“ I went to a party which someone brought chicken from this place and it was delicious. When I was in the area, I knew I had to come back. The restaurant is casual with enclosed outdoor seating. Parking is limited but we didn't have a hard time finding a spot. Chicken is perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful, the half chicken is 4 pieces and can feed 2 people. I had the combo plate with rice and beans and they were delicious. You order at the window and they bring your food to one of the picnic tables you're seated at. Excellent service! ”
“ Ay Papa Que Rico!! Delicious chicken, ribs, yuca fries, tostones and my favorite drink, passion fruit flavor! ”
“ Pupusas and Tamal de elote were Fire!! The older gentleman was such a sweetheart. He brought us veggies and fruit on the house! I would definitely recommend!! ”
“ They're super nice and the food is SO delicious always. I force my bf to get this for me every now and then as I crave it and their salsa verde specifically, yellow rice so good. Beans are also really good but I don't prefer beans so we get extra rice. I love this place. ”
“ Called in and placed an order for pick up with Alex. He was very helpful with my order and answered all my questions. The chicken was delicious ”
“ So good! Great experience, great atmosphere, and amazing food! Decent prices in a sea of restaurants and businesses that try to take, take, take advantage. This restaurant is a breath of fresh air! Love it! Will definitely be back! Highly recommended! ”
“ This restaurant must've changed hands a few times over the years, I am glad Ay Papa Que Rico took over and have been here a cool min. Decided to visit a couple weeks ago and they did not disappoint... ordered the half chicken combo which came with a choice of black or pinto beans, tortillas, rice, salsa, grilled jalapenos, radish, lemon and an avocado! We also got 2 empanadas, beef and chicken. Both was enough for 2 (women) hungry patrons. They actually offer table service which I was surprised, I really thought it was seat yourself but a nice older gentleman brought water, napkins and the food to our table. If you are in the valley, they do have 6 locations give them a try, support small business! ”
“ I can't stop thinking about their asada sandwich. Been to this location several times and I can't seem to order anything else. At some point in time I would love to try more items on the menu but until the sandwich gets old, I will continue to get the sandwich. I did cheat a bit and asked a friend to get the cuban sandwich and we split our halves. But that so far has been the extent of my menu exploration here at Ay Papa Que Rico. (I lied, I've tried an empanada also, it was ok) Parking: very small private lot, street parking in the residential in rear VERDICT: Rinse and repeat ”
