Pappasito's Cantina

We just had dinner here. Luis and his sister who's name I didn't get could not have been more helpful. They informed the kitchen, brought separate gluten free chips for my husband, just in case of cross contamination they have sealed bags of gluten free chips. Checked twice with the kitchen to make sure everything was gluten free. The food was excellent, they were very knowledgable and fun to talk to. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!

I've usually eaten at papas chain with no problem but very sick from eating here. I even had the manager watch my food. Oh well.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was nervous about going here because it seems it would be very easy for cross contamination to occur at a Mexican restaurant. The GF menu was small, as most are, but well rounded. I was worried I may not be able to have any chips but they had baked chips which were very good. I chose to avoid the Mexican rice even though it was considered GF because of the spices which sometimes doesn't sit well with me. The staff was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable. My belly feels great. A very pleasant experience and I can't wait to go again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing service and perfect food.

It is so rare that I eat out and have ZERO reaction to the food (diagnosed Celiac Disease). I highly recommend making this stop!

The managers at any if these locations around houston are always accommodating and inform of the variety of foods to enjoy. Can do non-marinated chicken breast, cilantro lime rice, filet mignon fajitas, corn tortillas, baked chips and more

There were no apparent measures taken. I ordered the Tequila Lime Salad w/o the chip strips. The service was awesome!

There was a separate gluten free menu. Our waitress addressed my questions and concerns. My food came out on a special plate with a sign indicating that it was gluten free. It was good and I did not feel ill afterwards and I am pretty sensitive.

We had the best experience here. They have a gluten free menu. When our waitress took our order and noticed my menu she said she would notify her manager. They were super careful my plate was even marked. I felt completely safe and actually normal. I was recently diagnosed so this was a huge deal!

Pleasantly surprised. They have a separate gluten free menu with a few apps, 5-6 entrees, and ice cream for dessert. They also made me gluten free chips and salsa, not made in same fryer. For my dinner I got cheese enchiladas which were delicious. The meals my family got ( not restricted) looked amazing. We had great server and the manager assured the kitchen would be attentive to avoid cross contamination. Also, the atmosphere is very cheerful and inviting. Had no reaction after eating there.
