I have to share just how special our takeout experience from Papi Chulo's was! We decided to grab…read moresome 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.

I ordered a burrito plate with rice and beans, and it was easily enough for two meals. The meat was well-seasoned and tender, the rice had good flavor (not bland like a lot of places), and the beans tasted homemade. The chips and salsa were solid, and the salsa had a nice kick without being overpowering. Service was friendly and quick, and the staff made sure everything came out right. The place itself is casual and clean, nothing fancy but comfortable. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the wait was a little longer than expected during a busy time, but the food made up for it. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

We were genuinely talking about the corn tortillas for hours after -- they were that good. There was something for everyone, which made hosting so easy especially considering we had two vegetarians and someone who is gluten and dairy free. Everything reheated perfectly the next day, and we had plenty of delicious leftovers. Highly recommend for holidays or any event, we will definitely be ordering again!

Queso fundido is piping hot and a good app to split amongst 4 people. I love how crispy the cheese got on the bottom of that hot platter. The posole was fine. I wish it had more chile flavor, but once I added the salsa habanero served with my man's steak tacos and some lime...yum yum! The pork and hominy were really tender in it too. The steak tacos were pretty good, but that could have been more tender and seasoned. I really liked the vibe and am looking forward to trying it out again.

The waitress was sweet but the greeter was rude, the bus boy was rude and slammed chips and salsa on table, rest of staff acted like we came after closing, couldn't believe the way we were treated AND we were out of restaurant 15 minutes BEFORE closing.

It is nice that they offer not only endless ice cream options but also a wide variety of foods.
