Very friendly and the staff were basically moving like Spider-Man around the tables. The food was excellent and very fresh and tasty. It was so good that we came back the next day for the Sunday brunch! We really loved the fish tacos, which were out of this world. Neck and neck with that are the Chihuahua tacos where the meat was tender, and the cheese was charred into the tortilla to give it a very wonderful flavor,, kinda like Iron Man blasted it himself to get that crust. We also tried the Carnitas tacos and a couple of others, which are also very tasty. This Sunday brunch was lovely and our favorite was the steak ranchero and the ceviche, as well as the corn cake. But basically the whole buffet was excellent,, felt like an actual feast in Asgard. We had a Diablo margarita and that was excellent! definitely hit with a kick like the Hulk tbh. One of the two days we sat outdoors, and it was lovely with plenty of space. The second day we had a nice booth and there was plenty of space and seating was very comfortable. basically as chill as hanging at the Avengers compound. Definitely five stars!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is the place where our family…read morereally wanted to be to get our delicious tacos, at an excellent price, plus it's taco Tuesday ! I still love the fish tacos here, everything is delicious especially the salsa bar when we get to do all the toppings ourselves! They mariachi singers today, Spanish songs are playing by different Mexican folk music-often rancheras (performers), setting a wonderful Cinco de Mayo vibe. They have a full service bar, or you could get a delicious Mexican coffee with a huge slice of flan like I do! - My dessert. :) Yumm

You know a Mexican restaurant is good when just by trying the red rice you can taste a delicious flavor. The chips were fresh and that red salsa they serve with the chips was really gooood as well! Most places for this kind of red salsa it tastes too much like onion or just too much tomato , but at this restaurant it has a perfect flavor with a spicy kick. Restaurant and restrooms were clean, the service was prompt and friendly. I totally recommend it, and I hope to visit again someday!

I usually tend to get the 2 item Combination plates, but I have ventured and got other things as well. I still like the food here! There is also a lot of vegetarian options as well as my family is vegetarian and they do enjoy coming here and having a variety of choices. SERVICE: We still see the owner when we come in and he is still so warm and friendly, always smiling and treating his guests well! Always great to see a small business that knows service! AMBIANCE: When you walk in, you can definitely tell you are in a Mexican Restaurant. I really like the traditional decor and the pictures around the restaurant. There are two rooms in the restaurant with seating on both sides. One side has the bar and some seating there as well. As my last review said, I will continue to come back here for great Mexican food, great service and good prices!

Delicious carne asada California burritos and birria!…read more Most importantly their staff has integrity. I accidentally left my wallet here and when I called they found it and stored it for me.

Lupe's Mexican Eatery has a surprisingly fulfilling array of appetizers, plates, and drinks, though…read morethe main draw for me are their stuffed and voluminous burritos. I've tried several of the burritos here for their size, flavour, and variety of ingredients, most memorably the Lupe's, Hot Cheetos, California and birria burritos. The Lupe's is stacked with steak and bacon, grilled onion and cilantro, jack cheddar cheese and Chipotle sauce AND guac, so you'll love it as the mash of distinct savoury flavours it is if you love each of those ingredients. It's filling and fills you with both strength and fatigue to prep for or recover from a day of hard work. 5.7/10. Hot Cheetos burritos are something you occasionally see around for some reason, and the one's here are solid, though I prefer the version available at Primo's by a solid margin. Lupe's Cheeto's burritos do have an interesting compressive texture that I strangely somewhat enjoy. 4.4/10. The California burrito is a standard and very solid rendition of a classic. I would put the Lupe's version at above average in quality as they're definitely not mediocre or disappointing. 5.3/10. The birria burrito is just as packed and filling as the other burritos, but tastes and feels significantly more fresh as it consists of a juicy but light birria steak, red beans, and LOTS of chopped cilantro and diced onions. In fact, it primarily tastes of the leafy green, so definitely avoid it if you're not a fan. I enjoy it, though it definitely feels lighter and less satisfying to eat than its less healthy, heavier siblings, and suffers from its birria juices settling at the bottom of the burrito to be largely untasted throughout the eating experience, possibly as there isn't enough of it provided. 4/10. This spot also has a good salsa bar with particularly tasty sauces. My favorites are the classic verde and another, pale green sauce with a creamy flavour, both of which go well with all meals to varying effect. I like how the tortilla chips feel a bit cakey- it's slightly hard to describe, but they're not excessively salty either and fun to eat as a receptacle for the delicious sauces here. A solid spot with a nice, comfortable and fun, kitsch decorated interior, solid burritos and a solid selection of menu items at fairly standard prices.

Nothing explicitly was said but I know when someone is acting in away to say unwelcome without saying it directly. Then he asked which salsa was hot. They did answer but he needed more help and clarification. Little did he know he must have exceeded his secret amount of allotted questions because he was still ignored after his repeated attempts. They were standing right there. I have doubts that didn't hear him. I ended up helping him out for them. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I was only picking up food and yet in that short time, wish I could just leave. Yes, their food is good. Now I have to grapple in the future with condoning the ill treatment I saw with all that.

We sat outside in their outdoor patio where they had a couple of TV's -one with the basketball playoffs going on ( my favorite)! The staff was just amazing and welcomed us and our pups and brought out water for both pups without us even having to ask for it , love that . They have lots of food to choose from but we stuck with the traditional combo plate : Cheese enchilada and carnitas taco - mine was a crunchy and hers was soft taco ( both were delicious). I also ordered a delicious blended strawberry margarita and it didn't disappoint. Our servers were : Enrique and Alfonso both were great . They brought us extra bean mixture dip for the chips as their dips and chips are AMAZING as is their food . If you haven't tried this place, you must try this place as not only is the food great , the people that work here are really amazing and that made our time here even better . We checked their hours and found they are open ALL DAY something like 8AM for breakfast -10 PM like what ??? Not everyday but most days , this isn't fast food either ... You have to try this place and for those who want to eat inside it's nice inside or sit at their bar or sit outside at the really big outdoor eating area , you can't go wrong ... Stop by after a Target run it's near by !! Thank you to you all for helping us and our pups - Enrique and Alfonso we will be back for sure !! Thank you again ! Prices very reasonable!

I haven't walked into an insanely decorated restaurant since the rainforest cafe and there's just…read moredecor ALL over, really making you feel like you're not in Lake Forest for a moment. There was 7 of us total and we walked in being seated right away for lunch. Staff were very friendly, attentive and made sure to check on us. The kids portions were really generous and def fulfilled them. Our meals also were insanely huge and because I was trying to be on the healthy side, my order of the chicken with lemon salad with veggies was not a wow factor and that's on me. I wish the bathrooms were inside. You have to walk to the front of the restaurant to get to it and doors don't completely lock, we accidentally walked in on a gal Overall though this place gets busy and is a fav among the locals here.

The staff is very friendly and our hostess and waiter are very helpful and quick to get a seated and our food came quickly. It's just a fun environment to be at and great for a date night! We went for a Valentines dinner but the night before Valentine's Day. The chips and salsa are really good and those are complementary. Normally, I would get the tableside guacamole, which is really good, but I didn't want to fill up too much so I could eat dinner. They also had a special valentines drink. I got it as a mocktail style and it was so delicious that I want to make it at home because this was just a specialty drink that they had. So me and my husband both ordered fajitas he ordered the steak and I ordered the chicken. The rice and beans were incredible! But I have to say unfortunately my chicken was did not taste very good. It was just kind of dry and not juicy and flavorful. And way too many bell peppers. I love bell peppers, but it was overloaded. But the portions are big and the price is competitive for the area and for this type of food and the amount. Will I come back here again absolutely but maybe I'll try something else like the soup! The soup looked really yummy
