Reviews for Ay Papa Que Rico in Canoga Park, CA
The chicken is really good. But I also ordered a rib eye steak and ended up with a chewy medium T-bone steak.
The chicken is out of this world. Loren helped helped us out and even let us taste the chicken before we completed our order as... it was our first time! It was a really chill vibe with friendly faces and amazing food and snacks. Read more
The restaurant is new and ample room inside. There are booths and tables with straw umbrellas which was a nice touch. The menu... has a variety of Latin American cuisine like, Cuban, Mexican, Peruvian, and Salvadorean. What this place is known for is thecharbroiled chicken. It was so juicy and delicioso!! The marinade was so good and the chicken was lean and the skin crispy.There is even a bakery and coffee bar. Staff was friendly. I will return and try their white fish. Read more
This review is for takeout. I've ordered a couple times for takeout due to their early'ish closing times. My first initial order... was somewhat ok. I ordered tostones but disappointingly received the sweet plantains instead. The steak and/or chicken empanadaswere just ok. The arroz chaufa was tasteless and extremely disappointing. But the chicken...the CHICKEN!!! The juicy chicken wasoutstanding. Simply the best, without question. It was so good, in fact, that I placed another (larger) order the very next day.To my disbelief, if I thought it was delicious before, the chicken was unbelievably a notch better. Everything somehow was. Theregular rice was great. The beans were perfect. The chicken empanadas were so much better, as its reminiscent flavors of homewere soul touching to me. The tostones (they got it right this time) were fantastic. I hope for their consistency. And while Itruly hate the name of this restaurant, this latest indulgence had me saying Ay Papá, que rico.

Boy, I had been craving chicken like this for days but could not find it, until a friend posted about the grand opening for this... location. From the minute I walked in the friendliness from the staff was all over the place, we tried the famous grilledchicken, Asada bowl and papas. All the food was great, the chicken was juicy and perfectly grilled, the smokiness from themesquite charcoal elevated my palate to a new high. I will be back for more, oh also they have a full bakery as well. Read more
