    First time coming here everything was excellent service was friendly with a lot of great options. Tried each of their taco options on special, ribeye, Carnitas, street corn. It was very good atmosphere was perfect. I would come back to try other dishes.

    Cute restaurant in Claremont. We came here to celebrate our anniversary and decided we wanted to try someplace new. The interior is cute and the mood lighting definitely sets the ambience. The hostess was incredibly nice. Our waitress was nice. To start, I got the desert rose and my husband got the empire at dusk cocktail. The desert rose was refreshing and my husband enjoyed his. We got the salsa flight to start off. It comes with Salsa Llorona, Salsa Toreado, Salsa Lorenza, Avocado Salsa Verde. I love spicy and oh boy, their spiciest one definitely packs a punch but is so delicious. The toreado has soy sauce and sesame oil which definitely gives it an Asian twist. I got the street corn tacos which were delicious. As a vegetarian, it is hard to find good veggie tacos and I very much enjoyed these. super flavorful. My husband got the Baja shrimp tacos and the ribeye tacos. He thought his were okay, the shrimp were better than the ribeye. While not his favorite tacos, he did enjoy them, but will likely try something else if we come back. All in all, a great date spot and would recommend for the vibes.

    THE go to spot in Claremont for a nice lunch or dinner. the ambiance is sensual, fresh, modern, and lively. perfect for a date or catch up eorh your friends. chips and salsa is included. AHI TUNA TOSTADA: yummy! perfect for 2 people. great appetizer. tuna was good, and the spicy mayo on top of the tostada was the perfect mix of crunch and savory. ENCHILADA (chicken): very filling! comes with rice and beans. I'd get this if you like saucey food but a light flavor.

    Came on a Friday for date night. Loved the ambiance. Service was great. Our server Brian C. was very eager to serve and help us. It was kind of funny. We ordered the salsa sampler and it was amazing. I loved the uniqueness of the salsa toreado. I couldn't stop eating it, even when my mouth became on fire. The weeping salsa was also delicious, but made my mouth burn. The other two salsas were yummy and more mild. For my main meal, I got the mole enchiladas. The Mole was delicious! I wanted more, not because I was hungry, but because it tasted that good. Their margaritas were tasty as well and had, in my opinion, the right amount of alcohol. Not too strong, but not weak. Definitely recommend for drinks with friends or even a date night. The music inside is a little loud if you're wanting to talk a lot, but there is a patio outside that's quieter.

    This restaurant is part of downtown Claremont, connecting with the same plaza as Phil's Coffee. There is a tiny lot for them, but for the majority, you'd have to find street parking which is absolutely horrific in a Friday night. I've luckily found parking on the street near the entrance. Upon walking in, you'd be amazed at the decor and interior it's beautiful whether you sit inside or outside of the patio. It's dimly lit, giving a sophisticated ambiance. I've been here twice, but each time, the servers mention only being able to sit there for 2 hours. They do have a bar area which encompasses the entire building, which is nice. They have happy hour which I've had their tacos and beers. I usually get their IPAs for $6 in happy hour days (from 3 - 6 PM). Food here is decent and not too bad. Drinks are great for their prices. Chips are refillable and their salsa is always refreshing. My rating stems from service and comfortability. The servers here tend to feel disingenuous with their service. They seemed forced to smile and don't want to be doing their job. I feel uncomfortable and can't quite explain what it is. Again, I've only been here twice, but I truly never think about coming here; I only come because of work outings. If I didn't need to, I probably wouldn't step foot in this place. Besides the interior being great, nothing compels me to come here.

    La Popular is a great choice for celebrations, date night, or any occasion. I recommend going during happy hour for discounted drinks and appetizers. The atmosphere is an upscale Hispanic restaurant with enough seating for larger groups or just sit at the bar if you want to have a tasty drink and watch the game. Our server David G did an excellent job of accommodating all of our requests and made it an unforgettable experience. The ribeye taco was phenomenal and I look forward to eating here again.

    This is a very modern hip place. Definitely a place to celebrate your birthday at, or come with girlfriends to their amazing happy hour! They were playing Spanish rock when we were there along with some tasteful regatón. We appreciated that it was not too loud, we were able to talk to each other without shouting. The service was great! We sat at the bar and got to enjoy a couple HH drinks. And an appetizer while our party got there. The bartender was friendly and suggested one of the margaritas, which was a hit! Our server was a cowboys fan so that was a plus lol But seriously, she was attentive & friendly. We ordered a few appetizers an our entrees, that at the end, it was too much food. Everything we ordered was very tasty, enough and flavorful. The tortilla soup was delicious! Definitely recommend this place. It dos give "Polanco MXCD vibes"

    Food was good, service wasn't the greatest for the big party we had one server. Our server was the only person taking order, brining drinks and our plates. He seemed overwhelmed and had a little bit of attitude. Over all I loved the food and atmosphere. I would try this again.

    Carajillo, yum!! If you like Espresso Martinis, you will like this one.

    My first time experiencing La Popular and it was pretty great! This is a nice, modern restaurant located in downtown Claremont. If you are in the mood for Mexican cuisine, this is a good spot. We came here last minute on a busy Saturday afternoon and fortunately for us, we were seated right away. ( We requested outdoor table/party of five.) We started out with traditional fresh Guacamole and fresh chips. I will stress and repeat, the chips not only looked fresh but they tasted fresh! And, they were not greasy! The guacamole had a good blend of flavors, it was good! My main order was their house salad with chicken. The chicken was moist, very well seasoned and delicious! The salad had fresh chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, romaine lettuce..It's served with lime vinaigrette and yes, dressing was well balanced. I also ordered a Carajillo to drink. The best way to describe this drink is comparing it to an Espresso Martini without the Espresso. This was delicious!! I recommend trying. Our waitress and service were stellar throughout our time here which added to our experience at La Popular. With that being said, be ready to enjoy the moment, the food, the vibe, and the service. *menu price $$ *menu price with cocktails $$$ *parking can be challenging on weekends

    First and only time eating here for lunch with family. All was good! I would definitely return to dine here again. Food was a hit: guacamole and chips (freshly made, crispy & light chips), carnitas taco plate topped with pickled red onions, fish tacos (daughter said it was good), mole enchilada (SIL's favorite). Cocktails: group watermelon margarita, which is served in a pineapple shaped pitcher and shared. Pour into glasses filled with ice cubes, a touch of mint leaves and glasses are rolled in tajin for the saltiness. It was yummy. Two of us got two glasses each from it. At $38 for the pitcher seems reasonable. Decor: high ceilings that show off wooden rafters. Dark and cozy. Big bar. Big outside covered patio area too. Nice place with good food and drinks.

    Modern upscale Mexican restaurant in the heart of Claremont. Perfect place to meet friends for Drinks and a fun meal. The server started us with chips and salsa which were so good. Enchiladas with cheese were beautifully plated with the perfect sauce that compliments the enchiladas.

    La Popular is not just a clever name for this restaurant- its facts! We came here to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. I called to make a reservation a week in advance. My first interaction on the phone was pleasant and I was hyped to see how the rest of my experience at La Popular would turn out. From the start, greetings from the wait staff- we got the good welcoming smiles. We were greeted by our server, Fernando, and he was simply amazing and so attentive the whole time here. I don't know where to begin on all the items we indulged in, as we all had different plates. My daughter's gluten free (allergy) option was the fajitas plate and she loved it! I was able to get some photos before the plates were devoured. chicken tinga tacos-rice and beans (my plate), ceviche, flight of agua frescas, guacamole with chicharron, carnitas burrito, birria tacos- ALL RAVE REVIEWS - EXECELLENTE! By the way, this place has the vibes. Good music not too loud. If you inform the hostess when making a reservation, birthday celebration, they are on top of it and make the whole party feel special. My daughter was given a birthday card from the restaurant and a sparkler as we sang happy birthday. Great experience! 10/10 or for fellow Yelpers 5 Stars!

    Loved La Popular in Claremont partly for the food but also because of our server Felicia Michaela!! Came for a late lunch in May without a reservation and were able to get a spot on the patio when it wasn't too crowded. Happy hour specials were available for à la carte tacos and guacamole. There are NA mocktails which I loved. Tacos were all delicious, as well he loved the charro beans. Our server Felicia took the time to explain everything, make recommendations, and verify the kitchen got everything correct before leaving the table. She just made the experience even more enjoyable!!! Would definitely return when in Claremont!!

They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

Got a room for NYE, went out to dinner and stopped at bar at 7pm to get a dessert we read about on the elevator earlier. Bar had two table tops and 2 people at bar besides us for a total of 12 people. When we sat down the woman bartender was directly infront of us. She didn't acknowledge us and I'd noted us for at-least 10 minutes while never being more than 5 feet away from us, her bar back never acknowledged us either. Easily could have ruined the night, but since we spent so much for hotel and it was NYE we just decided to leave, not letting whatever problems they were having become our problems. I have read all the reviews for the bar and the have an incredible amount of negatives which is surprising because the hotel aspect of it was amazing. We will definitely stay at hotel again and being that there are 30 restaurants within a block we will never need to experience the bar again. I don't like to leave bad reviews and maybe she was going through something in her life that was horrible but she did have other employees that could have taken up the slack and they customers inside lounge were families with 5 of which were children so it's mot as if they were overwhelmed making mixed drinks. Don't let the Lounge and Bar take away from the actual Hotel though, that part was incredible.

The White Hokkaido is the matcha version, so instead of the coffee liquor, they use matcha, and it's delightful!

    Super fun place! Very entertaining, loud but a good vibe overall. Located in the city of Claremont,…read morePiano Piano is a dueling piano bar located right next to the Double Tree Hotel. There's plenty of parking so I don't think it would be a struggle no matter time of night. The place itself is your average Joe bar. Plenty of seating both tables and booths. They are 21+ up only! They also are reservation priority! Service was great! Our server Jared was very attentive to our party. Constantly checking on us, making sure we had everything we needed. He made sure our glasses weren't empty. He did a great job. Entertainment was awesome! The piano players are super talented, funny and lively. They had great stage presence! I really enjoyed it! Food was average bar food, but let's be real, they're not known for their food. We had the cheddar bacon curly fries and they're the type of food you want once you start drinking alcohol. So really, this place is doing its job. The food wasn't top tier but it definitely caters to crowds need. If you love a loud environment, good music, and dancing this is the place for you. Be prepared for some dark humor. But be prepared to have fun. They honor all different types of celebrations. I would definitely say check this place out and give it a shot! Tons of fun!

    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.
