The male owner was alright but not as friendly and extending as the female owner. There was no ambience as there were only three tables in the entire restaurant. I had the chicken chimichangas and it was decent; however, the chicken was cubed and hard and tasted like it was leftover from Chipotle's. Typically, the chicken in chimichangas is shredded and fresh. It wasn't here and I didn't like that it tasted processed and not fresh. The guacamole was absolutely delicious. My husband had the chicken quesadilla and my granddaughter and her boyfriend had shredded beef tacos which they said were tasty as well. The salsa was watery and the chips were fried too hard.

I am so happy this place opened up the street from me, these were the perfect Colombian empanadas…read more So beautifully balanced with their flavors. And I loved the yuca too. The only issue I really had was that the guacamole was overwhelmed by lime juice but I'll be back to try it again to see if that was a one time fluke. definitely want to try the guava and cheese and spinach and cheese too next time. I think my favorite was the beef one but I really liked all of them! The yucas fritas were sooooooo good.

Taste the Rainbow! A new empanada place has opened on Halstead Ave and we had to try it for lunch…read more The empanadas are Colombian style with the crust made from corn meal and baked. There is a big variety of fillings to choose from ($3.75 ea) or you can mix and match them for 1/2 dozen ($22) and whole dozen ($40) boxes. We gathered orders in the office and put in an order for 3 dozen (There is a 3.5% credit card charge). Parking on Halstead was easy and so was pick up. The very nice lady proudly presented our empanadas to us, packed our boxes in bags and loaded us up with dipping sauces. Each flavor empanada is color coded, so we were able to sort them out for each person's order. The coloring is natural, so you don't have to be worried about artificial dyes. Empanadas: Beef (Carne) - Red (Rojo) Chicken (Pollo) - Yellow (Amarillia) Mango Pork (Cerdo con Mango) - Black (Negro) Guava & Cheese - Pink (Rosada) Spinach & Cheese - Green (Verde) Chorizo & Cheese - Purple (Morado) Blueberry Goat Cheese - Black / White (Negro y Blanca) Vegan Black Bean & Sweet Bell Pepper (Frijol Negro) - Orange (Naranja) Vegan Chorizo & Sweet Potato (Chorizo Vegano) - Purple / White (Morado/Negra) Vegan Beef & Plantain (Mofango Vegano) - Red / White We were given 3 dipping sauces: Signature Hot Sauce (Orange) Cilantro Lime Crema (Light Green) Grilled Tomatillo (Green) My favorite is the spicy orange sauce, but other people said it was too hot, but perfect for me. It paired very well with Beef & Chicken, but was excellent with the Chorizo & Cheese. There are other menu items like Arepas con Queso, Tostones, Maduros & Yuca Fries to try, but 3 empanadas for lunch was plenty and I'm taking 3 home for my familia to try.

DISCRIMINATORY MAN ASKED ME TO PAY UPFRONT ON Thursday AUGUST 7th, 2025 at 10:45 Pm…read more Note: I've been there three times and I just picked up Tamales at the counter . This would be the first time I would sit down to eat in . Male: worker / manager supervisor or owner? approached me after I had ordered to eat in and sat down ( he's middle aged , big built , black hair , black mustache & wore Glasses w/black frames). Male Comes up-to me where I'm sitting and says, " You Have to pay now ". I ask: Oh, is the register closing ? He says: NO. But YOU have to pay up front otherwise I won't make the food. I ask: why? He says: ( hemming and hawing ) uhhh..( he mutters )you don't speak Spanish and I know that you won't pay. You have to pay now or we are not going to prepare the food . I ask again: what? Why? He says : I just told you we won't serve you unless you pay first. I know you wont pay". And he walks away. By now all the other customers have turned around and sone were whispering or shaking their heads and looking at me like I was sone kind of outcast or criminal . I get up and walk to the counter and remembered I had withdrawn cash to pay the painter for painting supplies . I flash a bundle of $100 bills at him. His body language immediately changes and he starts fidgeting and looks embarrassed and starts stuttering avoiding eye contact. I ask for his name . He says he won't provide it. A senior and elderly Peruvian lady who works there walks to him (behind the cashier counter ) all the while she's giving me disturbingly dirty looks and starts whispering. Into his ear, all the while pointedly staring at me. Now after being publicly humiliated I tell him he's a racist and Walk out . The most apparent thing was that this man took pleasure in humiliating me .. He had a scary Gleam in his eyes and a smirk when he spoke to me . I've already made a complaint to the civil liberties Union . Since I'm not African American, I feel this mans blatant disregard and disrespect allegedly runs deep towards people of non Spanish cultures. Mex food is my favorite and the food may be good at this restaurant but we are not talking about that . What is being talked about is something that needs to be immediately addressed and these two employees ( that man and the senior elderly Peruvian female worker ) certainly need a mandatory class on how to treat all customers equally and with respect no matter their race, gender, background and religious beliefs .

I've also lived in San Diego and frequent Northern California as well. Mexican food is a staple. We eat it probably close one meal a day. The pico de gallo was excellent. My girlfriend does like pico de gallo really and she actually enjoyed this. The other salsas were excellent as well and fresh home made. I'm a huge fan of milanesa. This milanesa torta as one of the best I have had. The steak and breading were crispy and flavorful. My girlfriend got the birria tacos. That's basically her go to order. She loved it and loved the extra cheese. An added bonus are the hand made tortillas. It for sure hits different if the tortillas are hand made. The ambiance was great and I loved the decor. I also thought the owners were extremely nice. Exceeded my expectations. I would definitely come back if I'm on the East Coast.

The interior is very casual, almost like a diner, and they're usually showing soccer games on the several large TVs that surround the dining area. I highly recommend the bandeja paisa (to share!) or the milanesa de pollo. They also have delicious juices (with water or milk) from a variety of tropical fruits, like mango, mora, and lulo, so give those a try as well. On your way out, grab some bread and pastries for later. The pandebono (cheese bread) is my favorite!

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!

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!

This is Cuban food your abuela - and in Annarella's case, her dear Mima - would make for you. (And many of the recipes are hers) Everything on their menu is good. Seriously, you can't go wrong: Mima's daily specials, empanadas, the De Todito Pollo chicken sandwich, Mima's croquetas, the oxtail sandwich, the Cuban sandwich & medianoche, the vaca frita fries (yes, if I lived closer, I'd be even chunkier for sure!) and one of my cravings, the Elena Ruz (a classic Cuban treat of turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam - it just works!) Important to note: "Asi viene el sandwich meng!" Please don't ask for modifications on anything they make - just trust them and have the true experiencia cubana - they know what they're doing. :) It's a sweet, tiny spot with a cute counter to enjoy your feast. They also have great fruit batidos (shakes) - mango, fruta bomba (papaya) and mamey -- all delicious and made fresh. They'll also make a cafecito for you - all part of the most lovely, authentic Cuban experience you'll ever have for many miles. Dale!
