" I've been several times, and it seems the quality is hit or miss. Sometimes the chicken is amazing; other times, it’s average. The atmosphere is always appealing. Friendly staff, but sometimes slow service. I think they need consistency in their food preparation. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a nice dining experience! The menu has good variety, and the food was tasty. Service was friendly but it took a while to get our food. The ambiance is pleasant—a great place for family gatherings. Will surely come back to explore more options from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent place overall, but I walked away feeling slightly disappointed. The chicken was good but not the best. Also, I expected more authenticity from the Cuban sandwich as it lacked traditional ingredients. Thankfully, I was satisfied with the overall ambiance and friendly staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed by my visit. I had high hopes for the Cuban sandwich but was surprised to find no pork in it—just ham, cheese, and some sad toppings for $15! For this price, I expected a more authentic version. The atmosphere was nice and the staff friendly, but the food didn’t satisfy my cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from dinner here. The food was good but did not live up to my expectations based on the hype. The chicken was tasty but nothing extraordinary. Service was friendly but too slow for a dinner rush. Value for money is decent though and the atmosphere felt authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant visit at Ay Papa Que Rico. The half chicken deal is perfect for sharing and comes with a good amount of rice and beans. However, I felt the rice was a bit bland compared to the rest of the dish. The service was attentive, and the decoration made it feel comfortable. I’d give it another try for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the area! The chicken is always prepared to perfection, and the sides are equally satisfying. There’s a homely feel to this restaurant that makes you want to return. Staff are helpful, and they seem genuine in their service. Keep it up! " (*Curated Review*)
