Amazing! The chicken was top notch, the yellow rice and the beans fantastic! What really stood out was the customer service. Joe the owner came out and greeted the customers. You don’t find that kinda service anymore. 10/10 would recommend it! Will be going back again and again!

Ay Papa Que Rico in Bakersfield is the real deal. The chicken is nice and juicy, moist, and flavorful all the way to the bone. Everything is cooked in beef tallow—no seed oils at all. The grilled chicken, thin cut short ribs, fried yuca, plantains, rice, beans, empanadas, homemade meat-filled potato balls, and ropa vieja are all absolutely delicious. The plantains are glorious and caramelized. The portions are super abundant—everyone eats well and has plenty to take home. The presentation is beautiful. This food takes people back to their youth with authentic ethnic food. It is a bit expensive, but so worth it. This spot is highly recommended for all catering needs. If you want real Cuban flavor cooked the right way, this is the spot. People will be coming back again when in Bakersfield and will be requesting this wonderful food for future parties.
