HOUSTON, Texas — The original location of a pioneering Houston Tex-Mex restaurant will soon serve its last order of fajitas. Pappasitos Cantina is closing its location at Richmond and Hillcroft (6445 Richmond Ave.) on Sunday, Sept. 13.<\/p>\n

“After careful consideration, we made this difficult decision based on the long-term outlook for this location. We look forward to inviting our Sito’s #1 guests to our nearby locations at Little Pappasitos on Kirby and Pappasitos Cantina at Memorial City,” the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“We hope our guests will visit during these final weeks and help us give Sito’s #1 the sendoff it deserves. If you have a favorite memory of Sito’s #1, we would love for you to share it with us through the Pappasitos website,” the statement continues.<\/p>\n
