I struggled with the rating of this place. Popoca deserves more than 3, but a 4 would not work. The ambiance is very inviting and cosy. There is a bar while you wait. Sadly, the beer choices are...abysmal with Sol, Modelo, and Bohemia as the only options. The cocktails looked interesting, but I didn't get to try them.
I'll be honest about the food: the servings are closer to tapas style, but the cost is closer to a regular restaurant. And for this...

Popoca was an amazing experience from the staff to the tasting menu! For around $75 a person we got a delicious assortment of foods I had honestly never tasted before ending with a beautiful tasty trio of pupusas with beans and rice. (Other standouts included the pork with mole I believe and the hot chocolate and bread at the end!)
One of the best meals I had and a great introduction to El Salvadoran food.
What wasn’t so great was our car...

The pupusas (camarón, lengua, and hongos) were flavorful, and the ceviche was enjoyable, guacamol was good, but overall, it wasn’t great. A big disappointment was the Pollo en Chicha, which was undercooked....
