Mayan for "food for the lords," Papatzul is also the name of a traditional Mexican dish: an egg-stuffed tortilla baked in pumpkin seed sauce, as well as the most unbelievably delicious restaurant in NYC. And this restaurant located at 55 Grand St. in the fabulous Soho area serves food that is nothing short of being fit for a king. Combining the most savory flavors of Mexico City, Papatzul is by far the most incredibly delectable authentic Mexican food I have ever tasted. It is also my new favorite restaurant in all of Manhattan. The atmosphere is casual, cozy, and colorful, with an incredible collection of festive masks hanging from Mango-colored walls. The lighting sets a perfectly opulent ambiance, featuring beautifully decorated wall sconces with glowing candles and an exquisite skyline lining the top of the back wall. But the food is what will definitely keep you coming back for more! The Ceviche combines the most succulent flavors with the perfect balance of spice and tang. The Flauta's de Pollo (chicken flautas) were divine. And the Sopes con Calabaza, Hongos, y Queso, which are a combination of mushrooms, spices, and goat cheese, is the tastiest sensation your mouth has ever enjoyed and my most highly recommended dish on the menu! And for a heavenly sweet treat, you have to try the Aqua de Jamaica. It's a non-alcoholic drink from Mexico made with the dried hibiscus flower of Jamaica. It is so sweet and luscious you won't be able to have just one! But no matter what you order and try, I promise you this, this is a restaurant you'd absolutely be crazy to miss!
