Papi Chulo's Mexican Restaurant

I love the food and the staff there are super nice and always smiling.

Requested the grilled barbacoa and they brought back just a barbacoa taco

While the food itself had decent taste, and probably would’ve caused me to give a 3 or 4 star review, there was PLASTIC in my boyfriend’s breakfast taco. We went this morning at 6:10 AM, only 10 mins after they opened. We were probably the first customers of the day and the only ones at the restaurant when ordering. A few bites into his ham and egg taco, he spit it out and we saw about a 1/2 inch long piece of white plastic. Just glad he didn’t choke but someone else may have.

Lost my service today. Never had any problems before today. They served my daughter a rotted stuffed avocado and because she ate part of it they refused to take her meal off our bill. How my child ate any of it surprised me as well. It was black all the way through... mildewed.... When I asked for onions on my enchiladas, they took a hand full of onions, piled on piles. Ridiculous... Then looked at us like we were the problem. When asked if she'd eat the food .. she wouldn't answer because she knew she wouldn't either.

Excellent food and affordable!

I've been going through the drive through there and they are quick. Beef fajita quesadilla was delicious!

Food is nasty the customer service sucks they don’t ever get your order right just a waste of space

Great chips, good margaritas, and delicious enchiladas.

It's such a great neighborhood restaurant. Always has the best food and fast service. Family owned and operated, let's keep supporting small businesses with amazing products.

I didn't eat my plate. The salsa was good. Not a fan of flour tortillas for the salsa, she never checked back so we didn't get to enjoy that. The enchilada just had no flavor. Unlike that taco and chalup shells that were fried in nasty oil, that's all you could taste. $25 later and we stopped somewhere else to eat because we were both hungry because our food wasn't edible.

Went there for the 1st time ever & will NEVER go back. Went for puffy taco's that looked good in the pictures. They where the most digusting, greasy, horrible tasting tacos we ever had in our lives.
I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone ever.

Great Mexican restaurant. Food was excellent and service was fantastic.
A small little restaurant that serves authentic homemade Mexican food.

What a nice piece of heaven on earth! The food was amazingly good! Wait staff was very friendly but need more employees for the work load. And I love the prices! Can't beat that!
Only bad thing, no tripitas or langua.
The menu had a slight lime or lemon taste to it. I'm still looking for great menu here in Corpus.

Edit: Have to take back my good rating since they've decided to now dump hot spicy black pepper in the enchilada sauce. If a customer wants spice it can be added if someone else doesn't it can't be taken back out... The cheese was different this time & the bottom of the enchiladas were left dry with no sauce. It's so disappointing when these restaurants let a new cook come in & change everything. Tried their pan de polvo cookies they were awful.

Good satisfying meal the enchilada sauce is flavorful without being hot & spicy. Friendly family owned place they're so nice everytime we've gone. Good ratings from the health dept. After at least 5 years coming here they've gotten an order wrong maybe 2 or 3 times that's way better than most places around here lol.
