Pop's Garage

Honestly used to love this place. Not sure what's changed but the last couple times the experience wasn't so great. The food is still very good it's just everything else. We went a couple nights ago and the alcoholic drinks that we normally order came in what seemed to be smaller cups (yet pricing was the same). When I mentioned it to the waitress she said they always serve them this way. The irony is that we are locals and I had a picture of our last visit making a toast and even the margaritas were in a different cup. Then the service was just not at all attentive which is never good when your at a dine in atmosphere. Not sure what's different- maybe because it's off season. Just disappointed.

What a great Mexican spot right on the boardwalk! Had the quesadilla and added shrimp; it was so much food! The salsa was yummy and the vibe was cute. The staff was super friendly. I was here on a rainy Saturday in February, I can imagine it gets pretty packed during the summer.

We started out at La Tapateria and fate found us at Pops Garage. Now my wife is a real authentic Mexican conosur and was surprised how much she liked the grilled corn and smothered plantains. I like the bar options with the Mexican food on the side. Think we will leave the kids home next time and sit near the bar so we can get into the feel of the place. The main dining room loses that pops garage energy a bit. Highly recommend if you are looking for a pleasant surprise on an old authentic Mexican tag line. Deffinitely do the grilled corn.

Absolutely perfect beach/boardwalk spot. Perfect service, ICE cold beer. Allergy cautious and Extremely delicious tacos! Will return!

Went with a friend on a busy Sunday afternoon... my 1st time there. Our server was fantastic.. fast & friendly, and recommended a few things. 1st we had the chips with guac... OMG!! BEST I've ever had! So addictive!! Then we had tacos.. I had the shrimp which were just as delicious!! I was so tempted to buy more to take home! This will be my 1st stop next time I'm there! I read some weird reviews here about the food. I don't like spicy food. My tacos & the guacamole were not spicy at all... nor did they sit in liquid. They were perfect! *Side note: Someone said the tacos were small.. well if you researched a little about authentic mexican food, you'd see that this is how they are made in Mexico. (We Americans oversize everything) A few reviewers said to go to Loterias.. (or Literios. Not sure of the spelling) but THEIR tacos are like $7 each! So I guess if you have lots of money to burn, knock yourself out! 😉👍

Absolutely Delicious Food !!! Please try it out service is awesome the way these people run it is just great!! I kept hearing Vicente Fernandez in the background they should share that with the music playing in the dinning area just like a mix but over all is excellent.

Christine was an amazing service person. We had empanadas (2 for $20) that were SO delicious, and one chorizo chimichanga ($16 + $2) that blew me away. Every bite of food was impressive. Pictured: chimichanga

Slow service. Food is ok but nothing fancy. Pork and chicken tacos were dry. Would not recommend.
