La Papa Rodante is a charming fast-food spot nestled in Santa María Tepepan, renowned for its delectable potato dishes. Patrons rave about the variety of potato offerings, especially the chicken potato, which features tender breast meat, fresh peppers, and a velvety chipotle cream sauce. Many reviews highlight the unique twist on traditional stuffed potatoes, presenting them as creamy delights rather than the usual whole spuds.

Customer Kenny Ortiz praises the generous portions, noting the satisfaction derived from each dish. While the menu may be compact, the quality is evident, with delightful desserts like flan and chocolate truffles on offer for those with a sweet tooth. Idalia Rosas chimes in with her simple yet powerful endorsement, declaring it "deli deli."

On the drink side, while the horchata is described as overly simple, the twist in the strawberry flavor is a refreshing surprise. However, potential visitors should be mindful about the limited seating and varying peak times. Overall, La Papa Rodante impresses with its mouthwatering creations and is certainly worth another visit, as echoed by numerous satisfied diners.

Reviews For La Papa Rodante

I give it 5 stars because I loved the potato! I ordered the chicken potato that has cubes of breast, pepper, cheese & comes bathed in chipotle cream, my partner ordered the Hawaiian potato and it was equally delicious! We visited them on a Saturday at approximately 3:30, the place was empty, although people began to arrive to pick up orders, the waiting time was quite acceptable, about 15 to 20 minutes. The potatoes are very filling! I was looking forward to one of the desserts to choose from (flan, tapioca, chocolate truffle, carrot cake, corn bread). The menu is a little small but I will definitely return, it was delicious

The potatoes are delicious. It is not the typical whole potato, it comes as mashed potatoes mixed with the other ingredients and covered in creamy chipotle sauce. They come super well served, a little expensive but totally worth it. I tried the vegetarian one and I highly recommend it, my companion ordered the Hawaiian one and it was also delicious. The horchata water was not particularly delicious, it was very simple, it almost tasted like milk with water and sugar. The strawberry one surprised me because it had lemon. Inside the place it is hot, there are about four tables, there is no parking but there are sinks. Depending on the time it gets busy but more with delivery people or people ordering takeout.

Unfortunately, the day I went they didn't have electricity (due to reasons beyond their control), and in terms of costs, it's a little more expensive than their mobile branch, which is located near the Prepa 1 metrobus station (Majuelos and near Division del Norte).

Excellent place to get a delicious and affordable meal. The waiter is a bit curt but not rude. The space is medium-sized, but it's good to avoid overcrowding.

It's a casual spot, ideal for a snack or a get-together with friends. They sell delicious baked potatoes accompanied by buns. My favorite is the Hawaiian. You can pair your potato with a bottle of Martinelli's (non-alcoholic apple juice), soda, or agua fresca. There's no parking. They accept cash and credit card payments.
