Loncheria El Popo

Loved the burger, super fast service. They cook the food right in front of you! Clean welcoming atmosphere.

If you are from Laredo or have friends/family from Laredo, they will tell you this is a staple for them. The food is Mexican style hamburger themed and the lemonade was delicious! Overall, the menu is simple and straightforward. We ordered the hamburger with cheese, the shredded beef and the wiener with cheese (wiener and cheese was my favorite). The service was great and ambience was small and welcoming. Overall, it's a nice deviation from traditional Tex mex.

Small menu, but terrific food. Two sandwiches went a long way. Reasonably priced. Co-worker recommended this place.

Theis hard working crew are a master class on how to do things right. Sit down and a counter worker will come to you and take your order. It's an easy menu, and you can add avocado, cheese, etc to your choice of meat on a bun. Mexican Cokes, bottled water, and Lays potato chips complete the offerings. While you're waiting a small bowl of Serranos en escabeche and your drink and chips are served. Piping hot, on real plates, it's just the best! Check the photos for a current snapshot of the still very reasonable prices.

I highly recommend Loncheria El Popo for someone who is trying something new verses the regular burger. I guarantee once you try it, you'll be wanting to come back for more. Keeping the menu small makes it easier to know that the food is fresh.

Great sandwiches! Friendly staff! First time there so didn't know what to expect. Limited menu but delicious. Would go back again!

First time. Choice of five sandwiches, one of which is vegan (avocado, lettuce, tomato). I had the "roast beef", my friend had the "cheeseburger". Both were excellent. Buns are toasted. They are on the small size, though. So if hungry get two. At $3.99 each, definitely worth it! No fries but can get Lays potato chips and a bottled soda for extra.

Simple menu. So delicious! Great people. I tell everyone i know about this gem of a restaurant.

Great hamberger with great pepper. Good friendly help. Pronto service. The price is very inexpensive.

This is one of those hidden gems that everyone should know about. It's located in a shopping strip on San Pedro near Oblate. The menu is limited but thats okay because it's what they do best. The lonches may be small in size but that are big on flavor and low in price. One was plenty for me, but someone with a bigger appetite may need more. We ordered the hamburguesa and the jamon and trust me they did not disappoint. They were so juicy and full of flavor. I highly recommend. PS- This establishment was very clean and the service was fast and super friendly.
