Update: They added a salsa/topping bar which includes different salsas, toppings like radish, onion, cilantro, and lime. While I enjoy the salsa bar, and the updates like the televised menu, I did notice that the portion sizes have gotten smaller. The to-go salsa cups have dropped to half their size, and the protein portions in the tacos have also decreased. I understand updates need to be made, but I hope they know that we can tell. And it would be a shame to lose such an authentic spot in a Mexican food desert. read more

Love this place and the bakery off to the left! I always get the lingua tacos. Service is quick & friendly. There are plenty of areas to sit such as tables & booths. read more

El Lupillo - Lingua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

I used to love the food from this place. However, the past few takeout orders have been marginal at best. Little things, forgetting to include salsas in the takeout bag.. much less meat in the sandwich and stale bread! read more

These used to be the best tacos on the coast. I came down recently for a few weeks, and had to stop by, but was greatly disappointed the decline in quality. I ordered lengua tacos, birria dipping tacos, and buche tacos. They were out of buche, so I swapped for carnitas. All of it was very dry. Meat was dry and flavorless. Tortillas were dry, no softness , no grease. I couldn't understand why the Biloxi location closed, but now I see. Too bad. read more

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten in my life. Nicest people and the best service. This is REAL AUTHENTIC Mexican food.

El Lupillo, the peak of the summit, this restaurant truly does! The three wonderful women working at El Lupillos are making authentic, FANTASTIC Mexican food right here in Gulfport Mississippi! I ordered the Birria, three tacos (lengua, pastor, carnitas), and a carne asada quesadilla! The birria I ate in house because that is super juicy and I didn't want to wait to get home. WOW I am glad I didn't wait. It was absolutely wonderful. The flavor. The juiciness. The quality. The consomé was outstanding! Everything was very reasonably priced for just how much you get. Mississippi - if you let this place slip through the cracks, if you don't help them survive you will be relegated to fakes, and imitation Mexican food. They don't deserve that but your taste buds especially don't deserve that. Will edit once I'm home and eat the rest but just off the service and the birria it's a 5/5 STARS! read more

El Lupillo - Birria!!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Call me Loca I went there twice just to make sure I wasn't tripping. so clearly I'm black. lol I'm iCalifornia and I really love it. Clearly cashier with the blonde hair was so rude the first time I asked for extra salsa and she told me no I haven't asked to pay for it and she's like what's inside of the container is enough. The next time I went there with my husband, me and him mentioned Jarritos which he loves. She literally said fountain drinks only when clearly there were three in there. Now I'm irritated I'm clearly hungry. We get our food to get our fountain drink and he discovered a beetle in his damn mess of chicken that was on his plate and I just asked for a full refund for both items and she said no and took the food.... So I'm like wow Okay B -Word and left. The inside is a whole in the wall feels very clean but quick to get your food. read more

The food and drinks were amazing, service was okay, and the ambiance is pretty quiet due to low customer count. Some tables were sticky and the juice bar had a lot of fruit flies everywhere but nonetheless food was 10/10 read more

El Lupillo - Lengua tacos made to perfection - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

My husband and I love going here for some real tacos. We usually get 3 and that fills us up plenty. Just to note that their menus do not reflect their new prices so if your total seems to be more expensive than you thought, then that's why. read more

Delicious! They should charge double haha sshhh.. I got the beef burrito and it was one of the best I've ever had. The little old lady was great. So awesome! read more

Soy un gran rando. A short time ago, in a land not so far away, I found myself looking for dinner. My requirements were: unique, reasonable, and available for pickup. El Lupillo was not too far from where I was so I gave it a shot. If you find yourself in Gulfport and want authentic tacos and fast, reasonable Mexican Food, this is the place you should stop. My first impression of this place was a bit odd. I walked inside to an empty restaurant (it was late) with very loud music playing over the speakers. There was a small child behind the counter staring at me as if I was a giant rando (I am) and a worker lying on the ground under a piece of kitchen equipment. I first thought I had walked in on a robbery gone bad, but quickly realized it was close to closing and the worker was fixing something. When he realized I was standing there he went and got another worker who handled my order. It seemed like I was a container short so I checked and discovered that my torta was unfounded. They went ahead and made it while I waited so I had a little time to wander around the building. That is when I discovered the single greatest thing about this place. In the corner of the restaurant there was a taco fixings bar which had everything this rando could have hoped for. Limes, chipotles in adobo, onions, many different salsas, lettuce, hot sauce, and much more. Luckily for me they also had to-go containers and I loaded up on chipotles and salsa. The drive home was about 20 difficult minutes. It was difficult because I wanted to grab some tacos and chow down. Once home I did just that and I was very happy. The kind of happy you get when you bite into a lengue, barbacoa, carnitas, or steak taco. Yeah. They were damn good. You might think of tacos as a simple and hard to mess up dish. They kind of are, but they kind of aren't as well. These are legit tacos. The torta was good, but the tacos were the star of the show. If they would have used Nola style french bread it would have been better, but again, that isn't likely authentic and this place was most definitely the real deal. If you find yourself in the port of the Gulf and want real and real good tacos, you need to check out El Lupillo. read more

I had a hankering for some authentic tacos and this place did not disappoint! My husband is from California and said he felt like he was home again. The Birria is to die for, the steak is so flavorful, and the chicken was juicy. I can't wait to try the pork and beef tongue. We will 100% be frequenting this gem! If you love tacos... run to this place asap. read more

The first time I ever came here was during a visit from San Diego with my relatives who moved here and found it to be the closest to home they'd found. The woman at the register had a stank attitude, and it didn't feel the cleanest. The food was just okay. Update: I came here the other day because they convinced me the carne asada tacos were worth it. So I was willing to try again. But when I walked to the door, it was locked - at 12:40 pm right during lunch There was a woman sitting at a table who looked up and ignored me. When I knocked she held up ten fingers and another five- WTF? 15 minutes I mouthed? She rolled her eyes, nodded and went back to eating. I kid you not! A gentleman came up to the door while I was there and I told him she'd said 15 minutes. He gave a disgusted look and went back to his car. I got back in the car and left, never to return. When I informed my relatives of her sign language they relayed that was the third time they'd come and found the door locked! They said they seemed to have gotten cocky - for what I don't know cuz it's a raggedy taco shop compared to my home town. Anyway, save yourself time, aggravation and money - the tacos are inconsistent and apparently they don't need the business. Go to El Rancho down the street instead and order the carne asada street tacos - they are the real deal and much nicer. read more

Transplant from Texas and have been looking for good breakfast tacos and street tacos. This place fit the bill on street tacos. We've tried a whole lot of "Mexican" places in the area all without that authentic taste of spice, cilantro, and lime. Definitely a new favorite place to go. We all tried tacos and my littles got a quesadilla. Great service and staff as well. We will be frequent flyers! My food didn't last long enough for a before picture. read more

El Lupillo - El pastor, yumm - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Best taco I have had in Biloxi so far. Perfectly seasoned meat (got the pastor and chicken) So there is no taco Tuesday specials :( ... the tacos are 2.50$. They do have a good selection of meats including the beef tongue (lengua) on top of the typical pastor, steak, chicken. They have a decent salsa bar too. The eating place is not clean to the restaurant standard by any stretch of the imagination (as clean as my home though lol) with none of the tables cleaned from prior people eating, the floor with garbage and food/pop stains abound. Shockingly this place got a A health standard most recently (in the past look like some C grades). You can see them cooking which is nice. They do use packaged tortillas which are not the best which seems standard in Biloxi. It took 20 min to get two tacos during the later part of lunch (at 1pm) with only one cook (which is a little long for a quick taco). Overall before the food came I was thinking no way will I be back, but then after the delicious tacos will likely be back. Update: went back at 7pm when it was a lot less crowded. The tables and floor were cleaner. I had to get the chicken again since it is so good, and also tried to steak, which was equally amazing. It only took 2 minutes to get the tacos. The salsas are realThey have a 10% military discount too. They give you plenty of lime as well. Going to increase my star rating to a five from a four. Update: went with my girlfriend who has lived in Houston and San Diego (so I have frequented there too) and she agrees these are some of the best or the best tacos we have had! read more

Drink machine was broken. This is closer to authentic Mexican food as opposed to the typical "Tex Mex" you get elsewhere. Be prepared for that. No chips / salsa appetizer like the typical chain Mexican place. Food was good and prepared quickly. read more

2 of 3 things we ordered we threw in the trash. It is hard to mess up a quesadilla . I have been all over the country of Mexico and by far this is the MOST DISGUSTING Mexican food I have EVER eaten. Even the pictures on the wall of their food looked gross. The tacos of carne asada were cooked in catsup ! My wife's burrito was DISGUSTING They put cottage cheese in it. Except the tiny quesadilla for 6 bucks , we took 2 bites and threw all in the trash. I feel sorry for Gulfport people who think this place is good. It's not even bad, it's GROSS ... UN ASCO .. LA COMIDA ES FATAL ! LO PEORE !! read more

Don't recommend this place at all. I ordered a taco and found a beetle inside the taco.

The type of bread was unexpected for a torta advertised with a picture of a classic sandwich. When I was ordering, the staff referred to it as a Po Boy which was weird even though I was asking for a torta. She also didn't seem to know that pork was el pastor in spanish. Confusing experience. read more

Just found my favorite Mexican restaurant. Authentic Mexican style restaurant reminds me of San Diego Mexican restaurants. Salsa bar with vegetables, HORCHATA, and real authentic tacos. Simply delicious! read more

This is the most authentic Mexican Taco place out here! The tacos are full size not the mini street tacos. The tortillas are fresh and the meat is well seasoned. The pastor taste like pastor and the carnitas are moist not dried out. They have a great selection of beer too. Will definitely be coming back here read more

The tortas are huge and delicious. I love the salsa too. Didn't expect much, especially for Mississippi, but I plan to make this my go to for Mexican. read more

Hands down amazing Mexican food! I had the loaded quesadilla which means you can add a meat. My wife had the carne, pollo, pastor which are all amazing. I definitely recommend to anyone and will come back when we travel through. read more

Tacos are very similar to what you would see in San Diego. The lengua, carnitas, and carne asada tacos are worth trying (lengua being the best). Good tacos, but the building is disgusting and DIRTY! There was hair that come out of the water/soda dispenser, tiny bugs in the cilantro, and my pico de Gallo tasted like it was prepped a week ago. The person taking orders had a nasty attitude. Please redirect your taco cravings elsewhere! read more

This place is authentic Mexican food! Ordered 3 types of street tacos (asada, pollo, carnitas) and horchata. It came with a green and red sauce that were so good and spicy! Everything was amazing! So much that I ordered take out the next week. The food is freshly cooked. I like the menu is small and easy to choose from. I want to try their birrea tacos next! read more

I was super excited to try this place on a taco Tuesday based off the reviews I read. However when I went up to order I was completely deflated. The women who took our order seemed annoyed that I couldn't order in Spanish, like the women before me, and scoffed when I asked if I could try three different meats in the Flacos Tacos. She made me feel like I wasn't Latino enough to be in there honestly. Not to mention how salty the tacos were, actually salty cannot even describe the amount of salt in the meat. We still tasted salt the next day. Overall completely disappointed. read more

Great food great service exactly what I was looking for. Very authentic. Hit the spot read more

El Lupillo - Perfect - Mexican Near Me - Gulfport, Mississippi

Really good food! Some of the best street tacos on the coast! Highly recommend stopping by!

Birria estaba muy buena pero necesita más sazón y más consomé sería mejor. Lo recomiendo.

I do have to say that the food came as soon as we sat down after ordering. The portions were fairly big. Although that does not make up for the fact that the meat was drowning in grease. Some of the meat was not enjoyable to chew on. The seasoning was salty. They asked if I wanted cheese, however, there's no hint of cheese. It could be just mixed in with the grease. The beans were watered down. The only thing on the plate that we liked was the rice. For $10.49, it's not worth it. I'm sure there are some other things on the menu that was good, but I didn't see anything. read more

Surprisingly great authentic tacos for $2.50 The complex it's in is creepy but don't mind, staff is friendly and restaurant has a A grade. Will definitely go back. read more

There wasn't very many options on the menu which was okay because I mainly came for tacos and rice and beans. The carne asada tacos were okay.. I was starving so they were fine for the time being. But being from California I was very disappointed. The flavor I was looking for just wasn't there. The rice and beans I didn't even eat no matter how starving I was. The rice was very hard and the beans were watery. I won't be going back which makes me sad cause I was really looking forward to trying this place. read more

Come here for THE BEST tacos. This is a great example of a "hole in a wall" place. They cook it on a flat top that is easily visible if you wanted to see them make it and it's made to order. I wish I could've gone more often in the 2 months I was there! read more
