We are amidst Bklyn Goes Veg!, didn’t you know? Although the list of participating restaurants is a bit sparse, I most likely would not have stumbled upon Papacitos in Greenpoint so soon had I not been on the BGV mailing list. Papacitos is a spectacular addition to the north side, serving up one killer vegan burrito. In fact, this place blows every burrito joint in NYC out of the water! The seitan asada, cubed vegan cheese (Follow Your Heart I think) and tofu sour cream are not expensive add-ons to an otherwise bland basic burrito. The rice, beans, salsa and guac are all worthy enough for their own starring role within the warm tortilla… but you get ‘em all! 
The mexi-kitsch decor of the place exudes a west coast vibe. And, let’s face it, the west does burritos a helluva lot better than the east coast.
Salsa and chips are must-haves but not complimentary. You’ll shell out $4 for a basket of fresh made chips and a salsa that isn’t just red and wet, it’s yum. Guacamole will also cost ya. It may have been an error, but this part of our meal was more than our main courses. $10 for one order of chips, salsa and guacamole? 
The dim light doesn’t do much to illuminate this burrito’s beauty but trust me here… muy delicioso.
