Loncheria El Popo Review

Image
El Popo's menu is quite simple having only four menu items and the prices simply can't be beat at $2.50 per burger. Side dishes are limited to chips and serrano peppers while drinks include Mexican sodas. We went to the McPherson location which is hidden behind La Carreta at the end of a cul-de-sac. Fake exposed brick, white walls, steel tables and wide windows gave a fresh vibe to our 5 p.m. evening meal.

Simplicity is key to their establishment and though their location seems to be sitting in a "nook and cranny" spot, they had a steady crowd flowing in and out throughout our meal.

Yun Cuisine

Yun Cuisine is a new authentic Asian restaurant in north Laredo. The best part about this menu is that Chef Zhou ("Joe") stresses the importance of using natural ingredients, meaning antibiotic-free and hormone-free meat, cage-free eggs, and organic non-GMO vegetables--all bought fresh and prepared in-house. Food just tastes better when you have the best ingredients and that's the kind of quality Yun Cuisine provides. Chicken Dumplings We ordered chicken dumplings to start and the chicken was so moist and juicy inside while the outside wrap maintained a stickiness. It never fell apart and held its shape well through bites and dips into the paired traditional southern China dumpling sauce. Dumplings held shape Sukiyaki Udon with mixed seafood This udon noodle soup in a clear broth was light and filling with a clean flavor. The shrimp and all vegetables were cooked evenly. It sang of freshness and was the perfect companion to a chilly day. Kimchi ra...
