(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!

This review is for one dish and one dish only - the Chiles Cobijados…read more They stuff jalapeños with cheese, wrap it in bacon and get it perfect every single time. 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.

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.
