These are some of the best tacos I've had in my life. We ordered the Alambre, the turkey & pork mole tacos, the pastor, the mushroom, and the fried avocado. The mushroom taco needed a bit of their salsa verde, but that was excellent too, and their horchata was perfect as well. Clear five stars, this will probably be our go-to taco place in Austin going forward.

I've been going to Papalote ever since 2015 and I'm so happy they have had so much success that they could expand into the space next to them! I got this fish tacos and al pastor on flour and both were fresh and flavorful! The picture makes them look a little small but it was definitely a good amount of food. Not pictured, but I love their breakfast tacos!! Definitely don't skip on those! And I think they're served all day!

Wanted some fresh tacos. I got them. I personally felt the need to add the sauces due to not overly much flavor. I liked the pastor the most of the three items I got. The napas was good on my tostadas. I felt looking at the costs it wasn't too badly priced. The service was a a bit messed up. My friends ordered a torta. She had a conversation about not the special yet was rang out for the special and got the wrong order at first. Overall once that was corrected along with drinks settled, we didn't mind it. I'd have preferred homemade tortillas but for the cost I get it. Overall it was a simple spot. Decent amount of seating and parking on the front and back.

I stopped eating tacos because of the carbs then realized it was because of the pastries and now it's December so ALL BETS ARE OFF. Hey Papalote, new favorite horchata, it's vanilla and cinnamon that could maybe cut out a cookie or 2 this season. Alambres - seared steak and bacon with poblano peppers and provolone cheese - think Mexican Philly cheesesteak with an avocado on top (now it's *healthy*). The salsa roja is a nice spicy kick to tie the flavors together. Next visit, I'll return to my OG fave, the pescado in chipotle on their perfect corn tortillas. Always more to love.

Hindsight is 20/20 but I deeply regret all the time I've spent driving down South Lamar and not stopping at Papalote. It has all the elements of a fantastic everyday kinda meal: Affordable, unpretentious, quick, homey, satisfying, and healthyish (if you want). Vegan options are slim but solid. Best of all, staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and can help when in doubt. You can't go wrong with the hongos y espazote tacos because seriously, mushrooms topped with avocado in tender corn tortillas? Say no more. The fried avocado taco (minus cheese) though, that's a real prize. Crispy on the outside and buttery inside, they're perfectly cooked and properly seasoned. In a town of many tacos, these are worthy contenders. Don't make my same mistake; stop in early and often.

We ordered bfast tacos here via Yelp/grub hub at around 10 am on a Saturday. The wait was short. We got a migas taco and two Al pastor tacos plus an horchata. The horchata was huge! Well worth the price. The tacos were not as big as I was expecting. I am a light eater and felt as I needed two. The Yelp/grub hub status said it would take around 30-45 minutes, but it was much faster than that so I would disregard the time in the status.

Hadn't been here in a while and wanted to check out out again. Two ingredient (plus egg included) breakfast tacos here at Papalote Taco House for about $3 per. Good size. Good price. I did chorizo and pablano plus egg and sausage and potato plus egg on flour. Flour tortillas are OK. They need to be crisped up a bit more before serving. Good flavor. A bit thick. I love pablano, but I can't advise eating here. It isn't cooked enough and the waxy skin still it on. They need to char them, remove the skins, then put longer (softer) strips inside. Chorizo was fine, but the bad pablano semi ruined that one for me. The sausage and potato was a surprise winner. Nice chunks of sausage. Eggs are well cooked. Winner. Salsa Roja has a nice kick. Salsa Verde is mild, but fine. Pretty good spot. Will try again.
