“ OMG Best Mexican burger ever!! I'm a real burger person and let me tell you this simple local restaurant is small but sooooo delicious! Absolutely recommend this place to anyone that enjoys a good burger, they have few items on the menu but honestly once you have the burger you'll see why, it's so classic and simple that you can't beat it. Definitely going to make this place a regular!! Please try it out if your in Laredo!! And definitely can't beat the prices! ”

“ Simply delicious and the staff is always attentive. For those of us who were raised in Nuevo Laredo, Lonches El Popo, are a tradition. I highly recommend them. ”
“ Yelp brought me here and boy am I glad it did. Didn't really know what to expect, only with off the reviews saying "... This is a larado must." While I have only spent 24 hours in larado I can say this is FOR SURE a must go to. There are only 4 burger options; hamburger, brisket burger, weenie burger and actual ham burger. The prices for all these ARE ONLY 2.90 each. We ended up just buying all 4 of them. A little "eat the menu" situation. 1) weenie burger 2) hamburger 3) ham burger 4) brisket burger But honestly, just get them all because they are all good and did your own rankings. ”
“ This is one of our stops when visiting Laredo. The menu is very small but you shouldn't need anything else. They make lonches de ternera, hamburguesa, weenies, and jamon. We all ordered the lonches de ternera which is shredded beef. The sandwiches are relatively small so you may want to start with two. The sandwich has lettuce and tomato, but you definitely want to add some mustard to bring it all together. They serve pickled serrano peppers which are great. I typically don't like spicy foods but these peppers are not too bad. Lays potato chips are a must have with this as well. Then you wash it all down with a cold Mexican coke! ”
“ Love this place. A great place to feed the family. Great sandwichs at a great price. This is a good takeout place to bring home food for the family. ”
