We are from LA, wanting a taste of home. Last night we had sandwiches, so this was our night to splurge. We had looked over the menu online, were starving, and we were going to have appetizers, entrees, beers, coffee, and dessert. We figured we would spend 80 – 100 euros.
So it was raining, and we got there 10 – 15 minutes before opening. The «hostess» did not look happy to see us. We told her we knew we were early, and she interrupted with a sarcastic «yes, you are.» We asked if we could wait inside, since it was raining, and she made a face, shrugged, and walked away.
She went about going in and out of various rooms, ignoring us. At 5:07 (they open at 5), we got up and left. It was very insulting. When we have arrived early at other restaurants, we have been seated, asked what we wanted to drink, and told it would be a few minutes until we could order. Understood. We were obviously not Dutch, obviously wet and cold. Did she ever hear of hospitality? Making patrons feel at home? Or… just being nice? They lost about 100 euros of business. We would not recommend this business.

Nice Mexican restaurant. Super friendly staff and the interior is just so cool and over the top Mexican: colours, plastic, flowers, day of the dead decorations = Love it!
The prices here are very reasonable. Dishes have very generous size. The food is also good (though it is not very classic Mexican). This restaurant has various locations through the country, also in Haarlem (which is also a fun one!). They also sell all kinds of cocktails. One of my favourite Mexican restaurants.
Yes, I’m a fan of Popo :) The food might not be the best Mexican food you’ve ever tasted, but still, it’s good. In combination with the staff and décor it makes this restaurant very loveable.

Nachos, friends and a pitcher of Strawberry Margaritas: What’s not to love?!
