Papatzul: If you like your Mexican cuisine as basic as a Beetle on the streets of Tijuana, Papatzul is your place. Located amidst the holier-than-thou SoHo fodder, this homey restaurant and bar will surely fire up your quiet evening with border-patrol stiff margaritas (the bartender made the recipes himself) and a guacamole bowl fresher than a federale frisking. While the menu is basic south-of the-border fare, the drinks are anything but (don’t miss the infamous sangria). With authentic cuisine and a mind-numbing drink menu, Papatzul is a friendly reminder of how quality Mexican should always taste better than a face-full of Volkswagen exhaust. |
