Morgan McKeeJanuary 14, 2017The price for what you get is unreal. I am stuffed full of guacamole, tacos and margaritas 🍹 and incredibly happy with the price. The atmosphere is also great, lots of people enjoying the weekend 🤗
Papatzul is a great spot for happy hour margs with a fun and friendly staff. It has a small bar up front, but spacious back area to dine.
Avneesh KohliJanuary 6, 2018I really enjoyed the enchiladas de pollo with verde sauce. Also try the salsas papatzul - it’s like a flight of 5 different salsas.
Steph SantanaNovember 11, 2019Everything is AMAZING, specially for the service. Just I think is STUPID that owners only hire one waiter... he and the barman always in the best mood but it’s impossible to give a fast service
Tony XerriAugust 14, 2017Flautas for days. And don't forget the corn, probably the best menu item they have. Delicious.
Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014I usually order the mole because it has a very distinct almond flavor and sweetness to it. I was surprised when I tried the taquitos taurinos, very tasty.
Martha CisnerosFebruary 19, 2013Leave room for desert and get the churros con cajeta! best in town, not quite similar to the subway churros!! This churros are most traditional !!
vinxMay 26, 2015guacamole is huge and duck tacos are really something if you like to try some different taste.
ValerieApril 18, 2015The duck mole enchiladas. The house salsa is mild. It's better to go with the 5 salsa sampler if you prefer spicy salsa.
Jackie MucilliMarch 30, 2015SO GOOD. Must try the watermelon margarita with chile powder. I got the pork & pineapple tacos, also recommend getting that!
MarthaFebruary 18, 2015delicious food...margaritas, soft tacos, corn and guacamole are all yummy. i need to come here more often!
Kavita BabaFebruary 7, 2015I could have made a meal of the guacamole, but the enchiladas de Huitlacoche were waiting. Just get there before happy hour ends at 8 for $6 margaritas.
Mole is great, Guac is great. One of the better causal sit down restaurants in the area
E DwardJune 7, 2016Watch out for this busboy. Watched him slyly take video of a group of young & attractive women. Really gross and inappropriate. Was here on a Tuesday, 7pm.
Jessica MarkSeptember 5, 2013Sopes con chorizo. Tacos taurinos. Fish tacos. Margarita matador. Nom nom nom. Ayeee yayaaiiiiii
Arguably best authentic Mex food in the city. Try the Duck Mole. Tamarindo Margarita can't be beat.
CristinaSeptember 23, 2014Yummy guacamole! All the food is great! Like happy hour of Margarita? Starts at 5pm. They are strong. Enjoy!
Radairis DiazJanuary 28, 2017Cute place. Felt like an authentic Mexican restaurant. Drinks were good too ;)
- Duck mole, duck mole, duck mole. It's sweet. It's unreallll
Dominik FJuly 3, 2015Traditional Mexican food! It was very tasty and with a fresh cold beer it's just perfect!
Love this place. Great food at good prices. My faves are the quac, the flautas, and the pork tacos.
LukeMarch 23, 2019The brisket tacos are more than respectable and the margaritas are a cut above most other nyc spots
Matt NewbergApril 4, 2014I'm from LA and this place is the real deal. Fantastic tacos, entrees, and service
jen museMay 5, 2015Great spot in SoHo for delicious margaritas and super authentic mexican food. Happy hour 5-8!
Taco AficionadoJune 9, 2013Tacos here are delicious! Try the fish or carne asada. They both rock hard.
- Best margaritas ever! Try all!! Simon is the best bartender!!!
- They have the best tamarindo margaritas!!! Delicious and spicy hmmmm
SamJune 2, 2014Sangria is potent! But be warned, happy hour specials only apply if you get a seat in the front.
Alexis BreslinJanuary 13, 2012Awesome... If u like spicy! This was the hottest Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten at. If u do not like spicy food, pick another venue.
My favorite mexican in the city. They have a great happy hour and I love the steak tacos!
This has become the standard lunch place with its great fish tacos
Sara KosykApril 24, 2011They seated us 30 mins late but more than made up for it with complimentary guacamole and great service thereafter. The mole is delicious.
Amanda KellyFebruary 20, 2015Fun and colorful ambiance! See so for yourself with the virtual tour! Read more
Simon is the best! Have a sangrita complement to your tequila shot...
CristieOctober 2, 2010Opt for the carne asada tacos and you will be happy. Be sure to add the salsa de arbol liberally to each taco!
David BerkowitzDecember 20, 2011Try the Quesadillas - Great zucchini mushroom quesadillas even if they are really empanadas
