Speaking of Mexican stuff: The upcoming planned expansion of Mamacita to the former Eos space in Cole Valley, which had been named Papazote (it means “big papa,” get it?) has hit a little snag. As Eater reports, the guys who own popular taqueria Papalote think the names could get too easily confused, and they’re probably right. So now it’s up to the Mamacita team to come up with something new for their slightly more upscale Mexican concept (but it sounds like they still want Papa or at least Mama in there somehow). Any suggestions? [Eater, Earlier]
