Pappasito’s Cantina… Next to Discovery Green!

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Pappasitos in Downtown Houston Hilton 6
I could eat basket after basket of chips and salsa… so you know that Pappasitos Cantina is popular with me! And this location, right across from Discovery Green, might be my favorite!

We were at the park and needed a good place to cool off, so we walked over for lunch. This restaurant can get busy, but for a weekday lunch, we walked right in and were seated (and the chips and salsa arrived!).

Pappasitos at Hilton Tables
Pappasitos is on the ground floor of the Hilton in downtown (and across from the park), so there is a mix of travelers, business men and women and families. They have coloring sheets, crayons and the usual Pappasitos menu.

Prices are not super cheap at Pappasito’s… but my mom and I found something great. The veggie fajitas are not on the menu, but they can make veggie fajitas for 2, for less than $20. So, the adults were able to eat for less than $10 each… and the kids ordered from the kid’s menu.

The food came out quickly (but not before I had polished off hundreds of chips). We ate and ate but still took home half the food.

Next time you are at Discovery Green, and want something a little more sit-down than the other restaurants in the area… walk over to Pappasito’s!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
