The service at Pappasito's is great! I went here twice for different layovers and both times the staff was helpful and fast. Plus, the chicken quesadilla is crispy , cheesy, and delicious!
Long line that is comparable to Panda Express but this is what people come to Houston for! If you got time, definitely come here for your layover meal.
Somewhat expensive , but the portions are HUGE and pretty good. I had a Coronado and I couldn't finish it. The Quesadillas are also really good. I give this place a 3 out of 5.
As a Mexican I can say that this place has tasty food. Is not that amazing, but it is something. Good tortillas and steaks .
service was awesome! seated during rush within 5 minutes.. food was out timely and delicious...little pricey but you get what you pay for!
Delicious fresh fajitas w juicy chicken , tender flame grilled steak show the best of local true TexMex . Add a sweetened ice tea . Makes Canuck steak squirm.
Breakfast tacos are great and the Cancun has not become a dinner staple. Cooked to order, so make sure you have 5 min to spare.
Best food in terminal E! The Cancun burrito was fantastic (and not just for airport food ). I want a Houston layover more often.
Sad that Pappadeaux did not open until 8am. Papasito's is in the nearby food court and is part of the same chain. Great breakfast burrito with sausage .
Warnings to vegetarians : Sauce, rice , and refried beans all have animal stock. Ask for black beans . Queso sauce is only meat-free sauce.
Delish fresh grilled fish tacos . Breakfast burrito is reasonably priced and good portions.
Always been a fan of the fish tacos !
Grilled fish tacos are excellent and worth the wait... best food in the airport for me.
Quick and friendly service ! The chicken fajita platter is Texas size! The tres leches dessert is huge. Good food.
Pappasito's Cantina is locally family owned & operated and serves Tex-Mex favorites, Texas size. Very generous & tasty portions!
Fajita steak tacos are just as good here as the ones in the city . 100% best restaurant at IAH!
Unlike Utah, the margaritas here actually have plenty of alcohol , so don't drink them if you are my pilot.
Barbacoa burrito hits the spot, and Michael the manager makes you feel right at home.
If you're having to eat in an airport , there's a pretty good chance that you're already underwhelmed by your status. A friendly cashier can go a long way. Thanks, Shannon.
Get a burrito . Just enough to fill you up for much less than the plates. I like the Cancun.
The breakfast burritos and tacos here are the best breakfast in the entire airport .
A very skimpy version but keeping in mind that it's in a food court inside the airport ...
Cancun burrito is delicious. Also try guacamole and chips .
Best grilled fish taco in Houston
It's by E1 and the servers were very nice. Had the Monterrey burrito , was decent
Best food in the airport . Hands down.
much closer to a Taco Cabana. no Bueno
Imagine a so-so Chipotle or an above-average Chi-Chi's with strong margaritas and an oddly flirtatious staff .
Great service in an airport , who knew? I'll be back!
Have the beef plater#4 so good.
This is a nice place 2 eat if u have time between flights in terminal E @ IAH.
The burrito was only OK. Better than the food on the plane but nothing to write home about...
They claim breakfast ends at 10 am, but it actually never ends! Ask for their breakfast burritos all day
The fish tacos take a bit longer to make, but they're worth the wait!
Try the Monterrey Burrito With Steak
Del Rio burrito paired with shiner . Nothing finer.
Beef fajitas , guac
Try fish tacos ! You won't regret! They are generous portions too!
Get one drink... refills are free
The barbacoa breakfast burrito is pretty great
Great place for fast Tex-Mex. I try to eat here whenever I pass through IAH!
The barbacoa breakfast taco is delish!
Breakfast burrito was the best I ever had!!
Super expensive , and avoid the fish tacos .
Try the Apple Pie
The service was so friendly . Thanks, Shannon!
