Little Pappasito's Cantina

Tex-Mex restaurant · Upper Kirby

@eater

"A part of the Pappas franchise, Pappasito’s Cantina has been serving up Tex-Mex fare since the 1970s, and it’s fair to say they know what Houstonians like. Homemade tortilla chips with warm red salsa are hard to resist, but appetizers like chicharrones con queso and the sweet and spicy ribs are worthy starters. Tacos and enchiladas are fool-proof options, but here, the fajitas are the star of the show. Choose between steak, typically cooked medium, well-seasoned chicken, grilled quail, or shrimp. Can’t decide? Get a platter with a sampling of each, and round out your meal with a tres leches." - Brittany Britto Garley
