Popoca Oakland - Ceviche

I stopped by Popoca on a whim without a reservation, and I am so glad I did…read more From the moment I walked in, the service was incredible. The person at the front desk was so sweet, she managed to get us a table within a very reasonable wait time and was incredibly helpful with the menu. I asked for her personal recommendations, and she steered me toward the Puchica cocktail, which was crisp and refreshing. Per her suggestion, I also ordered the Pollo Campero wings, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. They were perfectly crispy with a slight sweetness from the panela that balanced beautifully with the hot sauce and escabeche. We also tried: * Ensalada Rusa: The combination of potatoes and beets was delicious. * Pupusa de Loroco: Perfectly cheesy and authentic. * Quesadilla & Horchata de Morro: For dessert, this pairing was the perfect finish. The entire restaurant smells like home, filled with the most amazing aromas. As someone who grew up with these flavors, this meal genuinely took me back to my childhood. Thank you, Popoca, for embracing Salvadoran cuisine and culture so beautifully. The environment is warm, the staff is wonderful, and the food is soulful. I can't wait to come back!

I was looking for a place to eat for dinner near my hotel. Popoca popped up as the top…read morerecommendation on my Yelp search. Having never had Salvadoran food before, I was eager to give it a try. As a single diner, it was immediately seated. I asked my server for suggestions, and I went with three dishes. The food came out in about 10 minutes: - Pupusa de bacalao y ajo verde: Good. A very homely dish, but still plenty of sharp flavours. - Yuca con hagos: Good. Probably the dish where I didn't know most of the ingredients, but still made great bite. - Pollo "Campero": Very good. The one dish that would be most familiar with most diners - it was very crispy, and had a surprising sweetness, which was really nice. Service was attentive and friendly. Very good. Overall a nice dinner. For me, it was nice introduction to Salvadoran cuisine. I look forward to trying it again.

I have eaten Platanos food several times and each time it has been a delivery order…read more Today's delivery was delicious. There were vegan options, cheese and loroco, bean-cheese and pork, chicken and cheese...I tried 3 different ones and they were all great. The order came with curtido and salsa. I will order from them again, the food was such a hit, per usual!

22 Feb 2025. 3.7 stars. 12:56 pm…read more Hello! Make sure you check their hours. Some days they are only open from 11am to 3pm. On our first 20 mile drive to visit, they blocked us at the inside of the unlocked front door at 3:12pm. Street parking can be difficult but a short drive\walk distance about a block away is a $3 an hour parking garage. The place looks clean and not too busy. We sit and our waitress Yanira M was perfect. Very nice, patient and attentive. We three shared two carne asada dinners with rice and refried red beans, two coffees, a coke and three pupusas. $101.36 before tip. The menu was confusing to us. First, the use of the menu words "red refried beans" confused us as refried beans have never been red in our lifetimes and these were pretty standard brown pinto bean looking and tasting. Maybe less confusion if they were called refried red beans. Then, we thought dinners came with pupusas. No. They came with two each thick tortillas (same as half pupusas with no filling as I could tell.) I enjoyed these thick homemade tortillas. The steak was not bad but I wish it had been served with its sizzle in tact. Salsa and coleslaw came as condiments though they might have been introduced with different names by Yanira. The coleslaw was a nice touch-served in a small jar with serving tongs. The salsa was tasting a bit like the V8 vegetable juice that you had as a kid or teen if you are a boomer. This meal could have really used some homemade spice sauce to add some kick to it. The main negatives today were the high music level at the back where we sat. That, and a busser man dragging some screeching and protesting chairs across the floor - to set up for a large party I believe. Real ear busters. The best part of the meal was the piping hot pupusas and our coffee. I would go back for those.

I believe this space was a Burmese restaurant called Tharaphu a few years back. They made a decent…read moretea leaf salad but without the tableside show. I doubt that made much difference to their clientele, but in its place is another family-run business, this time Salvadoran. This one offers more generic plates at student-friendly prices for undiscriminating palates. That's at least my take in the couple of occasions I've tried it after going to the gym. The first time I tried it I couldn't see the menu until I got up to the order counter. Then I made the server wait since the menu was so comprehensive (Photo 5). I went basic and ordered the $16.99 Chicken Platter because the kabob version was five dollars more. It was decent enough though on the bland side with rice, fresh tomato salsa, and a small side salad of iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumber, and radish (Photo 9). The menu mentioned a house white sauce. I didn't see it, but I also didn't miss it either. I came back to try them again. I tried ordering the $14.99 Scrambled Eggs with Beef Chorizo but was told they were out of chorizo. This was looking to be a recurring theme because I was rebuffed the first time when I unsuccessfully ordered the beef gyro. Ironically this time they had the $16.99 Beef Gyro Platter. The rice and salad were identical to my previous platter, the beef was just OK (Photo 10). FOOD - 3 stars...middling meats, edible but not overly appetizing AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious enough and nicely decorated SERVICE - 3 stars...minimal communication on the food and when it will be ready TOTAL - 3 stars...fitting for a student appetite, good enough for the rest of us if expectations are kept in check RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

Service was super slow and I was one of 3 people there when they opened. Not sure what was going on. They also took forever to make my food. The birria was lacking flavor was was super chewy. Needed to be more tender.
