" Papalote won me over with their incredible flavors! The al pastor burrito blew my mind—juicy and tender chunks of pork with the perfect seasoning. The salsa is definitely what keeps bringing me back. While there is usually a bit of a wait, it’s worth it for the quality of food. I appreciate that they also focus on sustainable packaging practices. I’ll be returning often to explore more menu options! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Papalote was pretty good! I ordered the grilled chicken burrito, and I thought it was satisfying in flavor and size. Their salsa is definitely a key to the success here; it added the perfect kick. What I didn’t appreciate was the seating arrangement; it felt quite cluttered, and I had to sit close to a group that was pretty loud. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back for the tasty burritos. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always wanted to try Papalote and finally got around to it. The burritos are huge, and the quality is remarkable! The salsa is tangy and refreshing, a must-have with every meal. I got the super burrito so I could try a little of everything, and I'm glad I did! The only downside was the dining setup; it's kind of cramped and feels more like a takeout spot than a sit-down restaurant. However, the taste of the food makes up for it. I'll definitely be a returning customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Papalote has been my go-to spot for a quick fix of delicious burritos. I adore the carne asada burrito; it's cooked to perfection and very satisfying. The salsa here is just something else; it's what really elevates the whole meal. I often order extra on the side. The staff are always friendly, and while the dining space is a bit cramped, it adds to the friendly feel of the place. Plus, it's usually buzzing with happy customers, which makes for a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a tasty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Papalote was a hit-and-miss experience for me. While I loved their tofu burrito and the house made salsas, the service left something to be desired. It felt like we were being rushed to place our orders, and when we finally sat down, it was difficult to get additional napkins or drinks. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, which I appreciated; however, I was taken aback by the fact that they serve all orders in paper bags, even while dining in. Overall, I enjoyed the food but hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Papalote for years, I finally made the trip. Overall, I was quite impressed! The variety of burrito fillings available is extensive and made it difficult to choose just one. I went with the al pastor as recommended, and it was delicious; the flavors were vibrant and fresh. The only downside was the long queue, but it moved quickly. Once we sat down, we noticed the tables could be a little cleaner as there were crumbs from the previous customers. Nevertheless, the food made it all worthwhile, and I can't wait to explore the vegan menu on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Papalote for the first time and I have to say, their burritos are truly a delight! I had the chicken mole burrito, and it was bursting with flavor. The combination of ingredients was perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous too. The salsa served with the chips is definitely worth raving about! Service was friendly, though the place got pretty busy during lunchtime. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)
