Carne Asada.
Tram N.

I turned 44 on Cinco de Mayo. Instead of something fancy, I wanted to try this place on a Friday (after Cinco de Mayo) because I did not want to get caught up in traffic on a day that is used as an excuse to drink. Parking sucks and if you are on a time constraint, do not come here. I waited about 20-25 min. for my order. I ordered the single meat baked potato (carne asada) and a Diet Coke. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was flavorful and filling.

Finally tried this place and got the shrimp and carne asada. It was good but it was a tad bit salty for me. I think I needed more sour cream and it would have hit the spot. Also got a mango agua and that was very refreshing. They are in an area where if you miss the entrance you'll have to go around again.

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!!

Response from business owner.

I ordered a side of fries and asked for some ketchup. The guy tells me they don't have ketchup??? I'm sorry but really that's ridiculous! Then I asked for a fork and he says there's some on the table but okay. Clearly there was none left where they were supposed to be that's why I asked sir. Absolutely horrible service train your staff better!

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 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!

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 !

Kevin D.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

We were seated pretty quickly around 3pm on a Saturday, but it did take some time for our waiter to stop by and take our order. What was ordered: + Guacamole - this was a great appetizer to start with and to eat with the tacos we ordered. Their chips are fried well and thick to hold all that guac. + Carne asada tacos - the carne asada was cooked well and was tender but it didn't have a lot of flavor, it felt like the salsa had most of the flavor profile. The beans that come with the dish are delicious though! + Enchilada suiza - this was our favorite dish! The chicken was insanely tender and we were able to cut the enchiladas with our forks. The rice and beans were a great complement. Overall, we would definitely come back with friends in the future. I'd be interested to check out the parrilladas.
