In addition to making an effective meat and cheese container, a crispy corn tortilla shell crafts a tasty bill for an anthropomorphic waterfowl disguise. Celebrate the tortilla's numerous mouth-centric uses with today's Groupon at El Papalote in Stone Oak. Based out of Monterrey, Mexico, El Papalote uses fresh, high-quality ingredients to whip up authentic, grilled Northern Mexican cuisine in a rustic, laid-back setting. Kick back in a cozy booth, listen to live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, or settle down with friends and friendly strangers on the outdoor patio. Check out the menu for a full listing of tasty tacos as well as fajitas, queso flameado, steaks, and sandwiches.
Reviews
Critics at San Antonio Express-News named El Papalote best fries of 2009. Texas Monthly, San Antonio Express-News, and the Current reviewed the restaurant. Yelpers give it an average of 3.5 stars.
- Based in Mexico, El Papalote brings a robust and fresh approach with its first U.S. outpost. With nary an enchilada, the long menu emphasizes the grilled meats and vegetables of northern Mexican cuisine. There are about a dozen beef tacos and a similar number of shrimp ones (we especially liked the Papalote-style, with bacon, green pepper, and mushrooms). – Texas Monthly
- We liked the spicy house chips and the salsas, focusing on chiles rather than tomatoes. – Karen Haram, _San Antonio Express-News
