Papi Chulo

Welcome to Papi Chulo, a bold new dining experience that brings together the fire of Mexico and the soul of Jamaica, all under one roof in the heart of Drax Hall, Ocho Rios. This is not your average fusion spot. This is Ja-Mexican cuisine, festive, flavorful, and fearlessly creative.

Papi Chulo

At Papi Chulo, every dish tells a story of cultural mashups and culinary adventure. The warmth of Mexican spices meets the bold, vibrant flavors of Jamaican cooking, creating a menu that’s as colorful and lively as the islands themselves. From jerk tacos and escovitch tostadas to plantain quesadillas and callaloo-stuffed enchiladas, each plate is a celebration, freshly prepared, deeply seasoned, and designed to make your tastebuds dance.

Ja-Mexican Fusion

The kitchen is a playground of passion, where traditional Mexican techniques meet local Jamaican ingredients, Scotch bonnet, pimento, ackee, sorrel, bammy, and more, reinvented in ways that honor both heritages without compromising authenticity. Expect the unexpected: crispy jerk chicken chimichangas, ital mole bowls, and sweet plantain churros dusted in coconut sugar.

But Papi Chulo isn’t just about food, it’s a full-on vibe. The atmosphere is electric, casual yet chic, with music, color, and culture infused into every corner. Here, dining is an experience, a place where families gather, friends celebrate, and food is always the center of the story.

Sip on handcrafted cocktails featuring fresh tropical fruits, mezcal, and local rum, or cool down with a signature hibiscus-lime agua fresca. There’s always something happening at Papi Chulo, themed nights, pop-up tastings, and live entertainment to keep the energy flowing.

From tacos to tamales, from jerk to jalapeños, Papi Chulo is where fire meets flavor, and Mexico meets Jamaica. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s packed with personality. Come hungry, leave happy, and always come back for more.
