I've been to La Popular several times for happy hour but never reviewed until now. Speaking of, the…read morehappy hour isn't bad, but it's not one of my first choices for. Anyway.... Today we went for brunch, our first time. Awhile back the restaurant mailed BOGO free brunch cards to households in the area, and since this was the 2nd to last weekend to use, we went. Came in a little after 11, not very busy (The Vineyards tend to get very busy later in the day on weekends) I order a Spicy Watermelon Passion Fruit Agua Fresca - it was good, but the Watermelon was so overwhelming it was hard to taste the passionfruit. My mom had the breakfast tacos (not pictured) which she liked a lot, I had the avocado toast and added ahi tuna. The toast may look small at first, but was very rich and filling. I will say I was surprised to see the tuna in lox-like strips, but maybe that's because I'm used to ahi tuna either seared or in chunks poke style. All in all, a very nice experience. I think i wanna go back and try the pancakes.

I bookmarked this restaurant YEARS ago and since then, Yelp buddies have been adding their recs,…read morebut I kept driving by saying, 'Oooone day...'. Today was FINIALLY the mañana I've been promising myself! Shout outs to Joe Z and Jennifer E! Hubs and I came in on the Friday of Valentine's Day for some HHour nibbles and - if I'm being honest - this gal REALLY wanted a margarita. We were greeted and seated immediately, smiling faces all around. Lovely, fresh red roses on each table and Valentine themed balloons throughout the restaurant made this venture seem extra special. Lily, our beyond delightful server, approached with a welcoming 'Hola, Mama, what can I get you to drink?' When I said I needed a margarita, simple, but good, she recommended the 24oz Mega Margarita, a great price at the regular $20, but a bargain at HHour $16! Perfecto! Rocks, no salt, perfectly refreshing and delicious. Now, they state "Traditional Mexican Cuisine as well as our specialty Mariscos" on their website and, honestly, I think I should have gone for a seafood dish. I kept saying 'try something different' in my head as I perused the menu, so I tried Tacos Dorados con Carne and chose chicken as my meat. I'm sure this was very authentic. But, aside from French fries, I'm not much of a potato gal, and I don't care for tacos - what was I thinking?!?! I blame the margarita! LOL The chicken was seasoned well and the presentation was beautiful. It's not fair to judge the dish on my lameness to order something I wouldn't know anything about, so ignore my ignorance and, if you like the idea of whipped potato stuffed into fried tacos topped with cabbage, seasoned(and a gorgeous shade of pickled pink!) onions and meat, go for it! Now, Hubs, ever the compass of steady and unwavering culinary journeying, went with the Asada Quesadilla and was VERY HAPPY with his choice. From his dish I stole his way too complex (for him) and fabulously fresh guac. By the end we were satisfied, I held off ordering a second 24oz Marg, Hubs poured what was left of me into the car and we headed home. But I have since been thinking about the great service, comfortable ambiance, the way the staff treated each guest as if they were family walking into their home, our generous plates of food, that margarita and how conveniently located Las Originales is for us and I KNOW we will return! I think next time I'll try a Guadalajara inspired, tomato sauce soaked Torta with grilled ham, shredded pork, soft cheese and other delicious "stuffs". THAT should pair most excellently with another Mega Margarita. Cheers! "CC"

The flavors were great, portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and delicious. The service was also outstanding. Our server, Leo, was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the start.

His recommendations were excellent--the carnitas were delicious, and the Watermelon Hibiscus Margarita was amazing. Overall, the combination of great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for a wonderful family dinner. We'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to others.

My current favorite is the chicken mole. It's nice to find somebody who really puts their heart and soul into making a good mole. Nutty and chocolatey undertones give way to a nice subtle spice. Absolute perfection. Another favorite is the shrimp enchiladas. The shrimp were incredible and tasted like wild shrimp. I asked the owner what type of shrimp they use and sure enough, they use wild caught shrimp. I chatted with the owner a bit and she is super passionate about her food. They do have their hard liquor license. The skinny cucumber margarita is superb. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Still hungry. Salsa bar decent Ordered 3 Red Tacos w Consommé to go. Meat portions are stingy for the price $17.45 = $5.80 each. Total rip off . Niche meat very small portion. I complained about the small portion and they say they use a scoop and all the scoops are the same size, but they must not pack it down because it's probably full of air because the birria meat had more meat, not substantially because it was still very unfilled empty taco shells, probably cause it's cheaper. Consume was watery bland, and zero flavor why bother. This place had such good reviews, but in my opinion, it's not even worth it for the same price I paid and the food I got I would've been more satisfied with a lot more better tasting food at something like a tacō běll. I complained about meat portion not worth price. They refused to adjust portion. Told them I'm going to give harsh review about tell the truth about their high prices and small portions and post pics so people can see what a rip off they are. They ignored me. Place is small clean and filled with only single guys on their blue-collar job lunch hour. They must've been hungry and didn't care about paying up for lousy bland food. Food is overrated, very bland and small portions for the high prices. Will not ever come back. Disappointed must be a lot of fake reviews or people who don't value taste or value for money.

The company I work for frequently has lunch catered in, so I'm always on the lookout for tasty food at an affordable price and I am SO happy I found this place! Art is the owner and he is so helpful and friendly, he made ordering a breeze and was incredibly accommodating to our requests and needs. We ordered a variety of burritos, chicken, carne asada, and fish. They were so delicious, packed with a perfect balance of ingredients - (not like the overrated place that gives you a brick of rice with meat sprinkles). There was not a single complaint on the food among my 40 coworkers and that's very very very rare! Art highly recommended we try their breakfast burritos the next time, so most recently, we ordered that. We had the chorizo breakfast burritos, bacon burritos, and plain - all had eggs, hash browns, cheese, chipotle aioli, and salsa. Once again Art delivered outstanding service and food, no complaints, just happy, full bellies. And for this kind of customer service and quality food, I'd expect to be paying a high price, but Brick and Flour is extremely budget friendly. Please go in and support this local business because they are truly exceptional!!

There are several tables to sit at and A TV with soccer playing. My order was done fairly quickly and packed very well. The tacos were all labeled The tacos were stuffed with meat. At other places I usually order four so that is what I got here but I was full after three! The rice and beans were very tasty as well.
