" Popo's is a true hidden gem! The first time I went, I ordered the supreme burrito and it blew me away! The red sauce is heavenly and pairs perfectly with their chips and salsa. The atmosphere feels cozy and inviting, and the staff treats you like family. Portions are HUGE, and the prices are incredibly affordable. I go here every time I'm in town and have yet to be disappointed. Can't recommend enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the flavor was good, the service was far from satisfactory. I had to wait over 30 minutes for my meal despite a not very crowded restaurant. The beef burrito I had was decent, but it was nothing memorable. I would consider giving it another try down the line, but it may not be my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start with the good: the flavors of the food are delightful! I really enjoyed the red enchiladas, but, wow, the service left much to be desired. We waited far too long for our food, and my server seemed scattered and distracted. The atmosphere was also on the shabby side. I'd recommend takeout, as the food is really good; it just isn't the best place to dine in. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a lovely little restaurant I discovered while passing through Roswell. The atmosphere was charming, albeit a bit run-down, which added to its unique character. The food was what truly stood out though! I had the chicken enchiladas smothered in red chile sauce, and they were bursting with flavor. The portion sizes were impressive, and I thought the prices were extremely fair for the quality. The staff was friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. Overall, a fantastic experience and I will certainly be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Popo's is honestly some of the best Mexican I have tasted outside of my grandmother's kitchen. The homemade corn tortillas are fantastic! The service is friendly but can sometimes be a bit slow. The decor might be simple, but it’s comfortable and laid-back. Their enchiladas were truly authentic and I appreciated the generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming here for years and never had a bad meal. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere is casual—perfect for a laid-back dinner. My favorite dish has to be the carne adovada; it’s simply delicious! Popo's is a treasure for anyone who enjoys authentic New Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Popo's! Their food is so flavor-packed. I had the chicken enchiladas and the red sauce was just divine. Perfectly cooked and excellent presentation. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was casual and cozy. You get a lot of food for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food.
