Folks, I was just browsing around Yelp while I'm supposed to be working and I come across Papalote. It has only three and a half stars?! What the hell! Ok, I know the inside can sometimes have a really overpowering cleaning chemical smell. That's a fact that I cannot deny. The prices are also on the high side. I'll grant you that. But three and a half stars?! Have you not had the salsa? Their salsa is the closest thing you can get to La Vic's orange sauce without having to go to Hayward. I don't understand what's going on here.My girlfriend and I usually get the veggie burrito with the carrots and potatoes. That is a hearty dinner! You could probably split one between to people and feel pretty good about it. The chips are good. They have the fruit punch Jarritos. What more do you want?! Soyrizo! Tofu! Loads of vegetarian options! I give it a solid five stars and I'm not ashamed!

Much has been said about papalote, but I want to rave here about my particular order. Al Pastor Quesadilla. Run that with their special orange sauce, and you won't regret it.It's hard to find street parking, but you'll take the time to look for it if you get this order, a combo made from heaven. There are other burrito places, yes. But this particular combo brings splashes of flavors that will leave you speechless.

Yummy - I've been a fan of the salsa (grocery store purchased) before going to this restaurant and I enjoyed the meal. I think I've had better Mexican food aside from here - but overall this experience was fine. Price is what most places charge and they don't skimp on the meat and portions. Service was a bit lacking but at the same time - not much to complain about or improve in either. Definitely a good enough experience but not a "go out of my way to eat here" spot.

Overall the food is great. The only negative is that the salsas are not spicy at all and bland.

Challenging street parking, but I was able to find it just up the block. The place isn't huge, but they have about 6-8 tables. It's good Mexican food, and they have vegan/vegetarian-friendly options. It isn't mind-blowing, but good, decent food, especially for their honest prices. The staff is pleasant and helpful in case you need water or utensils. Their bathroom has "coloring" but is clean.

Just wanted to update. Unfortunately, the last time I visited, they said they no longer sell the adobo burrito so I don't want any new eyes to think they can still order it.

El Papalote! Haven't been here in about 9 years. Today we ordered a carne asada super burrito with whole black beans. The burrito was good! I read a comment that mentioned the bean portion is a lot higher than the rest of the other ingredients inside and they're correct. It's not a crazy amount but it's definitely in every bite. Big up if you're a fan of beans! Their salsa is very good. A little too mild for my liking but it's very flavorful and I was chasing my burrito bites with a little sip from the cup.The employees are very nice and the store is clean with a bathroom for customers only. They also have decent sized water cups!

Papalote is an easy place to get a pretty decent meal. This is a counter walk up place for food to go or to stay. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the food comes out quickly. I had a carne asada burrito and enjoyed it! I could have used a little more pico but the beans and rice were great and the steak is well seasoned.

Ordered from DoorDash so YMMV -- I received my order of 1 Al Pastor Burrito in a paper bag with the chips in the same bag (not in its own bag) & the burrito was on top of the chips so it ended up crushing them... The creamy orange sauce salsa included was def good but that's the most I can compliment for the food The burrito innards were very orange throughout, and consisted of just Mexican rice, pork, and maybe some pico de gallo? The meat in my Al Pastor burrito was chewy and pretty tough, and the seasoning/spices on it was kind of odd to me--I was tasting some cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y, very PSL kinda flavors, and was not a fan of this flavor combo personally.
