Get it. Just go. You know you want it. Their food is such a guilty pleasure. Service is kinda slow but it makes sense the place is busy and the little area they're in has so much activities going on. The vibes were great!!

Shrimp baked potato
Carl W.

I've seen this place on Instagram a couple of times and I was craving a baked potato so I decided to see what the hype was about. Nice area for food trucks, great variety of places to eat. I ordered the shrimp baked potato and it was pretty good. Give this place a try

Triple Meat Baked Potato (Tres Carnes)
Phil N.

Really good!!! I usually have really plain baked potatoes so this was very different but amazing! The triple meat made me full and normally I can eat a lot. You'll probably be full for the rest of the day if not most. The California burrito is also very good and filling. I recommend checking it out!

Asada & shrimp
Coleen P.

Baked potato cravings satisfied!! Ordered the asada & shrimp baked potato and it was delicious. I had leftovers and it reheats up well! Cucumber agua fresca was super refreshing. Also had bites from my friend's asada fries & Cali burrito - the chipotle sauce on those 2 is good!! Only reason I give 4 stars is because I wish they actually gave more jalapeños on the potato (only a little bit in the middle) + I wish they had salsa to put on all the meat!!

Three meats papa loca
Omar S.

Food was honestly amazing, wish there was more hot sauce options but other than that amazing. Service was amazing and fast, they seem to be very organized. The vibes were amazing, could get very hectic though !

Three meat!
Hannah W.

Had no idea there were these tiny pockets of adorable food trucks tucked away in San Jose! We made the trek and will share its 100% worth it! The La Papa Loca truck is located all the way at the end of the corridor of food trucks. We ordered the 2 meat baked potato with asada steak and shrimp! Tons of flavor! The shrimp is seasoned well and plump! The steak is cooked with a nice sear and soft! The potato comes with sour cream, cheese, salt/pepper, green onions and jalepeno! (We were splitting with our little one and the tiny slivers of spicy peppers caught us off gaurd-next time we will skip the jalepenos!) My husband got a three meat potato and I have to say, it's worth it, for less than a dollar you get an extra scoop of protein-you can't beat the deal! If you're bringing the kiddos, come on the weekend where they have live music and a bounce house!

Everything was well seasoned and there's that many places in SJ that sell loaded baked potatoes. Portion size is kind of small for $17.

Baked Potato
Kelli K.

Delicious! Came her specifically for the loaded baked potato! I've been craving potatoes and haven't had a good baked potato in a while! Found them on Instagram and knew I had to try them! I ordered double meat and added pico de gallo. So good! It was so loaded I barely made a dent in it! Are about 1/3 and took it home! Popped it in the air fryer later on and ate so good! A must try!

We came here for their soft opening this week, it is located inside a food truck hub spot with parking surrounding it. We ordered two of the three meat combo baked potato and ours had asada, shrimp, and bacon as toppings. It came with all the fixings and took about 15 minutes to come out. There are other toppings you can add, but we wanted to try by itself first. It was delicious and I love the concept of a hearty baked potato. I would definitely come back here.

3 meat loaded potato and mango agua fresca
Britany L.

Omg best loaded potatoes hands down!! My first time trying this spot. Was recommended by a lot of friends and also seen them blow up on tik tok. I came on a Friday around 8p.m and was able to order quickly and get my food quickly as well. Only took about 10 mins total and was hot and fresh. I love their portions. 1 order can definitely feed 2 people. I chose the 3 meat loaded potato and added guacamole and corn. So good and filling. Will be coming back again. So delicious. I also got their mango Agua Fresca drink so fresh and yummy as well.

Carne asada and shrimp
Rayna T.

My friend brought me here, and the prices were pretty reasonable. This spot is located at the grid, surrounded by a variety of other food trucks. I ordered their carne asada with shrimp. I wasn't expecting my plate to be so loaded. But they definitely didn't skimp on portions. The only downfall was the shrimp, it was pretty bland and could've used a lot more seasoning. But overall, I'd come back.

I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

Our server was Sebastian & he was super friendly, attentive & recommended us the goods. My favorite here was their enchiladas - red & stuffed with chicken tinga. It also came with a side of rice & beans. The pickled red onions that came on top was delicious as well. My daughter even loved it & she's super picky about her onions. Drinks were good, the michelada with the shrimps - fire. Paloma - not that strong for the price you pay, but it was still alright. Guacamole - my kids loved Sebastian recommended us the coffee to-go, super flavorful Overall good vibes, great service, good food Will recommend.

I was really hoping this would be a good experience overall, but unfortunately it got REALLY…read moresketchy at the end. When we got the check, we almost didn't look closely--THANK GOD WE DID. They charged us for an adult Chicken and Waffles even though we sent it back and got the correct kids' portion I originally ordered. They also charged us for TWO molcajetes when only ONE came out. The check went from $265 to $200 after we caught everything. 1000000% they were hoping we wouldn't notice. I could believe it was an honest mistake if two molcajetes had come out, but they didn't. Since gratuity was already included, it really makes me wonder how many people have overpaid without realizing it. We came in with a group of 6. Everything was okay at first. We ordered chips with salsa and beans, and the beans were delicious, so we ordered a second round. At most restaurants, chips and salsa are free, so we assumed the same here. Unfortunately, we were never told the second round wasn't free, or that only one refill was included, and no one asked if we were okay with the additional charge. My dad and I shared the molcajete, which was pretty good, had enough meat, and was literally BOILING hot. My MIL and husband both ordered the Carne Asada plate. It was tasty but had really small portions, so we had to share our food with them to fill them up. My kids ordered French toast and chicken strips. They were originally supposed to get Chicken and Waffles, but they were out of waffles or couldn't make them--I'm not really sure. This is where the problems started. I specifically said KIDS chicken & waffles twice when ordering, but they brought out the adult size for my oldest, which was $8 more. Fine, we can call that an honest mistake, but then it was also charged on the final bill even after we sent it back. Unfortunately, after everything with the bill, we will NOT be going back here again.

The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing. It also came with chips, though ours seemed like crumbs from the bottom of the barrel. We got the Trompo tacos and Sautéed Shrimp tacos. Both were tasty, and the tortillas seemed fresh. Decent food, great service, small portions, a bit expensive for what you get and that's before the 4% fee.

My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.

They also have an outdoor seating area now. Professional and clean + a bar for cocktails I would go here more frequently if I didn't live 30 min away (without traffic). Highly recommend this place
