The location offers plenty of parking and seating, though I did notice there were limited high chairs available. The shrimp and fish tacos were decent.

It's always made me nostalgic in the sense that it reminds me of my grandmas cooking growing up. The servers and staff are always kind and efficient. The restaurant always feels welcoming, open and clean. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. This restaurant unfortunately closes permanently today (I think due to economic times).. so please please please go out and support them on their last day today May 24th 2026. And thank you to this restaurant for being one of my all time favorites. You'll be missed

What can I say about this location of Fairplex in La Verne? The ambience inside was over the top…read more Right now they have the soccer game on. And the energy in that room is pretty lit. You can sit outside or inside depends on your needs. The waitress or waiter comes over after you're gonna breathe to ask what you want. We both ordered over the senior menu to see what they offer. There isn't enough food, just satisfy your hunger without the high cost. If you want a quick meal that is worth what you pay for. This location is for you. Thank you for making my lunch even better with the great service and the great food. On a note. I forgot my camera so I could not take pictures of what it is.

We've come to La Popular several times now for happy hour and Taco Tuesdays, and we've really…read moreenjoyed it! My favorite is the ribeye and corn tacos, they're so flavorful. The Queso Fundido with chorizo is also one of the best! The live band entertainment on Tuesdays changes weekly, which keeps things fun and exciting. Unfortunately, there wasn't a band last Tuesday, but these things happen. Taco Tuesdays can get crowded very quickly, so I definitely recommend making reservations, especially for parties of four or more. Indoor seating fills up fast, and you may be left with outdoor seating. During hot weather, the patio can feel quite humid, and the outdoor chairs can become uncomfortable after sitting for a while. Service is decent and about what you'd expect when the restaurant is busy. Overall, we enjoy coming here with friends for the food, happy hour, and lively atmosphere.

The service was attentive, recieved recommendations and the communication between lunch break/shift change was great . Went with the Baja shrimp tacos that were lightly fried but grilled is also an option . The Chipotle sauce was good, and the size of the tacos were filling with 3 . They also have an outdoor patio for seating which on cooler evenings look appealing. The crowd is a nice mix of college, families and people looking to have a nice evening . Would recommend it to someone wanting to try a new place .

We ordered drinks get which we were slightly disappointed with but mixed drinks they are always a hit and miss at any place. We ordered our food. Never received it. We kept advising the waitress that we haven't done our food and also let her know that there were two tables were sat after us paid, are and left and we still didn't get anything. Then we were told there was no asada or no Carnitas. Which is fine because that's not what we ordered in any of our meals. The ambience was filled with other disgruntled customers and one guy actually advised us he was about walk out since he never saw anybody. So I can't comment on the food because we never got it. The service was horrible. When we got our bill, they charge us for extra drinks which we never received which I had them correct. We live up the street from them and trust me. We will never ever go back. I am a resident of Claremont over 21 years. I had tried them twice and both times were not that great. We were hoping they had improved, but sadly dissatisfied. Our little girl was really starting to get bothered because she was hungry and it took forever. I highly recommend any other place besides this place

I've always passed by here but never had the chance to try it until one of my friends invited me to…read morecome out with her and some others :) I ended up ordering the Nachos, and they were actually pretty good! I'm not usually a Mexican food kind of person, so this was a pleasant surprise. The cheese was flavorful, and the ground beef and beans added so much to every bite too! And of course, you can never go wrong with sour cream haha. I wasn't planning on taking leftovers this time, so one of the servers recommended I get the small instead of the large, and I'm glad I listened! Even the "small" was still super loaded and filling. I was struggling to finish it by the end haha. All in all, I would definitely come back again and reorder the Nachos lol. One of our friends got the La Paloma Wings, and they looked so appetizing that I'm already thinking about trying those next time! The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful with all my questions, which made the experience that much more enjoyable!!

We absolutely love this place and decided to come for our anniversary. I'll preface this by saying…read morethe food taste was amazing, like always. But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way. I always order the mole chicken enchiladas and my wife (being vegetarian) asks for the same dish but if the enchiladas can be vegetable or cheese. Apparently this means a 8$ up charge? We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.

Nevertheless, the cashier was super friendly and even brought my food and drink out to my table. I was delighted to discover just how generous the meat portions were in the chicken, carnitas, al pastor, and buche tacos! The meat was practically overflowing at times, which I definitely appreciated since sometimes it can feel like you're eating more tortilla than filling haha. In the moment, I only managed to eat 2 of my 4 tacos and ended up saving the other 2 for later. Still just as good! As for the Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca, I loved how huge the cup was, and it was indeed super refreshing. Perfect for a hot day!! Overall, I enjoyed how spacious the restaurant was inside. If I ever came back with a group, there would definitely be plenty of seating available.

My biggest problem with this place is they are way too slow. You can come late in the afternoon after the lunch rush-hour and they are still way slow with only just two or three tables with people. Seriously too slow. No excuse for this other than management is NOT on top of their game. They need to step it up or they or they are going to lose business. You can't operate like this let alone in a downtown environment.
