Upscale but also a great option for lunch. Count on great seafood, Cajun flavor, and a great lunch menu.

True TexMex flavor, never a bad meal.
Pappasito's Cantina - Home
Always with a line out the door, pretty much a lunch spot because you need to arrive before opening at 11am to get any food before they run out. Yes, they run out —usually around 3-4pm. Go on Sunday when you can and order the chicken!!
