    Birria!!!!!

    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!

    Lengua tacos made to perfection

    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

    The results of getting some yummy pastor tacos after far too long.

    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.

    El pastor, yumm

    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!

    Lengua, carnitas, Asada tacos!

    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!

    There's are many (perhaps too many) Mexican eateries in Gulfport, all along or right off Hwy 49,…read moreand I think Azteca's is the best of them. They offer some unique items that other's don't have, and the quality is slightly better for about the same price. If you like cheese dip, you definitely want to get the queso fundido. It uses thick white cheese (not that runny stuff you find at a lot of other places) plus a generous portion of chorizo, and they give you some tortillas to go with it. My go-to is the Trio combo, which features a chicken quesadilla, chicken burrito, and a stuffed pepper with beef. Most of the time, I can't finish it all. They also have some birria quesadillas which are an inch thick, great tacos, and much more. I have never once been disappointed by anything I've had here. Service is usually quick, too. My only complaint here is the noise. The have hard tile floors throughout and the acoustics make it quite loud. If they have a musician playing, it's often blasting louder than it ought to be. If somebody is having a birthday, they play some really noisy music for them. I guess maybe the idea is to get you out of their quickly, but it can be harsh on the ears.
