The place is not intimidating that you want to make it a “tambayan” with your barkada. Decorated with sombreros (which you can borrow for your selfie) and  colorful bandanas. The wall is painted with Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) mural  for that Mexican ambiance. ...Read full post on joyrneytolife.com

Mi amigos y mi amigas! Papi Chulo's is a fairly new hang-out spot and watering hole in BF Homes along Aguirre but it somehow manages to compete with the bigger and known spots in the village. With its laidback feel and the distinctive music, you won't be able to resist the call to try and "tambay" at this bar under the trees. We were there a wee bit earlier than their usual drinking crowd but the music was welcoming. It feels like a bar right out of the Fast and the Furious movies! I was already imagining Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez roar in with an Impala! I like the Mariachi hats decorating the tree trunk in the middle as well as the colorful bandanas in the ceiling that lent a more festive vibe to the place. The haunting but lovely image of La Muerte graces the only wall as a mural, and provides a unique focal point and conversation starter for the patrons. This is definitely one of the most Instagrammed parts of the bar. Food was mostly TexMex. We get to try their soft-shell tacos 4 ways! There's Brisket Tacos (P130), Chicken Ass Tacos (P120), Chicharon Bulaklak Tacos (P125) and Al Pastor Tacos (P120). Although there was a great selection of different taco fillings, I think my mouth got a bit confused with the flavors of each taco. The most seasoned one for me was the Al Pastor Tacos. Their version of Nachos (P245) were a bit different too. This was the first time I tried nachos with everything in it, plus a soft boiled egg! A tray of Shredded Pork Quesadillas (P160) go well with their Lychee and Cucumber coolers as well. The Tuna Agua Chile (P210) needs a bit more TLC. It tasted a bit tough for ceviche and could have been more tastier. Most of their dishes are perfect as beermates but they also have rice dishes like the Chipotle Pork Belly (P245) served with dirty rice and a helping of crispy onion skins. This bowl was good for sharing! I love corn and their Elotes got me excited! For P180, you get 3 pieces of corn skewered on sticks, topped with a cheese sauce and even more parmesan cheese. You also have the choice to have the kernels sliced off the cob. Really appetizing! The owner was gracious enough to provide Cuervo shots for the group. I had to decline as it was still early in the day. BF and South milennials should look out for this place and try it, for the sake of chilling with their friends. The al-fresco set up encourages a relaxed chill vibe to it, perfect for when getting a beer on your own or when hanging out with your posse.
