Outdoor dining area during the COVID-19 pandemicР”Вuring the COVID-19 pandemic, Papi Chulo's, River Pig, and Two Wrongs served customers in decorated and heated covered tents. Food from Papi Chulo's was being served at Two Wrongs by February 2020. Hattar opened the restaurant with Antonio Javier Palma Caceres, who was raised in YucatР“РЋn and had served as River Pig's chef, as well as Davide Bricca, who oversaw cocktails for both River Pig and Two Wrongs. The restaurant's opening was slightly delayed in his September 2019 list of the city's most anticipated restaurant openings for the fall season, Eater Portland 's Alex Frane said the taqueria was slated to open on October 23. He had started developing a business plan for a taco restaurant after the chain Pink Taco reversed plans to open in Portland, and he confirmed the launch of Papi Chulo's in July 2019. Restaurateur Ramzy Hattar owns the taqueria, along with neighboring establishments River Pig Saloon and Two Wrongs. The restaurant opened on December 7, 2019, in the space formerly occupied by PBJ's Grilled. The restaurant's interior has strung lights and a mounted marlin Palomas are also featured on the drink menu.

The micheladas and Bloody Mary come with TajР“Вn seasoning on the rim. The 'Princesa' margarita contains strawberry syrup and lime juice. The pepper margarita has a syrup made on-site and uses habaneros, poblanos, and three other types of peppers. Various ingredients include chile de Р“РЋrbol, cochinita pibil, consommР“В©, queso blanco, salsa with guajillo chili, and 'locally nixtamalized' tortillas made from Three Sisters masa. Serving a variety of regional Mexican cuisine, the restaurant's menu has tacos (including Baja fish such as cod and Yucatecan cochinita pibil), burritos, nachos, birria with beef, lengua with habanero, margaritas on tap, and micheladas.

In 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Willamette Week 's Nick Zukin described the taqueria as 'a popular late-night destination for hungry club and bar patrons'. The interior has an 'open-format' kitchen with multiple paintings, including one of the restaurant's name on the kitchen's hood and another of a bottle of Corona with a lime, as well as a mounted marlin above the ordering counter. Eater Portland 's Brooke Jackson-Glidden describes the original taqueria as 'a colorful counter-service spot' with 'design elements reminiscent' of similar establishments in California and Mexico. Papi Chulo's is located along 13th Avenue in northwest Portland's Pearl District. The business continued to operate delivery and takeout services during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in November 2020 confirmed plans to open a second restaurant in northeast Portland. Papi Chulo's serves Mexican cuisine, such as tacos, burritos, nachos, birria, margaritas, and micheladas.

The trio had previously worked together at River Pig Saloon and Two Wrongs, two neighboring establishments also owned by Hattar. The taqueria was opened by restaurateur Ramzy Hattar in December 2019, with Antonio Javier Palma Caceres as the chef and Davide Bricca overseeing cocktails. Papi Chulo's is a restaurant in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
