La Popular reopened in September 2025, after repairs from tornado damage in 2024. I like to drop by for take-out of tamales. The atmosphere is casual, and it's quick to drop by. Service is friendly. read more

It's back open!!! I'm so happy! They really have the BEST food; im addicted to their burritos and they have the best chicharrones on fridays. Welcome back! read more

Found this bakery/ tortilla making shop driving around Rogers. Clean and well lit the pride of ownership is obvious. The bread was tasty and filling. I bought some 'cookies' and pan de huevo too. The corn tortillas and menudo were pretty good. Now the menudo was spicy hot. That was unexpected for sure. Well I didn't anticipate that at all. I was going to enjoy some white menudo with added condiments to my taste. So be aware that the dark red menudo is Spicy. Oh also I guess I forgot to ask if their to go containers included both nestamal and stomach. Only having meat and some onions and chiles were not what I had anticipated. read more

Middle of the road. I guess if you want a fast easy lunch this works. Honestly wasn't disappointed or impressed

Best tamale I've had in all my 43 years. Masa should be the gold standard for tamale makers everywhere. Fluffy, flavorful, actual perfection. Hot tortillas, salsa and friendly service too. Didn't get any pan dulce but look forward to trying it in the future. read more

This is the place to go for fresh tortillas, expansive variety of bakery items and authentic tacos. Love this place!

Amazing customer service and the best food! Best pork tamales, flour tortillas, and bread!

Great tortillas, rice, and beans! Pan dulce was good too. Will go back every time we go to NWA. read more

Very good food at reasonable prices. We can't wait to return and try something different.

Bueno, Bonito y Barato. I just paid $3.83 for 2 tamales, chips salsa and 1 churro. Clean, fresh, yummy, authentic Mexican food. My husband and I go at least once a week for their menudo, tamales, carnitas, oh and the churros are just perfection. If you have not tried it, I don't know what you are waiting for. read more

Tamales are big and cheap!! Made fresh daily! 2 of them with chips was 3 bucks Come in and enjoy some cheap goooood food that only the locals know about!! Pork tamales are the best with the red hot sauce read more

Best chile rellenos in the state! They have a clean kitchen and food prep area and they make amazing salsa and tortillas. They have a baked goods section but I think their specialty is in their lunch & dinner meals. The meal sizes are generous and you can taste the quality! read more

Definitely will be coming back to try the rest the have to offer. Great service and the waitress was exceptional. Love to come to a place like this that you no they care about what kinda food there putting out. read more

La mejor barbacoa. De verdad, toda la comida aquí es muy rica. Pan dulces y pasteles también.

I must admit I feel a bit foolish for taking so long to find Tortilleria La Popular. Their offerings are incredibly delicious and inexpensive. My family swears by El Milagro tortillas and tamales from Chicago. Well, I do believe we have found a new NWA spot to take care of our serious tamale cravings. It is very clean inside and the employees are endearing and kind. read more

Delicioso, Delicious, Sabroso, Great service and Don Jaime and his family always helping with acts of kindness to those in need. La comida súper sabrosa y excelente servicio al cliente. Y sobre todo, Don Jaime y su linda familia siempre sirviendo con actos de caridad a personas en necesidad. A blessing to our Community, una bendición para nuestra comunidad. Papa Rap read more

I went around 7 pm as I was told their tamales were some of the best. I was pleasantly surprised they also had a great selection of Mexican bakery items. A manager sitting in the lobby politely responded when I asked for an explanation of their flavors. He nicely answered every question and I picked out two for dessert. I went to the clerk at the checkout who spoke no English but was also nice. We worked out I wanted three tamales, one pork, one cheese, and one chicken. She retrieved them and was back in a minute and gave me a hot sauce and a really hot sauce to go. The price was $5 for everything! The tamales and the the baked goods were great. Unbelievable flavor where most tamales have none. I will go back! read more

The food was absolutely delicious the service was splendid the people were so nice and they have handed this COVID situation beautifully.

They don't serve food all day. So call ahead. Everything is So good and fresh. Always get their tacos! Yummy. And that soup is still so good! Authentic! My family's go to place for Mexican food. read more

This place is incredible. Waited till after my 3rd visit to post a review to be sure I was getting a good statistical sample(n=3)! Have not had this awesome authentic Mexican food since my last trip to Cabo! The Gorditas are amazing, and the barbacoa tacos are crazy good! No Tex-Mex here. Taco Bell fans, move along! The pastry section and fresh chips, tortillas and salsas are out of this world! People are awesome here and super friendly. One young lady went so far as to walk us through the pastry aisle and point out her favorites! Nice touch! Consider me a regular! read more

This little place is quite a gem in Rogers. Fresh tortillas, tamales and bread are made here daily. The people who run it are always very friendly and I am truly surprised it has not been added to Yelp as I have been coming here for about 5 years. If you have never had a fresh, warm, corn tortilla you are absolutely missing out. You can enjoy it on its own, you can have it with some butter, you can eat it with your favorite Mexican food. No store-bought preservative-filled tortilla can ever compare to what they have here at Tortilleria & Bakery La Popular. The first time I drove by this place I had to stop and come in. Lo' and behold they have an authentic corn tortilla machine. It's like I was taken back to my childhood; spending summers with my Grandmother in Mexico and walking up the hill every morning to the tortilleria to buy a fresh kilo of toritllas for the day. The look, the smell, the sound of the tortilla machine was exactly the same... you CAN'T get more authentic than that! You order your tortillas by the kilo, and they give them to you wrapped and so warm that you want to unwrap them and shove a whole tortilla in your mouth right then and there -- but you stop yourself because you may frighten the person behind the register. On top of that, the tortillas are super cheap! Don't stop there though! With all that awesome corn masa that they produce for their tortillas, they also make fresh tamales! I have tried a couple of flavors and they are delicious. I have ordered an extra dozen and frozen them for a later time. They sell food... entire dinners with beans and rice that you can take home and feed your family with. They sell home-made flour tortillas too, which are yummy. Their selection of fresh salsas are also delicious. These are not your typical tomato-y chip and salsa types, though. These salsas are made with dried chiles and they are the kind you top on your food for that extra spice. They also make some Aguas Frescas, but their selection varies. Another thing you notice all over the place is their bread. Mexican sweet bread to fill your hearts desire for something delicious to dunk into your coffee in the morning. I can go on and on about this place, but it will only make sense once you visit! Quick tip: If you are paying with your credit/debit card, they would prefer that it is a purchase over $10, so bring cash if you are making a small purchase. read more

This is my most favorite Mexican place to buy the best sweet bread or the flour tortillas And the 3 leches is always on the point. Food there is excellent no matter what u pick. Tamales are full of meat . Love this place read more

Ok, so I'm from San Diego and have lived in Hawaii for the last 34 years... my high school girlfriend lives in Bentonville... I came to visit and she said, "I found the BEST place to eat Mexi June." She was right. Not only are they a bakery with authentic pastries, the lunch special we ordered was priced right and DELICIOUS! 2 tacos - carnitas, beans were flavorful and rice as seasoned perfectly, hot and moist for $4.99. For a moment we both wished we had remember more Spanish from our college days, lol... just so we could talk more with the cashier with ease. Like the regulars that came in like a steady flowing stream. Her english was fine, but it would have been cool to really connect with her. I want to go back and I'm leaving tomorrow. Bonus... if you need fresh tortillas, this is the place. We are grateful to be eating homemade quesadillas with their salsa we bought right now! It's located in a strip mall with free parking directly out front. read more

The menudo is really good. Its very satisfying. No gamy smell or taste at all. The lengua burrito is also delicious and cheap. If you dont mind dining with the locals in a hole in a wall type of resto, try to experience this place. I got different type of mexican bread and delicacy also. read more

La Popular NWA - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

La Popular has some of the best tacos and salsas in NWA. All of the meats are delicious and the tamales, too. I recommend stopping by on a Friday afternoon to get yourself a large container of salsa verde from the fridge and a bag of their fresh chips for the weekend, and a big horchata to go. You can also buy meat in bulk to craft your carne asada at home. read more

Very clean and well-lit. A LARGE variety of baked goods. You can buy fresh tortillas or ask for even fresher tortillas at the counter. Quality food, good prices, friendly and fast service. Eat in or take out. I'll be going back! read more

Outstanding service! Recently had 200 tortillas made! They where fresh and hot when I picked up. The guest at the wedding loved them! The bakery items looked amazing. Will be returning for some of those goodies! read more

Well I was the only one in there and they managed to give me someone else's food, thus the four star. I'm looking forward to trying the chili rellanos and asada tacos I ordered! Lol! Fortunately I'm adventurous and the lingua tacos and tamales I got were amazing. I'm pretty sure I paid about twice what that meal cost. Great food but make sure you get what you ordered. read more

My sister and I just stopped in for a quick lunch on the way to the airport. Great tortillas and chili rellenos! Great customer service too! We each bought tortillas to take home! Yummy! read more

This place warms my heart...and my tummy...and then adds digits to my jean's size. Seriously, the best tamales outside of East L.A. and that's that. If you're headed home with no idea what to have for dinner, stop in and get a dozen tamales. They even have mole! I have yet to have something I was disappointed in. They're cookin' with LOVE here people! The only thing that trumps the food are the prices (shhh...it's a secret and I hope they don't catch on.) Oh, and their baked goods are top notch. read more

As a native south Texan, I went here every Saturday for 3 years to get my Border region Mexican fix. Excellent food, amazing Hispanic bakery, awesome tortillas. The best in NWA. read more

Ordered one pound barbacoa and one pound carnitas. I was not disappointed! Reasonably priced and delicious. The place was packed!

I love this place. It is my go to place to pick up sweet Mexican Baked goods and pastries for the office. Their lunch menu is simple, quick to pick up, and go or sit and enjoy. Fresh tortillas made right in front of you. The place is always clean. The owners are pleasant. Don't miss out on authentic Mexican food at one of the best hidden restaurants in NWA. read more

This is a hidden gem. Not much to look at but this is the best Mexican food at any price point! Their tacos are heaven sent and they make menudo like my grandmother's! I work close by and have spread the word throughout my building. I've made believers out of many coworkers that would never have given the place a chance. read more

I got beef tacos and pork tamales. Great prices and the food tasted just as great! I was too full to try the pastries but they looked delicious. read more

I have been going to this bakery for several years recently I went to get my normal selection of wonderful bakery goods and 3 tamales. The new clerk working there forgot to put my tamales in my bag. I came back inside to tell her. She asked for a receipt that was not given to me. Needless to say. I had just stepped out to my car and come back in. She refused to give me the 3 tamales I had ordered and paid for and treated me like a criminal for asking. This was 2 months ago and I have not been back. After giving this bakery business for 3 years I refuse to go back and be treated unfairly and poorly. I an looking forward to the large bakery that is being opened across the street. They will get all my future business . I hope the owner sees this review and carefully considers who is working the counter. There are new businesses opening all over who desperately want our business read more

Some of the best pastries on the planet the only thing we ate besides the donuts was tacos and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back I would drive there from Joplin just for one of their donuts read more
