Tacos with everything plus cheese
Jared G.

I ordered tacos asada, pastor, cabeza and tripas with everything plus cheese. Everything was pretty good, but only mildly flavorful. The tripas stood out a little with only slightly earthy taste and slightly crispy. The amount of meat in each taco is a little conservative. They don't have carnitas. There served with grilled onions and Serrano peppers. The red and green sauce, red is fairly spicy, green is medium spicy. It will get the job done for late-night tacos.

Nice lighting, clean area, and new chairs!
Brenda D.

I'm surprised they don't have many reviews, maybe it's still a hidden jem? It's always busy but maybe not enough yelpers in that crowd. This truck was normally parked on the opposite side of the street and didn't have any seating options. We used to sit on plastic containers. The owner made a wise choice and recently purchased actual heavy duty chairs. So good job guys seems like you're listening to your customers. They serve grilled onions and serranos, they have a spicy green or red sauce that compliment the meats. This truck always looks clean and the cooks wearing matching collar shirts adds a nice touch! It's a great taco truck on the west side of the valley. One more thing...they serve Aguas Frescas! The horchata was tasty.

2 Asada, 2 Buche + complimentary sides
Joel C.

Since moving to the area, this spot is a convenient one stop shop for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and aguas frescas. There are multiple meats to choose from, including Asada, Pollo, Al Pastor, Lengua, Tripas, Cabeza, Buche, and Pescado (extra). The green and red (spicy) salsa add a nice kick to the dish and the extra fixings (grilled onion, raddish, and picked carrots/jalapeño) complement well. My usual go-to is the burrito de al pastor.

The blonde lady over charged us by $10 and some change- needs to pay attention

Met some friends who live in the area and highly recommended this place. We were soo satisfied with…read moretheir friendly service and amazing food! 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.

Would rate 4.5, bumped to 5 bc of service…read more Beautiful and aesthetically pleasing restaurant with even better service and palette of food. Came in last night to celebrate a friend's birthday (they have happy hour all day Mon-Wed) and was pleasantly surprised. My friends started off ordering the HH guava margaritas, which they enjoyed. I ordered the coconut margarita (not on HH) a must !!!! Not overwhelmingly sweet and tasty! We ordered and rated the following dishes: Guacamole: 9/10 HH tinga Nachos: 7.5/10 (flavor was there but most chips were burnt) HH Taquitos papas: 9/10 great flavor and sauce HH steak tacos: 7.5/10 the corn and portion of meat to the taco was very good. The steak a little well done for my liking. Enchiladas verde: 9/10 great portion honestly enough for two to share. Rice and beans were okay. Beans a bit salty and rice was a bit bland. Would definitely come back for the apps and drinks! They also have brunch which looks like fun.

I came here yesterday for a late lunch with a friend…read more It's a beautifully decorated restaurant. There are a lot of photo ops. It's definitely IG & TikTok friendly. When we got there, there was a DJ playing 80s/90s throwbacks. It was good music and vibes, but it was quite loud, we could barely hear ourselves speak. Luckily he wasn't there too long, as brunch-time was over. We ordered Mango margaritas, chips & salsa, birria tacos, tinga taquitos, elote, and chicken enchiladas with green sauce. Every single thing was delicious. I was highly impressed. This place will definitely be in the rotation. If I didn't live so far away, I would go for happy hour.

The…read moremachaca was very tender and flavorful and the eggs were very fluffy and the overall burrito was good and not too much beans. It does make a bit of a mess with the machaca juices but the aluminum wrap should hold it pretty well. The salsa are pretty decent and there was tortilla chips that came along with the burrito. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the order and condiments section. The service was very quick and the overall vibe was a bit of a hole in the wall chill eating place.

Walked in after having Sushi. We both said to each other.... you wanna taco? lol…read more So we walked in 15 minutes before closing and Poncho was at the register and took our order. He was super sweet. Since they were closing, it was only to go order that that time which we were totally fine with. We got two crunchy tacos both beef, one shredded, one steak/cubed. They came with chips and extra bag of chips on the side as well. They have a salsa bar so I took two of the spiciest salsas to go. I wish I would've taken the other salsa just to taste them as well, but we will come back for sure! We drove home, which is about a little over five minutes away. The tacos were yummy! I liked them both. I asked my husband which one he liked better and he liked them both but he would pick the shredded beef. I honestly thought they were both delicious. I will get them both again. If I had to pick one, maybe the cubed/steak. Really friendly staff and I appreciate that. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.
