About the Business

Executive Chef Thierry Amezcua and his wife and co-owner Debby Amezcua had always dreamed of opening their restaurant together and Papatzul allowed that dream to become a reality. A native of México City, Thierry naturally decided to draw upon his cultural background and influence as a child growing up in Coyoacan a small town located in México City.

"Papatzul is about taking classic Mexican dishes and then doing your own thing on top of that", said Thierry Amezcua. "Having been away from México for the past 20 years, I really wanted our guests to be able to come to Papatzul so they could experience the beauty of Mexican culture through the warm ambiance, decadent foods, classic cocktails and the traditional musical sounds of my home country".

Established in 2006.
