About Us
El Cuento de Papi - Papi’s Story
Hola my beautiful people… Let me introduce myself. My name is Adan but people worldwide know me as Papi. I love food, art, travel and culture. I have worked in the hospitality industry my whole life however I have also starred in the Restaurant Revolution television program. I enjoy sharing my culture and am a radio host of a multicultural radio station called 4EB (98.1 FM). I am passionate about giving my customers an unforgettable experience.
El Viaje de Papi – Papi’s Journey
I grew up in a little town in Mexico called Metepec. My hometown town has many wonderful cafes and restaurants and they are renowned for their delicious homemade cuisine. As a child I grew up making and selling fresh fruit juices, desserts and tacos in our neighbourhood market with my mother. I always loved the aromas and flavours of the food and the bustling atmosphere of the markets. Most of all, I loved to see our customers happy and satisfied. Eventually I began working with some of the world’s most reputable cruise line companies. It was while I was working on a cruise ship in Venice that I met my Australian wife, Kelly. Can you imagine a more romantic backdrop? The travel industry took me to many beautiful destinations. Along the way I made many life-long friends and had unforgettable experiences. Kelly and I married in Mexico but returned to Brisbane, Kelly’s hometown, to raise our two beautiful girls.
Here, I have been privileged to work in some of the best venues Brisbane City has to offer.
However, it has always been my dream to have a restaurant of my own where I can share a little bit of my Mexican culture and my passion for wonderful food and enjoyment of life.
El Destino - The destination
Finally, my dream come has come true! At Papi’s Mexican Kitchen I can share with you the authentic flavours of the Mexico of my childhood. My little Mexican kitchen offers traditional mouth-watering Mexican street-food.
And you don’t have to travel to Mexico for the experience!

Te veo pronto! See you soon!
