Description: The victor of our 2004 postseason tournament and close runnerup in our 2006 Slab Scrum, Papalote's original location has become the quietly infallible kingpin of the Missions ultracompetitive taqueria scene. Its slightly off the beaten path, humbly sized, family operated, and pretty much a sure thing every time. Taq. Pancho Villa may have the security guard and the gymnasiumsize dining hall, La Taqueria may have the tacky neon sign proclaiming its burritos the greatest things since sliced sesos, and El Metate may be the new hotshot in the neighborhood. In our book, Papalote steamhammers them all even if the dining room itself could sorely use some ventilation on warm days. Specify a foil wrap if thats your game of cards, and check the rotating art exhibits on display. Breakfast and bottled beer available all day. Credit cards accepted. Papalote Web site.
