Papatzul

I recently tried Papatzul for the first time and I am quite eager to try it again! Our waitress was prompt and polite, and the food and drinks were delicious! The menu has a nice mix of inventive and traditional options. Bon appetite!

We have had several dinners at Papatzul and each time we have had an excellent experience. The food has always been fresh and the presentation is great. It is hard to say what is our favored dish, lately we always order the Cochinita, make sure you order some tortillas with it! The portions are great and I think that all the dishes have a lot of value. Drinks too are excellent, try the Papatzul. We love Papatzul either for a quick bite or a night out with friends. Great addition to Soho.

If you have a major sweet tooth and are in the mood for mexican, people, I IMPLORE you, order the duck enchiladas in mole sauce, and then the mini chocolate flan for dessert. MY GOD THESE TWO DISHES ARE AMAZING!!!

Margarita and sangria were just off and tasted too much of alcohol rather than better flavors. Guacamole was just ok. fish tacos were very mayonnaise-y and piled high with piles and piles of lettuce. The fish in the tacos, by itself, was good and nicely cooked. The scallop mini tostadas were kind of tasteless, after scraping the "tamarind" sauce off the top (the sauce tasted more like prune puree). The masa cakes with chorizo were pretty good, and our favorite thing. Have been wanting to try this place simply because we hadn't been, but now see no reason to go back or to advise going. Nothing special.

I used to go to this place all the time for margaritas and guacamole, after about year and a half of enjoying probably the best margarita in the city I found out that the bartender responsible of those delicious drinks left to open his own place. I think the quality of the margaritas went straight down, and the atmosphere isn't good now. It's sad for me, I feel really bummed out. PD. Does anyone knows where is him and his margaritas?.. please.

A friend of mine told me this place had decent fish tacos so I decided to give it a try even though the reviewer below thought they were sub par. I ordered to pick up as I work nearby and was pleasantly surprised. Good fish, nicely spiced sauce and slaw and a solid, not big, but not small portion. Staff and bartender were friendly, I'll definitely go back though I don't think I'd trek across town for the place.

i am torn between telling people how great this place is so it stays open, or keeping it for myself. i can't beleive the bad reviews. finally a mexican restaurant run by people who take pride in mexican food, and don't try to serve tapas portions (wrong country people!) with only one goal in mind: money. the food is delicious, incredible value, the portions are real meals, the people are so kind, the bartender makes really great cocktails. i can't say enough, it really is a find. and its charming and incredibly clean and you can actually get a table. the food is inventive, it is not limited to the same four ingredients wrapped a different way....its not in midtown..what more can you ask for???
