Pappasito’s Cantina celebrates 40th anniversary

The legendary Tex-Mex restaurant will be celebrating all month long in October with food and drink specials and commemorative mugs at 20 locations throughout Texas and Georgia. Photo: Pappasito’s, used with permission.

Pappasito’s Cantina is excited to announce that its 40th anniversary celebration is taking place throughout October. The month-long celebration will feature food and drink specials, including $40 for 40 Fajitas on Wednesdays starting at 4p.m., a commemorative 40th anniversary mug with Fiesta Fizz or Pappasito’s Signature Reserva Margarita, and a special Fiesta Fudge Brownie. Guests will also have the opportunity to win one of ten $400 gift cards by entering online. E-Club members will receive additional perks throughout the month. (Pappasito’s Cantina, 2023)

Pappasito’s is driven by the same principles that family patriarch H.D. Pappas brought with him to the New World in 1897: a passion for quality food and service, careful attention to detail, and a determination to treat every person who walks through the door as a welcomed guest. 

Decades after opening, Pappasito’s continues to provide superior flavor, freshness and presentation that guests will not find anywhere else. Using only the highest quality produce, meat and fish, each location ensures only the best dishes arrive at the table. This includes roasting their salsa in their kitchens daily, using fresh-squeezed lime juice for their famous margaritas and hand-making tortillas in-house.

Just as important as the quality of the food and drinks is the service they provide guests. Team members are carefully selected, receive world-class training and are encouraged to grow within the company, which is one of the many reasons their team is consistently known as the best in the business. Many Pappasito’s team members have been with the organization for decades, passing along their passion and institutional knowledge to the next generation of servers, cooks, bartenders, managers, and more. 

“The Pappas family feels so honored that diners continue to return to Pappasito’s, and we are proud to carry on the tradition of serving outstanding food and providing exceptional service in an atmosphere where people go to be treated like family, to be entertained, and to enjoy great food, knowing that they can expect that Pappas trademark of quality. We look forward to celebrating 40 years with our valued guests all month long and beyond!” – Chris Pappas, CEO of Pappas Restaurants, Inc.

Pappasito’s Cantina is the second largest concept in one of the largest family-owned and operated restaurant companies in the United States. The Pappas family of restaurants offers many different cuisines and traditions, but common to all is an obsession with quality food and superior service that is reflected in every aspect of the Guest experience. Pappas is a respected leader in the competitive restaurant industry. The Pappas philosophy has not changed much over the years. The drive still comes from a passion for excellence, a focus on innovation and attention to detail and quality in everything they do.

The best activities to enjoy this fall

** Contains update -Originally published October 2, 2023 **

Fall is a magical time of year – it’s the season for cozy knits and Pumpkin Spice everything, after all! But fall is also a great time to get out and explore. With fewer tourists and cooler temperatures, it’s the perfect season for some fun activities at home, in your local area and beyond.

So what should be on your must-do list this fall? Take a look at some of the following ideas and start filling up your schedule.

Enjoy concerts and special movie nights

If you love attending the theater, concerts and outdoor screenings, then fall is the perfect time to do so. The evenings get darker quicker, so it’s the perfect time for a special cinema screening or outdoor theater performance, where the lighting will be magical. Take some cozy blankets and wrap up warm to beat the chill.

Of course, if you’d prefer to be inside at this time of year, you can always explore some indoor concerts and events for the fall that will be perfect for those cooler evenings. Explore what’s happening in your local area and get involved.

Spend time outdoors

There’s nothing better than a long walk in the cool autumn air. Whether you want to enjoy a hike in the mountains or spend your days at the beach, you’ll find plenty of opportunities throughout the fall months. Why not check out some of the best pumpkin patches to visit and get ready for those all-important themed photoshoots?

You could also use this time to help out in your community. Help collect trash on the beach or your favorite beauty spots, or get involved with a local charity. You could even volunteer for some dog walking at your local shelter as an excellent excuse to spend time outside, while getting to hang out with some new furry friends. 

Discover autumn crafting

One of the best things about fall is the beautiful colors of nature. Shades of red, brown and orange dominate the foliage at this time of year, so why not celebrate this with some crafting? You can make your own fall-themed wreath, enjoy pumpkin crafts and so much more to add a little seasonal color to your home, or gift to friends and family.

TikTok is full of fall craft inspiration, and these fall-themed candles are the perfect way to start.

Why not invite some friends over and enjoy candle-making together?

Curl up with a good book

After a busy summer, fall is a good time to relax and recharge. Is there anything better than curling up with a good book while sitting by the fire or in your cozy reading space? There are some fantastic books to check out this fall, giving you plenty of recommendations to add to your reading list. Get some autumnal snacks ready and plenty of hot chocolate while you indulge in this perfect fall activity.

Fall is a great time of year to take some time for yourself and to do the things you want to do. Whether that means some self-care for you, or a day exploring with friends and family, you’ll find plenty of things to do over the coming months. Make the most of this special time and enjoy all of the wonderful things the season has to offer.

Addendum:

Learn to Play Instruments

With the chill in the air and cozy vibes setting in, why not dive into something new this fall? Learning to play an instrument could be just the thing to add a bit of warmth to your indoor days. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to level up your musical skills, fall’s got the right vibe for it. If you’re into rock, try your hand at the guitar and spice up your tunes with some grit. For all the metal enthusiasts out there, figuring out the best distortion pedal for tube amp can be a cool adventure.

Annual Hola México Film Festival presented by Toyota

The largest Mexican film festival outside of Mexico, Hola México Film Festival presented by Toyota, returns for its 15th annual edition on September 29 – October 7, 2023 during Hispanic Heritage Month. The festival will feature 20+ films and 20 short films from its filmmaker-focused program Tomorrow’s Filmmakers Today. Festival passes are available online. (Hola México Film Festival, 2023)

Founded in 2008, Hola México Film Festival, the largest Mexican Film Festival outside of Mexico, strives to highlight the best and brightest talents in Mexican cinematography. Spanning comedies, dramas, horror films and documentaries, the festival showcases high quality films in a festive atmosphere in conjunction with exclusive parties and outdoor concerts. Sponsors include Toyota, Delta, Aeroméxico, and LA Plaza de Cultura Y Artes.

Hola México Film Festival (HMFF) once again will give viewers the opportunity to gather in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month to watch a selection of some of the latest and most acclaimed Mexican films. The festival gathers more than 10,000 cinephiles to see 20 + films, many of them making their U.S. or West Coast premiers during red carpet galas with celebrated actors and directors in attendance.

Samuel Douek, the founder and director of HMFF, had this to say about the film festival’s ‘quinceañera’ (15th annual celebration.) “We’re very excited to celebrate our 15th anniversary, our ‘quinceañera’ if you will. A ‘quinceañera is the traditional ‘coming of age’ celebration for a young Latina and I very much feel as if the Hola Mexico Film Festival has not simply grown over the past 15 years, but has truly come of age as has our connection with L.A.’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. In 15 years of showing Mexican cinema to our community we’ve seen the Mexican film industry grow in huge leaps and bounds, coincided by a large growth in audience numbers. Still, through all that growth the essence of HMFF remains the same: fantastic Mexican cinema in luxurious movie theaters surrounded by strangers who become familia via our shared love of this great art form, and the celebration of it all!”

“Cinema serves as an exceptional platform for highlighting the richness and diversity of culture,” stated Alex Chau, Brand Media Manager, Integrated Marketing Operations for Toyota Motor North America. “We are thrilled to renew our partnership with the Hola Mexico Film Festival as they commemorate their 15-year milestone, presenting a captivating showcase of Mexico’s most brilliant filmmakers and talented individuals on the grand stage, coinciding with the vibrant celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.”

All the greatest movies have memorable movie theater posters and each year the Hola Mexico Film Festival participates in that tradition, priding itself in working with Mexico’s most sought-after graphic designers to create unique and very collectable poster art. This year’s poster was designed by Tone Olvera, a creative Mexican illustrator and art director with more than a decade’s worth of experience in the highly competitive ad agency world. He brings his style of psychedelia inspired mysticism and bold line ‘blackwork’ imagery to the 15th anniversary HMFF poster which features a mythical character embodying ‘Mexicanness’ and presenting Mexican cinema as an offering to the festival spirits.

The opening night film screening on September 29, 2023 will take place at The Montalban Theater located at 1615 Vine St, Hollywood, CA 90028. HMFF will conclude with a closing night screening a concert at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Downtown L.A., preceded by an award ceremony recognizing the audience’s choice for best film and best short film.

The festival is comprised of the following sections: México Ahora, Documental, El Otro México, and Nocturno. México Ahora features the best of Mexican films released in recent years, covering every genre. Documental includes notable non-fiction films made by Mexican filmmakers. El Otro Mexico highlights experiences of Mexicans rarely portrayed on screen, skillfully presenting perceptive narratives that challenge the status quo. The Nocturno section offers offbeat stories and horror films.

For its 8th edition, Tomorrow’s Filmmakers Today (TFT), a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the growth of emerging Latine filmmakers, continues its annual partnership with HMFF. TFT selects and showcases 20 exceptional Latine filmmakers and their short films during the festival.

The 10-day program not only provides a platform for these talented individuals but also offers an immersive professional development experience. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with both esteemed Mexican filmmakers and renowned industry professionals based in the U.S., opening doors and expanding networks crucial for their career advancement.
