Came to this eatery around 2 P.M.

Mr. Manny, our waiter, was very cordial. The staff appeared to work well amongst each other, too

Great ground beef and such fresh soft flour tortillas!!!

I didn’t like my chicken taco, though. The shredded chicken was over cooked and the red sauce used in it was too overwhelming.

Overall, it was tasty!

Wow. I love going to pappasitos any chance i get, the food there is amazing and the service is even better. I recently went and my servers name was Jannah i believe, she was so sweet and easy to talk to. Not to mention the freshness of the food there. You can tell the chips and tortillas are made fresh and this is my favorite mexican food in dfw!! go check it out..

I chose the right place to celebrate my birthday! There was a lot of energy in that place, I was grateful to be seated in a room towards the back where it was a little bit more quiet. My three friends and I shared the family platter, and it was worth every penny. We even took home leftovers. Thank you Pappassito’s!

Really good food. Everything was delicious, especially the margaritas. Hands down, best lamb chop I’ve ever had. Service was excellent, and food came out quick. Which was a good thing cause I could have easily gotten full off of chips and salsa. This is not a cheap meal. Be prepared to pay out a hundred or two for a family of 4, but well worth it.

Update! We went to day to give them another chance. Even though our server was extremely busy he was attentive and polite. I have food Allergies so He immediately let the manager know. The manager Britney was great and she make sure it wasn’t any cross contamination with my food. Definitely our experience today was amazing and we will be back. Our server was amazing but I can’t recall his name. We went to celebrate my birthday

Server was polite however if you needed a refill or anything had to let her know in other locations they are more attentive. Rice, beans and chicken lacked seasoning. They forgot the sour cream and cheese for our fajitas. Beef fajitas, shrimp and ribs were delicious my husband loved them. Let server know about my pork allergy, manager came to my table and let me know that the grilled shrimp is wrapped on bacon something the server didn’t told us while ordering. Manager offered the butterflied shrimp instead and we agreed. Even though it was their mistake for not letting us know at the beginning they Charged me $14.95 for 4 butterflied shrimp instead of doing a substitution. Overall not a great experience to celebrate our 19 anniversary. Austin location is great.

We went to the Richardson location and celebrated my mom’s birthday and had an amazing time. The service was awesome and the food absolutely delicious. We ordered the family fajitas and each meat tasted better than the other. The restaurant manager, Venous, came by and checked on us a few times and I have to say her personality, professionalism, and warm smile just made the experience that much better. I commend management for hiring her and providing such a great environment for customers. Thank you for a memorable night Venous and team, and we plan on coming back real soon. – Ramin

I’ve never had bad service at Pappasito’s but Nathan, our server, was Over-The-Top fantastic! You could tell he loves his job. He went out of his way to tell us about their outside skirt beef, even asked the chef to make us a sample (it was delicious!). The Fajitas were great, as usual. That butter sauce… To die for. What a great experience… And I’ll be doing it again Friday before I return to NC.

I had been craving papacitos all day so I decided to take my family there today.
I am honestly shocked by how bad our experience at Papacito’s was today. From the moment we got there, they put us in a corner by the window, which we were freezingthe whole time.

After waiting forever to place our order,
we waited an extremely long time for our food, over 45 minutes, when we arrived there was hardly anyone there so for us to have to wait that long— this was excessive. We were sitting there so long with no updates that we were on the verge of walking out. At one point, we genuinely debated leaving because it didn’t seem like our food was ever coming.

When the food finally arrived, it was shocking how poor the quality was. The portions were noticeably small, we ordered the same thing before and had a great amount of food in the past, we ordered fajas for two. It looked like they brought us fajitas for one! Even worse, the food was cold — not slightly cooled off, but clearly cold, as if it had been sitting in the kitchen for a long time before being brought to us. There was no steam, no warmth — nothing that suggested it had just been prepared. After finishing the food we were still so hungry because of the small portion we had received.

The most concerning part was the fries my young daughter had ordered. They had a distinct soapy, chemical-like taste that was impossible to ignore. It honestly made me question whether the cooking oil was old or if there was some kind of cleaning residue involved. It was so unpleasant that we couldn’t eat them at all. That’s not just a quality issue — that’s concerning.

Throughout the entire meal, no one came by to check on us. No one asked how the food was, no one refilled drinks, and no one seemed to notice (or care) that we were clearly unhappy. The lack of attentiveness made an already bad situation feel even worse.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely alarming. Between the extremely long wait, cold and undersized portions, fries that tasted like soap, and completely inattentive service, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I truly hope management looks into what’s going on, because something is seriously wrong.

Great Tex Mex option if the mood strikes. Easy parking option. Friendly and attentive staff. The interior is showing signs of aging so personality/ambiance is mid. But the food and portions are undeniable!
