The fare at this restaurant has both great flavor, and a very clean feel. Nothing felt too heavy or greasy at all. The service was excellent (the cashier was extremely friendly and helpful). Great location, great ambiance, and great look. Highly recommended. Also, salsa was fantastic! I got the veggie burrito and would love to go back and try something else. Prices reasonable.

I love, love, love this place. The food is clean (no lard, not too greasy), and the salsa is spicy. Perfect for Saturday afternoons, after a Friday night out. Or take it to go and eat at home. ... More

I love, love, love this place. The food is clean (no lard, not too greasy), and the salsa is spicy. Perfect for Saturday afternoons, after a Friday night out. Or take it to go and eat at home. Or take it to the park. Really, any time is a good time for Papalotes. Pros: food, salsa, burritos, tacos, take out, eat in Cons: Not good for a date

I read about this place in a NY Times travel article, where it said that this was the best place for a vegetarian to get a burrito in the Mission. Now, I must admit, I haven't tried the veggie burritos at too many other places, but that's because this place is so good! My favorite is the soyrizo, but I've also tried the tofu mole, which was interesting...I hadn't ever really had mole before, since it's usually with some kind of meat. It's usually kind of crowded for dinner, but it's awesome, and definitely worth it! The chilaquiles are good too, because they're covered in Papalote's yummy salsa. Pros: Great veggie food! All beans are vegan.

After I heard Papalote was voted the best burrito by Daily Candy, I had to try it. Even on a Tuesday night, the place was packed. My chicken burrito was good and ingredients were fresh, though nothing that stood out compared to other burrito joints in the Mission. Though my boyfriend's prawn burrito was really good. Still not convinced that these are the best burritos in the city -- I'm still on the search. But I definitely recommend checking this place out. Pros: Fresh food, cute place

This is one of the best - if not completely authentic - burrito places around. Awesome salsa, innovative burritos, and friendly atmosphere. Plus, if you call 10 minutes ahead, you can pre-order your food for it to be ready when you get there. The best. Pros: price, salsa, service

Papalote is so great! It's perfect for vegetarians and vegans. My favorite thing to get there is the veggie (potato, carrot, lettuce) tacos. They have amazing salsa there that they serve to you with warm fresh chips. Papalote is a little hole in the wall, but always crowded. Everything is fresh and delicious.
