Recommended by a friend, and it might be the best Mexican Restaurant in Kansas City Area! The food was authentic and incredible! Balanced flavor, perfect spice level, fantastic mouth feel - you just gotta go!

We always have a great experience at Popi's! The food was delicious and the service was great. The hostess usually remembers us. The place is always clean and you can count on sports (soccer) playing on the tv.

The Burrito Popi's is the absolute best. The carnitas in any form is fantastic (but especially in the burrito with the garlicky sauce on top). This place is always a hit. They have good quesadillas and cheese dip too. Just keep an eye out for bones in the shredded chicken, we've had that come up a couple of times. Overall we love the new place and we'll keep coming back.

This was my first visit to Popi's. The food was fresh and delicious! The portions were very big. I'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu.

Went in for Taco Tuesday, it was very busy which usually means the food is good! And it was! We got the four taco special, chicken with soft shells. The tacos were each very big and the chips and salsa were delicious.

Popi’s is a Peculiar icon! I eat here at least once a week with family or co-workers and every single time the food is cooked to perfection and the service is outstanding! The new location is well done. Large dining area with ample seating, clean, and inviting. We have utilized their online ordering service several times already and the process was easy and food hot and fresh at pick up. Our small town is incredibly lucky to have such a gem so close!

Love their food and they are close enough to highway to veer off and visit Peculiar. Shrimp fajitas give me three meals. 2 adult shrimp and chicken lunch specials, 1 cheese fajitas for 3 yr old, and a margaritas for 41 bucks b4 tip. Crave their food, because each dish has a distinct taste and lunch specials come with sour cream and guacamole. Casual, lots of booth seating.
