Papatzul
7.6
A SoHo Mexican dining room with a more date-friendly, sit-down feel and a menu that leans into classic preparations rather than street-food minimalism. It’s a good pick when you want a longer meal with cocktails and shared plates, but the value proposition depends on ordering smart.

Cochinita pibil, Guacamole, Happy hour oysters
