Popo's Mexican Food, nestled in Roswell, NM, is a culinary treasure that has captured the hearts and appetites of locals and visitors alike. According to customer reviews, the restaurant excels in offering authentic Mexican flavors at remarkably fair prices. Highlights from their menu include the renowned stuffed sopapillas and delectable burrito plates, both of which showcase the homemade essence that patrons rave about. One enthusiastic reviewer, Chris Danger, declares it a hidden gem, particularly praising their red enchiladas, which he suggests may be the best in town. April Detrick echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the cozy, small-town atmosphere where each dish feels freshly prepared. Customers can also indulge in a variety of options like chimichangas, enchiladas, and more, all wonderfully complemented by friendly service from the dedicated waitstaff. Complete your meal with their famous sopapillas, a consistent crowd favorite, or enjoy a refreshing margarita, as suggested by others. However, amid the rave reviews lies a peculiar story shared by a customer about a romantic dinner turned mysterious. Despite this outlier, the overall consensus is clear: Popo's Mexican Food offers an exceptional dining experience that makes every visit memorable. For those seeking flavorful Mexican cuisine served with a smile, Popo's is undoubtedly worth exploring.

Popo's is a hidden gem in Roswell. The food tastes great and the waitresses do a good job. The price is beyond fair and their daily specials are an amazing deal. This place probably has has the best red enchiladas in town. I can't say this for certain, because I haven't tried them all, but they definitely have my favorite. Their hours are short, but it makes this place special and ensures they only provide the freshest food.

My wife went missing shortly after we ate dinner at Popos. It has been over a year and I miss her so much. I took here there for our anniversary dinner and we both ordered the been fajitas, they were amazing! The guacamole was so fresh and flavorful and they make a mean margarita too! If anyone has any information about what happened to my wife please contact me or the Roswell police department.

Food was terrific. I got the steak and burrito plate, the number 12, and it was amazing. Also ORDER THE SOPAPILLAS!!! They are delicious. Friendly waitresses, small-town atmosphere with friendly chatter in the back kitchen.

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 coming back here.
