“Papalote’s is a really unique place I think.
It feels very authentic, and obviously so is all the food. I had never been there before Marlon suggested it, but I definitely plan on going more now.
I tried the “Pastor Tacos” which is described as “Pineapple jaujillo rubbed grilled pork topped with onions and cilantro,” and I was immediately a fan. The pork was soft, had great flavor, and was complimented well by the onions and cilantro.
I really enjoyed my tacos, and also had a good time hanging out with the guys at Papalote’s.
I was the one to suggest we go to Papalote’s.
It’s somewhere that I’ve eaten at a lot of times and really enjoy being at. The tacos I like to get are the “Pollo A La Parilla.” They are very good, especially because they are so unique.
This puts them above a lot of other taco places in Austin, which can all start to feel the same. The grilled chicken has a lot of flavors, which I couldn’t distinguish, but when the ingredients come together it’s always delicious.

Papalote’s is an obvious Austin classic.
Over the years I have lived here, I’ve heard the name over and over again through my classmates, and was not disappointed when I finally got around to trying it.
My taco of choice was the “Carnitas Tacos.” I’ve had a lot of ‘carnitas tacos’ in my day, but I must say this was one of the best ones. The meat was perfectly soaked, shredded, and melted in your mouth instantly. I would always recommend this if you live on the south side of Lamar and are looking for a great taco.
