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!

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.

Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

The ambiance inside was about a 3/5. It felt a little dirty, and the windows could definitely use a…read moregood cleaning. The outdoor seating, though, was really nice. We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

JoJo's Hot Chicken has been a fried chicken food truck that's been an awesome option…read more Recently, they have moved to a restaurant located near Campbell. It's clean and has a lot more space than the truck. Food might take longer because of the demanding service. Fried chicken is always consistent and leaves little room for improvement. This is always going to be a daily for me and I will continue to forever attend this place when I'm craving fried chicken.

Thursday we had the late night munchies and decided to check in on how one of our favorite food…read moretrucks was faring as it transitioned to a brick and mortar restaurant. First the good, Your favorites are still there and are just as good served across a counter as they were handed down from a food truck window. We split their sliders with Louisiana Rub and fries and loved them as we always have. Secondly, it was a bit slow on this Thursday night. I believe Jojo's Kooser road customers haven't found their new home. Third, some thoughts on the location. It's clean but utilitarian and basic. I'd love to see it get a little soul and perhaps provide more of a nod to the food truck past. Maybe also expand the menu with the larger kitchen? Jojo's still has the sandwiches we love and it will be fun to watch it grow into its new space. (Loved the Jeremiah and Corinthians references too. Appropriately hopeful)

Before any of these food trucks became popular, we'd always refer to these trucks as "Roach…read moreCoaches!" Do any of you remember that? Whenever I'd hear about a food truck back in the day, the first thing that would come to mind is prepackaged food. However, those days are long gone! These food trucks are now capable of whipping up gourmet meals that could potentially rival any local sit down restaurant. At this particular location, the trucks only come out on Friday night, with 9-11 different trucks to choose from. They also provide live music and fun games for the family. They do provide 5 gallon buckets that are used for seats, and a couple of planks/boards that can be used as tables while you are scarfing down your food. Some folks just bring their own chairs, as those buckets eventually make your ass pretty sore. These are the trucks that will be here on Friday 10/30/15 333 Truck Chairman Truck Fairycakes Gold Rush Eatery Oh Miso Hungry Sam's Chowdermobile Sanguchon Treatbot Waffle Amore As you can see, it is pretty diverse. From a cupcake to a lobster roll, take your pick! Side note: If you plan on staying for a few hours, bring your own chairs! Your ass will thank you later. Conclusion: Who wants to keep track of where a certain food truck is going to be next week at 11:30 AM on Wednesday? Show up on a Friday night and you can treat yourself to about 10 trucks at once. It doesn't get any better than that. ***Minus 1 Star for some of the ridiculous prices***

"Cream on the inside, clean on the outside. Ice, ice cream, ice cream paint job."…read more Plenty of food trucks to go around: Treatbot - Single Scoop $3.00 (Many flavors) The Chairman (Bao) - Steamed Tender Pork Belly with Turmeric Pickled Daikon & Green Shiso $3.75 Sam's Chowdermobile - PO Boy and Fries (Fried bay andouille with remoulade, toasted bun, and old bay fries) $8.75 - Sam's Lobster Roll (Maine lobster, warmed butter, toasted bun) Regular $16.12; Shortie $10.59 Tina's Tips and Tantrums - Parking limited, but free - Long lines are to be expected - Someone stands in line and someone save seats - Tummy was only hungry for three - Sam's Chowdermobile is always good especially their lobster roll. Super generous about their lobster! - First time, I've never had the Po Boy (andouille - slightly spiced) but it was good and oily though. Fries were bomb! - Chairman's pork belly bun was delicious, a wee bit on the greasy side - Ice cream flavors we had were Ube - Purple Yam, Old School Vanilla, and The 408 - Caramel Ice Cream with Oreos and Fudge. I loved my "The 408" so yummylicious! - Always a great way to spend time with your friends and family.
