Dreaming of Papusas
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

11/21/2006 Posted by houseofpearl

God bless the soul that created the Papusa. I have been to this place 3 times and I still can't bring myself to order anything else. Don't get me wrong, the menu is amazing. They have an entire page of guac dips and a world of other great sounding dishes but the Papusas, oh the papusa and all its cheesy black-beany goodness!!! Our server never mentioned, luckily the kitchen staff clued us in: put the cole-slaw stuff on top if the papusa...don't eat it on the side. Oh, and the house margarita is great! *Friendly staff *Great menu *Fun neighborhood *Frequent Lunch card (buy 8 lunches get one free)

Pros: friendly staff, ambience, fun neighborhood
