My sincerest condolences for your loss. I grew up with Popo's on the west side. It started out as a tiny business and just kept expanding. My parents and I ate there regularly for nearly 50 years. Thank you for the wonderful memories. He is truly a-west side icon. RIP

To the Jaramillo Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

I remember Popo's when it first opened. I was in 8th grade going to be a freshman that year. We would have chips & salsa and wait for our delicious Mexican pizza . His son Johnny was dating one of my friends at that time so Popo (Felix) would fix it extra special. I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet Felix Jaramillo. RIP.
