Papi Chulo's

Beautiful Christmas decoration and vibe! The food was good too but not good enough for 5 stars. The tacos were quite small. I got the fish and steak one. The steak was a bit chewy too. The burger, however, was so good!! I also tried the seasonal peppermint cocktail and wasn’t a fan! It taste like medicine to me. It was really cute though!

Sooooo fun!! One of my favourite Christmas pop up bars. It's super festive, the cocktails are great. It does get really busy during the holiday season due to the trendy hype so I would recommend going during the week or early on the weekends (before 4pm).

Great atmosphere! Decorated to the max, the chips and guacamole are amazing, best I had in town! Had the chicken wings ( crispy ), margaritas on point! Highly recommend, it does get packed and there is a line later in the eve, so dress warm. The music is loud too, so it can be hard to hear each other.

One of the most disappointing service experiences I’ve ever had. The restaurant operates on a walk-in-only policy, so we waited an hour in freezing cold and snow. While waiting, we saw a group of five girls arrive after us and initially be told they’d have to wait like everyone else. However, after chatting with the staff, they were allowed to enter and take spots at the bar. At no point did the staff check with our group—or others ahead in line—if we’d like to take the bar spot first, despite us having waited 30 minutes by then. When we finally reached the front of the line, we had to wait another 30 minutes for a spot. When it was finally offered, it turned out to be at the bar with no seats—something the staff failed to communicate beforehand. We came here to enjoy food and drinks in comfort, but instead, we were left holding our bags and wearing our jackets while standing at the bar. Even more frustrating, there were open tables the entire time we were inside, but the staff refused to seat us there or rearrange them to accommodate our group of five. Despite politely asking, they were unaccommodating and dismissive. While the food and atmosphere were decent, the service was rude, inconsiderate, and unprofessional. Our group had high hopes for this visit, but the experience was deeply disappointing due to the lack of fairness and basic courtesy. TL;DR: We waited an hour in the cold, only to watch others who arrived after us be seated sooner. When our turn came, we were given a spot without seats for a party of five and received poor, unwelcoming service throughout.

Good for photos. Drink was okay. Food average. Bartender is helpful. But one of the servers was rude. The waiting system is very disorganized. Basically, no wait list system, if you are lucky you got a spot. Even they keep your name on the list, it means nothing. You would be advised to come back after 1 hr and till that point it’s still based on your luck. if there is empty you got a spot. If not then you are just wasting time. 10/10 for the over the top Christmas decorations. We took some great photos. Drinks look cute but taste cheap. If you are aiming for social media photos, go for it. If you are aiming for a nice dinner and drink, not recommend. I won’t go back.

I recently visited and absolutely loved the Christmas-themed decorations! The whole atmosphere really got me into the holiday spirit—it's the perfect spot for festive vibes. The drinks were fantastic, and I really enjoyed my time there. The food was decent. However, with such great drinks and the amazing ambiance, it was totally worth it. Definitely a great place to check out for the season!

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this cozy spot! The Christmas decorations were beautifully done, creating the perfect festive atmosphere. The cocktails were fantastic, especially the holiday-themed ones – the flavors were spot-on, and each drink was crafted with such care. Our waitress,Yirley, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. She added a personal touch to the evening, ensuring we felt welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind with great drinks and holiday cheer!

Absolutely amazing experience! We put our name down for a table of four, and although it took about 20-30 minutes to be seated, it was well worth the wait. Once inside, we placed our orders, and the food and drinks arrived almost immediately. The servers were attentive and kind, making the experience even better. The only downside is that the place is small and very packed, with tables placed quite close to each other. However, the incredible food more than made up for it. We ordered the birria tacos, al pastor tacos, and nachos, and everything tasted so authentic and fresh. The festive drinks menu was also a highlight—I tried the Grinch drink and absolutely loved it! The decor and atmosphere are super cute, making it a perfect spot for a Christmas-themed outing. If you’re looking for a festive bar with great food and drinks, I 100% recommend this place. I will definitely be back, especially for the food!
