Jose’s vibrant story comes to life at every table through its chef-driven plates, craft cocktails, the ceramics crafted by its renowned namesake, José Noe Suro of Ceramica Suro and the hand-drawn mural adorning the walls with scenes of Guadalajara and Tequila, which was a collaboration between Suro and Dallas-based designer and artist Megan Reinhardt.

    We celebrated my birthday and Pappas Bros. did not disappoint. The atmosphere was a bit noisy but not so much that it wasn’t enjoyable. Our waiter Joshua was phenomenal. He was attentive to our requests and was very polite and friendly. The food was amazing and beyond expectations. I would definitely recommend.

    We sat in a booth at the bar, with a view of the Fireplace and bar. The bar was high energy. The sautéed calamari app was excellent as was the Caesar salad. The filet was excellent, cooked perfectly rare and the Brussels sprouts really made the meal. We loved the ice wine for dessert. The service was spot on. Highly recommended, we will be back!

    Great food ! Service was outstanding. Parking is bad, no parking to use had to park at offices across the street. Ambiance was nice but too crowded tables so close together you can have a conversation with people next to you and music was so loud you have to scream at each other to hear the person in front of you.

    We came to celebrate my bestie’s birthday. The restaurant had a card waiting for her. The food was excellent. We all opted for the “Signature”. The quality of meets were great. The marinated meats delicious. The accompaniments were great! I think our favorite accompaniments were the kimchi salad. They should definitely bottle that dressing and sell it! They closed the celebration dinner with a moon pie/ice cream dish for the bestie! Great food. We will be back!
