"I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delicious! The wait staff were very nice. The waitress brought me the check without asking if we wanted coffee or dessert and that turned me off a little, and the pitcher of sangria was over priced! The food however was worth it!"

"This was our second visit and it was as good as the first one. Great fish tacos, although they could have less breading. Good margaritas and friendly service. The tables were close and didn't allow for much privacy."

Review 6 for Papatzul

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The food was well above par - delicious with an unusual blending of flavors. Unique spin on Mexican. Alas, on the night we ate there, there was only one waitress for the entire dining room. It was very hard for her to keep up with drink and food orders thus service was less than adequate - not the waitresses fault at all. Just the same, we will go back again."

"The duck tacos are delish! The service is kind of hit or miss. The night we went we had reservations and our server was good. Good drinks - a solid margarita. Fun and energetic. Decor is kitchy, cute."

"Service was slow once we were seated. Several tables had their orders taken before us, even though we were seated first. The food was okay, but not great.

The hostess was very friendly and helpful. She seated us immediately, even though we were a bit early."
