La Papa Loca 2

I have dined in once and had take out over three times. I am always impressed with the quality of the food, the taste, the presentation, and service. The service is unmatched! They listen to you and explain if clarification is needed when ordering. Never rude, just very welcoming and very kind.
I love La Papa Loca and I will continue to be a customer!
Thank you for the delicious meals! (:

My wife suggested that we try this spot which I assumed was Mexican dining. This place turns out to be Honduran cuisine. I loved the chips and various dips brought out to the table. I just wanted water as not to ruin my palate. My wife and son ordered lemonade and tea. I tried the burrito plate and my son had the quesadilla one. My wife had some type of steak plate. My plate had salad, double rice , and chicken burrito. My son had salad,rice,and chicken entry. My wife had chorizo,rice,salad,and steak entry.

So for my first time here i found it a bit hit or miss. I thought the chips with a spicy cheese sauce was great and different since most places serve salsa. They only have one size margarita and honestly I wish it was bigger, I can’t stand the type of glasses they use for them. I had the Barbacoa and a pork street taco, both were terrific I liked them and look forward to having them again. But the gorditas on the other hand just wasn’t good for me. They were a corn bready shell fried with hard crispy bits in places and soft cornbread areas that were a bit dry. I barely could taste the proteins in them because the shell was just so much. On the last one I opened the shell and just ate the inside. Authentic or not I just didn’t like it. I also had the fried plantains. I liked the unique direction with the condensed milk topping but I could hardly tell if the plantains were fried. They certainly were hot. I just wasn’t a fan of it and have enjoyed fried plantains a few times before elsewhere. I also had the Horchata drink, it was good, maybe heavy on the cinnamon. I enjoyed one elsewhere and it was a milder drink. I would like to try more on the menu because I think the potential is there. There has to be more to like since I loved the tacos. The service was good, generally a clean restaurant. Big place with a big bar. I’ll update next time.

Came here for some authentic Mexican food outside the usual Texmex found around here. I love street tacos and came here specifically to try them. They were indeed very good. Prices are really good here and the service was great as well. Will definitely come back.

This place is incredible. Everything tastes extremely fresh and is clearly made with care. The service is always really good as well. I highly recommend the namesake of the restaurant, the Papa Loca. It's a baked potato with cheese and pastor pork. You can't really go wrong with that. I haven't even had a chance to try all of the different meat options, but every single one that I've tried has been fantastic.

Do not go to this place expecting a normal Tex-Mex restaurant, like there are about a billion of them here in Lafayette. This place is Honduran influenced, and has incredibly unique food to the area. But, I would bet any amount of money that you will find something for anyone on this menu.

Sidenote: save your appetite. All of the portions are really big. They don't bring out chips and salsa in the beginning of the meal, but they do bring out chips and this really good cream sauce. Stick to that and save your appetite for the entrees. I can't wait to go back. I've gone twice this week haha.
