In 2016, David E. Seiter
opened up Pop’s Burritos with the idea of bringing fresh flavors and tastes of
Mexico to San Juan County, namely in Blanding.
Now his small shop, Pop’s Burritos, has become the go to place for “Good
Food – Good Friends – Good Times” as one of his many plaques read.
Stepping inside gets you
an immediate “Welcome, and How can we help you?” from the friendly staff. Breakfast offers up tasty burritos and bowls
of meat, eggs and potatoes; or that all-time favorite, biscuits and gravy. Lunch and dinner is a, what else, burrito;
made any way you like it with a variety of meats, rice, vegetables and
condiments. The most popular with the
locals are chicken and sweet pork, so we tried both and fully understand
why. The burritos are packed, and I’m talking
loaded, with yummy goodness; succulent meats, a fresh assortment of vegetables,
white or brown rice and beans. Beans,
beans, they’re good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you…let’s leave
the ending to the imagination, shall we?

We had a luncheon threesome
with our buddy, Andy Platt, and he says when he’s needing a burrito, he’ll
drive on down from Monticello to Pop’s.
Why not!?! The sweet pork,
chicken and steak are so tender, juicy and full of flavor; combined with a
variety of fixings makes the eating experience out of this county! Seating is available at tables, or counter
and stools by the windows; we people watched as we, literally, stuffed our
mouths.
The shop was busy with
diners eating in, or taking out; while we decided on meals, a long line formed
behind us. Does Pop’s only offer up
burritos? Oh no, cheesy quesadillas,
salads with your choice of ingredients, nachos and even a menu for the
kids. Vegans don’t distress, you will
also enjoy the offerings available.
