We love the tables to sit and have our food fresh, but the takeout has also been easy and just as good. The price for the portions is great and the food delicious every single time. We have tried a lot of options here, tacos, burritos, nachos, the super taco combo, and their different juices. All good. Would recommend if you're looking for a chill Mexican spot with even better food.

Terrific menu, service, and experience. This was our second visit, and everything I recall from the…read morefirst was duplicated perfectly. The person at the counter taking our order was helpful, efficient, and their enthusiasm carried over into the dining portion of the visit. My rule of thumb is that if a place has Cochinita Pibil on the menu, then they can be counted on to do things right. My CP taco had just the right amount of spice to leave me with a pleasant, warm feeling inside, about a half hour after we left. The horchata was cool and soothing, even though it had a wonderful, over-the-top cinnamon flavor. Having tables with permanently assigned numbers, and having your table assigned at the time you place your order makes for a spectacularly efficient way of getting you settled, and getting your food to the table in short order. Their artwork adds to the joyous ambiance - photo tributes to entertainers makes it fun.

On the menu, each item's name is a different color and each color correlates with a price ranging from about $4.50-5.50.

Salsas were self serve in the mini fridge.

I know "real Latin/Mexican" and "Tex Mex" food. The food at the place HORRIBLE!!! The Esquites was dry and lacked any flavor. The Cheesy Refried Bean with chorizo as the ONLY decent thing we ordered. The carne asada, pork chili verde, carnitas tacos and carne asada were all BLAND. The service was great. As we were leaving the line of granola looking folks clearly told me exactly why this place has so many good reviews. NEVER AGAIN!

In the back of a Mexican grocery store in historic St. John's is a no frills eatery with no prices…read more You'd have to assume the prices are lower than any other Mexican restaurant. My guess is it's a sliding scale-prices depend on how Spanish or not you may be. Perhaps if you work on your Spanish speaking they'll give you a discount. One can only speculate. I ordered a few tacos, the standards: Al pastor, asada, carnitas. With these I feel you can't go wrong, and you won't be surprised by textures that lengua, cabeza, or tripa have. The seating is spacious, plentiful, and the most casual (think of mom and pop).

The small and expanding restaurant is not you're top class, but definitely a home feel for some authentic Mexican food. One of my favorite is a typical burrito filled with rice beans with your favorite meat selection. On Sundays their Menudo is one of my favorites. Service is average. It's definitely one of my top 10 taco places in PDX.

Oh yum!!! Several friends and I stopped in here for lunch and we all agreed that everything we has…read morewas great. I had a couple of tacos a la carte - one fish & one prawns. Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

It is the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, and the service was genuinely great throughout. We ordered the Quekas with vegan chorizo and black beans and they were SO good, honestly a standout. The chips and guac were also a hit, and I loved that the guac was actually cold. Such a small detail that makes a big difference. The Citrus Salad was super fresh, crisp, and delicious, which balanced everything out perfectly. I also tried the NA classic margarita and it was so refreshing. I loved the subtle touch of orange juice. Overall, such a lovely spot with amazing food, great vibes, and thoughtful details. I will definitely be back!

I mean, yes, a…read moremargarita is enough for me, but sometimes it's nice to be able to order food and not have to say - - hold the cheese, hold the sour cream. So, the idea of a vegan mexican place is super exciting to me. We were here last Saturday for a late lunch. This is an order at the counter kind of place. Their menu isn't huge but there were several things that sounded delicious to me. And I was happy to be there with someone because sharing is caring. We started with margaritas - - I got mango, yum - - and chips and guacamole. I ordered the quesadilla with tofu and my husband got enchiladas with chorizo. All was delicious and had a nice kick. Don't forget to bus your own table :)

I ordered 2 vegan al pastor tacos. Each taco was flavorful. I loved the pickled radish on top of the tacos! The hot sauce was SPICY. You get to choose your own spice level from mild, medium, to hot. I would definitely come back for more tacos and possibly other options on their menu. I know that there are other locations around Portland, so I would encourage anyone to try as their tacos were flavorful and worth every bite. Lots of seating by pioneer square. There are also different food carts to try too. Quick service too.

Got the chicken and shrimp tacos only just to try but then went back and got 2 more shrimps. Great tacos, get it with no cabbage. Both chicken and shrimp are juicy and delicious. The very next day, went back to have more. The guy remembered us as soon as we pulled up. It's a really nice location to just sit and eat and people watch. Can't wait to come back to Portland!!

Strawberry Horchata not available. My favorite are the horchata and cheesy quesadilla. They have an…read moreamazing green sauce and good red sauce. Pros: 1) Horchata is a nice spicy creamy drink. 2) Quesdila is a nice soft shell and the cheese comes through on this one unlike non distinct plastic. 3) The green sauce has a sweetness to it and its freshness compliments anything you decide to pair it with. The red sauce is good but not like the green sauce. Cons: 1) Maybe it's an off day but the mulitas, quesotaco and vampiro meat is mediocre and the cheese on these didn't shine like it did on the quesadilla - almost plastic tasting like. 2) Consome is very mild, doesn't really compliment the meal Overall rating 3.25/5, the sauces bring the rating to 4/5 if you really want to count that.

This is why I love Mexican food and Italian food. They're so close together that they just have an explosion of love in your mouth and I could tell that the food here is really good quality.

Went to Papi Chulo's last night and the experience was ridiculous, and the food was pretty bad. My…read moregirlfriend and I were running errands yesterday evening, and decided to order some burritos for pick up when we were done. And to be honest, we were debating whether to get papi chulo's or not since it was a weeknight and we never eat out on weeknights. Safe to say, it was a mistake. They told her on the phone that our pick up order would be ready in 10 min. I walked in there 15 min later to get it, and it was not ready. The gentleman helping me out when I walked in looked like he had zero idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the pick up order name. He then immediately walked away from me and went to the register, and proceeded to ask me what I ordered and at this point, I knew he didn't know what it was and he said, "oh, it will be ready in 7 minutes." I ordered only 3 Breakfast burritos with no meat or anything in them - so, I thought 7 min wasn't too bad. Boy, was I wrong. It actually took 20 min (yes, 20 min) with me standing there by the table until the order was ready with no number or anything. I'll remind you all that there were legit 2 other customers in there and ONE CUSTOMER received their order before our 3 breakfast burritos were ready! That isn't right. I get sometimes food takes awhile, but both of them didn't apologize or anything while I was waiting. I've been to Muchas Gracious waiting for my order before, and they offered me a free drink because they felt bad they were having me wait 5 min! I don't accept it because I felt bad, but the point is, the lack of accountability and customer service during this experience was dreadful. And to be honest, the times I've been here, they haven't ever been too nice to me. After the order was finally ready, the lady working by the grill stuffed in at least 10 plastic containers of hot sauce into my bag. When we got home, most of them opened up and it left the biggest mess in the bag! Come on guys. This was just bad. Plus, my burritos were greasy anyways and tasted off. (See picture of the mess). I won't lie, there's plenty of other Mexican restaurants and establishments I can go to other than Papi Chulo's. Pretty disappointing experience overall and I can guarantee you I won't be going back anytime soon. I'd give the experience a 1/10 and the food a 2/10.
