La Popular Food Company — Restaurant in Denver

Was super excited to get in here & check it out, try some thing's as I'm new to the neighborhood & seen all the great review's. What am I missing here? Was it just a bad day?I got one of each tamale to try, green was good, I'll give them that, red was disappointing- the meat was a grainy texture. I got a pack of supposedly fresh corn tortillas? Got home made taco's super stoked, then sadly😞 disappointed! They were thin, rubbery, chewy, & heated up they just became hard like a tostada shell without oil...like WTF ? It was like a first time attempt that didn't go well. Good if your making your own corn chips I guess?🤷 Also all the breads I was expecting to be yummmm but were ALL basic, almost like a mass chain produced & not baked there?... Mehhhh was disappointed it won't be my go to store like I was hoping for, I'll stick to my panderia over in...

I will not shop here again on principle. As I was picking up some food for myself I saw a person's food stamps turned away. Walking out and talking I eventually asked if she would like a breakfast burrito. In I went to go grab 2. The owner turned to me and asked me to be honest, "are you buying this for her?" To which I replied honestly yes..(why lie?). He said he wouldn't sell them to me for fear of a line of beggars. I walked out with her refused service. It is a sad thing to see fear take over people instead of step into situations.

The b-fast burritos are okay and I have not tried the tamales, but I will not try them...

I came here and was ready to order enchiladas. I asked if they had red sauce or red chili, and was told by the employee that the enchiladas only come with green sauce. I asked her "do you not have red sauce at all?" She told me that they do but that they only put it on the tamales. I have eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants in my life and I have never once been told that I cannot have enchiladas with red sauce at a place that has it. It is a bizarre policy to say the least and one that makes it unlikely that I will patronize this establishment again. Prices also seemed high compared to other bakeries and Mexican...
