I stopped by Cocina Lupita Turners Falls for dinner recently and dined in. I was given a menu and offered an ice water. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas ($19 plus tax) which were slightly different from what I order at a Mexican restaurant. The Fajitas came out piled onto a very hot iron plate, served with rice & red beans and salad (iceberg, tomato, cucumber) with dressing on the side, no tortillas or guac & sour cream for these fajitas. The fajitas were not too greasy/oily, which had a mix of tender chicken pieces, carrots, greens peppers, onions, & greens. The rice & beans and the salad with ranch dressing complemented the hot plate of chicken fajitas.
I finished the three plates of food and was all set. The check was presented which was $20.33 with tax and before tip. I would come back here to try their pupusas and tacos dorados.
