4/2022 update: back again and they were busy, as usual. We all meet here twice a year and as A large group so it can be difficult to get seated but they were helpful.
Original post:
A favorite for decades though we don't make it over here often. Should've realized that we needed to call ahead though I'm not sure they'll take a reservation for only 3 people. When we arrived, around 11:30 on a Sunday, we were told it'd be about a 30 min. Wait but they didn't ask for my husband's name or number to actually get him in line for a table. It wasn't until I went back in and asked if we could bring out chips and salsa that I found this out. ????
So, we finally actually have our names in and see someone come out with chips and salsa. We'll, I went back in and asked again and found out we could order them. I Really wish they'd said sometime the 1st and 2nd time I'd gone in, especially when I mentioned my husband being diabetic. So, we ordered, got them and were soon brought in to eat.
It took a bit to get water and a bowl of chips. The staff were wonderful so running all over. The food was good, as always. In the end, we learned a bit that I hope will help us and others the next time we go.
It's been about 3 or 4 years since I've been back here. I have missed this place so much! We ordered takeout Saturday and drove it back to Avondale and it held its temperature. The pollo especial is the absolute best and it fed me for 2 days lol. Portions are GREAT! Chips are not greasy! Everything is flavorful! The only complaint I would have is that I paid for the hot salsa and I was given the mild chunky one. Fyi tge picked was after I smothered it in more jalapeno cream cheese lol. Otherwise it was nicely arranged lol.

We been here 2x and this was our 3rd time and like always the food is delicious. As you can see they serve a good amount of food which is great. Chips and salsa is unlimited. The chips were freshly made which was so good! Salsa is not too spicy is mild but delicious. Great prices as well. Will be coming back. Service was great as well.

This used to be my favorite place for authentic Mexican food but recently I ordered pick up for a birthday and 1 order was wrong, my order was a mess couldn't tell what it was... I know now get your chimi ala cart when ordering pick up and everything on the side.. the rice and flavor of the food otherwise is amazing!!! If you haven't been here before I suggest dining in never had a bad meal or experience

Another favorite dish and spot!!!
Super busy, however they were able to get us in quick, taken care of with no mistakes, and without feeling rushed.
Unfortunately for them I did get sick (I came from the hospital not their fault lol)
And blew chucks quietly in a to go bag so not to disturb anyone eating. However the bag didn't hold up and it soaked through the bottom. I felt horrible for the staff.Yes I cleaned it, but still... it's my responsibility.
The staff here amazing
the food was delicious
The atmosphere great
We will be back for sure, just not after a hospital visit!

Well this has been a long time coming, as far as me writing a review of POPO's. I am a native Phoenician and have enjoying this place my whole life. What can I say that hasn't been said by many people over and over again. It is a perennial top five Mexican food restaurant in the state of Arizona in my humble opinion. Every item I've had over the years has been nothing short of great. Now here is a little secret that many don't no about unless you go there often, those margaritas ooooohhh those margaritas will get you where you need to go in a hurry either frozen or traditional. You can thank me later. Lol. The only semi critique that I have and it's more of a want then a need is that if they could sell those margaritas (all flavors) in a half gallon closed container to take home, they would make a killing for sure. Go and have one on me. Happy eating!!!
