First time visit! Have been seeing their Reels for months…FANTASTIC! Worth the drive! Chicken and an Al Pastor Taco, it’s Sunday..had to have the Birria with both the “Papi and Gringo ” style! Absolutely delish. Had the place to ourselves, Huero was super friendly and quick! Will definitely be back! Horchata was smooth too! ❤️ ❤️

Not a small taco! As you can see, the portion sizes are fantastic, better than most sit down restaurants. The meat and seafood are seasoned and cooked to perfection and our order was done in mere minutes! Yes, there are a few other Mexican/Hispanic food places nearby, but they all have different menus and none of them have this level of quality with the speed of preparation similar to that of a fast food place. And being a spicy food lover, I always appreciate a hot salsa to compliment my food Yum! I didn’t even realize this place existed, but I happened to be getting gas, and noticed the sign. Definitely, worth stopping in. We’ll be back!

I’ve been to some spots in Chicago that would rival street tacos in Mexico so it’s very crazy for me to say this but after one quick visit to try this spot located next to a gas station blew my mind after one carry out order. That is because they provided hands down THE BEST pastor tacos I have ever tried in my life!!!
Lord almighty they were so juicy and succulent. I cannot wait to go back and try some other things on their menu.

I have to share just how special our takeout experience from Papi Chulo’s was! We decided to grab some food to go, and even though we weren’t dining in, we felt the warmth and care that makes this place so special.

We absolutely loved their queso—honestly, it’s a must-have. The carne asada fries were delicious, and the Thursday quesadilla special was such a great deal at just $8. Everything tasted incredible, even after the drive home.

But the real heart of our experience was David. Even though we just picked up our order, this “wee little man” (as we affectionately called him) poured so much heart into making our food and just brightened our day. His kindness and the care he showed made us feel like we were truly part of the Papi Chulo’s family, even just picking up takeout.

We can’t recommend them enough—amazing food, heartwarming service, and the kind of personal touch that makes you want to come back again and again.

SO SO SOOOO GOOD!!! I ordered the steak street taco dinner, elote, kids beef taco dinner and a steak burrito. Everything was so fresh and authentic! I was fortunate to meet the owner, and he begins to talk about featuring birria and my eyes lit up! I was able to sample it, and you NEED to run!! It was the freshest, tastiest, authentic birria I have ever tasted! It had the perfect spice, and I will be so excited to order this in the future!! Do yourself a favor and stop in!! The horchata is also to die for!!! So happy to have such great authentic food in the area!!

Service was great. The staff was very helpful. The chicken burrito was very large. The chicken in it was delicious. You get a filling mean for about $13 a person.
For the tacos, we ate a carne asada, pastor, and chicken. The chicken was the favorite, then the carne asada, then the pastor.
We will definitely eat here again if we’re in the area.

Ok, I want to say I’ve been giving reviews for a while now and I want to let everyone know this place won my heart (stomach, wallet)!
We decided to swing in and try Papi Chulo’s at lunch on a Sunday. Always driving by to get to the gym. We had been wanting to stop and finally did. Thank goodness!
We were impressed by their simplistic menu with enough choices to make for multiple people to have different options.
The cooking line is wide open so you can see all the ingredients and the process of your food being cooked right there.
The gentleman at the register was clean and friendly. Very polite and didn’t rush us at all. The “cook”, who turned out to be none other than Papi himself, was very friendly and communicated with us as well!
We were delivered out order and were immediately surprised with the SIZE of everything and pleased with the price/size comparison!!! ( Come hungry!!). The food had a very pleasant look and smell!!
So excited to bite into this authentic yet appealing looking dish at this point!! Then we did….. OMG! Flavor EXPLOSION in our mouths!! We like food and we were both pleasantly surprised and excited in the flavors quickly sharing bites back and forth!
It was NOT really spicy even for someone who didn’t like heat, her not me lol… I added some of their HOME MADE sauces to a few bites.
The avocado salsa was great, the red HOT was spicy but full of great flavors. They had 2 others I didn’t try! I got wrapped up in the awesome flavors and ate my whole meal and didn’t get to them…. Oh darn!! Will have to come back!!! Woohoo!!!
While eating, we were checked on a few times and asked if everything was good and if we needed anything!!!
We finished our meals, leftovers for her and a greasy stain on my shirt! Lol.
The owner made sure to thank us and I felt obliged to walk over and tell him how impressed we were with this establishment. The food, price, and service were all great.
Papi, we WILL be back and we enjoyed our meal here!!!
Sincerely,
Joe

I’ve been coming to this gas station for a few weeks now finally decided to try this restaurant and yes it’s amazing. I encourage whoever is reading this give them a try. Wish I would of thought about leaving a review before I polished off my beef nachos. They was delicious. Come ask for david.

Pleasantly surprised. The portions were huge, the flavor was different than the other places in the area and that was welcomed. I was hoping to say “it’s good for a gas station taco place” I am saying “that it’s one of the best Mexican places in the ST John area. “
