Get lengua tacos & learn the native tongue. Everything is tasty. I love the pickled carrots & jalapeños. To me it's more authentic for the price point. Similar chain establishments will cover everything with nacho cheese & call it TexMex, this isn't that truck. And we are glad.

(From October, 2025)…read more Taco Tuesday in early October in Lafayette means yelping around which brings me to this truck. Right off of the Ambassador Caffery Parkway, it used to be called the El Taqueria Louisiana Dollar #2 or something like that. I guess it's now renamed as El Cazador. Inflation unfortunately brings the pricing up pretty high which is $3.50 per taco. I used to read that it was 4 tacos for $5 back before COVID effed everything up. I had reservations about if I wanted to order here but the smells had me hooked so I did 5 tacos mix of barbacoa, cabeza, carnitas x2, and asada. The lady in the truck was super sweet and the food got to me quickly. Upon unwrapping and eating everything in the hotel room, I like how everything was packaged and they threw in grilled onions, and a serrano pepper for spice. The tacos tasted good; juicy meats with onions/cilantro accompanying it. While I'm not thrilled about the price charged, I can't complain too much as the taste is there. Cash only FYI. Maybe there is somewhat of a decent taco game in Louisiana!

I had the barbacoa enchiladas. The red sauce was great full of good chili flavor and the babrbacoa essence came thru wonderfully.

Give it a shot bilingual menus are available.

In a nutshell, this is one of the best Mexican food restaurants you can find…read more The location of the place is not ideal, as it's in an area of Lafayette that faces a lot of crime and is generally not a place to visit at night. However, it helps the place gain the whole hole-in-the-wall fact. I've been to El Potrillo quite a few times now. Enough to know what my favorite dish is--a white enchilada with Spanish rice. Out of the many times I've gone, I've only had one bad experience where the food was not cooked enough. Not a big deal, in my opinion. The atmosphere at the restaurant is genuine and one of the best out of all the Mexican places I've been to. The pricing is amazing, the service is very responsive (they actually check on you frequently!), and it's one of the best. I have no reason to give this place anything but a five-star review. Thanks!

We love bands and go listen to live music weekly but the volume was ridiculous! We couldn't even hear each other across from the table to speak. We moved inside so we could visit!

The menu has many choices of meals as well. The food is made fresh, and has always been delish. Prices are great as well. Many people haven't eaten Honduran food, but it's a hand ups food joint. They have some prepared drinks like at Mexican restaurants, horchata and other flavors. Many choices of soda like Mexican Cokes, and lots of flavored sodas including Jarritos. Great experience every time I pick up food. Usually Futbol on the tv. They also sell music cds of vallenatos, and other styles.
