I couldn't finish it (see the cup it came in my hand) but I'd still get it again lol. The highlight of the whole thing for me though was the orchata!!! Not pictured but it was huge and extremely extremely delicious. I'll dream about it tonight

Yea this abomination of a burger came out so bad. It tasted like all the burnt leftovers from a…read morebarbecue were just mashed together and shoved into a bun. 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.

(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!

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.

When my husband went up to order, he tried pointing at the menu (since it's large and easier that way), but the person wasn't accepting. He was only doing that to avoid mispronouncing anything, especially after I had just been corrected somewhat abruptly on pronunciation when I asked about an item. It made the interaction feel a bit uncomfortable. We went around 2-3, thinking it might be a quieter time since we were coming in with an infant (which is new for us), but it actually started getting pretty busy. They do have some baby/car seat accommodations, which was helpful, but the dining area itself isn't very spacious; there wasn't much room for a stroller. Overall, the food was great, and we'd still return if we were in the area again to try more items, but the customer service and space could definitely use some improvement.
