La Popular Austin

Was absolutely spectacular, every item we ordered tasted amazing, the service was outstanding!

The food is so delicious! I will be returning every Tuesday during the Tuesday's and Tequila happy hour.

The service was friendly and very fast. However, the music was louder than anticipated.  the cocktails are tasty and well balanced. Overall, we enjoyed our meal

Our First trip to La Popular was wonderful, we will definitely come back. We were lucky enough to go during happy hour, and that made it very reasonable. Great food, drinks and service.

Best chicken fajitas I have ever had. I love La Popular! Always a pleasant dining experience.

Have been here a few times with mixed experiences but decided to book 6pm on a Friday to give it another try. We arrived early to try to catch the end of Happy Hour and were seated at 5:45pm. By 5:55pm we had watched 3 other parties get sat in our section and greeted. One got water and their bar drinks. I'm a restaurant vet and understand sometimes team members get in the weeds or are dealing with things and can't provide a greeting right away. But what can't be excused is the fact that no less than 4 different waiters walked right past our table, never making eye contact with us as we were obviously looking around waiting to be greeted. "Not my table, not my problem" was the vibe that was given as they attended to other tables right next to us. A simple "hey guys, has anyone been with you?" or "sorry guys, your waiter will be right with you" would've alleviated the situation. But after we finally flagged someone down and asked who was taking care of us, only to have him say "oh, let me go find out" instead of "oh I'm sorry, what can we get you started with", and then waited another 5 minutes we were done. Got up and walked out. Ling Wu to the rescue just next door with EXCELLENT service. Won't ever be back to La Popular.

Service was off the charts amazing. Food was superb! Definitely planning on going back! Great value also!

The food was meh. The cumin flavor was overwhelming in both the chicken fajita and the short rib enchiladas. The margaritas were good but not worth $22 each for a patron margaritas. It was mostly ice in an 8 oz glass. We will not be going back.

Aurora always takes care of us! We had an excellent waiter, and, the new female bartender already is making us the best carajillo we could ask for, which is part of why we held our friend's birthday there, as she loves it!

Chips, salsa and margaritas were good! The tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans were bad. We left most of the food on our plate. We wanted to like it because the atmosphere was good but we won't be back.

This was our first time here and it did not disappoint! We loved the ambiance and the music. Our server, Pedro, was FANTASTIC! We loved the menu and will definitely be back. The food is delicious!!

Wow. What happened. Empty on a Saturday night. Loud Miami music thumping. This restaurant is dying. So much promise. Sad to see. We walked out.

I asked the waitress four times for a particular item and she would not bring it. She stood at another table visiting with others for at least 10 min or more. I had to get up and request the item with another waiter. She finally brought the items at the end of our meal. In addition, she never offered to refill our drinks.

What a perfect lunch. Great margaritas and food but mostly, the service was outstanding. The team seemed to work so well together and enjoy their job. Made our experience even better. The ambiance was perfect!

I went to La Popular and found the food really tasty, with good flavor. I think the place has a lot of potential. I liked the vibe, kind of like a nightclub — dark and stylish, which I enjoyed. The only thing is that it feels like something is missing, I can’t quite say what. Also, they definitely need more staff, because right now service feels limited and things don’t flow as quickly as they should. Good margaritas
