Tortilleria La Popular

I went around 7 pm as I was told their tamales were some of the best. I was pleasantly surprised they also had a great selection of Mexican bakery items. A manager sitting in the lobby politely responded when I asked for a explanation of flavored. He nicely answered every question al as picked out two for dessert.
I W et to the clerk at the checkout who spoke no English but was nice. We worked out I wanted three tamales, pork, cheese, and chicken. She got them and was back in a minute and gave me a hot sauce and a really hot sauce to go. The price was $ 5 for everything!
The tamales and the the baked goods were great. Unbelievable flavor where most tamales have none. I will go back!

Fresh tortillas and chips for my mexican fiesta day! Can’t wait to try their menudo next time!

The menudo is really good. Its very satisfying. No gamy smell or taste at all. The lengua burrito is also delicious and cheap. If you dont mind dining with the locals in a hole in a wall type of resto, try to experience this place. I got different type of mexican bread and delicacy also.

This place warms my heart… and my tummy… and then adds digits to my jean’s size.
Seriously, the best tamales outside of East L.A. and that’s that.
If you’re headed home with no idea what to have for dinner, stop in and get a dozen tamales. They even have mole! I have yet to have something I was disappointed in. They’re cookin’ with LOVE here people! The only thing that trumps the food are the prices (shhh…it’s a secret and I hope they don’t catch on.)
Oh, and their baked goods are top notch.

This little place is quite a gem in Rogers. Fresh tortillas, tamales and bread are made here daily. The people who run it are always very friendly and I am truly surprised it has not been added to Unilocal as I have been coming here for about 5 years.
If you have never had a fresh, warm, corn tortilla you are absolutely missing out.
You can enjoy it on its own, you can have it with some butter, you can eat it with your favorite Mexican food. No store-​bought preservative-​filled tortilla can ever compare to what they have here at Tortilleria & Bakery La Popular. The first time I drove by this place I had to stop and come in. Lo’ and behold they have an authentic corn tortilla machine. It’s like I was taken back to my childhood; spending summers with my Grandmother in Mexico and walking up the hill every morning to the tortilleria to buy a fresh kilo of toritllas for the day. The look, the smell, the sound of the tortilla machine was exactly the same… you CAN’T get more authentic than that!
You order your tortillas by the kilo, and they give them to you wrapped and so warm that you want to unwrap them and shove a whole tortilla in your mouth right then and there — but you stop yourself because you may frighten the person behind the register. On top of that, the tortillas are super cheap!
Don’t stop there though! With all that awesome corn masa that they produce for their tortillas, they also make fresh tamales! I have tried a couple of flavors and they are delicious. I have ordered an extra dozen and frozen them for a later time. They sell food… entire dinners with beans and rice that you can take home and feed your family with. They sell home-​made flour tortillas too, which are yummy. Their selection of fresh salsas are also delicious. These are not your typical tomato-​y chip and salsa types, though. These salsas are made with dried chiles and they are the kind you top on your food for that extra spice. They also make some Aguas Frescas, but their selection varies.
Another thing you notice all over the place is their bread. Mexican sweet bread to fill your hearts desire for something delicious to dunk into your coffee in the morning. I can go on and on about this place, but it will only make sense once you visit!
