We stopped here for dinner while heading to Lake o' Pines for a weekend getaway, and it came recommended as a spot to eat while passing through Longview. We’re so glad we made the stop. The staff was warm, attentive, and welcoming, and the restaurant itself...Read More

Great place for delicious Mexican food at a great value. The lunch menu was amazing. Staff were friendly, efficient, and professional. Honey and butter at your table for warm flour tortillas plus warm corn chips and salsa. Lunch fajitas salad was a big winner.

Where to start? The atmosphere is pretty cool. Brianna was an amazing waitress. The chips and salsa was excellent. I had Danny's Platter, a mix of grilled veggies and steak. The steak was smoky, tender and simply unbelievable. The veggies were in a nice proportion...Read More

If you’re looking for more than just a meal—for warmth, kindness, and service that truly comes from the heart—be sure to sit in her section. She’s not just an outstanding waitress, she’s someone who makes every guest feel seen and valued. ❤️

Papacita’s has always been a consistent favorite. Been eating there for over 10 years and never had a bad experience. Not only do they serve complementary chips, but also (great) complementary tortillas. Everything is delicious and service is outstanding.

Papacitas chips are among the best! I’m always impressed by how many people they are able to accommodate and serve well. Papacitas experiences are consistent. I don’t ever worry if it will be “hit or miss.” I like the Danny’s special!

They never fail to exceed my expectations every time I go. Great food, friendly staff and a good family atmosphere. We eat lunch or dinner here quite often. My go to is either the beef fajitas, the chicken flameado or the Dean’s Special.
