Poppo's Taqueria

FOOD: I am on a diet. The man behind the counter was very accommodating to my needs. I had a salad with no rice, no beans, romain AND arugla, chicken, cheese, pico, and guac (guac costs extra). The salad was fresh and crunchy but my chicken was neither exceptionally juicy nor tender. To be fair, it is made in advance and sits in a warmer until they serve you (they don't reheat meat for salad but it would probably wilt it anyways). My husband had some sort of meal that came with three tacos and he tried each one if the meats (chicken/pork/steak). They grilled his tortillas fresh as he ordered and his meat did go onto the tortillas while they were on the grill to re-heat it. He got a glass bottled soda. I tried to opt for a diet soda but they don't offer any so I tried to get a water instead. The soda machine wasn't name brand which was fine by me; but it ONLY offers carbonated water... that was a surprise to me. I just got ice and poured my water bottle into the cup instead.

VIBE: The place was clean and modern. No straws, but the cups and covers are plastic. If you dine in, they give you either a basket lined with wax paper or a stainless steel bowl. The smells of cooking meat (in the morning) while we were working next door brought us in.

PRICE: It was $30.16 for 3 tacos, a SMALL diabetic/keto friendly salad (filled up just over half the small bowl but you could have set a book on top without concern of your book getting dirty), a single bottled soda ($3?), and guac. We did not recieve nor were we offered a reciept so I can't give a breakdown of the charges. We missed the sign on the door when we walked in that states they do NOT ACCEPT CASH.

I know some people love it.. but I don't shop regularly at places that don't accept cash. Will not be back.

Food is fantastic! Much better than Chipotle. Can tell it's made with high quality ingredients at a fair price. Liz and Ricky helped me put together a great flavour combo!

Fresh tortillas pressed and fried up as chips right in front of you! All of their toppings are fresh and delicious also 🤤

Gourmet and Jarritos sodas and frozen fruit pops... Perfect for taco Tuesday!

I am visiting St Pete for a real estate conference and needed a place to eat. One of the locals pointed me towards Poppos. It was an excellent choice. The environment was clean and casual. The British guy behind the counter was very nice. There was an outdoor order window for those with their pets. The ingredients tasted Uber fresh and flavorful. I had a salad bowl. I also ordered a side of chips. I think they were were made from tortillas and freshly cooked to order with the refreshing salsa. I would definitely recommend this place. You won’t leave disappointed. Thanks everyone!
