This place is just like the rest of the fancy mexican food places...over priced and lacking taste. Drinks are good though.

As far as the Pappa's restaurants go this is the worst. Try another Mexican restaurant if you have options.

I remember when Pappasito's used to make their salsa differently than they do now. I believe they have copied their recipe (or maybe an unloyal chef from the-other-mexican-restaurant have brought the recipe along with them to Pappasito's) of the salsa & chips. Pappasito's salsa used to be like a marina sauce dip but, now it's like my UNCLE'S...(need I say more?!!)

Fun place with average quality food, slow service, and a full parking lot. If your taste goes to the standard tex mex plates of enchiladas, rice, and beans, you'll probably like it here.

Great curb appeal: easily spotted from the highway, adjacent to the far superior Pappadeaux seafood restaurant.

You want Tex-Mex. You really want it in a place that makes you feel light the food tastes. Stop, your here.
All the Pappas resturants are good and this one very good. One of our favorites. For the out of town town guest that wants that unique taste of Texas - take them here.

I think there's good Tex-Mex food at Papasito's! I did NOT care for the noise and the fact that we had to clean our own silverware, TWICE. I'd recommend taking your own plastic, but at the above average prices you'd expect better cleanliness and service.

Here are two phrases..."authentic mexican" and "tex-mex". Notice how there are similarities in these two phrases. Notice also that there are DIFFERENCES. That's the magic of language.
Don't complain that a Greek restaurant isn't Lebanese enough for you. Don't complain when an Italian restaurant doesn't serve Hot-Pockets. Don't expect a tex-mex restaurant to serve authentic mexican food.
One would think that people with their noses turned up that far would catch some of those wonderful smells coming from the Pappasito's kitchen. Sit back and enjoy the wonderful food for what it is, instead of complaining about what it wasn't trying to be in the first place.

We were disappointed during our visit. Food was hot - too hot. I expect Tex-Mex to have a certain zing but this meal could have launched the Space Shuttle. The service was below par.

I guess if you are not from Texas, you might consider this good Mexican food. Frankly, I've had better from cans. If you like bland food and noisy atmosphere then this is the place for you.

Great fun noisy crowded atmosphere; big menu, good food; slow (overworked wait staff) service. A fun place to bring visitors.

Good but not great TexMex. Atmosphere better than the food, but after a few "swirls" or Margaritas, who cares? The best entree is the Camarones Diablo, skewered shrimps with bacon and hot pepper. Probably the most popular Tex Mex place in the area, if that's how you measure quality. Parking can be a problem.

The food is very good. My favorites are the El paso and Laredo platters. The chips and salsa are complimentary and excellent. Who cares if its authentic when it is this good.

Awesome Tex-Mex. Great atmosphere. Another Pappa winner. Childrens menu is a bit weak. Not much to choose from if your kids don't like tex-mex. They need to add a burger or corndog type entry for the little ones.

The chips and the salsa are the best thing here. This place has to be in the top ten furthest from Mexican. They don't use the typical ingredients of Mexican cooking (i.e. cilantro, corn tortillas). Carne Asada was very good but the Tacos Al Carbon contained the meat and nothing more! Unfortunatly we are beginning to realize that most Dallas residents really believe this is considered Mexican food. Desperately searching for a real Mexican restuarant...

This one has to be in the top 10 for Mexican. Salsa and chips are good. Great Shrimp and Fajitas and the beans are also fantastic. A bit loud and usually crowded at peak times but so are all the other places. Many locations around the metroplex. I put it at the top of the list.
