Wonderful food... casera style! Portions are huge. One plate feed two! Burrito was more than a foot long! Ingredients fresh and authentic. Highly recommended! read more

This review is for one dish and one dish only - the Chiles Cobijados. They stuff jalapeños with cheese, wrap it in bacon and get it perfect every single time. The bacon is deliciously crispy without being greasy at all. The cheese is a perfect combination of melty and hot without being gooey. The jalapeño is soft but not soggy- has a tiny bit of crunch! The portion of the bean dip/spread? With chips is just what you need without going overboard. I will say this is my hyper obsession meal because I know I can only get it here. There isn't any other place in town that I have found that serves this exact same dish. The plate comes with three of them, rice, salad, beans+chips. If you're there for anything else and want to try one chile they will let you add it to your entree. read more

Omg, this was my second time going! So many restaurants were closed on Monday, pushed us to change our plans and have dinner somewhere that was open. We enjoyed so many delicious dinner options and buy one get one free margarita didn't hurt either read more

I was fortunate enough to find this location by accident, they have a nice seating area, and also has take out with a drive through. Large menu with a variety of options, I have the tacos , which came with beans and rice, the beans were nice and the rice held its own, the other dish had fried chicken, this was a first for me coming from Mexican food, and was surprised by the flavor which was great, the only thing was the coleslaw I would like on the side, so it doesn't take away the crunchy chicken other then that great, just get the slaw on the side and you have something special that goes well with the fried plantains. Very friendly service, and they have their own flair. read more

La Papa Loca - Burrito loco with carne asada. - Latin American Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Was directed here by my Family, who were familiar. Unexpectedly traditional mix of actual Mexican & Central American dishes. Very large portions. NOT. Tex-Mex, which is welcome. Not "Americanized". Menudo & caldo de res on weekends. Park on-site strip center lot. Arrive hungry & skip the tostadas & salsa. You won't be sorry. Caveat: Wet restroom floors can be slippery. read more

The best Mexican food in town. I thought the tacos were amazing, but today I ordered the breakfast burrito. First bite had me in heaven. I shared them with co-workers, who agreed, THE BEST we have ever had. Now I can't stop thinking about them. read more

Food was not correct. Menu description and what actually comes in the dishes aren't exactly the same. Ordered my food and it came with extra ingredients that weren't in the description. And I also told them 2 things I didn't want on my dish and of course one of those things was inside the burrito. And they even got someone out the back to make sure they understood what I was saying but still somehow didn't get it right. The only thing that was right in my order was my drink. read more

Amazing food and easy to get to. I stopped by while on a roadtrip and it was fantastic! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come here! read more

Ordered steak fajita quesadillas with rice & beans for dinner, to go. Even in a to-go container, the presentation was great! My son and I enjoyed the quesadillas very much. Enough food that it's almost too much and it's fairly priced. Will definitely be returning. read more

This place is amazing!!! The staff is very nice and professional, they are a VERY clean establishment with incredible food! I've tried almost everything from this place and never been disappointed! Every time I come into town this will forever be my go to spot read more

Called in an order for the Burrito ( Burrito, rice, beans and side salad) plate which was delicious. Was it worth the $11 plus dollar price? No.\! On the app the cost is $8.00 while in the restaurant the cost is $11.00 . Now keep in mind last year the same dish cost $6.50. But hey if people are willing to pay, oh well. read more

This isn't your typical mexican restaurant. This is where you go if you want GOOD food. The pork and steak tacos were great, and the chicken burrito was phenomenal. Rice was cooked perfectly and the beans have such great flavor. Probably some of the best guacamole I've ever had. Everyone has their "favorite/best" mexican restaurant, but after my first time here, this easily takes the throne for the food. This isn't a go in and have margaritas with friends type of place, but they easily have the best mexican food in lafayette. read more

The plantains were great! First time I have had them whole as compared to sliced. The banana leaves add such a great flavor to the tamales. The pork inside of the tamales was very flavorful. If you haven't tried them please do consider. You won't be disappointed. read more

La Papa Loca was at one time a food truck but they became so popular that they had to open their own restaurant. It's on a busy intersection (who am I really kidding? Every intersection in this town is busy) so be on the look out for it on the corner of Georgette and Eraste Landry Road next to a little print shop. Keep in mind parking is sparse and it stays crowded, so calling ahead or even using Waitr or Door Dash could save you a headache. Despite the things that aren't so great about La Papa Loca, the food MORE than makes up for it. The portions are ginormous-easily shareable between two or three people and best of all, affordable! So far I've sampled: Tacos Dorados-chicken tacos with lettuce, avocado, pico de gallo, cheese and cream. Comes 5 to an order and these are unique and very good. Asado Burrito-easily my favorite. The beef has been slow cooked and shredded and it's flavorful and delicious. Needs no sauce whatsoever but their hot sauce compliments it perfectly. Note-this hot sauce is not your mama's hot sauce. It's the creep up on you kind of sauce that burns your lips and tongue long after it's gone. Ask for it. It's a crazy looking orange sauce. You have been warned. Al Pastor Tostado served with lettuce, beans, pico de gallo, chesse and cream. The meat in this one again had a very good, slow cooked flavor. Don't wait!! Go give La Papa Loco a try! read more

There are so many hidden gems in Lafayette and this happens to be one. I have never heard of this place, until a foodie friend had mentioned it. We had the following: Papa Loca - Baked potato stuffed with your choice of mozzarella cheese, roasted meat, or al pastor with butter. Served with cream and tortilla chips - yes, a baked stuffed potato sounds ridiculous for a Mexican restaurant, but this is by far my favorite dish! Everything worked so well together, the melty cheese and the fatty pork and toppings! Delicious! Torta - Mexican bun. Served with your choice of protein, ham, American cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado, Cotija cheese, and cream - delicious, toasty, buttery and flavor jammed between two buns Tacos Dorados Hondureños - Fried chicken tacos. Served with cabbage, tomato sauce, pico de gallo, red onions, sauce, and cheese - we had ordered this to-go, so by the time it got home, it was like a wet mop.. maybe if we would have ate it there, I am sure it would of been good Sope - Served with refried beans, your choice of protein, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, and cream - a thick tortilla holding all the toppings in one small snack, I thought it was only mediocre, a little too doughy for me Mexican Style Hot Dog - Hot dog wrapped with bacon, pico de gallo, fried onions, roasted jalapeños, mayo, mustard, and ketchup - it really is what it sounds, just a hot dog dressed to be mexican-ish, too simple, not enough flavor Taco - Served with your choice of protein, grilled onions, cilantro, and lemons on a freshly made tortilla - tacos were good, but I felt like most of the meats were somewhat dry, but still flavorful Quesadilla - flavorful and cheesy Tamales - tamales were on spectacular! Definitely on the top three items here. Overall, had a pretty good experience, definitely coming back for the Papa Loca and tamales for sure! read more

Authentic Mexican food! No chips, salsa or guacamole, but when all the locals are there for lunch, you know you chose well! The sauces are great too! The green is mild and the red is spicy! Perfectly tasty! I had rice and beans with an avocado on the side, hubby had the four asada tacos. Deliciousness! No beer, but plenty of bottled sodas. Thanks gals for a tasty lunch! read more

Soggy food altogether, I've eaten here millions of times and their tacos are good, but everything else I've tried is soggy af. Not coming back again read more

One of the only places open right after the hurricane and we were all starving. Lady taking our order was somewhat friendly, food came out fairly quickly, the burritos were pretty good but the tacos and other items looked great! read more

Food was wonderful, came out fast and was very clean. The only bad thing I could say, Was it was warm inside the restaurant.

I would consider this more of a Honduran restaurant than a Mexican one, which is what we expected when we stopped. Pleasantly surprised though to see more Honduran food in Lafayette. Everything we ate was really tasty and well seasoned. Their sauces are excellent as well but Beware the "Hot" Hot sauce lol... read more

Finally found a great place in Lafayette who sell authentic tacos. Friendly all female staff! Meat seasoned to perfection. I forgot to ask if they sell elotes. If they do it would be a game changer in Lafayette read more

The menu is outdated. The prices on the menu are not the actual prices. We given the menu with the outdated prices only because the menu was in English. However, we were not asked if we spoke or read Spanish. La Papa Loca added a tip to our order without our authorization. When we asked why it was added to our order the person at window indicated the system automatically adds the tip. La Papa Loca uses the Square system for transactions. Tips are never automatically added to transactions. Be sure to pay attention to your transactions at La Papa Loca. read more

Very delicious Mexican food. The steak tacos and Tacos Dorados were superb. Give this place a try!

Very good. It's a Honduran/Mexican place and it's on point. I'm a Mexican food snob and this place impressed me very much. I have not had good Mexican since I've moved back to Lafayette and this place changed my outlook. It's authentic. I had the al pastor taco. And it was very very good. I'll def be back to try some of the other dishes on the menu as well. read more

Great menu choices. It was hard to make a decision because I'm a big fan of Mexican food. Everything looked good! I went with the steak torta, which is a Mexican style sandwich. Very tasty and filling! I was also impressed with the margarita. It had the perfect amount of alcohol. The chips and salsa were a bit different. I guess I was expecting the usual tomatoey salsa, but instead it was more of a queso-like dip. Definitely a great place to try for brunch or lunch! read more

Pork tamales are spicy and flavorful because of the banana leaves the mass has a different texture than Mexican tamales but I really like the flavor that the banana leaves give. The lengua tacos were excellent you could actually taste the tongue it was juicy and tender not over cooked. The carnitas quesadilla was very good not to much cheese you could still taste the meat. read more

The food was mediocre but it took almost an hour for it to come out. Just 4 people. On top of the blah food they charged for water in a glass and said it was bottled water. The waitress only came to the table for the order, delivery of food and I had to hunt her down to get the check. They only had 8 cars in the parking lot. We will not be coming back. read more

Incredible food! Absolutely love this place!!! Most authentic Latin food I have ever had outside of Latin America! You have to try it!!!

This is the most authentic Spanish food from a restaurant I've had in Lafayette! I'm from New Orleans and my family is Honduran and I know good food when I taste it! This will be a must when I come in town. I thought looked sketchy from outside because not too many cars and not typically lit up as I'm used to seeing in Latin restaurants ....inside I found many tables to accommodate large groups, a busy kitchen with phone frequently ringing, people picking up to go orders and others dining ...the food was so delicious...Can't say enough! We had the pork tamale(amazing), tacos, taquitos, carne arechada, plantains, and flan. Coming back for breakfast in the morning lol! read more

The food was really good. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures. And they give you a good bit of food even when you get take-out. It's really worth the money and there is a wide variety of choices. I highly recommend. read more

It ended up being a very pleasant surprise. We went here on a whim and the food was great, as well as the service. We did not expect the garlic salsa with the chips but it was good. Will definitely go back, and it is comparable to other authentic Mexican or Latin food. read more
