Chicken and Steak fajitas . Some of the best I have ever had. Must stop if staying at nearby hotel !

Donna Brown

Only Mexican food that was open. They had one menu item which was the first heat has. We did the steak and chicken and they were awesome. Some of the best fajitas I've ever tasted.

Jacob Jose

The best tres leches I have tasted in Dallas (compared to other Pappasitos and some bakeries near downtown Dallas). 2x quail dishes can feed 3 people. Decent value for money .

Barbara

Wow! Wed 1/2 price fajitas & had to have them to go bc there was too much. When I got back opened the to go bag and they give me 8 tortillas , new chips & salsa , rice and beans! Almost double the food!

Ed

The one I keep going to is on the east side of I75 in Richardson right next to Pappadeaux. I've been to the DFW AP location as well . I like the seafood enchiladas and shakes .

Dallas Foodie (Danielle G.)

Get their Pappasito's Salad with fajita beef and the onions caramelized . It's so good I featured it in my Quest for the Best Salads in Dallas (http://bit.ly/130C0NU).

Bart P

Get the fajitas , then soak up all the juice with the tortillas when you're done. Some of the best fajitas and margaritas around.

Alex Gronbach

Ordered the quail , was not disappointed! Although pricey it was quite good. Make sure to get 3 quail , not 2 as they don't have much meat on each bird.

Dean Erickson

Good food and good drinks. Just a not so trained staff .

AJ T.

The service at this place was pretty outstanding, I have to say! Food was excellent too!

Always good. Ginormous portions. Chile relleno my fav!

Tabitha Scott

Ok so hands down the best dip in the known world! Casio blanco with chicken ! Try it. Love it.

Keith @ SellMyDallasHouse.com

Super busy, and not cheap , but good!!

Brian Dean

When weather agrees, ask for a table on the patio . Bacon wrapped shrimp is outstanding!

Evie Salinas

Our waitress was sweet (Peggy). First time there wasn't the best experience but they really did their best to make it better.

Jeff M

Literally the best fajitas I have ever had in my life!

Andrew Anderson

So yummy steak fajitas amazing

Victoria Mone't

Good food & drinks... $$$ though

Gina Geasa

Half price fajita night is not quite half price. Chicken fajitas are $18.95 (not quite half price) and for combo where it is half price they charge you an upstage for beef ? WTH?

Barbara

Tons of food!

Joe Moore

Ask for the pimp cup.

Real Posh Mom
