I decided to go with the straight forward chicken tacos. I like the fact that they keep these tacos fairly simple. Cilantro with onions on the side you can't complain. The tacos themselves aren't really that big but they are quite flavorful. The shredded chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. I would definitely stop here again.

The bacon is deliciously crispy without being greasy at all. The cheese is a perfect combination of melty and hot without being gooey. The jalapeño is soft but not soggy- has a tiny bit of crunch! The portion of the bean dip/spread? With chips is just what you need without going overboard. I will say this is my hyper obsession meal because I know I can only get it here. There isn't any other place in town that I have found that serves this exact same dish. The plate comes with three of them, rice, salad, beans+chips. If you're there for anything else and want to try one chile they will let you add it to your entree.

Large menu with a variety of options, I have the tacos , which came with beans and rice, the beans were nice and the rice held its own, the other dish had fried chicken, this was a first for me coming from Mexican food, and was surprised by the flavor which was great, the only thing was the coleslaw I would like on the side, so it doesn't take away the crunchy chicken other then that great, just get the slaw on the side and you have something special that goes well with the fried plantains. Very friendly service, and they have their own flair.

El Potrillo Mexican Restaurant and Grill was a pleasant surprise. I have passed this restaurant…read morefor years and never thought to stop, but this particular evening I was in the mood for a true Taco Tuesday which for me means a good margarita and plenty of chips and salsa. My family joined me and the atmosphere immediately felt local and customer focused. The complimentary chips and salsa set the tone. The salsa had a distinct and fresh flavor with a light kick. It did not taste canned, and I even overheard another table asking if the recipe had recently changed. Whatever they are doing, it works. I ordered the fajita quesadilla which was a nice portion and came with rice and beans that were both enjoyable. My margarita was not as strong as I prefer. I do not need to taste the alcohol, but I at least want to feel like I am not drinking juice. My parents ordered the Texas fajita which came with four meats including chorizo, chicken, shrimp, and steak. They were genuinely impressed and said they would order it again. Overall, I would definitely return. This spot earned a place on my list for an easy and satisfying weeknight dinner.

An Absolute Hidden Gem for Authentic Flavor in Lafayette! If…read moreyou are tired of the same old, watered-down Tex-Mex and want a meal that hits you with incredible, vibrant flavor, you need to get to La Papa Loca. This place is easily one of the best spots in town for genuine Mexican and Honduran comfort food. The absolute star of the show is their namesake dish, The Papa Loca. Forget everything you think you know about baked potatoes. They take a massive, perfectly baked potato, load it up with rich butter, melted mozzarella, fresh cream, and your choice of beautifully charred, seasoned meats like al pastor or arrachera (skirt steak), all served up with crisp tortilla chips. It sounds like a wild combination, but it is pure, comforting magic. Everything else on the menu hits the mark, too: The Street Tacos: Served the right way with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and incredible homemade salsas that pack a beautiful punch. The Gorditas & Tortas: Crisp, fluffy, and stuffed generously with perfectly seasoned meats that are never dry. The Atmosphere & Drinks: The vibe is incredibly welcoming and down-to-earth. Plus, if you catch their happy hour, their 2-for-1 margaritas and micheladas are the perfect refreshing pairing to the savory, rich food.  The staff is always friendly, the portions are massive for the price, and the food comes out hot and fast. Whether you are hitting up the Johnston Street location or grabbing food to go, La Papa Loca delivers an authentic, satisfying meal every single time. Don't skip this place--it's a local treasure.

The beef was burnt with zero actual beef flavor, the sausage was nasty and straight yikes, and why is there even ham on a burger? It's supposed to come with pineapple too (I ordered it without and they took it off, but still... why is that even a thing?). On top of the horrible food, their AC was probably broken because it was hot as hell inside. I might as well have just ordered the bread because everything about this experience was bad. Hard pass on the burger here. TLDR: don't come. Nasty and hot here.
