Pappasito's Cantina

"Chill atmosphere not too loud . Tortilla chips are nice & light, taste fresh not salty . Salsa taste a bit bland . (best to mix it with queso.) Ordered the Shrimp fajitas Jalisco style yum! Best I’ve ever had. Large portions and the fajitas come with a garlic butter sauce sooo good! . I asked for a side of queso only to realize I didn’t need it at all because the Jalisco came covered in melted cheese. 9/10 would have been a 10 except for the giant pieces of onions (not for me). Realized afterwards this is the same chain as papadeaxs probably why the food and service was so great! 10/10 definitely recommend!"

"I’ll be honest, I’d never been to this restaurant before and thinking I didn’t want another Mexican restaurant. Hubby told me it was different so I gave it a try. We started off with the snapper ceviche which had fish, shrimp and octopus with lime juice and seasoning served in a martini glass. Phenomenal!!! We could have eaten another order but with the cost of about $16.00, we passed on the idea. We shared the combo plate of beef fajitas, quail and shrimp brochettes. Wow, just wow……! Just know you will pay for it at the price around $40.00 but worth it if you don’t come here often. That beef may have been the most tender beef I’d ever eaten. Did not expect that whatsoever. That quail? It was honey glazed and deliciously tender. Again, shocked at how good it was. Lastly, the shrimp brochettes were tasty. The plate came with guacamole, pico and a small dish of garlic sauce along with homemade tortillas. The other plate was the Redfish on a half shell, $36.00. Another phenomenal dish! The redfish was topped with shrimp, charred avocado and some sauce. The redfish was tender, juicy and meaty. Fresh, fresh and delicious! A keeper, for sure. Lastly, we finished the meal off with their tres leches dessert, $9.00. For me, it was way too sweet. They had charred their homemade whipped cream on top but both the whipped cream and cake were achingly sweet. I wouldn’t order this again. The only thing we didn’t enjoy but maybe others like super sweet desserts. With 2 drinks, an app, two meals and a dessert, the total was around $150.00 not including a generous tip. Yes, very expensive for a night out at a non-fancy restaurant with lots of noise and huge crowds, but we’ll come back for the food on rare occasions. Too expensive for regular frequency."

"The food was amazing and our table was a large table but they split it between servers to make it easier (as a former server I am well versed in duties for a server) they were on top of it with drinks and manners and the food came out hot and delicious. I did notice a few servers didn't actually ask before removing things from the table but other than that it was amazing especially for a group of about 20 people."

"Meal was on point as always. Drinks were made beautifully. Service unfortunately was lacking. Waiter Steven was so inamored by my friend that he ignored me on several trips to our table. Had to ask for straws, more chips, things that should have come out with our meal, but despite this, we enjoyed our experience."

"We met some friends here for lunch yesterday and we were not disappointed. The service was great, with a nice atmosphere and a nice bar. The tables are spread out pretty well, so you aren't on top of other people. We ordered from the lunch menu, which appears to be a bit pricey, but for the amount of food you're getting, it's a great deal. Seriously, you'll end up with a big platter of whatever you order. The food was nicely seasoned and presented very well, and the wait staff were very attentive. If you're around that I-10 area of North West San Antonio, it's worth the stop. I'll be back for sure."
