" As someone who loves Tex-Mex, I was eager to try Pappasito’s. I found the atmosphere cheerful, but I have to say I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The food was decent but not as flavorful as I had anticipated. I tried the shrimp tacos, and while they were good, they did not stand out compared to other places. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which was a plus, and their cocktails were delightful. I may give them another try down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week was my first time at Pappasito’s, and I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable my experience was. I ordered the fajitas, which came highly recommended, and they did not disappoint! The portions were more than ample, and I loved how they served them sizzling hot on a skillet. The flavors were robust and quite authentic if you ask me. Service was also exceptionally friendly, and we even got a sign of appreciation from the manager for our patience during our wait. I will definitely return for another bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I went to Pappasito's for dinner, and the experience was generally a good one! The food was well-prepared and tasted quite fresh. I enjoyed the fajitas, as they were presented beautifully and brought out sizzling. The only drawback was that they took a little while to prepare. The service was friendly, and we enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a fun dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Pappasito's several times, and I think it’s safe to say it's one of my favorite spots for Tex-Mex in San Antonio. The seating arrangement is spacious, and the décor adds to the festive atmosphere. On my last visit, I ordered the beef fajitas and they were outstanding! The meat was tender, and the flavors just burst with every bite. I also tried their famous queso fundido which was creamy and indulgent. My only complaint would be regarding some wait times, as the restaurant can get pretty busy during peak hours. However, the quality of food definitely makes it worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! My partner and I decided to stop by Pappasito’s after hearing great things about their fajitas. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly by our server who was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the snapper ceviche, which was fresh and zesty, a great appetizer to share. For mains, we went with the chicken and beef fajitas. The portion sizes were more than enough for two, and everything tasted cooked to perfection. The tortillas were handmade and warm, and we couldn't resist asking for more. Even though the place was bustling, we received attentive and prompt service. We will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend going here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Pappasito's recently after hearing good reviews, and while the food was decent, it didn't blow me away. I had the shrimp tacos, and they were tasty, but I felt they were lacking in spice. The place itself was quite packed, which made for a lively atmosphere, but we ended up sitting too close to the bar, which was a bit distracting. Service was acceptable but not extraordinary. I might give it another shot, but I'm not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pappasito's was recommended by friends, and I can see why! The atmosphere was bustling, and the décor gave off a festive vibe. I ordered the beef fajitas which were incredible! They came out sizzling hot and were packed with flavor. The portion size was more than satisfying, as there were leftovers to take home. One issue was the service; it took a while for our drinks to arrive, but the tasty food made up for it! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Tex-Mex. " (*Curated Review*)
