Why unpopular? IMO.. foremost is due to difficulty & unfamiliarity in its essential ingredients for producing the ubiquitous wrappers ~ Tortilla. Authentic Latin American (specially Mexicans') tortillas are made from Corn Meal! Only in the last couple of decades does producers came to use wheats & other grains in producing the flour that were made into Tortilla Wrappers. And another quirkiness is Mexican meals widely use Jalapeno strain of peppers as main garnish.
Those 2 compulsory ingredients, along with Avocado reflects authentic Mexican flavours ..main reason why Mexican foods is not as popular as fried chicken, hamburger & hotdog sandwiches here. IMO only!
EDIT: addendum
Yes it does.. El Sombrero in Malate, nearby Aristocrats. But that one had close 5 or 6yrs ago.
Oh, before it slip my mind 🙃... There's Papagayo , same area as in above's... M H del Pilar, very near Hobbit House (notorious for their All-Midget staffs/servers/bouncers lolz). Both close down in early 90s' 😔

Had visited Zapata's & Champas numerous times, not bad.
Am not surprise why Pampanga got them.. cuz that area was teeming with GIs way back in late 60s/70s & up til early 80s'. It has Uncle Sam's largest oversea military camp in Asia then ~ CAB, aka Clark Air Base.
