Papi Chulo's Street Tacos - Mexican Restaurants in St John, Indiana, USA

SO SO SOOOO GOOD!!! I ordered the steak street taco dinner, elote, kids beef taco dinner and a steak burrito. Everything was so fresh and authentic! I was fortunate to meet the owner, and he begins to talk about featuring birria and my eyes lit up! I was able to sample it, and you NEED to run!! It was the freshest, tastiest, authentic birria I have ever tasted! It had the perfect spice, and I will be so excited to order this in the future!! Do yourself a favor and stop in!! The horchata is also to die for!!! So happy to have such great authentic food in the area!!

Service was great. The staff was very helpful. The chicken burrito was very large. The chicken in it was delicious. You get a filling mean for about $13 a person. For the tacos, we ate a carne asada, pastor, and chicken. The chicken was the favorite, then the carne asada, then the pastor. We will definitely eat here again if we're in the area.

The steak tacos and chicken tacos were the bomb! The steak fries were very good as well! Homemade Horchata! The staff and owner are very friendly. We'll be back for sure!

We were recommended to come here by a few friends so we decided to take the leap and drive down the street to try it out and we were not disappointed at all. The staff was very welcoming and helpful with menu suggestions. They let us try some of the watermelon strawberry drink as well as their horchata that they had available and they were delicious. I ended up getting the birria tacos and they were awesome and super hot and fresh. The cilantro and lime tasted great with the tacos. My wife got the steak quesadilla which was even better in my opinion and I'll definitely have to try that in the future.

Ok, I want to say I've been giving reviews for a while now and I want to let everyone know this place won my heart (stomach, wallet)! We decided to swing in and try Papi Chulo's at lunch on a Sunday. Always driving by to get to the gym. We had been wanting to stop and finally did. Thank goodness! We were impressed by their simplistic menu with enough choices to make for multiple people to have different options. The cooking line is wide open so you can see all the ingredients and the process of your food being cooked right there. The gentleman at the register was clean and friendly. Very polite and didn't rush us at all. The "cook", who turned out to be none other than Papi himself, was very friendly and communicated with us as well! We were delivered out order and were immediately surprised with the SIZE of everything and pleased with the price/size comparison!!! ( Come hungry!!). The food had a very pleasant look and smell!! So excited to bite into this authentic yet appealing looking dish at this point!! Then we did..... OMG! Flavor EXPLOSION in our mouths!! We like food and we were both pleasantly surprised and excited in the flavors quickly sharing bites back and forth! It was NOT really spicy even for someone who didn't like heat, her not me lol... I added some of their HOME MADE sauces to a few bites. The avocado salsa was great, the red HOT was spicy but full of great flavors. They had 2 others I didn't try! I got wrapped up in the awesome flavors and ate my whole meal and didn't get to them.... Oh darn!! Will have to come back!!! Woohoo!!! While eating, we were checked on a few times and asked if everything was good and if we needed anything!!! We finished our meals, leftovers for her and a greasy stain on my shirt! Lol. The owner made sure to thank us and I felt obliged to walk over and tell him how impressed we were with this establishment. The food, price, and service were all great. Papi, we WILL be back and we enjoyed our meal here!!! Sincerely, Joe

Not a small taco! As you can see, the portion sizes are fantastic, better than most sit down restaurants. The meat and seafood are seasoned and cooked to perfection and our order was done in mere minutes! Yes, there are a few other Mexican/Hispanic food places nearby, but they all have different menus and none of them have this level of quality with the speed of preparation similar to that of a fast food place. And being a spicy food lover, I always appreciate a hot salsa to compliment my food Yum! I didn't even realize this place existed, but I happened to be getting gas, and noticed the sign. Definitely, worth stopping in. We'll be back!

I’ve been to some spots in Chicago that would rival street tacos in Mexico so it’s very crazy for me to say this but after one quick visit to try this spot located next to a gas station blew my mind after one carry out order. That is because they provided hands down THE BEST pastor tacos I have ever tried in my life!!! Lord almighty they were so juicy and succulent. I cannot wait to go back and try some other things on their menu.

I got one pastor taco and a steak torta ! So good and the three sauces they gave you are also good especially the red one spicy but just right , fast and friendly service as well will definitely be back soon!
