Great, healthy burritos

by malorielucich

Papalote has a great selection of healthy, hearty burritos. The line can get really long, so be sure to call ahead.

Clean, fantastic food!

by taoseattle

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.

Burritos, Burritos, and Tacos!

by heatherer

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.
