Asked we arrived about gift card balance and use and were told it’s was good to use. Server said we don’t take gift cards went back to the manager who said I never said it was ok to use. He is a liar and he gave me a balance sheet showing balance available at popos I don’t care if you cancel deal with synergy if it was bought and you took it before and tell me it’s good then stand up to what you freaking say and don’t be a liar after the fact

Place was too slow to have such poor service

We've visited Phoenix several times, and we always make sure to include a stop at Popo's! The Monster burrito is definitely a meal for two, the rolled quesodilla is delicious, thick, and fantastic. We always have the toughest time deciding what to try. Everything we've had has been excellent! My top recommendations are: the Monster Burrito with steak, chicken fajitas (best grilled chicken ever!), chicken rolled quesodilla, and the Combo Plate #1. Also, we always get a bowl of pico-de-gillo (this is an extra charge) to dip our chips and add to our meals. You can't go wrong with Popo's if you're looking for the best Mexican food in Phoenix.

Favorite restaurant for many decades now, since the original location a bit to the south. I always recommend coming here for great food and great salsa, particularly the hot sauce!

Took my niece out to eat here, ordered the beef fajitas and the jalapeno poppers. Sat at the bar after 15 minutes of waiting for the server to come and take a order we've finally placed it. The fajita platter was full of onions which were overcooked and slimy, very minimal bell pepper, the steak minimal portion, the lettuce was brown and old, the salsa that was served with the fajitas was bitter, soggy had the refrigerator flavoring.The jalapeno peppers, what can you say they're always great. They're way over priced. I go to Charritos Mexican restaurant off of 56th Avenue and Glendale and pay half the price, larger portions and great flavored food. One person appetizer a plate and a drink $ 40.00 a person. Save your money and find another Mexican food place with prices that match the food . Be Smart!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven’t even been there yet, Will be going tomorrow, but the fact that I don’t have to cook it and the fact that I went to the original since I was in high school 30 years ago means that it’s even better if they have a new one, So the fact that they were able to expand from one that they had been there forever in a hole in the wall tells me they’re doing something right!!

Service was a little slow this last round, but they had a big party in the back, so we were patient. The Pollo Especial never disappoints.

I tend to try something new every time I come. It almost never goes wrong, until I took my kids, one who doesn't like most foods. I ordered him a cheeseburger (who does this at a mexican restaurant haha). Shortly before our food was served, the waiter informed me that they were out of buns and could bring out something else. The only other item this kid would eat would be chicken nuggets. They brought out his meal, he ate a few fries and said the chicken was weird. I tried it and it was gross. I'm not upset or even surprised that their chicken strips were bad, I didn't complain. The server however, didn't charge us for his meal replacement so I was very happy about the mistake and gross chicken. Our server was great throughout the whole night.
Vegetarian options: Not vegan friendly but easy to order any meal meat free.
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, not too loud. Plenty of space.
