    Steak Chimichangas
    Christine S.

    Ok let me say first that I have been to this place a few times and never been wowed but was satisfied. I went back last night and was disappointed. First the positives, the ordering process and menu were easily accessible. When we arrived at the restaurant to pick up, the food was ready. The host was very nice and the inside of the restaurant was very nice! Now for the not so great, the food. I ordered the steak chimichangas, the portion size was good but nothing came with it, no salsa , no guacamole, no pico de gallo. The taste was pretty basic. Not really flavorful. My husband ordered the quesadillas, he said they were bland. The burrito bowl was the best item ordered. There was plenty of guacamole and pico de gallo. I think they need to work on the flavors . Sadly I won't be back

    Amazing amazing amazing. Words do not give this review justice. Came here to celebrate my pre-birthday and the food was DELICIOUS. The service was amazing. The staff made us feel at home and the vibes were immaculate. We had such a great experience here. We will definitely be coming back. Please go here!!!! You will not regret it.

    Drove up to Scarsdale for a friend's birthday - he is GF and was craving Mexican so we came across this restaurant! We walked in and were seated shortly after! The place is small itself but cozy. A few minutes after we sat, one of the waiters dropped a glass and it cracked all over the floor / table we were sitting at. It was quickly cleaned up, only to find more & more pieces under our feet. I sadly came straight from work & was in open toed heels which made me even more upset! My friend & I cleaned up some remainders and luckily the table next to us checked in & helped. The waiters didn't really seem to care much, the host made a joke about our appetizer coming soon to make up for it, I assumed it'd be on the house or something would be offered in order to accommodate the event that just occurred; however it was like nothing had happened. The nachos were okay - thought it was weird to be charged extra for guac that was initiated by the waiter. The main courses were ok... a bit flavorless .. my friend got the salmon and I ordered fajitas - it was bland to say the least but I was hangry from work & tried to pick the protein out. Prices are higher than your typical Mexican restaurant but the quality is very average. All in all, I probably would not come here again.

    Not sure what to think of this place. I was expecting high prices because of its location, but the food misses the mark. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The indoor space is nice and looks like they have outdoor seating for warmer weather. We ordered yuca fries, mahi mahi tacos, quesadillas and a fajita (chicken and shrimp). The fajita was good, big portion and plenty of veggies. The tacos had no flavor, same for quesadilla. The yuca fries were ok, the sauce is what had the flavor. The place dubs itself as Mediterranean-Mexican. Didnt try any of the medi dishes, but i would say the Mexican dishes are more tex-mex. Their websites states that the food is locally source, wild caught fish, etc... thats a big plus. However, for $6 per taco I expect more from my food.

    This Med-Mex (Mediterranean/Mexican) place misses the mark when it comes to Mediterranean. This place is 100% Mexican. The only Mediterranean items would be the octopus. I think this place would do much better as 100% Mexican. All the happy hours are Mexican (Margarita Monday, taco Tuesday, sangria Wednesdays). The tacos are good but could be better. The meat in the tacos could be cut in bigger pieces in order to hold more flavor. I thought the carne asada tacos were cut too small which let all the juices flow out of the meat. 3/5 The chimichurri skirt steak was a 3 but could have been a 4 if they let their meat rest and cut the steak much later. The steak was missing the juices which spilled out onto the plate because the meat didn't rest like it's supposed to. Our server was fabulous. Service 5/5 Atmosphere 3/5 Food 3/5

    Loved it here! I was in the area and was looking for a new dinner spot. We wanted to try some different tacos. I was pleasantly surprised by PopoJito's. I had hot tea and the calamari and short rib tacos. We also ordered the guacamole. Everything we ordered was very fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was pretty quiet; we went on a holiday. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back to try more of their tacos!

    Mexican Chopped Bowl ($13) - ok

    Great spot for a weekend lunch. There are some spots outside on the sidewalk, and that was delightful for me and my family. The menu is surprisingly large! It was hard to choose. I ended up getting a salad, which was fresh but seemed a little heavy on the lettuce vs. mixings. I greatly appreciated the kid menu, which was reasonably priced and fulfilling. Next time, I'll definitely snag a drink. The drink menu was ample and appealing. Fast service and nice waiters!

    Beef empanadas
    Greta S.

    I have gotten delivery before which was delicious but decided to go dine in this time around. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. It was so nice to have a full menu to pick from that is gluten free, even dessert options. The mozzarella sticks were some of the best mozzarella sticks I've ever had, super fresh & flavorful, also really large. 10/10 cheese pulls. The beef empanadas were also super yummy and had a nice aioli sauce to dip them in. I opted for a burrito for the main and got the cookie skillet for dessert, both were immaculate. I will be dreaming about this meal and cannot wait to return.

    Chicken burrito

    This is a me simple test. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I always ask myself, "Would I return to this establishment?" The answer to PopoJito is that I would definitely comeback. The flavors to all the entrees were awesome. The food was fresh. This is gluten free restaurant. And I have to say that any flour dishes were not missing. We came for my daughter's birthday and her diet must be gluten free. The plates were so tasty, that you wouldn't even notice that it was flour free. Kudos!!!

    First time visiting and it definitely won't be my last! This restaurant has been around for about…read moresix years, and I'll admit I had previously dismissed it because it's located in an outer strip of stores where Harmon and Bed Bath & Beyond once were. I truly wish I hadn't--because I was thoroughly impressed with the food, the décor, the service, and the extensive menu. There are so many dishes I want to come back and try. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant impressed us with its vibrant, themed décor and incredibly friendly staff who made us feel right at home. Warm tortilla chips with chunky salsa and glasses of water were brought to our table immediately after we sat down, which was a great start. They have a full-service bar, and while they don't offer frozen cocktails, we honestly didn't miss them. I had a coconut margarita, and my husband enjoyed a passionfruit rum cocktail. He doesn't drink tequila, so I asked if rum could be substituted, and they were more than happy to accommodate. He chose a Tajín rim, while I opted for sugar instead of salt. Both drinks were strong, flavorful, and served in really nice, heavy margarita glasses. We both chose specials from the House Special Grill, and wow--what a great decision. My husband had the skirt steak and jumbo shrimp, served with a creamy corn salsa, and he loved every bite. I ordered the grilled steak with sautéed onions, homemade tortillas, cactus pad (nopales), rice, and beans. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and perfectly prepared. We ended the night on a high note with dessert--one of the best flans I've ever had--paired with a glass of hot Mexican coffee. Absolutely delicious. Amazing food, great drinks, welcoming service, and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The food is top quality and service is excellent. the restaurant is also quite well decorated for such a miniscule place. The only caveat keeping this review from being five stars is the price. Mexican fare is known for being hearty, large portioned and affordable and having now patronized this establishment twice, I can say it is two of the three. The lofty price tag will unfortunately keep me from becoming a regular. Still, it is a nice treat once in a blue moon. Good show, overall. Fare: 5/5 Price: $$$

Everything felt watery, and while I understand that some locations may cater to people who prefer milder food with more moisture, it just didn't work for me. I had the beef birria.

The rice was forgettable, there were a lot of chips, and the drinks were okay. This was just an average spot. I wouldn't come back unless they made some noticeable improvements.

I think they may have added the cilantro cream sauce because I mentioned it after I saw it listed for another dish on the menu - not sure if it's usually on there - but was a great addition and would recommend. The whole dish was tasty. I did notice on the menu that their drinks are on the pricy side - 14 for a piña colada, for instance. This dissuaded me from getting one. Feels a bit unreasonable to have drinks and entrees be similar prices. The waiter was attentive and efficient. The environment is casual, relaxed, yet festive. Great place to go to wind down a week.

However, I'm happy to report that I dined here recently and had a better experience. Since the time of my initial review, La Casa remained in my periphery - mainly because my parents periodically visited and it was a frequent stop of one of my friends who lives in Bronxville. That being said, I was curious to check out La Casa again - and that opportunity came when my mother chose here to celebrate Mother's Day. La Casa is located just off the main commercial strips. The interior is pretty spacious with a bar towards the front of the restaurant and the main dining room split in two sections. The decor is somewhat under-toned with a cool color scheme and tasteful decor. This is in contrast with other Mexican restaurants that tend to go overboard with the kistch and warm colors. I will say the seats look a little tired, they could use some re-upholstering - and were a little lower to the ground than I expected. In addition to the indoor space, they have an outdoor section which was done up very nicely. The brunch menu contained a selection of apps, sides, quesadillas, tacos, and sides. We decided to start by splitting a few apps: brisket and al pastor tacos, a quesadilla, street corn, chips and guac, and more guac with tuna. All the apps were tasty - the biggest standouts for me were the quesadilla and the tacos which were all generously filled and had good flavor. For my main, I got the camarones a la diabla which were shrimp in a red pepper sauce placed atop beans and paired with bok choy. The dish was pretty good - the shrimp could have been a bit snappier, but I appreciate that they de-shelled them and the sauce and beans worked well with them. Dare I say the bok choy was the star of the dish? It had just enough flavor and added a needed green. We opted for dessert, and I got the grilled pineapple which was paired with (per the menu) vanilla ice cream or guanabana sorbet. I wasn't asked to choose, and was served the sorbet. I would have liked to have been given the option, but maybe that's all they had - fwiw the sorbet was good. The pineapple was candied and came as a large, thick ring - definitely needed a knife and fork to cut it up (which they provided); this was a good dish in concept but I think it can be executed better. Service was good, everyone was friendly and efficient. In my experience, service tends to be the weakest component of a meal on a holiday, but they did a great job. Overall, I had a good experience at La Casa. Even though it's not in my backyard, I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself.

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 .
