Popo’s in Glendale AZ at 4:30pm…already packed.
My husband is a fan of Popo’s Fiesta Del Sol Mexican Restaurant. This family friendly restaurant serves Sonoran Style Mexican Food. I like that this restaurant is close to home and we don’t “Paso Much” here. It seems that all of Glendale AZ LOVES Popo’s because a Phenomenon has been going on here for the past several weeks. We also have a lot of tourist here this time of year since it was spring training time so it may be that some of the crowd are tourist. Anyway Popo’s is always the busiest restaurant that I know of in the immediate area. This is the only restaurant that I know of in these parts of Glendale (North Glendale) that goes on an hour wait before 4:30pm. Over the past few weeks we’ve been trying to get in around 5:00pm and they were on an hour wait so we left and went some place else so this week we tried to get in extra early at 4:30 and they were already packed and on an hour wait.
Also Packed at Bar at 4:30
One of the best things that Popo’s offers are the complimentary Hot Basket of Chips and delicious…and usually very spicy salsa.
The salsa is the best that I know of in these parts of town.
The $3.75 margaritas are incredibly strong. You might not be able to finish more than one. If you finish two of these margaritas I do warn you that you might see Forking Pink Elephants. Believe me…It’s truly impossible to drink more than two….
Over the years I tried several things on the menu and I concluded the only thing I enjoy is the Chicken Fajita Salad. Don’t get the wrong impression about the food. I am not a big fan of Sonoran Style Food and there is nothing wrong about enjoying Sonoran Style Food. I’m just keeping it real because after all it’s The Forking Truth……. I do note that I do usually find this salad tasty and satisfying. It doesn’t contain all the grease, rice, beans and sauces I don’t care for in Sonoran Style Food.
The Fajita Salad is a simply a tasty hefty salad. It’s a bowl of romaine topped with olives avocado tomato and sautéed onions, (sometimes peppers) Cheese, and nicely seasoned chicken.
My husband enjoys several dishes on the Popo’s Menu.
For this dinner he got the Carnitas’s Fajitas. Sorry for the blurred picture.
Lots of tender meat on a sizzling hot skillet with a side plate of refried beans, Mexican Style sour cream (it’s thicker than regular sour cream), pico, guacamole and tortillas. (corn or flour)
“Popo’s is a Glendale AZ Phenomenon.” ” Most times of the year they are usually on an hour wait by 5:pm.”
