Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Cuautitlán Izcalli, Papas y Snacks Las Fritas is a vibrant local gem that offers a delightful journey into classic Mexican snack cuisine.

Known for its warm, inviting atmosphere, this spot combines affordable comfort food with exceptional customer care, making every visit a memorable experience.

The menu showcases an array of beloved snacks with standout dishes that keep locals coming back for more. The papas a la francesa are an absolute must-try—golden, perfectly salted, and with a unique seasoning that sets them apart from the ordinary. Guests rave about their banderillas, skewers bursting with flavor, which pair wonderfully with a side of crispy papas en gajos or the addictive aros de cebolla. For those who prefer a heartier bite, the simple yet satisfying hamburguesa de res con queso and the tender hamburguesa de pollo hit the spot without breaking the bank.

But it's not just the savory items that draw attention—sweet fried plátanos fritos offer a delightful contrast to the salty menu, delivering a sweet comfort that lingers. The nuggets de pollo and alitas de pollo con papas a la francesa are freshly prepared and seasoned to perfection, highlighting the kitchen’s commitment to quality and freshness. The friendly, attentive owners add a personal touch that enhances the overall enjoyment, turning casual diners into loyal patrons.

Customers consistently highlight the impeccable quality and flavor of the dishes. As one regular puts it, the “sazón de las papas fritas es especial,” avoiding the greasy, oil-burnt taste typical of some fried foods. Others appreciate the speedy, courteous service and the cozy waiting area, making each visit comfortable even during busy times. Whether you’re craving a quick snack after work or looking to indulge in local favorites with friends, Papas y Snacks Las Fritas offers a genuine, satisfying experience that feels like a warm embrace — affordable, flavorful, and authentically Mexican.

El sazón de las papas fritas es especial, no saben al clásico aceite quemado, aparte de que son papas de excelente calidad. Todos sus demás platillo, como las banderillas, plátanos machos, altas, etc son preparados en el momento y son deliciosos. Amen de la atención personalizada y muy atenta de sus dueños que aparte de todo son muy amables y carismáticos.

El lugar está limpio, los precios son muy accesibles, y buena la elaboración, solo que les falta más carisma en el trato, y prevenirse con producto ya elaborado por que hay que esperar a que lo elaboren en el momento y cuando hay gente el tiempo de espera es considerable
