Some people ask us about the BBQ barrels outside and if we actually use them… Yep, we sure do! 🔥🍗

That’s why you can smell our famous chicken from down the street! The mesquite flame and citrus-marinated chicken make an aroma that’s hard to miss. 😋

Follow the smell… it’ll lead you right to Ay Papa Que Rico!

Ay Papa Que Rico | Restaurant is the new spot !!! Incredible food, great value, sweet staff, what more can a gal ask for? I had the opportunity to try a good chunk of their menu and I’ve never had so many heavy hitters! Chicken was outstanding, I loved the ribs and the pupusa, the passionfruit agua fresca tasted like I was back in Hawaii, cubano, sausage, all of it !!! And I can’t say how long this deal will last but they have a $20 chicken combo that is out of this world rn so get it while it’s hot!

And just know I did not finish everything in one sitting obv but it lasted exactly 3 days in my fridge, not a speck is left😂 Flavor remained and somehow developed even more over the few days. I am SO GLAD they’re here!!!

JSYK this meal was kindly hosted, but I reached out first because I was so desperate to try 😂 all opinions are my own!
