My friend Ricaruca expressed his concerned about classifying
Lupe as the best fajitas ever, so he challenged me to go and try Pappasito’s Cantina. As you can imagine is part of the Pappas group, I had an amazing
experience in Pappas Bros so a visit to try their fajitas was a must.

Their menu full of Tex Mex from traditional tamales, to
quesadillas, classic nachos, tacos, and enchiladas. We got a basket full of
tortillas and asked for a guacamole which was made table side, nice touch! The guacamole
was excellent, good spicy kick, traditional Latino American flavours. But I was with the
objective of giving a try to their Fajitas Famosas (Famous Fajitas), would it
be possible? Are they better than the Lupe’s ones? As soon as I saw the options
I knew which one to order Filet Mignon fajitas, grilled over a mequite fire,
fresh tortillas, rice, frijoles a la charra, pico de gallo, and more guacamole,
yes please more guacamole.

The Fajitas were excellent, nice flavour, the meat was
great, juicy, tasty, in conclusion Legen… wait for it Dary. I can see my friends dilemma,
both places are great, I think the difference is how they prepare the meat, in
Lupe they marinated in lime and pepper, while Pappasito’s goes for a more straight
forward approach letting the meat speak for itself.

As regards to me a very difficult decision, I loved both
places, could eat in either to be honest, I probably tend more to Lupe as it
was the first ones I tried, but having said that the Pappasito’s ones are
excellent and they will be on my list as soon as I’m back in Texas.
So judge by yourself, I can tell you something the Filet
Mignon fajitas are excellent and you won’t be disappointed.
I appreciate all of you reading my incoherent posts, just
wanted to wish you all a happy holidays, enjoy with your family and loved ones, and remember party hard…

Christmas reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Strike”
Elaine: What?
George: Nothing. It's a card from my dad
Elaine: What is it? "Dear son, Happy Festivus."
What is Festivus?
George: It's nothing, stop it
Jerry: When George was growing up
George: Jerry, No!
Jerry: His father
George: No!
Jerry: Hated all the commercial and religious aspects of
Christmas, so he made up his own holiday
Elaine: Ohhhh… and another piece of the puzzle falls
into place
George: Alright
Jerry: And instead of a tree, didn't your father put up an aluminium
pole?
George: Jerry! Stop it!
Jerry: And weren't there a feats of strength that always ended
up with you crying?
George: I can't take it anymore! I'm going to work! Are you
happy now?
