Had catfish Alicante, so appreciate that option as I don't do sandwiches. And better hush puppies than I had in south Las year. The catfish was so good. Highly recommend all of us in group ate something different and all good.​ read more

Tasty warm Beignet's freshly made; doused in powder sugar, what's not to like? This is all I have tried from this food cart, so I will have to find them again and order something else to give a full assessment. The good news is I would try it again and the good news is, I cant wait to try them again! read more

Cajun Papa's - Beignet - Food Trucks Near Me

Po Boy had delicious flavor and beignets were the best I've tasted around this neck of the woods since I went to New Orleans. Thank you for a great experience and service. read more

So I went to an outdoor concert and this was the food truck. I went up to the food truck before they opened and ask the young lady if they cater to GF and they do. I also asked if they have mild food as I CANNOT do hot and I get they're Cajun food truck and naturally hotter spice. The girl said their rice is a milder spice than Mexican food, so I thought that'll work. I then ask about the catfish, and she said it was grilled. Yet when I got to the window when they opened I was informed it was blackened. I've had blackened fish and just scrapped off the pepper, and it just left a mold bite. I then adked if they could just do a filet without spice and the owner (I presumed by his rude comment) interject that he make no exception. The way he said it mad my friend and the 6 people behi d look up and tske a step back as it was gruff and threatening. I choose to ignore the rude man and continued with the young lady yhat now had a red face. So I thought ok, I'll try it. The best thing I can say is that the food smells good, it came up fairly fast, and they ask how many forks you want. I will say the coleslaw was very good, my friend who never had a hush puppy (and they were not GF) could have them. She like me can't do hot food and she said it had a mild bite. The rice has andouille sausage and they didn't inform me of that. I LOVE catfish and have had it many ways, since I was looking forward to it. The filet was such a thin filet I was truly surprised as I've never had catfish this thin. I pulled the filet off the rice and scraped what I could off and it was so hot I was surprised. I tried eating just the rice and that was so hot I couldn't eat it. So $20 down the drain. I brought home the leftovers thinking my husband could eat it and he said it was too hot for him too. If they'd just been honest with me and suggest I don't order food from them I wouldn't be writing this bad review. I left me thinking are they that desperate for money that they felt it's better to ripe off one person then be honorable and suggest I pass. All I can say is the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I had the WHO DAT! - Blackened Catfish on a bed of Étouffée over Jambalaya - and let me tell you, this dish is a masterpiece. The blackened catfish was perfection: crisp, savory, and spiced just right to bring that signature Cajun kick without overpowering the dish. The étouffée? Pure comfort. It was like a warm hug in your belly, the kind that transports you straight to Louisiana with every bite. You know that moment in Ratatouille where the food takes you back to something special? Yeah, that kind of magic. And the hush puppies? Absolute gold. Crisp on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside--each bite was pure joy. This food truck is the real deal. The flavors, the quality, the experience--everything about it screams authenticity and love for Cajun cooking. Do yourself a favor and go support them. You won't regret it! ‼‼ read more

We went to check out theie menu when it was at the Portland Night Market, and when my bf saw that they had beignets, he had to have them, and he loved them. He saved some for breakfast the next day. I'm used to having beignets that are a little puffier, because these are more flat, but they were still good. Staff is very friendly, and there was a lot I wanted to try on the menu, but I was still full from my lunch earlier. read more

Waited an hour outside for them to open after they were scheduled to. They finally opened the service window and I tried to order Jambalaya. Guy cooking the food looked at me as if I shot his dog and the person taking my order said it would take atleast another hour. How is a "cajun" food truck taking over 3 hours to make jambalaya, and charging $30 for a serving that can fit in the palm of my hand? Everything was super expensive and it seemed like they didn't really care about serving decent food on time. I don't post negative reviews but it seems like other food trucks put everything into the food and we love to support as much as we can. Food trucks like this give others the bad rep that good food trucks try so hard to uphold. Sorry, experience was far below par and try to stay away every time they are in the neighborhood. read more

Food was delicious. Got the Who Dat (jambalaya+crawfish Étouffée+blackened catfish). Everything was awesome. Food only took about ten minutes even though they were *extremely* slammed. They must've been popping out an order a minute. Would definitely have it again. read more

I really want to like and support this place, especially since there aren't many other options for Cajun food... but it's just gone downhill the past few years. The past 2 times I visited, the rice was undercooked, and portions were noticeably smaller. Most recently, despite no updates to their menu, my jambalaya order came with a small slaw salad and 2 hush puppies, and much less jambalaya than previously. If I wanted those items, I would've ordered them. Instead, since they likely have allergens that I can't eat (can't be sure because no allergens are listed anywhere), I needed to throw them away and I got less jambalaya while still paying $16. It'd also be nice if they had a consistent location, but I get that food truck rent is outrageous in most food cart parks. Overall, the jambalaya is usually excellent, but it's now only worth the $16 for the portion you get if you actually enjoy their new side items.. read more

We were very excited to try this food truck as we are very much fans of Cajun food. We have been to Louisiana and know what to expect. I ordered the crawfish etoufee, the hush puppies, and the beignets. The etoufee was relatively bland, the hush puppies tasted like old oil, and the beignets were flat and chewy.. also oily. They also "accidentally" tipped themselves upon paying and while they offered to give it back, the fact that they did it to my daughter who paid next, left me feeling like it wasn't on the up & up. The food is ok. But for $32.. I can't say I would return. read more

Had to wait 40 minutes for my food. I finally inquired after another person complained about having to wait 15 minutes (he was yelled at and served soon after). They said they ran out of catfish and had to start my order from scratch. They should have let me know it would be longer wait time and given me the option for a refund instead. I also feel they should have offered a partial refund, or at least my tip back, after the extreme delay - I paid nearly $50 for 2 plates. This was all after they opened an hour later than the posted time online due to a miscommunication with the site host, so I had to come back because they weren't ready yet. All that aside, the jambalaya, catfish, and hush puppies are very good; their etouffee is bland imo. I've told at least a dozen people about this place but warned the ones who followed up to ask about it today and personally won't be back. read more

1000% recommend this cart. Everything is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the Voodoo Fries with shrimp

Unfortunately, their supplier was out of tots. But the Cajun fries were good. Overall the beignets stole the show. They were made fresh, to order, and it was absolutely incredible. I might have to come back and try the tots and some of their other menu items to give a more thorough review read more

Cajun Papa's - Beignets and Cajun fries - Food Trucks Near Me

I got lunch from Cajun Papa's truck. I'm a big fan of Cajun, Ainu was happy to see them, and I came away very pleased. I tried their jambalaya and blackened catfish. The catfish was more tender and delicious than I expected. The jambalaya prepared the traditional way, with alot of cooking fat; it's delicious, but pretty heavy. I'd love to try more of their food. I hope to see them roll up again soon! read more

Worth a try. It was a cold rainy day but the food came out fast. Order included the Black cat + Cajun Fries + Beignet's. All were delicious but do to the small portion sizes ended up having to order an additional meal elsewhere shortly after. Please see pictures. Pros: * flavor was top notch for all of the food items purchased * Friendly staff Cons: * Price per portion size expensive. 3 items(1 entree, 1 side, and 1 dessert) cost $29 * Cajun fries were cold within a few minutes. Almost like they were premade and sitting for a while * Order in bag did not include plastic silverware and napkins. I had to go back and ask after set up food to eat. * Ran out of Beignet's about halfway through their scheduled time Please see pictures. Overall, delicious food that didn't get my family or I sick. This place is worth a try if you have the money to spend averaging over $18 per person if you get 1 entree + 1 dessert(no drink). Make sure to ask for silverware so you don't have to eat your Jambalaya with your hands. Pro-tip get there early to order the Beignet's because they enlightened the experience of eating food with their succulent flavor and were soft enough to melt in your mouth. One try was good enough to fulfill my Cajun cravings at the moment. In summary, the food was flavorful(better than local restaurants attempt), pricing high per portion size, great option for Cajun but you are paying restaurant pricing for food cart value, worth trying at least once(as long as they have Beignet's). read more

I'm baffled by any and all negative reviews on this place. Yes, a food truck can take a while to get your food when they're slammed. I get frustrated by that too sometimes but let's focus on the quality of the food. I would seriously pay top dollar to eat this ridiculously good Cajun at a restaurant. I got the who dat and it was divine. A bed of jambalaya covered in etouffe topped with blackened catfish oh my! Got me singing your praises Cajun papa! Yes, it's $25 but you're basically getting 2 meals worth of food. It's so freaking good that I just happened to eat it all. Definitely heavy and I'm good with that cause fat is flavor. By the way, we got our food in 15 minutes and it was busy. They came out to the parking lot where I work at the Water Tower today. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to experience such amazing food and I hope to have another who dat soon! I wrote building management to please bring em back! Thanks again and sorry I didn't have the opportunity to tell you how good it was in person! read more

Damn fine po boy! Super friendly service, too. I will be coming back for the jambalaya.

Food is good but the truck service is not speedy. While I was alerted it would take an hour for jambalaya (which is already a very long wait for a food truck and their main dish) it actually ended up taking 80 minutes. Recommend they try preparing food ahead of time as the wait is not worth it. If you want to wait call ahead and be prepared. read more
