This was a quick lunch so yesterday, because my partner wanted something spicy and we were right around the corner.
The inside is very cute.
I absolutely loved that each chair was wrapped up with a ribbon.
It made me smile.
My partner got a chicken enchilada and a cheese enchilada.
He loves enchiladas, but he pointed out that a lot of enchiladas run the risk of having boiled chicken inside of them.
He said that he could tell they actually seasoned the chicken in the enchiladas here.
He was very impressed. I got the fries because who doesn't love loaded fries? The flavor was almost TOO good.
Whatever combo of sauces they used were a treat! Great service and wonderful food.
I would definitely come back here!

Absolutely unreal food, had my mouth watering and the loaded fries made my nose run! The birria tacos were very cheesey and juicy.
The service was quick and the people are friendly.
The atmosphere immediately felt very cozy.

I was more than excited to try Los Pookies, but found the experience below expectations.
The seating was very limited and we had to sit side by side by the window.
I had ordered the birria tacos and queso fundido.
Wife had ordered combination fajitas, but got steak fajitas in error.
My rating is based on the following: 1.
Waitress offered me a refill on the horchata, but never provided me a refill.
2.
Queso fundido was not like pictured/described, but instead a large glob of mozzarella like cheese with NO chorizo(burnt cheese on top).
3.
Waitress was inattentive and never asked about food, but looked at us funny as we complained about the food.
Gave me funny look at checkout.
4.
Birria tacos tasted like straight pot roast with pot roast juice as consume(not good).
5.
The horchata was tasty so gave + 1 star as the only thing pleasant.
Overall, poor quality service and food.
I would not recommend at this time.
