El Popo

Ok Mexican place in Warsaw. It’s a Mexican-​Polish fusion with excellent service and good «daily» new dishes. Family tacos are quite good and margaritas worth it. Some plates are Tex-​Mex (burritos, fajitas) and others are more traditional Mexican (soft tacos in corn tortillas).
Recommended for lunch or dinner. Reservation is suggested for larger tables on pick hours.

This is a colleague’s favorite place to go for lunch (he works just down the street), but I just can’t share his enthusiasm for it.
Service was very friendly (a very cute blond waiter either had a tic or was winking at me, and my hope are it is the latter).
The quesadilla (which you can ask to have «doubled,») won the raves of my colleague (and it looks really really good). My grilled chicken salad with pomegranate was served SWIMMING in a cloying, too-​sweet dressing, which made the lettuce limp and just made eating it a drippy, unappetizing experience. It was HUGE, too, and I ended up leaving half of it behind.
Like many Mexican restaurants, you are first plied with chips and salsa, and the salsas are really good, which is why there are three stars here instead of two. I also really like the interior/​décor of the restaurant. it’s fun, and in Poland, you need to have fun.

Heard some nice reviews about this place (Warsaw’s best Mexican) and I’m gonna have to agree. I had a beautiful dinner there. It’s on a pricier side but they do deliver. Margarita’s were blah but I didn’t come there for drinks I came for the food. We had guacamole to start, ceviche and pomegranate salad for starters (amazing), shrimp fajitas and steak burrito as main dish. Ok, that pomegranate salad was one of the best salads I ever had, (really recommend)

Supposons que vous en ayez assez de manger des choux et des kébabs. Dans ce cas, pourquoi né pas vous laisser tenter par un repas mexicain? Possibilité d’accueillir des groupes au sous-​sol.

Strangely for a restaurant owned by one of Poland’s serial restauranteurs, this place does not seem to have a website, but I guess you can imagine what a Mexican restaurant looks like, that is to say, it’s very Mexican-​themed with terracotta tones and an Aztec mural.
There is a rather nice terrace /​balcony overlooking the street and I sat out here with two colleagues recently and had a reliably good, but not overtly impressive meal.
We had the usual chips-​and-​dips whilst ordering, a mixed starter plate for three and I chose a steak for my main.
Overall, the quality of the food was good, especially the steak which was cooked to perfection and rare, just as I had ordered it, but Mexican food is not the most sophisticated of cuisines and there is only so much you can do with it.
Service and décor were all fine, location is not great (a side street with no view in the middle of town) but basically fine, and the prices were ok-​ish considering the quality of the ingredients.
Definitely worth a try if you are in the mood.
