I went to Popojitos for my birthday dinner, and it completely lived up to the hype! First of all, for my gluten-free girlies... the ENTIRE menu is gluten-free! Yes, you read that right. It was such a treat to be able to order anything on the menu without worrying, and honestly, there were so many things I wanted to try that I'll definitely be back. I started with a classic margarita, which was delicious!! not overly sweet, just the way I like it. The cocktail menu was also huge, so there's something for everyone. For appetizers, we shared the guacamole, which was a generous portion for two people, the stuffed dates, which were the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the hand-rolled mozzarella sticks. Those mozzarella sticks were hands down my favorite dish of the night! For my entrée, I had the pulled pork quesadilla, and my husband ordered the three tacos. The ambiance was another highlight, such a cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. I would absolutely recommend Popojitos, even if you just go to order a bunch of appetizers and cocktails. I already can't wait to go back because there are still so many dishes on the menu I want to try! read more

We wanted to thank you for providing us with a truly exceptional experience this weekend. You helped us cater a Father's Day lunch for 17 people with various food sensitivities: two of us have Celiac disease, one can't eat onions, and several others are lactose intolerant. The ability to be able to eat together and NOT have to worry about ingredients was truly a gift! We were able to enjoy your delicious food and relax together. The entire process for ordering the food - working with Josh and the team - was also top notch. We really appreciated the follow up calls to confirm the order and clarify specifically how items would be packed and separated. We also want to call out to the cooks in the kitchen - the food was excellent and we received many compliments. You have a few new customers definitely coming your way! Lastly we want to thank your owners and managers. We are so grateful that you are vested in a fully gluten free restaurant that understands the importance of food sensitivities. It's important to our community and you are setting the foundation for the future of food service. Keep up the good work! read more

Perfect midpoint to meet my son who has celiac disease who lives in New York City as we are in Northern Westchester. He took the train up. We drove down. Totally gluten-free restaurant with many fresh options. At times it's almost difficult to choose what delights. We started with the guacamole and the ceviche, which had a wonderful flavor. Then we each ordered our desired tacos from mahi, chicken, chicken barbecue and beef. They were all flavorful and fresh. Two of us had classic margaritas and they were great. Fun spacious and comfortable interior to enjoy. Service was most attentive and spirited and at the same time we were able to relax talk and catch up. We will be back you can count on that. read more

Ok let me say first that I have been to this place a few times and never been wowed but was satisfied. I went back last night and was disappointed. First the positives, the ordering process and menu were easily accessible. When we arrived at the restaurant to pick up, the food was ready. The host was very nice and the inside of the restaurant was very nice! Now for the not so great, the food. I ordered the steak chimichangas, the portion size was good but nothing came with it, no salsa , no guacamole, no pico de gallo. The taste was pretty basic. Not really flavorful. My husband ordered the quesadillas, he said they were bland. The burrito bowl was the best item ordered. There was plenty of guacamole and pico de gallo. I think they need to work on the flavors . Sadly I won't be back read more

We loved everything about this meal-- the food was AMAZING, even our pickiest family member loved it. Delicious house made salsas, tasty nachos, mahi burrito, and so much more. Strong margaritas that did not taste like they were from a mix, because they weren't. Great place to celebrate a birthday. They even gave us a dessert on the house! Excellent service and fun ambience. We already plan to return. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. Words do not give this review justice. Came here to celebrate my pre-birthday and the food was DELICIOUS. The service was amazing. The staff made us feel at home and the vibes were immaculate. We had such a great experience here. We will definitely be coming back. Please go here!!!! You will not regret it. read more

Drove up to Scarsdale for a friend's birthday - he is GF and was craving Mexican so we came across this restaurant! We walked in and were seated shortly after! The place is small itself but cozy. A few minutes after we sat, one of the waiters dropped a glass and it cracked all over the floor / table we were sitting at. It was quickly cleaned up, only to find more & more pieces under our feet. I sadly came straight from work & was in open toed heels which made me even more upset! My friend & I cleaned up some remainders and luckily the table next to us checked in & helped. The waiters didn't really seem to care much, the host made a joke about our appetizer coming soon to make up for it, I assumed it'd be on the house or something would be offered in order to accommodate the event that just occurred; however it was like nothing had happened. The nachos were okay - thought it was weird to be charged extra for guac that was initiated by the waiter. The main courses were ok... a bit flavorless .. my friend got the salmon and I ordered fajitas - it was bland to say the least but I was hangry from work & tried to pick the protein out. Prices are higher than your typical Mexican restaurant but the quality is very average. All in all, I probably would not come here again. read more

Wanted to give a huge shout out to the manager Josh, today I wanted to place an order for my nurses at montefiore. It was a call about 6:30 pm, understood that it's cinco de Mayo. Because when I called the hostess seemed very overwhelmed, she couldn't take a minute to understand, what I wanted to order for the following day. The first time she hangs up the phone, when I called back she tells me that she cannot take my order today. That I needed to call the next day to place my order. I expressed to her that this food order was to be sent to my nurses for tomorrow because it was nurses week. She proceeded to say, well you're gonna have to order it by DoorDash. I said ok if this an issue please take the order and I'll pick it. She gets a little upset and says I'm putting the manager on, as she's handing him the phone I hear her say to him "she's being difficult ". Thank you God for Josh!!! I did mentioned to him I heard what she said, he was so apologetic and was immediately ready to help me in every way possible. And I understand that it was crazy busy, so he gave me two options either he can take the order now or he promised to call me at 9:30 pm that night. He was so humble and honest I said ok, well again a professional needed to take over because he called me at 8:30 pm apologize again for calling me an hour early. Well Mr. Josh took my order in 10 minutes we were done. And this is why I will give this business a five star rating for Josh knows about customer service and genuinely cares. I will continue to support this business and my food is on it's way to my nurses at the hospital. Again thank Josh for your service. read more

Not sure what to think of this place. I was expecting high prices because of its location, but the food misses the mark. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The indoor space is nice and looks like they have outdoor seating for warmer weather. We ordered yuca fries, mahi mahi tacos, quesadillas and a fajita (chicken and shrimp). The fajita was good, big portion and plenty of veggies. The tacos had no flavor, same for quesadilla. The yuca fries were ok, the sauce is what had the flavor. The place dubs itself as Mediterranean-Mexican. Didnt try any of the medi dishes, but i would say the Mexican dishes are more tex-mex. Their websites states that the food is locally source, wild caught fish, etc... thats a big plus. However, for $6 per taco I expect more from my food. read more

Amazing food, service, and ambiance! The calamari is phenomenal!! An entire gluten free restaurant with incredible quality food including dessert is a dream come true! I can't get over how good this food is! If only they had more locations! read more

This Med-Mex (Mediterranean/Mexican) place misses the mark when it comes to Mediterranean. This place is 100% Mexican. The only Mediterranean items would be the octopus. I think this place would do much better as 100% Mexican. All the happy hours are Mexican (Margarita Monday, taco Tuesday, sangria Wednesdays). The tacos are good but could be better. The meat in the tacos could be cut in bigger pieces in order to hold more flavor. I thought the carne asada tacos were cut too small which let all the juices flow out of the meat. 3/5 The chimichurri skirt steak was a 3 but could have been a 4 if they let their meat rest and cut the steak much later. The steak was missing the juices which spilled out onto the plate because the meat didn't rest like it's supposed to. Our server was fabulous. Service 5/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Food 3/5 read more

My husband and I ate at this place last week and the pico de gallo and chips are delicious!!! I did not enjoy my chicken fajita because it was too dry and I didn't care for the Greek seasoning they used on the meat. Also, I don't like corn tortillas and that was all they had. Had I known that I never would have ordered the dish. When I asked the waiter if I could get flour tortillas he said we are a 100% gluten free restaurant. So, that will be the main reason why I won't go back because my doctor told me to stay away from gluten free products because of my autoimmune disorders. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his food and said he is definitely going back. I told him to bring some pico de gallo back for me. lol read more

Loved it here! I was in the area and was looking for a new dinner spot. We wanted to try some different tacos. I was pleasantly surprised by PopoJito's. I had hot tea and the calamari and short rib tacos. We also ordered the guacamole. Everything we ordered was very fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was pretty quiet; we went on a holiday. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back to try more of their tacos! read more

Great spot for a weekend lunch. There are some spots outside on the sidewalk, and that was delightful for me and my family. The menu is surprisingly large! It was hard to choose. I ended up getting a salad, which was fresh but seemed a little heavy on the lettuce vs. mixings. I greatly appreciated the kid menu, which was reasonably priced and fulfilling. Next time, I'll definitely snag a drink. The drink menu was ample and appealing. Fast service and nice waiters! read more

100% gluten-free with amazing food and service. Making it a point to stop back whenever I'm nearby.

Food is always fresh and amazing staff! Bacon wrapped dates are hands down to die for!

I have gotten delivery before which was delicious but decided to go dine in this time around. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. It was so nice to have a full menu to pick from that is gluten free, even dessert options. The mozzarella sticks were some of the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had, super fresh & flavorful, also really large. 10/10 cheese pulls. The beef empanadas were also super yummy and had a nice aioli sauce to dip them in. I opted for a burrito for the main and got the cookie skillet for dessert, both were immaculate. I will be dreaming about this meal and cannot wait to return. read more

I went for lunch this past Sunday with my wife and son, who has celiac and only eats gluten free. We had a very good overall experience. The service was excellent and friendly. I'm really not a fan of gluten free cooking because it sometimes lacks flavor but, I enjoyed the food very much. My wife and son did so as well. My only negative is to the gluten free tortillas that come with the fajitas are not as good as flour ones but, no biggie. If you like Mexican food and are gluten intolerant, I highly recommend. read more

This is a me simple test. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always ask myself, "Would I return to this establishment?" The answer to PopoJito is that I would definitely comeback. The flavors to all the entrees were awesome. The food was fresh. This is gluten free restaurant. And I have to say that any flour dishes were not missing. We came for my daughter's birthday and her diet must be gluten free. The plates were so tasty, that you wouldn't even notice that it was flour free. Kudos!!! read more

I order often from Popojito but it's always nice to sit and dine there . The staff is always super nice and the restaurant itself has a nice chill vibe . The food is always tasty , and though might be a bit pricey in comparison to places in the area , I will say that I have never been sick or felt "gross" after eating from there so there is something to be said about the price and reflection of the quality they use! Sometimes the quality or presentation of things have been inconsistent but I just chalk it up that it can just be an off day in the kitchen . Drinks are also not the strongest and this is coming from someone who barely drinks ! read more

This place is fantastic! From the service, to the food options, to the drinks options, to the ambiance -- 10/10 surely recommend. I had a girls lunch with friends, and we all enjoyed our selves. My favorite was the guava margarita! Delish! Also has outdoor seating for the warm weather approaching. read more

Loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was good, the service great and the food was amazing. I ordered 3 tacos, steak, octopus and mahi, all were delicious with ample portions. I didn't know how big they would be so, I ordered some rice and beans to go with it, but I did not need them as the 3 tacos was plenty. My date had the shrimp and steak fajitas, it was a very big portion and also delicious. Can't wait to go back !! read more

Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food is excellent and super fresh. I have been there dozens of times and the staff is always friendly, efficient and caring. For Gluten intolerant people, this place is worth a long drive! read more

My wife and I made the trip down (about 30 minutes) to experience this 100% gluten-free restaurant. Neither of us have celiac disease, but we both have auto-immune disorders that are inflamed by gluten, so going without it has become a lifestyle that promotes good health for us. It's a surprisingly small dining room, though there is outdoor seating for those who like such things. We requested indoor seating. Our waiter was friendly, competent, and helpful. If you're used to Mexican restaurants providing complementary chips and salsa, you may be disappointed. They don't do that. You can get chips and salsa, but you have to order it as a paid appetizer. We passed. Instead, we ordered their fried calamari with aioli. Outstanding. You could not tell the difference between this and any fried calamari made with gluten. I also ordered a gluten-free beer. I didn't have high hopes because a friend had told me that they're awful. This one, Glutenberg IPA, was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised. I do enjoy a cold beer on a hot day, and now I can do so again. My wife ordered the red sangria, which I also tried. It was good, but nothing you wouldn't get anywhere else. Our entrees were fish and chips for me and steak chimichurri for my wife. She raved about the tenderness and flavor of the steak and the mashed potatoes and asparagus that came with it. My fish was very tender. The breading was good. the fries were average. Overall, I was very satisfied. The portions were also fair. In addition, we got a side of fried plantains. They made them well, without the greasiness that often accompanies the dish at many restaurants. For dessert, we broke our usual rule of sharing one and instead ordered two. This was a mistake because it left me feeling overstuffed, but the selections were fantastic, both recommended by our waiter who told us that they're his favorites. One was a special, peanut butter chocolate pie. The other was strawberry cheesecake. So good that it was worth the mild stomachache later. Prices are probably in line with what you see out there these days. Everything in dining out has increased appreciably, so no specific complaints about this place. I had to park a couple of blocks away. There's a lot adjacent to the restaurant, but it's exclusively for the supermarket. The public garage across the street said that parking was only available until 6pm. Honestly, it wasn't a big deal on such a beautiful night, and I got the impression that some kind of event was going on nearby, so you might find much closer parking on your visit. It was, after all, a Saturday. You can bring your gluten eating friends here and they won't feel at all deprived. And if you're gluten-free, you will feel very much at ease. I would enthusiastically recommend Popojito and plan on returning. read more

Amazing this place is a safe haven for gluten free folks. Good service & drinks were bomb.

Just had a lovely meal here tonight where we sat outside and had wonderful service from Josh and other staff. The food was very tasty with some unusual combinations that worked really well. The loaded nachos with black beans and short rib were outstanding, the yuca fries the crispiest we've ever tried and the street corn was fabulous. The stuffed dates special should be added to the menu! The tacos were good and the churro sundae very tasty, not too sweet and was a perfect end to our meal. read more

My friend and I came right when they opened on a Saturday. It was the first day of spring, and according to their social media accounts there was outdoor seating. We ended up eating indoors (To clarify: this wasn't an issue, we just didn't want to miss having time in the sun!). We were the first ones there, though a couple came in maybe an hour after. Many people came to pickup food as well. Regarding Covid, everything seemed up to par with cleanliness. The servers were all but polite and answered any menu questions we had. To start, we ordered guacamole and chips to share. This is a must to order! For my entree I had the burrito bowl with shrimp. This also came with a ton of guacamole and avocado crema (vegan!) *Note, you can never have enough avocado!! I will definitely be returning, probably to do takeout! read more

HOW Is This Place Still In Business? Gluten free Mexican is enough of a joke (and a gimmick) but the food you serve should at least be boldly seasoned. EVERYTHING we had was bland. Manager has an attitude. I have news for you: This isn't fine dining restaurant, get over yourselves and get a Chef. read more

First off I'll start by saying how I appreciate that this place is 100% gluten free. It takes alot of work to make sure of that and I'm glad they do, that's what attracted me to here as my wife maintains a gluten free diet. But honestly gluten free or not this place is great! The space and ambiance is nice and comfortable, there is a rustic feel and look. The staff is nice and helpful. Their menu has everything from appetizers, tacos, burritos, bowls, salads, etc. For a starter we had yuca fries that came with chipotle aioli dipping sauce, for entree my wife had the chicken enchiladas that came with salad and rice, it comes with a mole sauce or a salsa verde sauce but the server was nice enough to put both on the side because she was unsure of which she would like. I had the ranchers bowl which had rice and beans, flank steak, tomato, red onion and fried yuca, it had an avocado sauce which came with it. All the food here was amazing here, the yuca fries were crispy, the ranchers bowl had amazing flavor and was very filling, the enchiladas and both sauces were tasty, they also sell their in house hot sauce on sight which is worth checking out. Finally we had the churro dessert which was great too which some whipped cream and chocolate sauce. They also have the option to pay via QR code which I always appreciate. This place is great and I will surely return. read more

The food, service, and ambiance was all amazing! We showed up without a reservation. The hostess immediately booked us and advised us it would be about 40 minutes; ended up being about 15! Our server was super attentive; and super nice. The food was absolutely delicious! It was so nice to be able to enjoy a full course meal without worrying about my son having a reaction. My son had a steak burrito; it was huge! And he loved it! He is a eater; but this actually filled him! My husband had the chimichurri skirt steak, the steak was yummy and tender and the mashed potatoes and asparagus was so good! I had the honey chicken special; the rice was a little plain; fully cooked, but once mixed in with the tangy, spicy, saucy chicken, it was delicious! We ordered a side of Mexican street corn and boy was it good, and a lot! Enough for 4 people to enjoy! For dessert; we had churros with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. The team sang happy birthday to my son and gifted him the churros. Overall experience was amazing and we will be back! read more

If you're ever in the Scarsdale area, Popojito is a cute lunch spot that I definitely would recommend. All of its items are Gluten free, freshly created and it's industrial-ish aesthetic is truly welcoming. The Lettuce wrap tacos are my favs as well as The stuffed poblano pepper (a little pricey) and the Oaxaca chicken soup (spicy) ! The only reason why I didn't give this place 5 stars is because EVERY TIME I order the lettuce wraps (usually, multiple orders for multiple ppl) they ALWAYS MIX everyone's taco wraps together. It makes it kinda annoying to physically separate your wraps due to them not being created the way the order is placed. read more

This place is DELICIOUS and 100% gluten free, celiac friendly, and located in am adorable part of Scarsdale. It's clean, has trendy decor, and very friendly and attentive staff. The drinks are poured generously, and the flavors are spot on. The appetizers and starters had us ooo-ing and ahhh-ing. But, the reason I took off a star is because their entrees are nothin to write home about. We had enchiladas and an array of seafood tacos and they were just "meh." Next time I think we'll just order appetizers and starters and treat it like a small dish variety meal. All in all, I recommend you visit PopoJito (especially for the calamari Mexicano). read more

Nestled in the heart of Scarsdale, this restaurant always amazing. Love the signature sizzling fajitas. Tender strips of marinated steak along side jumbo yummy shrimp. This dish is grilled with a medley of colorful and delicious bell peppers and onions. MMMM the fajitas are served with warm tortillas, guacamole and sour cream. The ingredients were clearly fresh and of high quality!!! Perhaps one of these days I will venture into another menu choice but for now serve me those DELECTABLE fajitas!! Don't forget to enjoy a refreshing margarita!!! If you have room opt for one of their unique amazing desserts! Be sure to enjoy the outside seating as well! Did I forget to mention the great service and the owner was extremely attentive making sure his customers felt welcomed and satisfied. SEE YOU SOON POPOJITO!!! read more

Food has a Mexican influence, but that's it. Service was fine, food was edible, but you'll leave disappointed. Portions are miniscule. 2 bite Tacos, one scoop guacamole, tiny bowl picó de gallo, etc. If you go hungry, forget it; you'll get a second lunch at the supermarket next door. read more

Ordered delivery and food came really well packaged (best packaged tacos I've ever seen) and fresh. Food quality seemed good, and I'd order again, but I tried six types of tacos and thought they were all pretty bland. I tried the mahi mahi, salmon, cod, braised short rib, carne asada, and ground beef. Braised short rib was the best of the bunch and I definitely preferred all of the beef tacos to the fish (which were the most bland). Quesadillas came in a crunchy-ish tortilla, which consistency I didn't care for, but the cheese inside the quesadilla was really good. Sweet potato fries and chili with braised beef were my favorites. Chips with guacamole were really good. read more

Ok, my wife and I live around here so we decided to try it out. I came here for 1 main reasons, their Octopus . Remember, the Octopus is the restaurant's mascot and symbol. When we arrived there, staff was friendly, warm and attentive. Their sangria was to die for. There was one major problem. They had no Octopus. Hmm , isn't that their specialty? I wound up ordering tacos which weren't bad, but, I'll have to go out of my way and inquire about Octopus before I ever make reservations again. read more
