La Popular’s menu is still being finalized; it will be serving authentic Mexican food. The restaurant’s two original locations are in Mexico City, and the location in Austin will be the second U.S. location after another opens in California this November.
The taqueria was founded by Paul Frederick along with two investor partners based in Mexico City, Eduardo Gomez and Guillermo Mascarenas. 310-405-9645. www.lapopulartaqueria.com/
