Went here with a family member to get lunch. Family member had been 3 times before and highly recommended the place. We ordered 2 chicken specials (comes with tortillas, choice of type of rice and beans and 2 empanadas (beef and jalapeno). The star of the show is their chicken! So moist and flavorful! Place has booths so one may eat there or place order in advance for takeout. Pictures everywhere around the colorful booths. Obtaining our order was fast however the cashier scanned card which is NOT what family member wanted to do. In one order, I specifically stated Black beans which I did not receive. Parking is hard to get to location, try to street parking. Hopefully they will get better parking options in the future. Overall, the food is very good. read more

I tried them this past Friday via Grubhub delivery for the 1/2 chicken combo plate and it didn't disappoint at all. I must admit being a valley native, never have I ever tried them in the past and wow was I missing out. Combo comes with: four pieces of chicken with two sides, salsa, tortillas and a jalapeño. This is a very generous combo and the chicken was really good in flavor and retained its moisture as well. Definite give them a try when you are craving chicken you will not be disappointed. I must visit a location in person to check out their other plates. read more

Do not sleep on this place ! Go to Van Nuys and treat yourself to some very authentic food. I loved that this place is community based. The love is in the food . The chicken is seasoned to perfection and the people are super sweet. During lunch service is busy but beyond that you can get in and out within 15 minutes. Ambiance is pretty hole in the wall but what good food is not? It's clean and feels like you're in someone's Aunties kitchen. read more

Ay Papa Que Rico is a fantastic Cuban inspired charbroiled chicken restaurant. Had a craving for Cuban food after a recent rewatch of the movie, Chef. Stopped here for the first time and had to try the chicken based on the delicious smell as well as a Cubano. Both were mouthwatering. The chicken was perfect and the black beans and yellow rice I got with it were great. The Cubano was near perfection. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu read more

Parking is provided with indoor sitting at Thai fast casual with fresh food made to order. Staff is nice but with limited English skills. Pricing and portions are fair/as expected. Restaurant is clean. A large menu with a good variety of items and not just Latin cuisine. Be aware that the beans contain pork if you avoid pork. Food is solid. 3.5 star review that I will round up. read more

Clouds of tempting deliciousness from the grilling chicken wafte outside this place and immediately drawing you in. Admittedly I've only had the chicken combo from here but that is the main star, wonderfully seasoned chicken cooked on a grill served with beans(black are my preferre), rice, tortillas and salsa. If you're in Van Nuys you must come here and have the chicken no if ands or buts. The only point of possible improvement is sometimes I find it to be a bit dryer than how I prefer it but the flavor more than makes up for it. read more

The plate that I got was the baby back ribs and it was absolutely amazing!! They were very meaty, juicy and tasty!! I really enjoyed the rice and the beans. The rice seems to have a much better texture and flavor than the last time I went. I really enjoyed the food, but the reason why I didn't give more stars , which makes me sad. It is because when I was ordering, the people at the window tend to be rude. I talked to my daughter about that and she said the same thing happened to her and her husband as well as one of my other daughters when they went so, so please show a little more kindness. I know, sometimes we have bad days. I understand, but with 2 of my daughters and myself getting food and they were talking in a rude manner. That doesn't seem right. Keep making them juicy ribs!! I will be back for sure. This time, I won't be shy about telling them how I feel if they tend to be rude to me. That's after I get my food... read more

I've passed this place many times on the way to U-HAUL or Home Depot. Today I decided to try it and called in an order. When ordered I made sure to ask for a juicy chicken (jugoso in Spanish) the last thing you want is to get a dried up sit around chicken. Unfortunately that is exactly what I brought home ...the flavor was fine, it could of taken a little more spice..but the worst you could tell it was old, not fresh at all. This was 1pm when I got it, it should of been right out of the carbon..sad..I will never return. Nice lady at the counter.. read more

There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.

These are all the items we tried: Shuko Mixto Torta-like shell - nice n'crispy with unique toppings like kraut + avocado + mayo + mustard variety of savory meat ~ sounds random but this HITS Quesedilla Chiapaneca W / Shredded Chicken MASSIVE quesedilla with cilantro and other fresh toppings + home made tortillas, good crunch Chuchitos Slightly sweet masa tamales with an umami tomatoey pork filling ~ soft + meaty Rellanitos Slightly savory black beans wrapped in a ball of sweet mashed plantains W / crema as a dip ~ it was like a dessert to me + I enjoyed it v much If you like unique flavor combinations and textures, just order one of everything I listed. You will not be disappointed. The woman at the front was kind and welcoming. The restaurant was cute and clean and the parking lot is massive. I loved everything about Antojitos Tacana and you will too. Just try it and see for yourself!

I'm really disappointed writing this review because I truly love the food here. I actually drive a…read morelong distance just to come to this location, and the food itself has always been great. Unfortunately, the service has consistently been really bad. Most of the girls working there seem to have a bad attitude, and they give extremely small portions. On my last visit, I ordered a combo with carne guisada, and the girl serving me gave me the smallest two pieces of meat. I politely asked if that was the correct portion, and she said yes. The manager even agreed with her. I was honestly stunned. My husband even offered to buy me another order, but at that point I refused. It just didn't feel right to spend more money after that experience. It's sad because I really do love the food here, but the service and the way customers are treated just don't make it worth it. Unfortunately, this will be my last time coming to this location.

I wanted a little bit of everything but did go with the best option that didn't let me down "huevos rancheros" and "plátanos" So good and my order was prepped for me so fast. Parking was super easy because they have plenty of it. Ambience is family orientated a bit loud but it's a restaurant and a bakery I wouldn't expect anything less.
