    This has been one of my favorite go-to spots for tacos for years. I love the two different mole tacos and the fried avocado taco best. I really like their vegetarian tacos as well. They have a new taco bowl on the menu that I tried tonight and it was excellent. We tried the esquites, which were tasty but pretty spicy, and the churros, which were delicious. This is a small, casual spot that I love stopping by for a quick meal. It is very cute inside though. Right now there's an ofrenda up.

    Do not go here it’s expensive and the food taste like crap and of course they’ll cover your plate and onions when you ask for no onions they’ll make sure to put extra onions for you

    I usually get alambres, but the torta de cauliflor is bombbb. Never have any issues and the food always hits the spot. I love papalote.

    Pretty boring breakfast tacos if I’m being honest. The eggs were good, but the sausage was just some sliced up wanna be jimmy dean breakfast links that I could have had at my hotels crappy continental breakfast. They didn’t even look grilled- steamed maybe? Unappetizing. The tortillas were generic. These tacos are on par with taco deli. I will come back for lunch and try some other menu options. Portion size is small for the price, but what I expect from Austin.

    There's no place like Papalote's, there's no place like Papalote's...repeat as you click your heels together. Yet seriously, both the staff and their white glove service are a small hidden gem at this south of the river location. Go there. You'll be glad you did.
