, very sweet and very attentive. Thank you all for an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend, and when you go, ask for Katie! She’ll take good care you!
