"This Pearl District restaurant serves a wide variety of regional Mexican food, including Baja fish tacos and Yucatecan cochinita pibl, while also tapping into the birria trend. The taqueria uses locally nixtamalized Three Sisters tortillas filled with slow-cooked beef, sprinkled with queso fresco and served with consomé on the side. Papi Chulo’s is open for takeout and delivery."

"I read that taqueria Papi Chulo's in the Pearl District was burglarized late last week: Fox 12 reported police were called to the scene at 9 a.m. on Thursday, October 22 after a burglar reportedly broke into the building and stole the restaurant’s safe using a hand truck. It has not been reported how much money was lost, and owner Ramzy Hattar shared his frustrations over the break-in and other crime in the neighborhood with Fox 12." - Alex Frane
