    Went on a taco tour, and this was the first stop... ordered chicken, pastor, & birria tacos. The birria had no flavor, the meat seemed unseasoned. Though the pastor had a discouraging look, there was decent flavor. To be honest... I couldn't bring myself to try the chicken mainly due to the fact that it looked like dog food. I would not recommend this place

    This spot is the place to go in town for Mexican!! I ordered their monster burrito with grilled chicken and was warned it was huge, and to my liking it was massive! It was delicious and the service was super friendly. The restaurant was clean and they have a small stage for a band and one of those punching bag arcade games!!

    Tripitas, lengua, and fajita asada tacos
    Fabian G.

    The best tacos I've had in Irvin so far.. the tripitas we cooked just as I requested, not too crunchy and not too soft. The lengua was nice and tender and the fajita meat wasn't chewy. The waiter was patient with our group and also had recommendations.. I would definitely recommend!!

    Okay experience overall. Only one other customer for a late lunch on a Wednesday. The service was good and very attentive. Menu was bigger than I expected and very reasonably priced. My husband and I got two tacos each and they were $2.24 a piece. He enjoyed his carnitas and I loved the pastor, but we both felt the barbacoa was unflavorful and nothing special. Tacos were tiny and only had meat in the tortilla, with onions and cilantro on the side along with a green salsa. We asked for water when we sat down and were handed bottled waters and then charged $3 for them, we found that very frustrating. The ambiance was as expected, clean and simple with loud music playing from a tv.

    There is no way the cook is Mexican, or he does not know what he is doing. We ordered different tacos and the meat was tasteless at best. The carnitas tasted bad if they were boiled instead of fried and they had a hint of chicken bouillon. Ordered a GRILLED. Chicken salad and the chicken was nowhere close to grill and it tasted like chicken out of a can. The only item that tasted original was the Mexican Coke we got. Never again!

    We ordered the quesadilla (with everything on the side) meat: fajita and we got tacos: barbacoa, pollo, fajita, and pastor. everything was great! Service was great and quick

    Fajita taco, grilled onions, hot sauces, and a extremely fatty piece of al pastor meat.

    Where to start. The place was open. Nice and clean. The menu is easy to understand. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful. I picked up an order of 5 tacos. 2 fajitas and 2 pastor. Let me tell you the dish looked delicious. Now for the taste test. The beef fajita was bland. Literally flavorless. The taco was breaking apart. The beef itself seemed beyond shredded. More extremely diced. I poured the green hot sauce on it. It was flavorless. I tried the red one. Now there was the spice I was looking for. But yet the taco. It failed me. Let's move on to the Al Pastor. I know it's pork but come on. This was more along the lines of poor made carnitas. The pieces were so large. So wobbly. So fatty. Some pieces were hard with some wobble. Like the fat was still attached. Just look at the pic. I barely ate those. I had an agua de horchata. That was good. The grilled onions on the dish were on par. Nicely diced fresh onions and cilantro were nice and complementary. In the end I don't think I'll come back. It wasn't the lunch I expected. Maybe other dishes are better? I'd rather not chance it and go down the street for a full meal at the same price.

    You will not find a better restaurant to bring kids. They have a hallway where they tend to sit…read morepeople who have kids. There's lots of space. And you don't have to worry as much about being too loud or disturbing the tables without kids. They give crayons with the menu. The kids menu is great. Beyond that, the margaritas are delicious. I highly recommend the squash blossom quesadillas. Everything I have ordered here is great. The service is also very good. Sometimes, I wonder why I ever go anywhere else. This place checks all the boxes for a large family with small kids.

    Here is another place I would have sworn that I had reviewed before, yet I got a reminder from Yelp…read moreto review them, so I double-checked and low and behold there was no review there from Kurt V,, so here it is... I have been coming here for a few years now and have always had a very good experience every time. Parking is always good and available, even when they are busy. The restaurant itself is always clean and orderly. And the staff is always friendly and efficient. My favorite go-tos are the Queso Blanco and the Chicken Fajitas. The Queso is second to none. The Chicken Fajitas always have a nice wood grilled flavor to them that is sure to please you! A few times I have made it to dessert, but not very often. My favorite dessert herebis the churros. They are delicious in their own right, but they also give you different dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or even a vanilla cream. They are served hot and fresh!

    I almost want to gate-keep this place. When you find a hidden gems and you're afraid it's going to…read moreend up on one of those DFW love Instagram/tiktok post and ruin it. Lol But I also want to support this small restaurant and brag about literally how delicious everything is. From the empanadas that are cheesy and meaty you could eat as a meal alone, to all the flavors of each sauce they offer is exceptional. The poblano sauce is so good, I'd like to get a job in the kitchen for the recipe. We also asked for a side of the mole sauce just to try, it was smoky, sweet, and the right amount of spices. The tacos remind me of the tacos I get in Mexico with the grilled pineapple and picked onions. The salsa offered with the chips is warm and I love that. Will definitely be a go to restaurant for me. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

    My new favorite Tex Mex restaurant. Love the fajitas…read more It was my wife's and my first time here. Kayla gave us fantastic service. Ample seating with festive birthday. The manager also came and gave us free beef fajita samples since he found out it was our first time. The flavor and juiciness of the beef blew me away. My wife and I got queso to compliment the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa and bean dips. I was a big fan of the beans too, didn't think I would be. We ended up getting a trio (beef, chicken, shrimp) fajita 1/2 pound and it was perfect for the 2 of us. You can taste the grilled and charred flavor on the meats. The chicken and shrimp were slightly on the drier side but when combined with the sour cream, beans, guac, cheese, they were perfection. For the two people, the limitation ended up being more the toppings to the fajitas but it was just enough. At about $25 for 2, that was a steal. The queso was about $9. Right before we were about to leave, Kayla recommended the tres leches dessert and you know we had to try it. It was solid. Loved the cream on top. Definitely would come back again!

    On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided…read morethat we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest.
