Papalote
Mexican$$
A Mexican restaurant and agave bar from the team behind Flotilla and Humbug.
Newcastle food royalty, Stephanie Wells and Michael Portley of Humbug, and Eduardo Molina of Flotilla, have teamed up to create tacos – the kind that come filled with roasted poblano peppers and barbecued beef tongue, that is.
Cochinita pibil, achiote-marinated whole pig, is cooked Yucatan-style, in a pit of coals for eight hours, while tangelo, jicama (Mexican turnip) and Tajin pay tribute to the fruit cups many Mexican street vendors sell. Molina’s wine list is far-reaching, spotlighting bottles from Spanish-speaking regions.
