"This resturant was really good. Service was incredibly fast. Fast food doesnt even come out as fast usually. I was looking forward to the spicy blueberry margarita that I saw in a tiktok and I was told they didn't have it. So that was a huge bummer. But the food was amazing. Tasted authentic. Portions are large. I took home several to-go boxes. The margaritas are also a really good price. I like the atmosphere and decor. However. The big mural looks AI and kinda cheap looking. Servers were all in good moods and joking and having fun. I was in the booth facing the POS so I got to see all of them a lot haha. I will be going back for sure. But please bring back that spicy blueberry margarita. Or make a blueberry basil one like Social Cantina does. Thats my favorite."

"The atmosphere was definitely unique for a restaurant, in a good way. Refreshing, from the same old theme of a Mexican restaurant. It feels like they peel off another layer into the culture. The food and service were very good. The cherry old fashioned was really a different spin on an old fashioned, I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be returning."

"I don't always give all five stars, but when I go to a place like Papi Chulo's I do! ¡Papi Chulo's es el MEJOR! Fast and friendly service! Food is amazing! This place is a true gem. Wheelchair accessible street parking, accessible entrance, seating and bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor dining, weather permitting. Music venue right behind Papi's where you can enjoy the music from their outdoor patio! This place is beautiful inside, fun, and a great place for kids. But, aesthetic enough to take a date and enjoy some adult beverages. The price is really, really affordable and some of the dishes are a real bargain like Ahi tuna dish (chef's kiss). So far I've had the Havana and Mexican burger, and both were literally amazing. ¡Much as gracias, Papi! ¡Bienvenido al barrio!"

"This is the 2nd time we have eaten here. The first time the food and service was great but we wanted to make sure it wasn't a one time thing. We came in tonight and the food and atmosphere was great. The service even better than the first. We would both highly recommend this restaurant. I've also had several friends that agree that the food is fantastic. You should definitely try it."
