Honestly used to love this place. Not sure what’s changed but the last couple times the experience wasn’t so great. The food is still very good it’s just everything else. We went a couple nights ago and the alcoholic drinks that we normally order came in what seemed to be smaller cups (yet pricing was the same). When I mentioned it to the waitress she said they always serve them this way. The irony is that we are locals and I had a picture of our last visit making a toast and even the margaritas were in a different cup. Then the service was just not at all attentive which is never good when your at a dine in atmosphere. Not sure what’s different- maybe because it’s off season. Just disappointed.

We started out at La Tapateria and fate found us at Pops Garage. Now my wife is a real authentic Mexican conosur and was surprised how much she liked the grilled corn and smothered plantains. I like the bar options with the Mexican food on the side. Think we will leave the kids home next time and sit near the bar so we can get into the feel of the place. The main dining room loses that pops garage energy a bit. Highly recommend if you are looking for a pleasant surprise on an old authentic Mexican tag line. Deffinitely do the grilled corn.

What a great Mexican spot right on the boardwalk! Had the quesadilla and added shrimp; it was so much food! The salsa was yummy and the vibe was cute. The staff was super friendly. I was here on a rainy Saturday in February, I can imagine it gets pretty packed during the summer.

Nice place to be on the boardwalk. Good menu selections. Service is a little slow and can be improved. I ordered soft shrimp tacos, but the tacos are so soft that it breaks. Chips and salsa is fresh and tasty. Chips are fried fresh and it’s warm to the touch. Only been here once so my review are solely on that experience.

Went with a friend on a busy Sunday afternoon… my 1st time there. Our server was fantastic.. fast & friendly, and recommended a few things. 1st we had the chips with guac… OMG!! BEST I’ve ever had! So addictive!! Then we had tacos.. I had the shrimp which were just as delicious!! I was so tempted to buy more to take home! This will be my 1st stop next time I’m there!

I had an awful experience today at Pop’s. I sat outdoors for lunch. No server came to the table, so I went to the counter to ask to place my order. I never was served water, cutlery or napkins. We had to ask for them. We never got a check either, and I again went to the register to pay. We ordered tacos and sushi, which were fine. I’ve never been to a restaurant with this lack of service. Although I’m a local, I had never eaten there before.
