If you're doing a burrito stroll in the Mission, Papalote is a

little off the well-trodden path by the standards of location,

decor, and menu. Behind its bright-blue-tile facade, you'll find an

ordering counter and a small but comfy dining room hung with cool

framed photographs. The menu board includes some uncommon offerings

in addition to the classic carne asada and chile verde: On the no-

meat tip there's marinated tofu (tinted with achiote), soyrizo, and

grilled veggies; for gourmands, there's chicken mole, and shrimp or

fish sautéed in white wine and butter, plus your choice of regular,

whole wheat, spinach, or roma tomato tortillas. Papalote's Web site

features a mission statement (pun unintended, we think) over an

adorable photo of the owners as toddlers in matching yellow T-shirts

in Chapultepec in 1975: " To prepare outstanding Mexican dishes with

the freshest meats and produce available, and serve them in a

comfortable and exciting atmosphere. "
