An excellent place that serves great authentic Mexican food that specializes in birria. Counter service that is fast and friendly with a wide selection of dishes. A selection of beer or cocktails with N/A choices too to quench your thirst. Smoke indoor/outdoor seating with a great location. Parking can be tough during the tourist season. Expect upscale prices for a taco shop. I’ll return anytime I’m in the mood for great tacos and especially anything birria.

Really good Birria Tacos , lots of meat and super tasty, price per taco is fair with the amount of meat. Prep was well done. If you are in Bend visiting , don’t forget to put this in your list of food places to try !!!

This place is a unicorn when it comes to price AND quality – $11 for 2 of the best (loaded!) birria tacos I’ve had to date the broth for dip was outstanding, we were eating it up with our leftover chips when our entrées were finished. Warm, friendly service, great atmosphere. I usually don’t leave reviews for restaurants but this place is EXCEPTIONAL. We will be back! Maybe tomorrow

Papi Chulos Taqueria has a great atmosphere and truly outstanding customer service. The woman at the front was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. She spoke both English and Spanish, which made the experience even more enjoyable as we were able to chat in Spanish. That kind of connection really added a personal touch.
As someone from a border city where authentic Mexican food is part of everyday life, I was excited to try a variety of tacos here. I ordered the birria, carne asada, camarón, and cochinita pibil tacos. The birria and camarón tacos were the highlights—full of flavor and cooked just right. The camarón taco especially stood out as one of the best.
However, the carne asada lacked seasoning and didn’t deliver much flavor. The cochinita pibil, unfortunately, didn’t resemble the traditional dish—it tasted like it had been thawed in water and was missing the rich, seasoned flavor you’d expect. I wouldn’t say the tacos overall are very authentic, at least from the perspective of someone familiar with traditional Mexican cuisine.
Still, the friendly service and a couple of standout tacos made the visit enjoyable. I’d rate the food a soft 3 out of 5—some great potential with room for improvement in authenticity and flavor.

Birria burrito was great, along with many other things we ordered tacos, etc. yum! On a separate visit the Papi burrito was also delicious despite being their most simple/inexpensive burrito.

Best breakfast burrito I’ve had in a long time. Most places skimp on any seasoning on bfast items, not the case here. Price is on the higher end when adding meat and tip but quality is excellent.

I have tried a half dozen Mexican restaurants in Bend and this one is my favorite for sure. The Buritto Bowl with Chicken is so darn good with a perfect flavor mix. Tacos a yes and of course you should splurge on Chips and their awesome queso sauce.

Papi Chulos’s is a colorful mexican restaurant with a cool atmosphere. You order at the countertop and take a number, and then they bring it out to you. The burrito bowl and chips / guac / pico were good. I really liked their green and red sauce that came with. Super flavorful with good spice. Food and drinks came quickly, and the staff came in to check on us a couple of times. Everything else is self-service.
There wasn’t anything super special/standout about our experience there, but it was a good meal.

Enjoyed a quick bite to eat on a Saturday evening. It was our first time in and we will be back. I always enjoy outdoor seating and there is plenty of it. They had plenty of margaritas options. I went with the spicy mango which was pretty good, but I’d like to try some of the others. They do offer pitchers if you are going with a larger group.

Great vegetarian options. My husband ordered the poblano tacos and they were delicious. The sauce on the tacos was very flavorful. I was full and didn’t try anything but my husband was very happy with all the veggie options. We will visit again!
