Description

Famous for their fajitas, Pappasito’s has been a staple of Houston dining for generations.

At sit-down service, tamales and enchiladas are available, and margaritas are practically a requirement here. Mexican and Tex-Mex brunch favorites like migas and huevos rancheros are served on the weekend.
