DonaldJanuary 18, 2014You gotta try the massive Triple threat burrito. Or even the very popular adobo burrito. But Whatever you decide make sure to get it with their amazing salsa. It's the Best in the Bay Area.
- DonaldJanuary 19, 2014Great place for food with original concepts and flavors. Huge portions so you definitely get you're money's worth. Try the Adobo or the triple threat burrito. Those are their two signature dishes.
Charlie StiglerJanuary 20, 2016Get the Machaca con Huevo breakfast burrito... for dinner. The super burritos are nice too. Also enjoy the creamy salsa in-restaurant, even better than the stuff they sell in jars.
Pam ☕️ OAugust 11, 2016It's true, the roasted tomato salsa is delectable! Carne asada naked burrito came with more beans than meat. Great opportunity to try jicama if you've never heard of it before.
Lots of vegetarian & paleo-friendly options. They're also very flexible in substitutions. Definitely try the naked burrito, amazing.
The salsa lives up to the hype. Mix it with the guacamole to start. Go off menu and get the super chicken adobo burrito.
Tobias SchmidtFebruary 12, 2018The chicken con mole burrito is very satisfying. And yeah, the salsa that comes with it lives up to the hype
Tim MacalinoJune 27, 2017The Prechuga Al Achiote (chicken marinated in Achiote and spices) entree is super yummy!
I would consider coming back to this again and again only for the salsa. Seriously, some of the best salsa I've ever had. It was a bit loud inside, but I was focused on the salsa
JennySeptember 30, 2014SO GOOD. And very veggie-friendly if that's a concern. I am not a vegetarian, got the soyrizo super burrito--delicious and lasted me three meals. And the sauce--that sauce!
Pranay SethiNovember 30, 2014The composition, structure (or lack of it), and taste of the burrito was absolutely spot on. You can probably tell I am a Burrito Nerd. But seriously this place is legit. The salsa, even more so.
Natalie MMay 26, 2018The salsa.... seriously the salsa is THE BEST. The burritos are good too and the steak nachos and bomb too
Justin PakAugust 13, 2019The naked burrito bowls are fire. And come with chips and their famously delicious salsa.
VegNews MagazineAugust 30, 2012Papalote blew minds after whupping Bobby Flay on Food Network’s Throwdown, and for good reason. Their soyrizo burrito makes mouths water, and the taqueria is famed for its unbeatable salsa.
Jonathan WFebruary 26, 2016Get the Super Chicken Adobo Salad with cilantro vinaigrette. It's one of the most filling, ingredient-packed salads you'll ever have.
Matthew WilkesOctober 20, 2014The quesadillas are great, but you will envy your friends that get massive burritos. Make sure you get save some chips to dip in your guacamole.
colin sAugust 31, 2015Noticeably high quality jack cheese, a rare and delicious surprise. Also refried black beans are delicious and hard to find other places
Norris TranFebruary 19, 2012Saw the awards along with the bobby flay piece on this place hyping it up. After trying the super adobo burrito and the soyrizo tacos i felt let down. Salsa/service gets +1. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
K GaOctober 14, 2014I'm always torn between the Vegan Mole with Tofu Burrito or the Vegan Soyrizo Burrito. Both are amazing! Don't skimp on the guacamole.
Get a burrito. Their special salsa is worth ordering an extra side of for your chips and well... everything else. Put it on everything.
Damian BayonaDecember 5, 2017Convenient location if walking to or from the BART. Otherwise, a surprisingly unremarkable burrito. Ask for extra papalote sauce, you will need it 😕
Melissa WeissJanuary 16, 2016More vegan variety than any other taqueria, go for the tofu mole burrito (sin queso and creme) and always add guac
7x7 MagazineOctober 23, 2012They famously won the Bobby Flay burrito-off on the Food Network and with a wonderfully griddled tortilla and attention-grabbing size, it's easy to see why. Read more
My order will forever be: super soyrizo burrito/spinach tortilla/black beans. Make sure to save some salsa to pour on it.
Yaron SJuly 5, 2015Salsa is delicious and has the right amount of kick. Burritos are large and always on point. Love this joint
Margaret KarlenFebruary 7, 2014Awesome salsa, kind of creamy like no other I had. I had the fish burrito, very good with big chunks of white fish. yum!
Burrito bowls are still great but portions seem smaller now and price has gone up!
Small joint but big flavors! The house salsa is great, the Chorizo Con Queso is Great and the Chicken Mole Super Burrito is great! Worthy of repeat visits!
BommyAugust 8, 2016Turn any burrito into a nakd burrito bowl. Very generous with the added guacamole.
Their fish burrito is insane! It’s marinated in a wine butter sauce. Also their salsa is so creamy and delicious.
Brian MartinMarch 24, 2014Dining room is a bit tiny, if you go during meal hours you might need to share a table. Otherwise, amazing food fairly priced.
Lee HoffmanOctober 12, 2013Maybe the best food I've had in SF. Definitely some of the best chips and salsa and burritos I've had
Eric CastroAugust 12, 2014Given the nearby options which are better, choosing Papalote is like eating Chicago deep dish pizza while in Paris.
Jonathan AizenAugust 13, 2013The habanero salsa is unreal. Pick some up and serve at home... people will flip. They also sell it at Whole Foods on 24th.
The best chips and salsa in the city! The burrito ain't so bad either. Fresh and tasty.
Chris H.April 23, 2016Besides the salsa, most of what I've tried here is fairly bland. The salsa is definitely meant to be put on everything.
for all you hyper locals, they sell their crack laden salsa in mason jars and if you wash it and bring it back, they refill it at a discount. so delicious.
Get the fish super burrito - it's fish marinated in butter and wine sauce yummmmmm
Asha JSeptember 17, 2014Chile verde burrito is awesome, ask to make it super. Their guacamole is also delicious.
AïshaApril 15, 2016Very nice place... We had to wait for a while to get a place.. But the food was worth waiting.- Billy TerrellFebruary 15, 2013If you bring back the mason jar they sell their delicious salsa in you'll get a buck off a refill.
Marcus SandbergApril 8, 2015The fajitas is big enough to share. And super delicious (especially if you make it super)
Hana KimJuly 3, 2013Guac, cheese, sour cream to any plate for $0.99? Yes please! Chips/salsa are free...get side of guac for complete app.- I love the salsa, and the Mexipino burrito is my new favorite! Mexican-Filipino fusion.
Chris PinolaJuly 10, 2015The salsa is out of this world and just improves absolutely everything. They sell it online.
Garlic lovers: Instead of the regular rice, request them to switch to the garlic fried rice. It is awesome and addictive
