Update: This business has ceased its operations.

Suria KLCC has two food courts: Signatures Food Court on level 2, and Rasa Food Arena on level 4. I find the food at the former more palatable. However, the place is quite crowded throughout the day; finding a vacant table is not an easy task.

Popilla is one of the many stalls at the Signatures Food Court. This kiosk sells Americanized Mexican food such as tacos, burritos, nachos and quesadillas.

We ordered 2 pieces of Tuna Taco (RM5.50 each) and 2 pieces of Cheesy Bean Taco (RM5.90 each). These are hard-shell tacos. I personally prefer the soft-shell type, but it is not available.

The Tuna Taco is better of the two. The taco is filled with minced tuna, diced tomatoes, shredded cabbage, grated cheese and guacamole sauce. I find the tuna is delightfully tasty. I am also a big fan of guacamole, but the amount here is pitifully meager.

As for the Cheesy Bean Taco, it is not as appealing due to lack of flavor. The fillings are made of baked beans and grated cheese. I was hoping to taste pinto beans, but Popilla only uses regular haricot beans. Apart from the beans, the overall taco is quite dry and plain.

For such simple snack food, the price is ridiculously expensive. Even a meal of four tacos is insufficient for one person. I guess when you are selling something in a popular food court, you can raise the price with impunity but need not worry about lack of customers.
