Ok so for food, I got the nachos with asada during happy hour are a great deal, and the quesadilla with al pastor was another great choice. Oh and the salas's are all really flavorful and have kick but not too spicy. Everything was really good. I think it's family owned and family run business, which makes it even better to support. The service is really amazing they make you feel right at home. It's a casual spot and you really just feel comfortable hanging out. l definitely recommend Knight Cap and I would recommend you to try it as well.

I've been to Javier's on many occasions but my choice is always the Newport location because that…read moredrive and view are so worth it. Now I have a location around the corner so I came to check it out. Arrived on a Saturday around 230 p.m. so snagging a table was no issue. Opted for "outside" seating as the AC inside was too cold. This location is just as aesthetically pleasing as the Newport location (but no sunset views). Now for the food...I'm a creature of habit and always order my same items but this time I went for something new - the tablita. You can't go wrong with this option as it has all of your Mexican faves. We opted for the carne asada and the carnitas, which were cooked to perfection and flavorful. The tablita comes with refried beans, Mexican rice, queso freso, tortillas (flour or corn), salsa and pickled jalapeños. This is more than enough food for two people and you will definitely have leftovers. If you're craving a meat dish, I think this choice will satisfy your cravings. Service was great, the waiter kept checking in on us so no complaints there. Parking is very easy as there are parking structures in and around the area. You can also try to snag a meter on the street but parking in a structure is more convenient than driving around looking for parking. I'll definitely be returning when it is more convenient to come to this location than to make the long trek out to Newport. Note that the Newport location will not take ressies unless there are more than two in your party so you may want to see if this is Pasadena's policy as well if it's just two of your dining.

The menu has different varieties of tacos soup,seafood and breakfast items. I opted for posole since I went as soon as they opened at 9am. Now let me clarify. I am a posole connoisseur, so I am very picky when it comes to my posole. I can say with my ENTIRE chest that this by far was the best I've ever had. Posole was super clean, the broth was soooooo flavorful I did not even want to add anything to it! The meat omg was so fresh and the restaurant did not even skimp on the meat I had chunks in my bowl which was a bonus. The owners/workers were very sweet and delightful every time I looked up at them working they ran over stating if I needed anything. I cannot wait to return and try other items on their menu!

I would have said great, but the garnish overwhelmed the good stuff. Of course, I just swept it away. Underneath the garnish, the chile was fresh and crunchy. The enchilada, I liked as well, except it had cheese instead of meat that I thought I asked for. I have been to this place before, but it is nicely decorated now . It's a hole in the wall I would take a date at or family. Prices are prevailing rates, median.

This restaurant is in a strip mall with: DD's, Yoshinoya and Smart and Final on Azusa. We ordered these quesobirria tacos x4 $5 each,1 consome to share $1.50, and their surf & turf burrito $16. Did we expect the tacos to be better than the ones at Disney's DCA at a 10 rating? Especially since these were soft not fried like DCA's. No, but tell you what, these were an 8 since we are comparing. NOW, the next day, I heated up the leftover 2 tacos in my air fryer at 425 for 6 min. Guess what? They are a 10 out of 10, just like DCA's!!!! Fuego can you fry these up? I My husband and I shared the surf and turf burrito. It was large enough to share! Heavy, packed with moist rice, melted cheese, birria and shrimp. Only modification we ask for was no pico and no chipotle crema. The shrimp was freshly cooked on the plancha and to perfection (had a snap). I was worried at first, no one wants rubbery shrimp. This was by far our most favorite item, and probably the best burrito i've ever had!!!! My husband said he'll buy me my own next time. Sorry, I don't have a photo. We gobbled that up so quick. So now I'm thinking we should order burritos to eat now and order the tacos to take home for next day air fryer meals. Now we can skip on them at DCA and enjoy other things we love to eat at Disney .

I'm glad I made the right decision. On a Sunday afternoon, there was a short wait for a party of two. They were certainly busy with all the outdoor tables full too. When we got seated, they gave us some of the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had. I would go back just to eat this again. The menu is very extensive, but ultimately I decided to share the Supremo molcajete $31. There was so much food that we couldn't finish all of it. It came with guacamole, rice, and beans on the side. They also brought out warm tortillas. The best part of the meal was the singer. He would choose songs from his phone and then just sing casually into the mic.

These recipes have been handed down and developed with great spices and unique flavors. When you walk into this quaint, cute boutique restaurant, you are immediately engulfed in the aromas of quality food. It is a sensory experience. I was immediately welcomed by the friendly staff. I told them that I needed some time to understand some of the descriptions on the menu. They offered assistance explaining some of their unique dishes. I let them know that I was going to be taking all of the items to go. It was difficult to decide on only a few items. I knew I was going to be ordering for a couple days of great food. I decided on: Burrito Gordito Carne Asade Wet A Chicken and Beef Enchilada plate with red and green sauce with rice and beans. 1 Nachos (Chicken) with lots of cheese Taquitos ... Chicken, Beef, Pork with rice and beans While I waited for my order, I listened to the music playing in the background. There were a number of people that came in and picked up orders that they had phoned in or placed online. The staff was busy checking orders for pickup or taking care of the diners at the tables. They called my name and carefully double checked my order with me, before I left. When I arrived home, the fragrance of the fresh cooked food filled my kitchen. All the items were incredible! I was especially pleased with the cheese spice and flavor of the chicken nachos. I was able to add some of their fresh made salsa to add some extra kick. The enchiladas were incredible. The red and green sauce added color as well as flavor. The taquitos were also excellent. Filled with meat and flavor. The carne asada burrito was excellent. The flavor with the addition of some salsa and sauce was filled with meat. Meat was not just small shredded pieces but large flavorful bites. Well the main parts of my meal were exceptional so were the sides. The rice, the beans, the crisp tortilla chips, all added to this delightful eating experience. I will definitely be back to this hidden gem, located among some other great boutique stores and restaurants. The staff provided conversation as well as expertise. Lupita's is a great place to celebrate great food! It is easy to understand why they've been in business for such a long time. They truly take pride in their restaurant and their family's history.

We came specifically for the shrimp cocktail after hearing great things from our neighborhood…read morecommunity. This was actually our second attempt, the first time we showed up on a Saturday afternoon they were closed, despite their online hours saying otherwise. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and came back. Service was okay. The food? Disappointing. The shrimp cocktail was the whole reason we made the trip. It tasted watered down, had no seasoning, no lemon, and still had shell on the shrimp. It genuinely tasted like a pre-made Costco cocktail in red dyed water. The fajita plate (shrimp, beef, and chicken) was passable but nothing special. What really ended it for us were the hidden fees. We ordered the fajita plate $30 (+ taxes) a massive spread with a separate plate of rice and beans and they brought out THREE corn tortillas. THREE... I am Mexican. I have eaten at hundreds of restaurants in my lifetime and have never been given only three tortillas for a plate that size. We asked for more tortillas and were charged $4 with zero warning. It's not about the money it's the principle. The charge was never disclosed. When I brought it up with the owner, Lupita, she was dismissive and couldn't explain the reasoning it's not even homemade tortillas. You can literally buy 90 tortillas for $4 at a grocery store! She took off one of the charges but kept the other $2. Meanwhile, they offer unlimited chips and complimentary salsa without blinking. The inconsistency is baffling. We genuinely wanted to support this family-run restaurant we loved seeing the family come in together. But the disrespect during that conversation made it impossible to leave on good terms. Do yourself a favor and drive about a 1.5 miles down the street to El Metate. Their large shrimp cocktail is $15, is so flavorful, and the staff treats you like family. Their pozole is outstanding too. We found them on our first failed attempt to come here and we'll be going back to them exclusively from now on. We will never return to Lupita's and made it clear to not go there in our community thread with 15K people. Unless you like hidden fees and mediocre tasteless overpriced food then this is your place otherwise...don't come here.
