Stopped here for a quick bite. There was a line but it moves pretty fast. The guy behind the register was suuuper nice and patient as it was our first time here so we had a few questions. With outdoor and inside seating-the vibe is upbeat and oh so colorful! The day we came - they were playing FIFA on a huuuge outdoor t.v. That added to the fun vibe. The guacamole was good. Not the best I've had..but it's a rare day I pass up a guacamole. I got the papi burrito and added chicken. I love that they grilled outside of the tortilla. The whole beans were delicious and seemed like they were made fresh. read more

On a recent visit to Bend brewery hopping, we got hungry and decided to venture elsewhere for food. We chose Papi Chulo's and ended up having one of the best meals of the trip! This is a large Mexican restaurant right outside of downtown Bend, in the same building as Upp Liquids and other shops and restaurants. We came in the evening and there was a decent line that went fast. They have seating outside, plus some tables inside, and a nice sized loft of smaller tables above the kitchen. They have a great varied menu, all made fresh to order, with reasonable prices for the quality. Beer and sodas are also available. This is a great option for a fun meal! read more

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. read more

Food: 5 Stars for the veggie tacos. Very flavorful. 2 Stars for the veggie nachos because it was too basic and need more beans in them as meat substitute. Drinks: All beers are either in can or bottle. The cashier said, the only thing on "tap" was the margaritas. Service: The cashier was also the server and she was super friendly. Ambiance: The decor looked fun and colorful. Outdoor Seating: Available with a few umbrellas available.

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! read more

Good food, cheap beer, nice patio, great churros! I've been twice this week and will definitely keep coming back.

Hands down best tacos I've had in Bend! So delicious and lots of options. So much flavor and salsa was slightly hot. I also enjoyed a churro was heavenly. Very cute ambiance that feels like you are in Mexico, or San Diego. Very colorful with plenty of seating both inside and outside on the patio. I will absolutely be back! read more

Excellent breakfast burrito! This coming from someone who orders many. They grill the tortilla and brush it with the juices of something, probably the birriera. Speaking of which, the Birriera Quesadilla is a must order! No health or cost of living fee and they bring your order to you: this sure ain't Portland. Great spot for outside dining. A very long wait though. The female cashier and server was friendly. read more

Brought my mom here for her 89th birthday dinner and it was superb! Lovely ambience, fast and friendly service. Margaritas were tasty, steak quesadilla was delicious and flavorful with green chiles in it. The steak burrito was amazing as well. Talking to folks at the next table, apparently the Birria Burrito is phenomenal as well. Will have to come back to try that. read more

If you're craving authentic Mexican food in Bend, this taqueria is a must. The flavors are rich, fresh, and truly remind me of what you'd find in Mexico--no shortcuts here. From the perfectly seasoned tacos to the delicious meats and great salsas, every bite was so flavored. What made the experience even better was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows both in the food and the atmosphere. Don't miss out on this GREAT place. It's hands-down one of the best spots in town for real-deal Mexican food. read more

I remarked recently that not long ago, I had never heard of birria. Now it's everywhere. Apparently it's not a nationwide phenomenon, more a local one. I don't know. Anyway, here we have another new taco shop in town, this one also offering, among more standards items, birria tacos, burrito and a quesadilla, which I opted for. - QuesaBirria: a fairly large quesadilla cut into quarters and served with the usual tub of dipping sauce (au jus). Pretty tasty. - Side of pinto beans: I like beans with my Mexican food and Papi Chulo's are solid although maybe not the tastiest in town. Prices are reasonable, service is quick. I don't know it for a fact but I believe Papi Chulo's is affiliated with River Pig Saloon, which is next door at the Box Factory. Same owner and kitchen talent anyway. As with the other establishments in this row of the Box Factory, along with some inside seating, there's a nice patio area. Liquor license pending (so maybe the River Pig affiliation is the way to go there). read more

I've been excited to try this place since they announced they were opening a location in Bend. I'd like to give it a 3.5, but considering they've been open only 1 week, I'll give then the benefit of the doubt that they will continue to improve on what was already a pretty good experience. The space has a great vibe, laid-back and airy. The staff was great and the food came out quickly. Impressive considering how busy they were. I ordered the Birria burrito. The burrito was loaded with meat and cheese with a nice amount of onions and cilantro. The broth was pretty good, although I could have used a little more intensity or depth of flavor. Overall, the burrito dipped in the broth made for a great bite. Other than the broth, my only complaint is that the burrito could have benefited from a little more time on the griddle to crisp it up and maybe give it a little color. By the end of each half, the bottom just kind of fell apart. It's bound to happen with all that juicy beef and the broth I guess. My friends ordered some tacos and were split on their reviews, but iverall fairly positive. They appeared to be typical street taco size, so I imagine it would take 3-4 to be a full meal. Again, for being open only a week, there were a lot of positives and I look forward to going again and trying some of the other items on the menu, although it's going to be hard not to order the Birria burrito or tacos! read more

We weren't even looking for tacos- but saw this place and decided to try it out. Their tacos a full of flavor- we were surprised they rated a 4 only. We had the fish, shrimp, and barbacoa tacos- you can also ask for their spicier salsa. We did take them to go!!!! read more

Nice staff and I Enjoyed the Breakfast burrito with chorizo and outdoor patio seating

Had the breakfast burrito ordered from the River Pig side. Absolutely nasty. The size, the toasting on the tortilla and salsas were good but the inside was filled with a goopy spicy cream cheese(?) with peppers and onions, cheese sauce with maybe 1 egg chopped into it. And that was it. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. That was bad bad bad. read more

It's in a great location and a cute place. However, the food underwhelming. We tried 4 different tacos: Barbacoa, Baja fish taco, cochinita, and the poc chuc. The most flavorful one was the poc chuc. The others were lacking. Also, we didn't like they used only one tortilla which traditionally it's two. It made the taco super soggy and it made it fall apart as soon as you picked it up. read more

Experience was awful, the lady at the front was rude. Didn't say a thing and rolled her eyes. I got the nachos. The chips were stale. You can definitely tell they put chips and cheese in the microwave. Had high hopes. I guess things happen... read more

I was excited to try some " authentic" Mexican food, so I picked Papi Chulo's for the group. We all placed our order and the girl working the register who's name I think was Emila or something similar read back our order with everything correct. I ordered chips and salsa & burrito bowl, the salsa was so thick almost to the point like tomato paste, i had to ask for salt and pepper because it had no salt. Almost 35 min went by before anyone received their food we even had time to walk across the street and order oyster shots and bring them back and sit down and eat them prior to getting their food. so I ordered a burrito bowl and I waited patiently for it, while everyone else was eating. I thought possibly it was going to take longer cause everyone else got tacos and I got something different. 15 minutes go by and everyone is basically done with their food. I have still yet to get mine. Mind you she read the order back and everyone's food was on the order including mine. As she's helped multiple people between bringing our party's food out and other peoples, I asked kindly why my food was not out yet. She looked at me with an annoyed expression and stated that she already gave me my food. And I told her no I have not received mine but everyone else did. She then asked what did I order and went to the kitchen and asked. She turned around and stated they did not prepare my food and forgot about it, that it was now going to be prepared and simply stated no I would just like a refund as by now everyone in my party is done eating. And was rude and questioned if we were going to leave already then with an extremely bad attitude. I expressed to her no as my husband still had his drink to finish. As she's continued looking for my order and cost of it she rolled her eyes, and began to use a sarcastic tone asked whose card did we even use. I expressed it was my husband's card and that she did not need to be rude as I was being polite. She then stated she could only take my name and number down. I asked to SPEAK to the manager and she called and wouldn't let me talk to the manager or supervisor. I felt like the owner or manager should know how their employees are acting or treating customers when an error is made, it was her responsibility to make sure all the order was made and the proper way to handle the situation. I hope this does not happen to anyone else. read more

Not a big fan. I ordered nachos and a birria quesadilla. The chips are thinner than taqueria type chips which is fine but the cheese was bit too hard as if its left on the broiler too long. To make matters worse, the pico de gallo was extra soft and warm, under other toppings. Also, it came with whole beans. The poc chuc meat was ok- not particularly flavorful and drier.. 1.5/5* Birria quesadilla: better than the nachos. Its like moist shredded beef, not goat. It was loaded and filling. Overall, i wasnt a huge fan. The menu isnt very large and lacks typical taqueria meats but has things like cochinita read more

Hi I'm Anne and I'm a taco addict. This place is my new favorite. I've only been here once but I'll be back. The meats were juicy like they should be and the tortillas were fresh. The flavors were amazing. The margarita I had was stupendous too but I'm basing my adoration for this place fully on the tacos. read more

Our Uber driver recommended Papi Chulo's for tacos and we're so glad we listened! We had vegetarians and GF eaters in our group and they were super accommodating. My friend got the horchata which was SUPER tasty and came with a cookie rim. The tacos ranged from about $3.75 to $5 each and were a decent size. I'm not veggie but I absolutely loved their verduras taco, with poblanos and mushrooms and a very generous helping of cheese and salsa. The Baja fish taco was a miss for me, though I compare everything to Oscars in SD. This is a brand new business and they don't have their liquor license yet. Luckily there are a ton of breweries and wineries within a five minute walk - we opted to get our food to go and headed for delicious draft ciders from Podski across the street read more
