Pros
Overall, La Popular is a decent serving job with steady tips, largely due to the Toast system where most customers tip around 20%. The tip structure can be a bit high, with 7.5% going to the bar and 2% to the food runner on night shifts (day shifts only tip out to the bar), so you usually take home about 3/4 of your tips. The minimal side work is a plus—just one bucket and one assigned station to close out each shift. Daily tip deposits through the Kickfin app are super convenient, so you get paid directly to your bank every day.
Cons
There’s a lot of favoritism, and the new GM is strict but doesn’t always lead by example (no phones allowed, yet she's often on hers). Another downside is that some coworkers provide poor service, which reflects badly on everyone, hurting return business for good servers. While it’s decent money with manageable tasks, the high tip-out, lack of strong leadership, and impact of others’ service on tips can be frustrating.

Pros
You can do whatever you want if you are white or women.
Cons
It’s a very toxic place to work at, management has there preferences, it’s open till late but expect the restaurante to be empty from 9-12. You are going to get yelled at if the managers are in a mood. Tip out is crazy, 7.5 for bar and 2 for expo and they don’t even run your food. You have to run your food and drinks, clean tables and are expected to help the lazy ones. Everyone leaves because it affected their mental health. If you want to lose your mind, go for it.
