The meat was good this time. We also tried some new items that we didn't realize were available which were also tasty. I will also say they are consistent with how generous they are with the meat to fillings ratio so if you are starving, you'll definitely get bang for your buck. I'm glad I gave them another shot.

We started with a round of Ahi Tuna Toatadas and I had to have a second order! The tostadas are completely covered with the most deliciously marinated Ahi Tuna and are completely mouth watering! We also started with their Watermelon Hibiscus Margarita and regular Margaritas. Perfect for sitting on the pet friendly patio. We also tried their Oaxacan Old Fashioned that came smoked, always a treat. We had their Chopped Salad with Salmon, the most amazing Shrimp Fajitas, Suizias Chicken Enchiladas and their Carne Asada Plate. ALL were top notch and cooked/seasoned to perfection!

I've been to La Popular before and have always enjoyed the food, especially the queso fundido with…read morechorizo. It's a simple appetizer, but absolutely delicious and filling. Unfortunately, this visit left a bad taste in my mouth, and it had nothing to do with the food. We arrived approximately 15 minutes before happy hour ended, which was purely coincidental because I wasn't even aware of their happy hour schedule. Upon entering, I needed to use the restroom, so the person I was dining with was seated by the host. When I returned, I noticed we still hadn't received menus or been approached by a server, despite a waitress standing nearby looking directly at our table. Since no one had acknowledged us, my dining companion decided to walk over to the bar to take advantage of the happy hour specials. On his way back, he politely asked the waitress about getting menus. Her response was unnecessarily rude and unprofessional. She snapped, "This isn't self-seating! That's why you haven't gotten a menu!" She then proceeded to explain that it was her section. He calmly informed her that we had, in fact, been seated by the host. Rather than apologizing for her assumption, she went over to the host, said something while looking in our direction, and the host confirmed that he had indeed seated us. At that point, she disappeared into the kitchen, and another waitress approached our table. This second waitress was absolutely wonderful! She apologized for the confusion, took our drink order, and provided the level of hospitality you would expect when dining out. Unfortunately, the situation didn't end there. The original waitress continued making comments about us to coworkers as they passed by, making an already uncomfortable situation even more unpleasant. It was obvious that she had an issue with us, and rather than handling a simple misunderstanding professionally, she chose to make it everyone else's business. We eventually requested to speak with the general manager. He was understanding and offered us several $10 discount cards for future visits, along with a complimentary dessert, which I politely declined because I'm not much of a dessert person. I appreciated his attempt to make things right, but I want to make one thing very clear: We were not looking for discounts, free food, or special treatment. We simply expected basic respect and decent customer service. In fact, I ended up giving away the discount cards because, after that experience, I had no desire to return. The food was great, the drinks were good, and the waitress who stepped in to take care of us was fantastic. She deserves recognition for her professionalism and for turning an uncomfortable situation into a more pleasant dining experience. However, one employee's attitude can completely overshadow everything a restaurant does right. Customer service is about the CUSTOMER. You're not required to love every interaction, but you are expected to remain professional, respectful, and courteous. If dealing with customers bothers you that much, perhaps a warehouse position would be a better fit. It's unfortunate because La Popular has genuinely good food, but no amount of delicious queso fundido or complimentary desserts can make up for being treated like an inconvenience simply for walking through the door.

A good spot for some hearty tacos!…read more It's in a huge plaza with ample parking. The space was great but be warned that there is no bathroom, they do provide wet wipes for your hands. We ordered quesatacos with birria, as recommended by the waiter, tacos estilo tijuana and taco dorado. The food came fast and we got to dig in! The birria was marinated so good and it went well with the quesataco. Will be back for more birria!

First time here and my experience was overall positive; would give overall a 4.5/5. Despite what…read moreother reviewers said about there always being a line, I was fortunate that there was no line when I came on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were all friendly (from the person who took my order to the person who handed me the order) and my order came out correctly. There's enough seating inside, but me warned that they have no restrooms for customer use (not sure if that's even legal). Anyway, onto the food... 1. Regular Taco (4/5) Going to any taco establishment, it's a must to try their original taco. I got it with carne asada. The tortilla is corn-based and it comes with onions, cilantro, fresh tomato salsa. Overall, not a bad taco, just not the best, best. The overall flavor profile was pretty solid though - you get the beefy flavor from the shredded beef, the refreshing-ness of the cilantro, salsa and freshly squeezed lemon juice. 2. Birria Tacos (5/5) Corn tortilla lightly fried in birria broth; this version is between the regular taco and the dorados. It gets soggy quickly from the juicy, flavor-packed broth, so eat this first and fasssttt! The beef was flavorful and tender. Onions and cilantro were fresh. It not only looked good, it tasted great! 3. Dorados (5/5) This is their "crunchy" taco, which I got with shredded beef (default, but can change to other protein options). That crunchy shell was just sooo satisfying with each bite. Flavor wise, it's pretty similar to the Birria taco described above. I love the fresh radish slices they offer on the side. It's crunchy and a nice palate cleanser in between each taco.

Whether you're in the mood for shrimp, fish, lobster, or a fresh ceviche platter, you really can't go wrong. The taste and quality of the food are consistently superb. We usually order the shrimp and fish tacos with all the ingredients they come with, and they never disappoint. Their white sauce is exceptional, and I especially like that you can choose your spice level--regular, mild, or spicy. Whatever your preference, the flavor and heat are just right. The ceviche is another favorite. Whether you order shrimp or fish ceviche, it's especially refreshing on a warm summer day. The balance of lemon and seasoning is just right, and the portions are generous and beautifully prepared. And let's not forget about the atmosphere and the staff. They have always been professional, attentive, and pleasant. The owners clearly take pride in their restaurant, and I believe the main cook has helped maintain the same great taste and quality that this place was known for under its previous ownership. I've tried Baja-style tacos at many different places, but this one continues to stand out for me because of the quality, flavor, and consistency. I would definitely recommend Baja Beach Tacos to anyone looking for delicious Baja-style food. But don't just take my word for it--go check it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!

Extremely disappointed with the food . . . I used to eat at this location when it was Lola's Tacos…read more The food at Lola's Tacos was so delicious and the portions were very large. I haven't been there since they changed owners and decided to give it a try. Apparently, the chef and the waitresses are the same so I was thinking the food would be the same as before. This time when I went, I ordered the chicken taco and shrimp taco. The chicken taco was cold and contained small pieces of dark meat thrown into a taco. Usually tacos use shredded or stewed chicken so this was not the norm for me. The minute I bit into it, I could taste the chicken was old and gamey. I bit into a large piece of grissle from the bone and almost threw up. I took one bite of the shrimp taco and could not identify the flavor. It definitely wasn't cilantro, but some other kind of herb I didn't recognize. I ended up throwing it away. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately, I will never go back. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this place

My second time visiting this taco spot. My previous review talks about how much I like this place…read more But my first time here I only got the tacos. On this trip, I got my usual go to at taco trucks which is a couple of tacos and a mulita! Just as delicious as I remembered. I came through on the later side, so there wasn't that long of a line. The place was really chill on the people were really friendly. This place is located in Sylmar, which is where the 5 and the 405 converge. So if I haven't gotten food yet, it's a great stop on the way up to see my folks in the Bay Area. So glad I did. I think I should start making a tradition whenever I drive up.

It smelled like a completely different truck, and I was told it's under the same ownership--but it…read moredidn't feel that way at all. The truck itself looks different now, and unlike before, there were no prices posted outside, which was a red flag. The green sauce had an off texture. The tortillas were still good, but they were out of key meats like asada and cabeza, and no one could explain why. That left me ordering chicken (which was bland), pastor, and lengua--which ended up being tough. Overall, the experience was disappointing compared to what it used to be. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Pretty good spot for classic Mexican dishes!…read more They have some booths, tables, and a bar area with tvs. They have beer and wine and their cocktails are wine based, so for tequila they will use agave wine. Tried some shots of reposado agave wine and it had the essence of tequila but not as strong. You are greeted with complimentary chips and salsa (always a plus) anddddd bean dip. The chile Relleno burrito, fajitas, and shrimp burrito looked good but whenever I see CARNE EN SU JUGO on the menu, I have to have it- slices of meat cook with onions, bean, and bacon in a green sauce. You eat this in a bowl with tortillas , almost Like a soup and it's just hearty, "spicy", deliciousness. The shrimp that we tried on the carne asada plate was plump, juicy, and well seasoned.

The vampiros tacos was what I ordered and wow they were so delicious!!! They aren't like your ordinary tacos and this spot is family-owned and are authentic. I loved the grilled onions because they were tender and full of that fatty flavor from the grilled meats. The tortillas with the tacos were crunchy (that's the vampiro style) and I actually like soft tacos more but I loved these. The fresh salsas are always a necessity for me and I came back for more. They are on the side so you can easily grab them after ordering. For pricing, I wish they weren't so expensive at $3 a taco but I at least feel like they packed the tacos with enough meat and toppings. The vampiro fries were also pretty delicious and had a great amount of flavor. This spot also does catering which is cool! They are open everyday except for Mondays.

As for the food, I ordered the Al pastor fries, and my jaw dropped when they handed it over. The serving size is absolutely massive and could easily feed 3 to 4 hungry people! They are incredibly generous with all the toppings, especially the beautifully seasoned meat, and the flavor was entirely on point. Just keep in mind that the restaurant itself is pretty cozy with limited indoor seating, and while they do have a charming outdoor patio, space is tight there as well. Pro tip: do yourself a favor and order ahead of time for pickup to beat the crowd!
