Pop Fizz

To be clear, I didn't actually go to the Pop Fizz brick and mortar shop! We snagged some paletas from the food truck in Hyder Park. I'd been wanting to try Pop Fizz since last year, but with COVID was unable to! They were the perfect after dinner treat on a very hot day! We ended up getting the sandia (watermelon), raspberry and lime. Each one was DELICIOUS! The fruit flavor was so real and we kept trading so that we could have a bit of each. Definitely recommend the paletas. If you see that truck, run to it! We will hopefully get to try more from their shop some time in the future!

Though my fellow Yelpers who I/we hold in great esteem lauded this Pop Fizz...Unfortunately, my experience was severely lacking. The Paleta Bar of my fav Coffee dipped in Dark Chocolate bathed in Almonds was not all that. The bar, pulled from a "back freezer" was freezer burned dry tasting ice. The chocolate was pasty and didn't adhere. This crammed little store had poor ventilation. This Pop Fizz seemed more like a nuclear frozen waste station/Ice Station Zebra . Obviously, my Paleta adventures of New Mexico have hit a temporary (we bloody hope) hurdle. Thanks for reading. Cdr. Avram Ferraday

Service: the working was super cool and really helpful! He was all around awesome and helped me set up my Apple Pay because I forgot my wallet. Food: so I ordered the churro ice cream with chocolate and coco pebbles, ummmm yeah that ish was delish! The churros were so fresh and tasty! Me and the three girls I came with were able to share my dessert. The girls got a popsicle with Chile on it? I am not sure what it was, but they really enjoyed their snacks too! We for sure will be back!!!

I haven't tried the permanent locale only the ice cream truck. All natural ingredients all in a delectable treat. Pop fizz is a paleta truck more than anything, with flavors of Mango Habanero, to Cucumber Chile Lime to Cafe con Leche. They also have these ice cream sandwiches and tacos. If you run into their ice cream truck, chase it for a nice treat.

Hands down 5 stars for the paletas! I have been here many times since they were at the old location and will keep coming back for those frozen treats! They have all of the typical flavors made with real fruit! Occasionally they come out with limited edition flavors that are always worth a taste. They have a nice outside patio to enjoy your treats as well as a small indoor seating area. The owners are very nice and always up for conversation. This most recent visit I tried the food for the first time ever. The Hot Cheetos Carne Asada Fries were calling to me. They were mostly delicious except for the insane amount of salt on the fries which made them inedible. The rest of the concoction was otherwise good. I wish there was more meat for the price. I ordered a side of regular fries for the kids as well and those were over salted as well. My fry loving children didn't eat more than a few each. I'll stick to the sweets next time I'm there. That is where Pop Fizz shines!

Our favorite spot for the summer. Great service and nice military discount or Yelp discount for checking in. We were lucky enough to be there for some live music, not sure how often they do that though. My favorite is the chocolate dipped coconut paleta. Tastes just like an almond joy. So good! My kid's favorites are the mango paleta in the chamoy and chili salt, they also are obsessed with the coffee paleta. The Mexican chocolate paleta and Jamaican raspberry are pretty yummy too. Tried the carne Asada and that was so good too. Extra chipotle mayo please! Yummy!

I frequently pass by this place on my way to school so I decided to stop by one day after class. The staff is friendly and help if you're not sure on what to order. I initially ordered the mango habanero paleta, wanted to try a hot and cold combination. I then remembered to check in and that's when I found out there was a check in offer for a chocolate dipped paleta. So I got a pineapple flavored paleta dipped in chocolate. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the mango habanero paleta. Something about the hot and cold just made it weirdly delicious. My chocolate dipped pineapple paleta was not bad but I was not too sold on a sweet on top of sweet combination.

What popsicle shop do you expect to have a drool inducing loaded fries??? Pop Fizz!! Not only they offer a delicious variety of Mexican style popsicles (coconut, watermelon, strawberries, strawberries & banana, and tons more), but also ice cream, ice cream Tacos, burritos, and. Those. Delicious. Loaded. Golden. Fries!!! Yes. Fries. I'm going gaga over it because they are topped with meat, cheese, some secret sauce with a tiny kick and comes with legit guacamole and sour cream. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! After I gobbled up my mango popsicle I shamelessly inhaled two heaping servings of those fries, pushing aside the fact that my husband just told me he wanted to go out for dinner AND I don't regret it because my belly is very happy. Yup. I'm coming back. Oh they are generous and will give you a check in discount offer so don't forget to use your Yelp app

Yeah, this place is awesome! We were the only people inside, which surprised me. Carne asada fries were like the best guilty hangover food.... Hot cheetos fries with nacho cheese sauce was freaking awesome! Popsicles were pretty cool too with some fun flavors. Even got a free one with Yelp check in! Highly recommend!

This place deserves all the five star reviews that it's gotten. The two brothers running this business (one is the chef, the other the cashier) are very nice. The place is clean and small and tucked right "inside" the Hispanic cultural center. After all the top reviews my wife and I ordered a pair of carne asada burritos. These come with: sour cream, guacamole, carne asada, french fries, cotija cheese, cheddar cheese, beans, and chipotle mayo. The tortilla was grilled on the outside and a little crispy. All these flavors meld together for a delicious taste and topped with some fiery hot sauce, are a true winner. After eating this fiery food, a cold treat is made to order. I tried the avocado paleta and was pleasantly surprised. It was refreshing, smooth, and not too sweet. They also had a kombucha, ginger, lime paleta that I was eyeing. Next time it goes in my belly!

Oh my! I was so impressed with the big flavors packed into this menu! I was tasked with getting lunch for the coworkers at our in-town work retreat. I ordered a variety off the menu, Cuban sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, loaded nachos, loaded French fries and the churros w/chocolate sauce! Boom! Wow! Yum! Everyone loved every bite! The turkey sandwich had cheese, green chile, and avocado....AMAZING! I added jalapeños to the Cubano sandwiches and that was also a big hit! I only ate half my turkey sandwich cause that churro was calling my name! Yummy! I can't wait to take my husband here. The staff is great and ordering for a big group was no problem for them. They are pros!

Great food, local beer, sweets and treats! I said it once in my photo, and I'll say it again here. The el ranchero burrito is the star of the show in terms of the savory eats. Let me break it down for you. This burrito features delicious, spicy, tender (and a generous portion of) carne adovada, AND bacon! Ahhhhhh! That's so crazy. Wait, it gets better. It has, cheese, FRENCH FRIES, red chile and a little bit of sour cream. Am I missing anything? Oh, yeah. This thing was approximately the size of my toddler. All that for $7.99. I dream about this thing. Seriously. Ok not really...'cuz that would be weird, right? ;) The asada fries are ok, I'm not a huge fan of mayo on my fries, even if it is chipotle mayo. The asada itself was very yummy. I will be going back for that burrito again and again, believe you me. Do yourself a favor as well and go try it like yesterday. :)

Typically I love to support local businesses and prefer to give them my business above chains in the area, but I will not be coming back here ever again. We usually bring out of town guests for a treat, I take kids I babysit and at the very least, once a month we come before the happy arte hour and get a popsicle, a snack and a beverage. Quality has continued to decline over the last 8 months but it was convenient so I dealt with it. Not anymore. I first noticed that they closed the window that opens to the ballroom. I understand staffing issues, but it was a hassle because the place is very small and gets congested easily. It's very confusing where the line is, or who is in line because so many people are just standing around. At least in the past, you could order, take a seat and they would come out and call your name. This last time we ordered food the girl at the register told me that we had to wait in the pop fizz lobby or outside. They WOULD NOT bring the food out to the ballroom. I asked when that changed and she said that her boss had just told her. No explanation, that's just the way it is... so why did we even tip? It really seems like a small inconvenience to them for the sake of making a customer happy, but whatever. We waited inside because we didn't want to stand outside in the hot sun and fight the flies off. We did say we wanted to food for "here" but it still came out smashed messily into a styrofoam container. The cheese was burnt, the avocado was bitter and the food was inferior. If I had the energy to fight the crowded, confusing lines, I would have returned it. What a mess. The guy yelling names (for the orders) was extremely rude and inconsiderate. I learned later that his name is Lorenzo. He actually came out and yelled (very rudely) to everyone in the room that if we ordered food it's probably waiting inside. I don't think people knew about the sudden change in policy. It was literally 3 extra steps to give a paying customer their food but for some reason they couldn't be bothered. But again, they still earned tips. I'm so appalled at the blatant disrespect for the customers. If there's some bad blood between the Happy arte hour and the paleteria, then that's between them, but shouldn't be taken out on PAYING customers. I realize that they get very busy for a short period while everyone shows up and gets settled, but it isn't anything new. I'm sure it's stressful, but I've been going for 8 months and I figured out to go early to avoid the crowds. There has been a sign posted that they are hiring, but I question the validity of that. I know of 2 qualified people who applied and never even got a call for an interview so it doesn't seem like hiring more staff is a priority. I talked with several other people and found they also felt dismissed and unappreciated for their business. I will miss the fun flavors and the novelty of taking out of town guests there and my monthly visits before happy arte hour, but I can't support a business that disrespects customers like that.

Pop Fizz is amazing! So happy my wife and I found it. Everything on the menu looks delicious. We just came for something sweet. Next will have to come for something savory. We had wonderful customer service experience. It's super clean inside, I love how colorful it is inside. Today we tried a vanilla chocolate taco and a lemon lavender popsicle ! Both were extremely amazing!

Nice dairy-free & egg-free concoctions. The cucumber & chile popsicle is my favorite thus far. This time I had the mango & habanero popsicle (dragon's breath.) I'd definitely have the cucumber over the mango. The menu also indicates snacks and light lunch items. Items are pretty pricey and not quite up to par for cost but hey it's the only place I've found like it til now. The staff is nice.

We visited this little restaurant in Albuquerque today located in the New Mexico Hispanic cultural center on 4th st. We had read how it was in a ghetto area but I beg to differ as I have been in much worse areas near the downtown central area. Let's start with the service. The service was very good and friendly. Next the food. The food was good nothing extraordinary but good. Portions were not large but were filling. Prices were a bit on the expensive side but were not outrageous. We had been wanting to visit this place for sometime and although it wasn't super it was not bad. It's a neat place to visit at least once.

I have visited Pop Fizz quite a few times and most of the time I left disappointed, but this most recent time, the Mexican Chocolate Paleta I ordered was amazing. Because of my previous experiences I didnt get any chocolate or toppings on it, ai just had the paleta in itself and I was very impressed. The food is pretty average. I have yet to try any of their agua frescas or any of their alcoholic drinks but I definitely will be coming back.

I really like this place a lot for the popsicles, but I made the mistake of getting a burrito. It was a bean, cheese and potato burrito and the potato's were actually French fries.It was loaded with French fries and only a tiny amount of beans and cheese. It was not good. It was kind of gross. No chile inside either On a positive note though, I got a White Walker popsicle--coconut and lime--and it was excellent!! Only come here for the sweets!

Sonora dog was great. Can't go wrong with avocado and bacon on a hot dog. We also shared an ice cream taco and I believe we got a flavor that was the last of its kind. I think it was white chocolate raspberry and - wow - it was good. It had big chunks of white chocolate in it. The waffle taco shell stayed crisp. We'll be back. You should go, too. We want to try the boozy shakes. By the way - it's very close to the bike trail so you can burn off 13 calories before you consume several hundred, if that's your thing.

This is a great local business with good product. It is easy to access the location and well worth a stop to check it out. There is some great places to sit outside and enjoy your treat.

I've lived in the South Valley for ten years now and I love having Pop Fizz down the street! This sweet shop is an absolute must. I was so excited to bring my three year old niece with me, she also gives 5 stars! After a nice lunch we arrived at Pop Fizz for a treat. We ordered the cinnamon churro vanilla soft serve topped with Fruity Pebbles ice cream, a Cookie Monster soft serve with Oreo's, and a kids scoop of chocolate ice cream with sprinkles! The soft serve is so sweet and yummy. I love the different combinations and toppings perfect for any sweet tooth craving. Their paletas are also amazing and come in so many different varieties. The staff was friendly helping us with our ice cream, the restrooms were neat and clean, and we also got to sit outside and have a fun ice cream photo shoot!

UPDATE: I've now been to the brick and mortar Popfizz and chowed down on some delicious fries. I highly recommend the loaded fries with pork instead of steak (thanks for the suggestion, Samantha!). I'm so fortunate to have been guided by this lovely crew member who made sure I recieved the perfect meal! I got a float made with vanilla ice cream and strawberry soda which hit the spot. I can't wait to come back and eat my way through the menu!

You hear Pop Fizz and you probably think soda. You're not wrong but this place as so much more. Came here after a fun outing with Yelp Helps ABQ and quickly realized I'd been missing out. The good people at Pop Fizz had freebies ready for us to try. The Cookies n' Cream paleta looked good and tested even better. It has real Oreo cookies and an extra creamy texture. The paleta also held together well in the heat so it had the melt in your mouth, not in your hand thing going. Stand back M&Ms. The carne asada fries were excellent. The fries kept their crunchy quality and the other ingredients added a variety of flavors to please the tastebuds. The carne wanted to stay together so I recommend two forks to pull it and the fries apart. A knife you say? Where's the fun in that? Got a bean and cheese burrito to go because... ice cream and carne asada fries. The burrito was largely tortilla but I wasn't disappointed. It had a great taste and the large size made it part of more than one meal. The potato inside was cut in an interesting way, which I rather enjoyed. You'll just have to get one to see what I mean. Go to Pop Fizz but do so using Google Maps. Apple Maps gets you close but it also gets a little confused.

This place is pretty cool. With the unique name, location, and the fact that I thought it was an ice cream shoppe, I was quite surprised that it served not only sandwiches and fries but also alcohol. I wanted to go a few times and try several different items before leaving this review, so I can ensure that my review was thorough. I've tried the Chicken Bacon Ranch and Cubano sandwiches on two different occasions. I've tried every single kind of ice cream taco they offer and also tried one of their "boozy" shakes, their banana foster. Their Cubano sandwich is the best in Albuquerque according to both me and my boyfriend and their chicken bacon ranch sandwich is pretty awesome too. Their boozy bananas foster was really delicious too and definitely worth trying if you are celebrating something special. I love their ice cream tacos. They may look small, but there is a lot of ice cream packed in there!!! Trust me! They are very filling! I normally have to share mine because I can never ever finish it but I want to because it is delicious! If you haven't tried Pop Fizz and are looking for something truly unique and different, I say give this a try, you won't be dissatisfied!

I absolutely loved this place!!! It's like a snapshot out of a Willy Wonka segment...The location is great, it's vibrant colors and whimsical atmosphere are the perfect compliment to their dreamy popsicles. So many unique flavors of paletas, my daughter tried the Strawberry Banana, and I chose the Raspberry - both were bursting with flavor! Next visit we are definitely trying those ice cream tacos!!! And those carne asada fries...can we talk about it???? Craazzzzzzzzy good. They serve plenty of other hot food choices, sandwiches, burritos. This is going to be a frequent spot for us this summer, and what a great place to have a birthday party for the littles on the patio! Drop by and see what all the buzz is about, this is a local business you will want to go out of your way to support!!!

Yo this place is on point! I'm relatively new to Albuquerque but I'm no stranger to what the Southwest has to offer. This is the kind of place you bring visitors to from out of town if you want to show off what Albuquerque has that you won't likely find somewhere else. Ice cream and alcohol. What more is there to say? I didn't even know there was a version of mimosa that involved a popsicle (paleta if your down). I've had several items off the menu and have never been disappointed. Try the cookie monster. Get a frozen limeade with a shot of rum. Just GO

Such a cute place. Lots of yummy flavors to choose from. I got the almond joy paleta and it was sooooo yummy! My daughter tried the avocado paleta and it was creamy and delicious. Check in with Yelp - buy one get one free!!

Definitely an awesome spot to stop by for. So many desert and snack options and so good! It's all made there too! Good service always tops it off

Pleasantly surprising! What a great take of a modern slightly Americanized version of a Michoacána. For those that don't know a Michoacána is a Mexican ice cream and snack bar. The paletas are outstanding here light and fresh. They're made with natural ingredients which amplifies the fruit flavor. Once you go paleta you'll never want the regular ole popsicle again. For the snacks you have burritos, hotdogs (plain or Mexican style), carne asada fries, regular ole fries and a few sandwiches. There's also beer your Abq staples Marble and La Cumbre. Don't slip on the strange location get yourselves on over to Pop Fizz and have some delicious late night snacks.

Finally made it in , almost didn't because the parking lot at the NHCC was full! but someone pulled out as we pulled in, looked a lot like luck. But Pop Fizz was open and friendly, and not very busy, which was good because they are not big! Ive had the icecream tacos, and ice cream, and some of the paletas, other times and from mobile truck, but had nto tried out the food items i finally verified by finding a pdf of the menu (website has eats section broken in all the browsers i tried) I had probably the 2nd best cubano i've had in town here! My dad got their big burrito, which was a nice mix of meat and chile and fries tucked inside. good tortilla, well made. enjoyed some of the bites i grabbed off of it! I also tempted dad with a classic chocolate malt, (he liked it! and he is often kinda disappointed by the modem not very malty type you find most places!) and gave me a chance to see the bottled drink options! Win Win.

Its quite a drive from my place but I was at the area for a meeting so I decided to give this place a try. I had their mango paleta that has a spicy lime salt dip. It was so good. And mind you, I'm not really into popsicles or sweets. Just writing about it now, makes me wanna go back and try other flavors! I also had the asada fries which was great. Enough said. The burrito was okay. Probably will not order again. Just wanna comment on the weird restaurant name. Maybe they should have thought of a better name that will reflect their menu for better recall. Pop Fizz. Is it because they sell POPsicles and several types of sodas? There were barely any customers on a weekday lunch. I will probably return to try their other savory paletas. Yumm! I'm a fan!

Delicious little gem... staff was super friendly & knowledgeable. The paletas are soooo good and they have a ton of options. If you have a sweet tooth make sure you check them out. They also added alcohol to their menu, which you can add to your fruity paletas (yummmm)

MUST VISIT IN ALBUQUERQUE. This place is great! Their seasonal paletas are to die for, and their year-round treats (including the house-made churros) are worth multiple visits. I doubt there are any items on the menu not worth trying, and the staff are ridiculously sweet and helpful. We definitely have a new summer spot.

Delicious even in the cold weather. I've yet to try the eats here, honestly it takes some work to not think about their paletas when "Pop- Fizz" hets mentioned. I regrettably have also not tried their boozy drinks although I think it is awesome they offer them. This was not my first visit but it was a my first arroz con leche paleta. In a word, fan-freakin- tastic. I endeavor to try everything on the menu so I will be back. Great idea for anytime of year.

Best paleta's. My wife and I rode our bicycles from Alameda to the other side of town. We stoped by on the to the Hispanic culture center. They have an a excellent variety of flavors.

POP FIZZ NOTE TO READER: Before I get my head chopped off by other yelpers. (This has happened before) I am about to go on a 14 hour flight, out of the country. During this flight I have nothing to do and I know I have slacked on my reviewing because I have been crazy busy! Although every time I have gone somewhere new I made it a point to check-in so I may go back and review later. It has taken me a while to review these restaurants but I am finally doing so. Before somebody says "you posted x9843058048 reviews in one day", please know that I am reviewing as my flight is in the air and will be posting once landed at my destination. Thank you! Also, I review on trip advisor before anybody goes psycho crazy on me saying they seen this review elsewhere. I post on both yelp and trip advisor of my reviews! Thank you (: Location: I am not from ABQ but was in town visiting a friend and he took us here because he said he heard good things about this place! Customer Service: The guy was nice and didn't mind that we had otns of questions! Decor: Small ice cream shop, but cute décor! Presentation of Food: They had a bunch of different desserts to be honest that it was so hard to pick! But my friends and I all got something different and everything was so good!!! Made with real fruits, etc! How did the food taste?: Y U M M Y Overall Experience: I wish they had a place like this in the bay area! Would I Come Back?: If ever in NM yes!

Frito pie! Carne asada fries! Even booze! Free pop fizz treat when you check in. Everything is delicious and the staff and owner are amazing! The setting is super cute! Guaranteed to love something I promise ya!

Pop Fizz is officially now an Albuquerque institution. Let me tell you why... I first came to know Pop Fizz at a Yelp event where they had a small cart with ice cream bars for sale. Sure, I like ice cream. Ok, I love it. Ice cream is one of my kryptonites. No, I won't tell you what they others are. Who knows how those will be used against me. Super heroes have to have their secrets, right? Anyway, from the first taste of their coffee ice cream bar, I was hooked. But my chances to find Pop Fizz bars were limited only to certain events. Then, I heard that they opened a brick-and-mortar location, and so many possibilities opened up for me. This location at the Hispanic Cultural Center is awesome. Sure, they have 15 or 20 different types of ice cream bars at any given time. And those bars are amazing - flavorful, rich and delicious. And you can have them dipped in chocolate if you want. What?! But, they also now have ice cream tacos, pastries and even boozy shakes - yep, ice cream shakes with alcohol in them. And damn, they are tasty. As if they weren't enough, the staff is awesome. They owner is usually there, and is happy to talk about his craft. He even gave us a few samples of new flavors he was working on one time to get our feedback. As you might expect, the feedback was positive! Pop Fizz is one of those seriously cool local businesses that is destined for great things. Do yourself a favor and go!

Well Yelp was right... This place is great. We got the Cubano sandwich, Carne Asada fries, and three Popsicles. All of it was awesome... The Cubano sandwich sounded good, but far exceeded my expectations. The fries were also delicious, and were presented very well... Neat look (despite the styrofoam container), with ribbons of sauce over the steak which was over the fries. Then came the Popsicles... If all they had was these Popsicles I would still come here. I read another review on here before I picked, and her story about the cafe de leche "singing its siren song" to her made me think, she sounds like a junkie... So maybe it's good. So I got the Cafe de Leche too... Then I understood. I told my wife I was trapped in a loop of exponential desire, every bite made me want two more. Going to have to fill the freezer.

Carne Asada fries for the W! Paleta Beers, even better! Place is top notch.

Being an ice cream fiend I looked around the interwebs for a local shop. The location is killer; within the UNM campus, surrounded by colorful buildings and monuments around the area. The biggest reason I came was for the ice cream taco. A waffle cone surrounding ice cream and topped with chocolate! I got the horchata flavor and i was DELIGHTED! The price was over 5 bucks but the thing was so big and rich that I was stuffed in the end, after having dinner. Highly recommended!

Pop Fizz embodies every lick of what a successful local biz should embody in Albuquerque. A few years ago, the place set up shop on Bridge avenue in what I consider the gateway to the South Valley, near the best taco shop in town (El Paisa). It was a family-run gig: dad was a public school teacher who helped set up shop, and the kids crafted the goods, which were a kind of hybrid of sweet frozen treats inspired by Mexican tradition, with modern American influence. If you're visiting our awesome city from another place, please note that the South Valley keeps it Real: if you don't speak Spanglish, prepare to try. That said, the family that runs Pop Fizz are happy to translate. They're endlessly gregarious. What these guys have accomplished, man, it's all about perseverance. They've schlepped paletas in a little cart to virtually every major civic event and festival around town, and in the process trained local palates to anticipate a little chile with their icy cold treats. They've worked tireless hours promoting the brand and, in time, word on the street has been solid. A couple months back I took my daughter to the old storefront only to discover that it had moved to the Hispanic Cultural Center. I was really happy for the business, and my daughter was supremely pissed. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything coming out of this place. Go conservative with a strawberry or mango popsicle, or get adventurous with something more diverse. The ice cream is good. The candies are legit. The sodas are unique. Many of the flavors you'll taste are locally-sourced. And the move to the Hispanic Cultural Center is so apt, so sensible, such a terrific opportunity for the future of the brand. And yeah, I'm remiss that they aren't located at the gateway anymore, but I couldn't be more happy for their success. I love supporting this local gem, and you will, too.

This place and what they offer is top notch. The location is a bit out of the way unless you live downtown. They create such good tastes, flavors in their paletas. I have come here 3 times now bringing someone new with me. I think their best one is watermelon...but I'm bias. Choco tacos are a must, I usually bring one with me back home ha! I have seen them and their Pop Fizz-Mobile around town and now that the weather is soooo wonderful (October!) I can keep enjoying their offerings.

After picking up our daughter and family at the airport, we decided to eat at Pop Fizz before heading to the zoo. We had a burrito, a turkey sandwich, a frito pie, and a carne asada fries. All of the meals were good. However, my carne asada fries should have contained more meat. No other complaints. Service was fine. Three paletas were ordered to go.

This may sound stupid but I thought this was a food place with gourmet popsicles. It is a gourmet popsicle place with food. Anyway, we had food. We actually chose to go to Pop Fizz for the Sonora hot dog. My husband thought this was the best hot dog he has ever had. I tried it and I really liked it too. Good bun, Nathan's hot dog, and great toppings. It was also a good size-one made a meal. He also got the French fries. There were plenty of fries cooked to where they were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Very nice. I had the Cubano. As other reviewers have said it was smaller than I expected. Again, the bread was good. The pork was tender. I couldn't really taste the ham and there were very few pickles. It was not a bad sandwich but I would not order it again. I got the side nachos also. They cooked the tortilla chips fresh. I loved that. I have a pet peeve when I get nachos and the toppings are basically on one or two chips. This was not the case. The cheese sauce, which was very good, was on every chip. I love that too. We also got a strawberry shake and a mango lime slushy-type drink. The shake was good but nothing special. On the other hand, the slushy thing was outstanding. I am craving another one right now! I definitely will go here again when I'm visiting the area again. Next time I want to try a churro sundae. It sounds so good. Oh yeah, they have an outside eating area where you can bring your dogs and they sell pawlettas. So cute!!

Mixed review. When it came to the Paleta it was meh. I frequent another Paleta place that has set the bar high. My Paleta tasted icy not fresh. The Sonoran hot dog was good though. A lot of flavor, first time eating one and I'm glad i did. Even though it was a hot dog it reminded me of something my abuelita would make. I'd come back if i was in the area, but I won't drive down here for a Paleta. I can get better tasting ones closer to home. The staff was also nice as well.

Super yummy paletas and priced right!

Pop Fizz is still as amazing as ever! I thought I'd update my review. It's been awhile. This is my favorite place in town to grab a paleta! They've been my favorite for over 5 years now. I don't think they get enough press! They deserve more good press! I live right by the mountains and drive all the way down here to get my paleta fix! The owners of this place are incredibly passionate in what they do and they are extremely nice to their customers. They've always had quality customer service which I appreciate a great deal! I love supporting local shops and this is one of my favorites. Not only is their service amazing, the quality of their products is unbeatable! I love their all natural paletas. I love their coconut the best but love their special edition flavors such as lavender lemonade and their strawberry mango kiwi. They also have delicious eats such as churros with soft serve and the wonderful Sonora Dog that I think about often! So delicious! I will always be a fan of their carne asada fries which I think are the best in ABQ or even ever! I crave them just as often as their Sonora Dog! And right after, I finish everything up with a refreshing paleta! Thank you Pop Fizz for existing! If you haven't been to this location, make sure to check it out and support local! They also have a new location in the North Valley which is great for lazy days because it's a drive thru!

This is a neat lil place to grab a bite. The menu is not extensive. However, the carne asada fries and sonora dog tasted great! I don't think the size matches the price tag. A bit on the small size. On the other hand, the churro sundae matches every penny! Fresh and hot churros with ice cream, chocolate/ strawberry sauce, almonds, and whipped cream. Need I say more? Yum!
