The Spot
Little Pappasito's Cantina serves the scratch-kitchen Tex-Mex the Pappasitos name is built on: piled-high fajitas, guacamole made at the table or to order, and a margarita program that shows up in nearly every review. It sits in the Greenway/Upper Kirby area, part of the same lineage of cantinas the Pappas family has run across Houston for decades.

Reviewers keep coming back to the same short list — fajitas, guacamole, chips and green sauce, margaritas — alongside a brunch service that's developed its own following. Chicken dishes and big portions come up often enough to suggest the kitchen doesn't skimp.

Service gets singled out repeatedly, including specific praise for how the staff handles allergies and dietary requests. Vegan options stay limited, but regulars describe the place in terms usually reserved for the best Tex-Mex in the city.

The Infatuation scored it 8.2/10.
