" I had the opportunity to try this place, and the flavors captured my palate completely! The menudo was just right, enough spice to not overwhelm but to definitely make it memorable. The portions are very generous, and staff was quite friendly. You can tell they care about the community. I’ll surely recommend this to friends visiting Tijuana! " (*Curated Review*)

" The caldo was nice but I wasn't particularly impressed. The atmosphere felt a bit chaotic during peak hours. However, the service was quite good and the people working there were friendly. I wish I could have experienced it when it’s less busy. Overall, I think I could give it another shot on a less crowded day. " (*Curated Review*)

" The menudo was really good, but I felt that it could use a bit more seasoning to elevate it further. Their tortillas were fantastic, fluffy and fresh. The dining experience was pleasant and the service was fine, but I expected a bit more from the overall ambiance. If they improve these little things, it would be a 5-star experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" So I visited on a busy weekend and was totally wowed! The menudo was fantastic, flavorful and hearty. I opted for the quesadilla too and it was so cheesy—definitely worth it! The seating is very communal, which I thought was a great way to meet new people. Just a heads up, it was busy so you might have to wait a bit, but the food was definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Popeye is a must-visit in Tijuana if you're craving authentic menudo. Their handmade tortillas are a highlight, and the dish itself is always served hot and fresh. One visit, I noticed the flavors were particularly robust and rich, adding to the enjoyable experience. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pretty good menudo! I expected it to be better based on the reviews but it was decent. The portion sizes were generous, and I enjoyed the warm ambiance though it felt a little cramped at times. I appreciated the attentive service though, they really make sure you’re taken care of. I might be persuaded to return to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying the menudo here due to all the rave reviews but I have to admit it fell short of my expectations. The food was good but not extraordinary, and the service was fine but nothing to write home about. Still, it's a nice little spot if you're in the area and in the mood for something warm. " (*Curated Review*)
