After knocking out The Crazy Chicken and many others with robust flavors that our customers all love, Ay Papa has taken center stage and works as a vessel for all things delicious: chicken, ribs, rice and beans, and sandwiches. We source our poultry, pork and beef from producers who raise their animals humanely with no growth hormones or antibiotics. Our commitment is to bring you the best-quality ingredients and make them as tasty as possible. Located in Van Nuys, CA, Ay Papa Que Rico is a neighborhood restaurant that also offers fresh pastries and natural juices. Catering
