worst management in Sugar Land 2/14/2009

I arrived at Pappasitos at approx. 5:40. I put my name on the waiting list because I was told that it would only take 45 minute wait. I understand that today was Valentime day and they were busy. What I didn't like is that the girls upfront kept lying to me. After one hour I went back upto the front to see where I was on the waiting list. My 5 year old grandson was with me along with my husband. The girls said that it would be about 20 more minutes and we could be seated. After 2 hours my grandson and all of us were starving, so I approached the girl upfront again and again I was told they just had 4 people in front of us and it would be any minute now. That was after two hours. After two and half hours I was tired hungry and furious. The girls then told me that it would still be another 30 minutes. This has got to be poor management on their part. I will tell everyone that will listen to me in Sugar Land not to ever go into that restaurant again. We left after 2 1/2 hours and went to the Jack in the Box. Thanks Poppositos for a great Valentime. I will never give you one penny of my money ever again. more

Very mediocre, over priced Tex Mex 7/12/2008

Note to self; Self, do not eat at Mexican Restaurant CHAINS again. There are a lot of good Tex-Mex choices in Sugar Land/Missouri City/Stafford area. Pappsitos is not one of them. Pros: The Chips were not over salted Cons: Tasted like a TV dinner.....slathered in cilantro more

DELICIOUS! 8/24/2007

one of my favorite mexican restaurants ever. very nice environment. my favorite dish would be the nacho appetizers - i just order them as an entree. you'll probably have to wait in the evening so i suggest going for lunch. one of my friends has a job here as well - i hear this is also a great place to work. more

rapidly falling downhill 10/15/2006

After several visits ,I will never waist my time with these people again.They are constantly out of what I order,and they charge extra for cheese and sour cream on fajitas even though they already charge $14.00 for chicken.My nachos had no peppers And they charged me extra for them.The manager was indifferent and offered to take the charge off for the peppers.The point is that this is a cheap,sleazy way to do business and has no place in a supposidly upscale tex-mex restaurant.Poor service and weak drinks add to my disappointment. Pros: parking, nice patio Cons: service, quality, price more

Exceptional, reliable Tex-Mex! 12/27/2005

I was raised in Houston but now live in NY & I almost always try to dine here when I visit. My NYer husband finally got to taste Pappasito's outstanding Tex-Mex this past trip & it lived up to the hype! (We came last yr for dinner but left cuz of long wait, this time we came for lunch, so I recommend lunch if long waits turn you off). From the delectable chips & salsa to the large entrees, everything here is supremely tasty. My mom & I shared a holiday special for 2, the Festivo, which was beef&chicken fajitas, stuffed shrimp & lobster. YUM. I usually get the fajitas, the margaritas are great too & the tortillas are always fresh & warm. A favorite! Pros: YUMMY FOOD, large portions, margaritas Cons: Long evening waits more

Great tex mex 5/28/2002

I eat tex mex food every week. Papasitios is one of my faves. Not the cheapest but the portions are very large. You will need a to go boxmost likely. The margaritas are good and don't give you a headache like some cheaper places do. This is not ""Mexican"" food. If your looking for real meexican food got to c&d taco in baytown. Tex mex is what most people expect here though and papasitos is one of the best at that more
