New Mexican Street Dog Hot Spot Comes to Downtown Covington

Papi Jocho’sPapi Jocho’s Street Dogs and Cantina will launch its first restaurant location on May 5th, 2020. The concept will focus on Mexican-inspired street dogs and is designed to be a Fast Casual Restaurant with endless energy and an edgy personality.

Papi Jocho’s, conceptualized by the owners of the popular Agave & Rye Tequila and Bourbon Hall, launches at a time many restaurants are learning how to adapt to the current pandemic. Instead, the new restaurant will cater to the unique experience many Americans are facing today – and beyond.

Papi Jocho’s downtown Covington restaurant lends itself to guests who prefer to order delivery or carryout and will feature a menu of traditional and non-traditional Mexican street food. Inspired by the on-the-go dishes found on the streets of Mexico, the menu features street dogs topped with fresh, house-prepared ingredients such as grilled shrimp, onions, cilantro, Chili de Arbol salsa and queso Oaxaca – as found on the Camrones Gubanador Papi Jochos. Diners can also experience Papi’s all-beef hot dog topped with grilled pork, onions, cilantro and pineapple salsa – as found on the Al Pastor Papi Jochos. Among its robust food offerings, guests will also be able to enjoy a full range of house-made sangrias and margaritas.

“It’s been a thrill to bring the concept for Papi Jocho’s to life. Now, more than ever, we know it can bring a little levity to the Covington community,” shares Yavonne Sarber, Founder of Papi Jocho’s and Agave & Rye. “We want to provide a dining experience unlike any other – whether guests are ordering delivery, carryout or dining in, once that’s an option. We know Papi Jocho’s will be a much-needed piece of excitement amidst the current pandemic.”

Papi Jocho’s will sit at 633 Madison Avenue in Covington, KY and will be open to the public beginning the first week of May.
