La Popular Taqueria — Restaurant in Adelaide

Been wanting to try this place and we were well overdue for some good Mexican. The tacos were pretty damn good buuuut… there was a few minor issues that led me to giving 3 stars instead of 4.

We got the guac and chips as a starter, guac was nice but the chips (albeit probably more authentic) were quite hard and flavourless. Also, I actually didn’t get what I ordered and received a beef taco instead of a chicken one. Luckily the beef one was delicious but still a mistake nevertheless. Even check the receipt to confirm they got my order correct and sure enough it had a chicken taco on there so not sure what happened there. Lastly, while the food was tasty, it is pretty pricey. We paid $85 for 3 tacos each (6 total) and chips and guac. No drinks or dessert. So it’s a premium. Oh and it’s a small venue and it was quite loud with the tables being fairly close together.

Overall though not a bad experience so 3 stars...

This is a honest review, it was my first time comming here with my gf, we were having very high expectations as a friend recommended it. We choose the share menu $98 for both, thinking that would be lots of food, we start with the pork crackles and chips was very nice but we only got a tiny little bit of guac with salsa. After that we got the soup that was delicious however the serve was smaller than a cup, then we got some different sort of tacos everything was good but once they brought the mains, I ordered a double serve of tortillas to get full. A little disappointing as my main dish was a lot rice, beans and little chicken. To finalise we order the dessert looks amazing but the caramel was burnt making taste really bitter we couldn't eat it. Anyway I appreciate the big effort you do for the mexican culture, but I feel like the portions should be...

I would recommend coming here for delicious traditional Mexican cusine, fantastic service and a cosy atmosphere. Dined with 9 last night. We ordered three guac and chips, three pork cracklings and two serves of Flautas for starters. All highly enjoyed the starters and they were able to cater for a member of the group that was vegan (I got - guac + chips, vegan flauta). Server recommended three tacos per person, which I would suggest is the minimum if you are a large eater. I selected all three tacos from the veg/vegan menu. Hongos (mushroom, garlic and salsa), Calabacitas (zucchini, sweet corn and salsa) and the Baja style cauliflower (cauliflower, pico de gallo, shredded cabbage). These were delicious, my favourite being the Baja style cauliflower. I would rate this 4.7 due to the small size of the tacos (traditional sizes) you need to order a...
