My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Papalo Taqueria keeps its menu narrow and leans on a handful of dishes that keep people coming back. Chicharron and pork dishes come up again and again as favorites, and the tortillas and toppings get consistent praise alongside them. The tepache chicken is more of a mixed bag, drawing less consistent reactions than the rest of the lineup.

Service is friendly and helpful, and prices stay reasonable for the neighborhood. Michelin awarded Papalo Taqueria a Bib Gourmand in 2025.
