We went for a bday lunch around noon. Pretty empty. Ordered 4 cocktails and 4 Mexican candy shots. Nobody was at the bar so we didn't know why the drinks were taking so long. The drinks were awful. For something as simple as a Mexican candy shot it didn't taste right at all. The cocktails were even worse. Our water cups were stained. We didn't wanna complain so we made sure they weren't just water spots. It was leftover food. We asked to exchange it for another glass. They brought us 2 more glasses with the same issue. Hoping the food would make up for all this, but sadly it didn't. There was no birthday dessert. Even if it wasn't complimentary we were never told of any dessert options. They just never acknowledged it. We walked to the food lab to get dessert for the birthday girl. read more

New spot in Redlands next to the new Eureka location. Walking in we had a 15 minute wait but two chairs inside for you to avoid the heat. Many other people came in after us and had to wait outside in the heat as there is really no waiting area inside so get there early. The greeters and servers were great and worth 5 stars. I had the LP Margarita which was pretty good. I also had the Ribeye taco, chicken tinga taco and carnitas taco. Tacos were ok and could use a little more meat for a happy hour price of $4.25. They serve with one corn tortilla which is ok for the meat tacos but not so much for the tinga. The juice caused the tortilla to break apart. They might want to think about doubling tortillas for the chicken. The salsa flight was actually a very good choice to get different types of salsas. The vibe inside is also pretty good with music playing in the background and people just have a great time. They offer a tequila club much like Eurekas whiskey club that gets you discounts and monthly tequila bottle at $85 a month. We elected not to become members. read more

We have humbly been a here a few times. We really enjoy the Mole Enchiladas . The atmosphere is great and wonderful , great and amazing. We simply love the deliicious meals with beef, tacos, ribeye and we love all the tacos. Excellent customer service. Thank you. Love Susan. read more

Went for happy hour and tried their spicy margarita, ribeye taco, queso fundido, and guac. The ambiance is beautiful inside. It's very airy and spacious and great for a date night. The food is really good too. The margarita was strong, so beware! The ribeye taco had salsa and guacamole on it and was tender, though one taco was nearly five dollars- even during happy hour. The guacamole was balanced and I enjoyed the generous amount of lime in it. The queso was super rich and delicious too. read more

The food is not authentic Mexican. Rice tastes like it came out of a box. The green enchiladas were dry, little to no sauce. It seemed likes there was only one server at the time we went, because our server was all over the place, but our table (honestly, she didn't seem happy to be there at all). I had to get up multiple times to ask for things like salt (the food was that bland) and a refill. Just don't waste your money. The food is not worth their prices and the service was awkward. Chipotle beats this any day, and that's just a basic option. read more

The staff were warm and friendly and attentive. I had the World Cup cocktail, which was good though a little bit sweet for me. The food was good. The salsa flight had a couple spicy salsas that were really good though I didn't really enjoy the Brown Asian inspired one very much. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

La Popular is such a cute, trendy Mexican restaurant that I believe has the potential to become very popular. As we entered we were greeted by a warm welcome and smile by the host who quickly sat us. The environment is fun and upbeat with a great open floor plan. The biggest down side is they leave ALL the doors open on hot summer days so the restaurant is very very hot!! You'd be better off sitting outside with the misters. After we got sat we waited about 10 minutes to get greeted by a server who asked us if we've been helped out yet. We let her know we have not and she proceeded to take our order. It seems the staff is still learning the menu as they didn't have answers to a lot of questions and didn't know what the happy hour consisted of. We ordered Grande LP margaritas off the happy hour menu along with the queso fundido and guacamole. Both appetizers were fantastic! The margaritas tasted more like pure lime than a well balanced margarita. After our appetizers we ordered Ribeye tacos, Carnitas, and Chicken tinga to really try the variety. The carnitas was our favorite with ribeye coming next. We wouldn't order the chicken tinga again. I think the ribeye tacos could do without the pico as it was mostly just tomato and took away from the flavors of everything else. Lastly we ordered the churros which were delicious! Definitely would order again as they were hot and crispy. As the server dropped off our check we noticed that we hadn't been charged for the happy hour priced margaritas and churros. She told us that the Grande margaritas aren't on happy hour. When the happy hour clearly states they are. So after some back and forth she took the receipt to her manager. She brought pack the receipt with the corrected priced margaritas, but added another churros anywho it took about 20 mins just to close out. It took 3 separate times to get the correct check. It was just frustrating as we were wanting to leave. Over all I feel La Popular has a lot of room to improve with their menu and staff, I feel with time they'll become a staple in Redlands. read more

It was my first time here and let me start by saying the ribeye tacos were disgusting, the meat was super tough and hard to chew. The patio misters were more like a shower.

The margaritas also good not too sweet and not over iced! We finished with the butter cake and oh my sooooo good! Can't wait to take my husband here he's going to love it.

Welcome to La Popular , a great date night spot from Eureka! Restaurant group . We attended their soft opening and were seated directly at a table for two ( note that you may need to make space on the smaller tables for all of the great food you are going to enjoy ) Jesus was our delightful waiter . He was communicative , polite and had a lot of great insights on the menu and offerings for their soft opening . We started with their salsa sampler and cheese dip. Great idea of serving different tortillas with the dip! I ordered the combo with two fish tacos and the suggested enchilada served with amazing beans and rice .My husband ordered the combo fajitas . Do not sleep on the steak fajitas . Cooked perfectly , served perfectly and you are pretty much able to cut it with just a fork it was so tender. Really excellent . We shared the churros for dessert and it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Jesus and the management team as well as all of the service staff did an excellent job and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you . read more

Pretty good, but wouldn't come back that often. Decent prices, but of course not authentic. The staff they have are solid, and I loved the interior design. Our food came out cold and I wouldn't recommend any of their salads. Tacos were pretty good and every drink I tasted was really yummy. Nice place to take friends. read more

First time at La Popular and let's just say... it definitely won't be my last! The vibe is giving elevated Mexican with the perfect mood lighting for a fun night out. My girlfriend and I ordered the Baja and ribeye taco plates with rice and beans, added a side of street corn, and ended the night on a sweet note with the butter cake (shoutout to our amazing waitress, Nelly, for all the recommendation!). Everything was delicious, but the shrimp tacos and street corn completely stole the show. Bonus points for the great service and zero wait on a Monday evening we were seated right away. Safe to say La Popular just earned a spot on our "we need to come back here" list! read more

Place looks great good atmosphere I'm sure the drinks are good, stay away from the food We ordered 3 plates of Red Chilaquiles was very DISAPPOINTED your better off ordering chips & salsa that's what you get a plate of there chips and they pour just enough to cover the tips of the corn chips, there's maybe two table spoons of beans. We all ordered over easy eggs we got flat hard boiled eggs all three plates, No cheese, No sour cream No rice. Chilaquiles Plate was Terrible read more

Great service, great vibe, great food. A little pricey, but within reason. Cool location also. Great place to hit happy hour and watch a game (if you sit at the bar). We signed up for their rewards program and already earned free apps after only a single visit! We'll be back for sure! The tuna tostada was ok. The mahi mahi tacos however were very good! The mole chicken was also very good! read more

Everything I tried was fantastic! The food, ambience, and service were truly great. Thank you to Daniel my bartender for the great recommendations. He is very knowledgeable on spirits and makes some beautiful cocktails. He also told me all about The Agave Spirits Club which is honestly so cool, I've never seen a restaurant or bar do something like this before. I had a wonderful first experience and I'll definitely be coming back with friends and family next time! read more

This is my new go to spot on Tuesdays. David and Ryeanne were amazing behind the bar. Perfect liquor knowledge and drink experience. Like I said, I'll be back every Tuesday for them. The food is always amazing too. Especially for the three dollar tacos, and happy hour all day. Since is a brand new restaurant, the food is on point and made exceptional. Thank you David and Ryeanne on making my experience exponential! read more

We have been here twice in the last few weeks. Phenomenal, interesting and delicious takes on Mexican dishes. Our servers have been outstanding; my one complaint was that the girl who waited on our table last week never told us what the taco of the month was until we asked. We sat outside on the patio both times because the noise level inside was quite high. We will be back to try some more of their delicious fare. (The street corn tacos were yummy!) read more

Visited this new resturant for a last minute date night. Overall the location is easy to get too and elegant feel. Wait times were reasonable. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and recommended upgrading to the salsa flight if you like a variety of spicy salsa. They have tvs near the bar, perfect for watching games while enjoying a drink. read more

The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a thoughtful story behind it, and I appreciated the welcoming atmosphere they've created. They offer aguas frescas in a more modern style, which was still enjoyable, and there is a nice variety of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, along with regular soft drinks. Adding an alcoholic version of the aguas frescas could be a great option. That said, the food was disappointing. It was fairly bland and did not have the authentic Mexican flavor I was expecting, especially given the restaurant's emphasis on its Mexican roots. The biggest issue, however, was the timing: the food took a long time to arrive, and some items were served cold. Overall, the service was strong, but the food and wait time fell short of my expectations. read more

Grabbed a quick late lunch/early dinner and it was perfect. Ordered the steak fajita. Tender, juicy steak! seafood ceviche was amazing!! Got some beer/shot orders add red wine and a chicken bowl for the kids! Amazing service, and a lot of patience with our server since we couldn't decide to close our tab or continue ordering. Overall an amazing experience. With kids--- 1yo & 4yo read more

Walked in ready to love this place. Cute interior, but everything else was a crime scene. Service moved like it was stuck in traffic. Free chips and salsa somehow won MVP of the whole meal, which is never a good sign. Ceviche tasted like someone waved a lime at fish and called it a day. Breakfast burrito came with all the good stuff sitting on the side like it refused to commit. Ribeye tacos were so dry I was chewing pure texture and regret. And the beans and rice... HOW do you mess up beans and rice? Pretty space; terrible food. Save your time, money, and stomach space and just go to a taco truck. read more

Very good tacos (Tinga, birria, street corn, carne asada) on Taco Tuesday. The most amazing part was the SALSA flight with increasing levels of heat. Disabled parking not easy to get to; I paid for a closer spot in the former theater lot. read more

The first time I visited La Popular we were less than pleased with the service. The bartender didn't acknowledge us and we were two of four at the bar-top. We finally were able to get our drinks but felt so unwelcome we went next door for dinner. The past two times we returned (so thankful we did!!) were nothing short of amazing. Great drinks, the salsa flight is TERRIFIC, and the service was amazing. The last visit David was behind the bar helping and super helpful with picking drinks. Whenever I am craving chips and salsa this will also be my go to spot! read more

Great Happy Hour, excellent food and drinks. Service was good and Ambiance was nice.

The food is good but the service is horrible. Waited about 30 minutes to get our two carne asada plates. The waitress (we sat at the bar) brings out 4 tortillas for two entrees of carne asada??? She asks us if we would like more tortillas, I responded with "definitely." About 10 minutes had gone by and no tortillas, meantime the remaining food we would like tortillas for was getting cold. We decided to eat the remaining asada with no tortillas. The bartender apologized for the delay and went to the back a few times to check on our food and tortillas. As we were leaving, she again apologized. I told her it was not her fault but we will probably not be back. read more

This place is so lovely! Natural lighting and FAB SERVICE :) I was starving to death when we got here and my server Alexiz was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu. So many spirits to choose from wow... I had the mole which was bomb - not too sweet and the Oaxacan old fashioned! I'm normally a whiskey chick, but yummmmm chefs kiss Cheers! read more

This place never disappoints! Been here twice and it always a pleasure to be there. Greeted with hospitality all the time. The first time I went me and my friend sat at the bar. It honestly more entertaining then the table because we mostly watched the bartender make these extravagant drinks. If we had questions about the drinks they were making, they were always polite and were more than willing to answer our questions. The pork tacos were delicious but it was the tajin fries that shook me. I never expected those to be the best ever. No shade on their other foods, I'm just a potat-hoe and I like carbs. The ambiance is thriving with its artwork and cleanness. read more
