I am so glad a Mexican pastry shop opened up a few blocks from me. Welcome to the neighborhood!
First off, let me say that some of these reviews show that people aren't educated about Mexican pastry tradition. These pastries are made with lard and are, indeed, made to be dry. You are supposed to eat them with coffee or milk. If you want a moister pastry, ask the people working which are their pastries with a higher moisture content. Hopefully that helps you have a better experience. However, in general, yes, these pastries are drier (and it's not a mistake).
Customer service here is great. I know a lot of the Mexican pastries but they were really helpful and told me about all of them. They are more than willing to help guide you. Service is great!
I ordered a strawberry empanada, which was delicious! I also ordered the breakfast burrito because it was 1:30 and I hadn't eaten yet. It was spendy (I don't think anymore expensive than everything else is right now) but it was worth it! Burrito was made fresh to order. Walked it home and it was still piping hot! Came with a salsa on the side. It is also a generous size, it's not a small burrito.
Highly recommend visiting Papa Chuy's. I'll definitely be going back to try out more of the pastries and find my favorite!
