    Pork Carnitas tacos. 27.02.2025
    Trisha W.

    3.5 Our first visit here was marvelous. Delicious food, good drinks, wonderful service. It was weird that the server we had was wonderful. She was attentive and kind. Then as the check was being placed, some dude comes over and tells us he is our server and asks if we need anything else. That was strange. He took all the credit for her hard work. Now our second visit was not marvelous. Drinks took forever. Even though we ordered the same drink, all three tasted like a different drink. The server even came to us asking if they were made properly because the bartender asked her to. It was odd. Food was slow as well, waiting 35+ minutes for arrival. Between slow drinks and food, we were not happy with the second visit. 10.11.2025

    Steak taco

    Enjoyed dinner at this strip mall restaurant. It's pretty big inside & decorated very nicely with many colorful "Day of the Dead" pics & nice booths & chairs. We sat at our usual spot - at the bar! We enjoyed $13 Don Julio Reposed drinks while enjoying the chips & salsa. They have 3 kinds of salsa you can enjoy with the chips - mild, spicy red, spicy green. The green was my favorites - so flavorful! For dinner I had a steak taco for $4.50 - yes - you can order just 1 or 2 if you like - I didn't want a whole dinner. My husband had the chicken fajitas - delish! I had some too. Service was great but it was kind of quiet in there. Go check it out - the food is excellent & not fake Mexican!

    A GREAT MEAL

    Awesome food and service. The happy hour is incredible. Jesus & Ceci are great bartenders.

    Still great! We eat here a few times a month. Atmosphere is so cool and the food is always consistent. Servers have been there awhile and all do a great job!

    Honestly the best Mexican food in town that I've found! The table side guac is incredible, fresh and flavorful. Our service was on the slower side this evening, our whole dinner lasted almost two hours for a party of four. However they were quite busy for a Friday evening. Regardless, the food is great and I would be happy to come back for more!

    I wish we had discovered this place sooner! We will definitely be back! We loved the decor and the booth was super comfortable. Started off with chips and salsa. Our party of 3 enjoyed the macho burrito and (from the specials menu) pollo Jalisco and enchiladas suizas. Portions were generous and the food was super fresh. Service was top notch and our server made us feel like he catered to us exclusively. We got to enjoy happy hour beer specials as well. Restrooms were also exceptionally clean. We cannot wait to visit this awesome restaurant again soon!

    From the outside this restaurant looks boring, inside its a hopping lively place with a bar and tables on each side. Large groups can easily be accommodated. Guacamole was made tableside by a young lady, it was not exciting, basically she cut 2 avocados and smashed them in a bowl and added some condiments and that was it, no interaction at all. Food was fresh and favorable. We recommend the birria tacos and shrimp fajitas. The side of beans come in a fried tortilla bowl. The side of rice comes in a metal bowl. Each table gets comp chip and hot sauce. Definitely a great place to hang with friends and family.

    Absolutely delicious! The food was incredibly fresh and scrumptious. These two dishes together are the magic duo. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a bonus in my book. I ordered Mexican coke to drink which hits perfectly with the food. The ambiance is chill, I'd recommend asking for a booth. Our server was attentive and accommodating. 10/10 experience.

    The staff is so incredibly amazing and professional. They offered me fast exceptional service, and went above and beyond to get me what I needed. (Dietary restrictions) The food was fantastic. No abundance of grease, and it was cooked perfectly. Very tasty, and fresh. I did not have to wait long either. The ambiance is very inviting. Nice large bar and tons of seating for parties and such. Easy highway access, and plenty of parking. Average prices. All in all, extremely happy!!

    Molcajete Ranchero, delicious!

    BEST service tonight! Adriana was so friendly and helpful. Hopefully we will always sit in her section!! Superb service, Thank you! The food as always is fresh and delicious!! Our go to spot!!

    Shrimp quesadilla
    Bobbi H.

    Went early on a Sunday evening before it got busy. Restaurant is clean and bright. Chips and salsa were brought right away and drink order was taken immediately. Food order took a bit longer as we had already eaten our chips. We asked for more chips and it took a long time and a 2nd request. Food also took awhile to come and my order was wrong. I think a manager was the one to deliver our food (came in 2 separate trips) and there was no apology for the wrong order other than he said he'd go check. By the time I received my food the rest of my party of 4 had almost finished. Our waitress apologized when she finally brought my food but no other accommodations were made. Food was good. We had 2 who ordered the shrimp quesadilla, one 2 tacos and the other shrimp enchiladas. With many options in the area to choose from, while good food, I've had Mexican as good other places with better service and based on other reviews the service has been mediocre at best. Nice place, just needs staff training.

The food took a good bit of time, but everyone was hustling. My cuban was just OK. It was kind of thin and had little substance. The fries were very bland. Lots of salt and ketchup didn't help much. I only had a few and left the rest, which is unusual for me. Pricing was OK. I'd check out the many other options nearby.

My husband, on this visit, ordered his usual favorite: banana pancakes. There was light fluffy, and tasty as always. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat, with a side of potato salad. Their potato salad has a mustard and mayo dressing, and is delicious! The chicken salad was good--but lacked a bit of seasoning. In the past, I have gotten their burger, which I think I would order again as I really loved the burger. On my next visit, I plan to arrive at breakfast time, and I will try the oatmeal for breakfast, along with a side of their homemade corn beef hash. Maybe I will even treat myself to a grilled homemade cinnamon roll! Keep in mind that this is a breakfast and lunch place only. They close at 2 PM.

Other tables were seated after us and we saw their servers greet them and bring waters immediately. I ordered a sandwich with no tomatoes. I have a few food allergies so I'm used to double checking my food. The plate comes out and it looks fine. No tomatoes. Opened the sandwich and it was clear that tomatoes had originally been put in the sandwich and then taken out before coming to the table. There were tomato pieces/seeds left on the meat of the sandwich. I did not eat the sandwich after seeing that. I told both the server and the host as we left the restaurant. We paid full price and were given a quick "I'm sorry." I wasn't looking for a refund or for the sandwich to be remade. I didn't trust the kitchen at that point. Just a heads up to anyone who dines here with ingredient restrictions. Slow service and careless mistakes.

Last Sunday I wasn't feeling well and needed some good old-fashioned homemade comfort food, and meatloaf sounded good to me. It was 1PM and my first choice restaurant was closed so I rolled the dice on Popi's since it was across the street. My server was pleasant enough, but the meatloaf was really flavorless, burnt in spots and drowning in a tomatoey gravy, not the brown gravy on the menu. The mashed potatoes had a thin crust on them and were actually chewy (who does that?), the Italian green beans were OK but unexpectedly had cut carrots and celery mixed in. Honestly, the sweet tea was the best part of the meal... Sad, but probably my last time...

We stopped in around 9:00 on December 24th, 2024. There was a good crowd but a few tables were still available (by the time we left it was almost completely full). It has a classic diner vibe, and was nicely decorated for the holidays. I ordered the corned beef hash with two eggs over-easy, home fries, and their homemade biscuits. It might sound like a lot of food, but I tend to work up an appetite during the holidays. Everything was delicious; especially the homemade biscuits! My wife loved the Hawaiian Omelette and grilled biscuits. Make sure to get the biscuits grilled, it takes them to a whole other level. My father-in-law got the Eggs Benedict. He must have enjoyed it because he cleaned his plate! They have a coffee bar featuring a wide variety of options including Cappuccino and Lattes. They also offer smoothies. Popi's is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Next time I want to try lunch or dinner options. Service is friendly and quick; and prices are reasonable for what you get. Can't wait for my next visit.
