"Part of the Pappas franchise, Pappasito’s Cantina knows what Houstonians like, having served up Tex-Mex fare since the 1970s. Homemade tortilla chips with warm red salsa are hard to resist, but appetizers like the snapper ceviche and the smoked arbol 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 slice of tres leches." - Brianna Griff
