Popo's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Roswell

From the second we walked in I felt a mountain of stares and hard looks my way. The service was horrible, food was completely inedible with the rice being dry and crunchy at 12pm! They had only been open for an hour at that point which was confusing for the lack of quality in their food. The lack of airflow, awful smell, slow and rude service made it hard to find any form of enjoyment here. The entire time we waited for our food (we order it out) I kept catching everyone including staff looking at me constantly. As the only Asian American in the restaurant it was hard to not feel like an outsider and unwelcome here. Saw the positive reviews and good rating so we thought we'd give it a try but never again. Stay away... Don't get my stared in the horrible parking situation... there are better and cleaner options just...

What a wonderful little restaurant! A fairly small menu that's mostly Mexican with a few American foods (a salad, a club sandwich and a burger) and everything else dowsed in red or green chile.

I had a supreme burrito since it had both sauces and while the burrito was just a burrito, the sauces were very very good. The red sauce is especially tasty, with a little bite and a ton of chile flavor. It's one of the more rich red sauces I've tasted (but, fair warning, I am from the south and our Mexican is a LOT different overall.)

Not only did it seem like a family run kind of place, but the servers seemed to know everyone who came in for lunch, and everyone dining in seemed to know each other, too. It really made the place feel like a bit of a hidden gem.

Next time I'm in Roswell, I'm definitely...

Convinced we were the only humans in the building, the food was flavorless and cooked weird. I'm sure if you were from another planet they would cook you up a good cuisine. For human standards - subpar. Definitely not Mexican food but more like Mexican food flavored La Croix- the idea of Mexican food really. A supreme burrito was anything but! Dry chicken in a cold tortilla with green paste (guacamole?) on the side. They forgot the sour cream and sprinkle bag cheese was microwave melted on top. I think the servers were also not from earth, we put in multiple requests (like no meat, for my vegetarian sister) yet were brought meat burritos, asked for green sauce but yet got red sauce. A burrito plate of two burritos costs the same as one burrito. Maybe these aliens haven't figured out human numerical...
