WHATS UP AT PAPACITOS?

2009-05-19T16:26:00.000-07:00

Okay, here's the deal loyal fans and friends. We are all hungry to start off the summer party Papacitos style, so here is the information we have so you can start planning your summer parties

THE GOOD NEWS FIRST:

The garden this year will take you out of you city rut and drop your ass right into the tropical lush world of Mexico. Think Frida Kalo back yard and you'll be pretty spot on. We have added about 30 more seats, lush tropical plants, killer lighting and a mellow surround sound. We are going to focus on it being a lovely place to dine day or night. We will be serving many flavors of tropical summer non-a drinks, like Fresh Watermelon Frescas, Strawberry Batitas, Mango Nectar and Horcchata with Fresh Cinnamon.

THE OTHER NEWS:

Papacitos will no longer be serving beer or sangria, until mid summer, thanks for your patience and understanding. In addition we will have a smoking section, with strict enforcement as it pertains to health code. Basically if you loved getting totally wasted and not paying for your drinks at our sudo bar last summer then you might not like the new Papacitos, but if you really love the food and the atmosphere then you already know what’s up! and THANK YOU FOR THAT!

Papacitos can get crazy...please be patient with your server and our staff: as you are waiting for you food, just chill out, its sunny and warm, the servers are hot, your surrounded by friends and neighbors and what you might not know, is that the reason your food is taking a little while is that we have a full dining room, 100 deliveries going out the front door and most likely a line for takeout. So you're the lucky ones in the garden, kick back, hook your server up an all will be good.

MEXICAN GARDEN BRUNCH: Saturday an Sunday 11:00am-4:00pm

We will be also be doing our soon to be so packed and awesome: Mexican Garden Brunch with all new Brunch Specials, amazing Iced Coffee from Brooklyn Standard Bodega "our sister venture". Our Brunch menu will Feature ORGANIC EGGS and Locally Source Produce for our Specials. Brunch will be an enjoyable morning at Papacitos with Live Music on the Weekends.

New BRUNCH menu to start in JUNE, Chef Cody Utzman who brought the neighborhood his amazing Time Out Best Breakfast/Brunch to Greenpoint a few Years ago is hard at work conceptualizing a new menu that will sure to be the talk of the town. Check back on web site for debut date.

BOOK YOUR PARTY NOW:

Every night of the week and weekend we will be taking 2-3 reservation for a group of at least 12 people, call now to book your party. WE CAN NOT ACCOMADATE MORE THE 1 Large Group at a time so book now.

BATHROOM:

OMG, YES we have a bathroom for the backyard. No more walking around to the front of the store!! I know you all thought that was the coolest thing about Papacitos anyways.

AND FINALLY:

We are expanding to the space next door, soon papacitos will offer booth seating, full bar with 15 places to plant your ass, 4 bathrooms, indoor/outdoor design and new expanded hours..get nacho cheese sauce on your chin till 4 am!!

Brooklyn Goes Veg + Papacitos

2008-10-20T09:43:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn Goes Veg is happening this week and Papacitos is one of the restaurants participating in the event. Read the full article in the Brooklyn Paper.

"Next week is Brooklyn’s second annual vegetarian restaurant week — but even the organizer says the herbivorous event can’t blossom because diners keep getting steered towards beef, pork, poultry and other protein-packed pleasures of the flesh.

Only seven restaurateurs from Greenpoint to Park Slope concocted special vegetarian and vegan menus to lure in plant-eaters for “Brooklyn Goes Veg!” between Oct. 19 and 25."

Right: Papacito'c Chef-Owner, Cody Utzman.

What a Fool Believes blog about Papacitos

2008-07-29T11:05:00.000-07:00

Nice little write up on "What a fool believes" blog about Papcitos and our amazing fish tacos and charm. Here is what they had to say:

"

Papacitos, located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is an outdoor restaurant serving Mexican street food. Soon it will have an indoor area, but for now it’s a simple patio area with picnic tables, a few plants, a couple of signs for Mexican beers, an eclectic mix of music blasting from a boombox and a bar. Very basic and very relaxed. More like a friend’s barbecue than a restaurant, which gives it a ton of charm.

Then there’s the food.

My girlfriend loves Mexican food and fish tacos are one of her favorite dishes. She’s had them across the country. New York, Florida, California. Though you don’t know her, trust me when I say that she knows what she’s talking about. What is she talking about? How Papacitos has the best fish tacos she’s ever eaten.

I’m no expert, but I agree. Made of tilapia, pickled cabbage, onions, cilantro and a, we believe, sour cream-based white sauce, the tacos were absolutely delicious. Warm, fresh and totally satisfying. You can order 1, 2 or 3. She got 3, I got 2. Luckily, she was nearly full after 2 and I got to eat most of her third. If my stomach was big enough, I would have eaten 9. The flavors were so distinct, clean and just damned tasty.

In addition to the tacos, we got an order of chips and salsa. The chips, which are made from scratch, were warm and delicious. As was the salsa, which was finely chopped, but still thick and hearty. So good. So, so good.

The whole experience lead my girlfriend to utter the above quote during our meal. I had no answer for her.

Walking back to our apartment afterwards, we were positively beatific. Belinda Carlisle was right, Heaven is a place on Earth. A place located conveniently in our neighborhood."

Papcitos on Williamsboard

a few posts:

"that was killer. i'm so stoked to have this place in the neighborhood."
"BTW this place had a TON of veg/vegan options."
"I went there on memorial day prior to the official opening. This place is mad chill."
"I am OBSESSED with this place. And they're taking over the indoor restaurant space the backyard is attached to, so youll soon be able to eat delicious tacos even in the rain. I wish they were open right now!"
"AMAZING. fuck yes! eating here everyday!"

"by the end of the summer its gonna be impossible to get a table at this place."

"Chef Cody Utzman, formerly of Brooklyn Label, has struck out on his own with Papacito — "hot man" in English — a beer garden and taqueria serving up bare-bones snacks and big beers in a lot on Huron Street (between Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street) in Greenpoint. On a recent walk by, the space was so crowded that we had to move on to Acapulco around the corner to quell our guacamole craving. Welcome back, Cody!"

Blogged about on Greenpointers Blog

from a blog on greenpointers.blogspot.com

"It has taken me two full days to recover from this weekend. Drinking, partying and other unmentionables in a four day span with some of the most beautiful weather we've seen in a good long while. It was a great weekend to be 'stuck' in the city. It was also nice that for the most part the neighborhood was quiet. The bars were full but not packed, the vibe was relaxed and all in all it was a kick-ass holiday.

We hit all the local spots and had a great time.

One of the highlights of the weekend was checking out Cody Utzman's (formerly of Brooklyn Label) new joint just for the Summer. Papacito's is his new Mexican venture on Huron right off Manhattan Ave in an outdoor space behind the laundromat. He had a Memorial Day BBQ complete with burgers, steak and rice and beans. Plus all Mexican beers which was a nice touch and Danny the bartender kicked ass. Cheap eats, outdoor space and beer. Pretty much all you need from Memorial to Labor Day."

South of the Border, by way of Greenpoint

2008-07-02T19:34:00.000-07:00

This is from a blog on BrooklynBased.net

New York, Brooklyn included, exists within a sort of Mexican food black hole. Either you have to hunt far and wide for the good stuff (like Chavella’s), be prepared to pay NYC prices for street food (like $9 carnitas tacos at Bonita) — or hold your breath until the Red Hook Ball Fields reopen (latest, most optimistic assessment: mid-June).

A few Red Hook vendors have set up shop at the Brooklyn Flea, but you can also satisfy your south of the border cravings in north Brooklyn, on a stretch of Manhattan Ave. in Greenpoint filled with Mexican and South American restaurants.

Papacito’s [NEW] (no phone, 162 Huron St. at Manhattan Ave., behind the M & W Laundromat) Cody Utzman, formerly of Brooklyn Label, opened this place — basically a concrete patio with brightly painted walls, a cinder block bar and some big picnic tables — on a dime and a summer prayer. The food is not authentic Mexican, but the guacamole is delicious, the tacos are satisfying, and one of the girls sharing our picnic table favorably compared the vegetarian burritos to the seed of God, but in less delicate terms. Oh, and the crowner (that stood in the way of noting Papacito’s hours)? You can get a 32 oz. Tecate in a bucket of ice served with a pile of lime wedges.

Taken from a blog on bikeportland.org

"Today this new place opened up just two short blocks from the studio. Best Mexican food I've had in the East. Perfectly grilled fish tacos with pickled cabbage just like off an LA taco cart. Can't wait to plow through the rest of the menu. Plus, it FEELS like the West, laid-back, the whole neighborhood hanging out together, dogs, one of the owners misted everyone in the courtyard every twenty minutes or so... heaven in Greenpoint.

It's gonna be a great summer!"
