A vegetarian-friendly menu and vibrant decor make this nontraditional taqueria a favorite for health-conscious Missionites. – The Scene Bright red walls, deep-blue wood floors and unfinished tables and chairs provide a simple, yet vivid, backdrop. Abstract murals, Mexican folk-art kites and painted crosses that deck the walls and ceiling add to the festive atmosphere. Attentive, super-friendly service encourages diners to feel at home. The Food This isn't a standard Mission taqueria--meat and fish are cooked to order, beans ... read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! – I can't believe that this place has been around for 5 years and I BARELY had a chance to eat there last night. The food is amazing - I had the shrimp quesadillas with the black beans - the hicama salsa is ridiculous and of course....the salsa is just bananas!!! I'm definitely going back to this spot more often. Very reasonable prices and the decor of the restaurant is beautiful!! I would encourage anyone to go and check it out when they're in the area. They've got a great variety of drinks/beer as well.

Healthy Mexican – With a good selection of beers on tap, Papalote offers mexican food that is not cooked in a greaseladen hole in the wall. Even though some of those grease laden hole in the walls are some of my favorites, but Papalote is a refreshing change. Lots of vegetarian options and their salsa kicks ass! You can buy it by the jar.

hey...my mommas in the kitchen! – This is the first place i go when i miss my familia, the food is delicious, the space is always hoppin' with music and bright colors, and the owners are almost cooler than the food & space combined! Papalotes is like going home to east san jo for me....if you haven't yet you must swing by.

Papalote is a happening restaurant-taqueria in the Mission area. The food is excellent and prepared in a very healthy manner -- it is a favorite among local vegetarians and vegans. Not being a vegetarian myself, I love the flavorful, tasty food they offer. Plus, the service is great -- the guys who own this place are awesome and it is always a pleasure to see their smiling faces behind the register. The restaurant is not huge, there is ample seating, but it is really cute -- decorated with kites and always playing some good ... read more

Fresh and Healthy value meal! – As a vegetarian, I had many choices - the grilled vegetable burrito was great - the produce tasted fresh. It wasn't too heavy, and was low-priced. You have the option of eating there or taking out.
