La Pop's — Restaurant in Abilene

Love La Pop! Only rated a 4 for this past experience which was not the norm.

• The good points: * Location is kept up, colorful and inviting. Very culturally and personally touched by the family and staff.

Order taking is easy and staff friendly. Very casual vibes but quick and efficient.

Food - home cooked and tastes authentic, great! Lots of variety - especially for burritos.

• Cons (this visit) * Perhaps it's because it had been some time since my last visit, or because we had a big order for a group but seemed a little overpriced. 3 per burrito - makes sense for perhaps a carne guisada or smoked sausage one, not so much for egg/potato or been/cheese imo. Tbf they make sure burritos are good size.

Taste - this time for me personally I found the chorizo & egg lacking. Too much bland egg, not enough chorizo made for a bland burrito. Carne guisada was too salty this time for me. I didn't desire or worry to eat the last...

As a Texican whose family has for generations called Tejas, my beloved state, you all know as the great state of Texas, home long time before this great state became part of the United States of America. My family jokingly say, we didn't cross the border, the border crossed us. We have lived and loved these beautiful, blessed parts enjoying true Mexican cuisine from recipes handed down from generations. La Pop's food comes close to my family's home cooked recipes. They've added some Tex-Mex flair, but never-the-less, most definitely the closest homecookng Mexican food around. Don't be fooled by other expensive and fancy restaurants. Nothing comes closer to my family's home cooked recipes than La Pop. Take a step back to the past days of yesteryear and allow yourself to experience what homemade Mexican food with a touch of Tejano flair is truly made. Your tummy...

The food is BOMB. So good. I rated it low because of the lack of communication and punctuality. This past Sunday I drove to the location and arrived at 6:50. Now the normal sign says 6am but I saw a paper printed and posted on the door stating new hours of 7am. Weighing my options since I was on a time crunch, I figured the food was worth it, and 10 minutes to open and maybe another 10 minutes to get my order would be OK. 7am comes and nothing. I saw workers going inside prior to, so I'm questioning whats going on. 7:10 comes and I'm turning my car on to leave when I see the open sign and front lights finally turn on. Myself and other customers finally can go in. Not a huge deal if it's a Sunday morning and your maybe grabbing breakfast and heading home. If you're on a lunch or time restriction of any kind, it's not convenient or...
