Dinner for 2 on a Thursday at Papa Cristos on W. Pico. About Papa Cristo's For nearly 60 years, C & K Importing Company has been serving the Greek community on the same corner at 2771 West Pico Boulevard. Sam Chrys opened the market in 1948 with intentions to bring the foods and wines of Greece to Los Angeles . He did so by importing all products from Greece while still maintaining a low price to his valued customers and friends. C & K Importing Company grew into a market where all ethnicities come to visit and always enjoy the purity of the product assortment. In 1968, Chrys Chrys purchased the business from his father to carry on the legacy. Chrys Chrys had an idea to open a Greek restaurant. He traveled to the many regions and islands of Greece to understand the flavors and tastes in authentic Greek cooking. He wanted to bring this authenticity back to his restaurant. In the early 1990's, Papa Cristo's Taverna was established. Only meats, seasonings, cheeses, olive oils, and other culturally true ingredients are used to prepare the dishes offered at Papa Cristo's Taverna. C & K Importing Company and Papa Cristo's Taverna are known as Athens in L.A. Our reputation has grown past California and to as far as Greece itself. Chrys Chrys takes pride in providing his customers and friends with the best tasting foods, best service, and best price -- just like his father.
