Their lengua (tongue) tacos, shrimp ceviche, mole enchiladas, nachos, and horchata- holy shit! So good!!! I came here with 3 fellow yelpers and 2 kids who all approved! Upon being seated, Lupita's gave us a basket of yummy, crunchy, thick tortilla chips and salsa. Our table already had red tomato-based and green tomatillo-based sauces in jars as all-purpose condiments, both with shy spice that slowly builds. After a few minutes, we were served everything we ordered at the same time. To drink, their milk-based Horchata- spiced with cinnamon and hints of almond/sesame had just enough sweetness- so delicious! Their tasty Lengua Tacos impressed with the perfect texture of tender, marinated beef tongue uplifted by lime, onions, and cilantro. Then the Shrimp Ceviche was so fresh, so yum with a similar but more tomato-based preparation topped with fresh avocado. Then the Mole Enchiladas were all about the sauce (only available on the weekend) -so chocolatey, slightly smokey, and spicy! I didn't waste any of this. Their Nachos Special had the best toppings and a delightful black bean mash equally distributed among all chips. We couldn't leave this alone. Then Holy Guacamole! Their guac was really good and addictive, even without any spice. Finally, the Cheese Quesadilla was just meh- I wouldn't get this again, but everything else- YES, PLEASE!!!

This was only my first time at Lupita's but I 100% plan to return. The food was truly authentic…read moremexican food and dining in the restaurant made me feel like I was actually in Mexico. I had the steak tacos and it was incredibly comforting and flavorful. The Horchata was great too. The service was okay -- not outstanding but not bad either. If you come from a Mexican family and are feeling homesick then this is absolutely the kind of place that will make you feel right at home. The staff is predominantly Spanish-speaking so keep that in mind if you plan to visit for the first time.

This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

I went for happy hour 4-6pm in the bar which had $6 margaritas and $5-9 appetizers. I enjoyed the street corn which was covered in toppings. I shared the mini chicken chimi and wings which were flavorful and tasty. I felt the portions were decent to fill us up for dinner. They even had live music in the bar area on Wednesday nights! The vibes are definitely of an old school Mexican restaurant and a bit dark inside. Service is always friendly!

The tamales de pollo were tasty enough that I finished them, and the beans seemed more homemade than out of a can. They didn't have that lardy taste and feel. I would have liked more lettuce, and maybe some sour cream, but probably best calorie-wise that I didn't have it. I wouldn't rush to go back here, but I'd eat it again if not much else was open to try.

The meat is perfect and I get that they wanna keep the natural flavors of the meats which is great but they just need a literal tinsy bit of salt. Service is nice but I can't speak for ambiance due to not dining in. For some reason I don't get full off these tacos like when I go to Los tacos in New York. (Try Los tacos!!) Okay the tip review was from 2025 I have been here about 7 times. The tacos taste a bit better but them tortillas man! They need better tortillas the texture of meat is good and you want your food to stay together while you eat it.
