Highrise Tower Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I was browsing the newspaper The Jewish Herald-Voice dated December 20, 1973 and came across a business advertisement for Judd McIlvains El PoPo Mexican Restaurant located at 9228 Buffalo Speedway. Did anyone ever eat here? What ever happened with the family of Judd McIlvain? I wonder if there are any photos of the building, or matchbooks from the restaurant? The food looks fantastic! I don't think I've ever had Popocatepetl-style Mexican food before. I wonder how their mole is different? I know there is like 5 types of mole from different regions.

Dave W Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I never ate there, but that was in the Buffalo Plaza Shopping Center, just past the Dome Shadows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
