Ay Papa Que Rico

Ay Papa Que Rico is a Latin American restaurant on Canoga Ave in Los Angeles, rooted in a story that began in 1966 when founder Chris "Toby" Rodriguez and his family fled Cuba and built a new life in America. Toby's passion for authentic Latin flavors grew into a multi-location brand, backed by his signature guarantee: if you don't like the food, it's free. The menu features crowd favorites like smoked and grilled chicken, ropa vieja, lomo saltado, fried empanadas, yuca frita, and tostones. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the restaurant is a great fit for family meals or a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner. Catering is available for private parties, birthdays, corporate functions, and weddings.
