My fiancé and I checked out Las Lupitas for lunch and we were a bit turned off...the food was alright, but the place was crammed, and our waitress was kinda rude. I typically don't find issue with eating in smaller places but this hole in the wall was packed. You will also need to know some Spanish to get by. At the end our waitress was super short with us and just wanted us to get out. The empanadas had more of a sweet dough, and the chicken in the quesadilla was minced. I did enjoy the huerata but it was a little too spicy for me. read more

Las Lupitas is the total embodiment of a "hole in the wall" restaurant serving mind blowing food at a great price. Came in today with my youngest son after some time at Park Circle. I had a taco asada and a tamale, he had two of the same and French fries. The tacos were just so amazing! And the tamale was the best I have ever had, except maybe this one in San Francisco. Chunks of fresh meat inside, not the ground up stuff in most tamales. Just really good, fresh food, served with a smile in a family restaurant. You have got to try this place. J.Ja read more

I stopped by Las Lupitas otw to Charleston for the day and grabbed a small handful of tacos. Everything was good, the tortillas taste fresh, the salsa was great, the service was fast, and they hit the spot. Definitely not the best tacos I've ever had in my entire life but well worth stopping by and supporting a small business if you're in the area or just passing through. read more

Not your run of the mill Mexican spot. Authentic, rustic, and delicious. Today was my first time and I loved it. The menu is unique as well as everything else about the place. My only issue - cash only. I have no problem with that, I just wish they had it posted somewhere. No signs anywhere stating 'cash only'. Another slight cause for concern - no prices posted anywhere, yes, no prices on the menu.... read more

Holy sh!t. This is so so good. I don't want to share with everyone but they deserve to be recognized. Went here for a late lunch one day by myself and got the chicken tacos. They had amazing flavor (and a lot of spice). Served with a little hot salsa verde I think? Was hotter than most salsa verde. Service was good- I came in for a to-go order and they took my order quickly. I stepped out for a call and when I came back it was already ready. I'm going to start taking clients here. Truly a great spot. read more

This is truly a "Mexican " Restaurant. Don't expect ambience, it is a little hole in the wall. The food was very good although a little pricey. Huevos Rancheros, $15. Very little choice of beverage. So we settled on water. No chips and salsa. But it was good and I would definately recommend if you like authentic Mexican cuisine. read more

Large, pitchers of Horchata added to a healthy (large) portion of a steak burrito. Worth the try. A few tables, small building, but able to put out bangin' food. read more

I came here for a quick lunch after filtering through the other options in the area. I ordered 3 tacos to go for $9. Good value and amazing quality. I ate in my car facing the street for entertainment. Lots of activity to watch for taco eating. 10/10. The women at the counter were so helpful and friendly!! read more

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before. I most recently had four different tacos: carnitas, chicharrón, Al pastor, and asada.

DO NOT recommend eating here, HAD A HOMELESS PERSON NEARLY GRAB MY TORTA was not pleasant at all. place smells funny and is too small feels UNCOMFORTABLE customer service is bad, they touch the food with there bare hands, don't wash there hands after the bathroom and cook food improperly. AND TO TOP IT OFF i personally know the owner. Terrible management read more

My dad and I decided to come here based on the 5 star average reviews on Yelp. I ordered the huarache with chorizo (a popular dish in Mexico City that still hasn't become mainstream in Mexican restaurants here in the USA). It was very good. My dad ordered a burrito with roasted pork (pastor) and he really liked it. The portion size on his was huge. He ended up taking about half of it home. The ambiance of the place feels authentic and everything is both in English and English. We definitely feel the 5 star rating is justified. read more

My word, the food at Las Luputas is just breathtaking. I've had a lot of the tacos - asada, chicken, barbacoa, chorizo, pastor. I've also had the torta, huaraches, and tres leches cake. All are simply incredible and highlight the lack of authentic Mexican food we have in the region. Go here once and it will instantly become a restaurant in your rotation. Simply outstanding, read more

If your covid-cravings are calling for authentic mexican, then don't forget you can call in an order to Las Lupitas for takeout. They still only take cash so get your sanitizer out and tell them to keep the change. The order process on the phone was a little dicey mainly because I haven't been keeping up with my Duolingo notifications. I ordered two barbacoa quesadillas (don't judge) and picked them up about ten minutes later. I was in and out in a flash and devouring my quesadillas from the comfort of my couch in no time. read more

This is a little shack off the side of the road, if that bothers you DON'T GO. The place is very clean and there's the option to sit inside or outside. The amount of food was plentiful for the price. We paid $40 for 4 people AND we had leftovers. The food came out quickly, was hot, and the ingredients were obviously very fresh and homemade. Definitely glad I took the time to visit here on my short trip to Charleston. I would eat here every day if I could! It is great, AUTHENTIC Mexican. read more

Food was amazing! Loved the menu with many items that aren't standard at other Mexican restaurants. Service was good (we sat outside). No prices noted on the menu so plan to have enough cash ready to cover. For us, it was roughly $20 per person (but we all had entrees and also a shared dish). Cute little spot! read more

This is definitely not the spot to get your menudo. It is flavorless and does not have your traditional pata. I am not a hominy person so it's ok but if you like hominy inside yours then don't even try it. The tortillas are machine made and are a little tough on the outer edges. The tortilla on the picture seemed odd not sure why it came like that additionally this location only cash. I am only reviewing my menudo and would definitely not be back here for it. Perhaps the rest of the food items are better but I guess I will never find out since I won't be back read more

No frills restaurant offering authentic Mexican food. The dining area is small, booths are small, consider it cozy. Menu was originally wrote on big dry-erase board, in Spanish. It's still there but they've added translated menus in the last couple of months. Ive tried several different tacos...steak, pork, and chicken were all good. Recently tried there burritos. Wow, they are huge, big enough to share with someone else you are ready to gorge yourself. Tacos are $2, burritos are $8. Great spot for lunch but beyond 1130 they often get really busy because the local work force loves this place, as do I. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the mood for some real authentic cooking and at an awesome price. read more

Great find in Charleston and heavy competition for my Mount Pleasant favorite, Carmen Y Juan. This North Charleston shack is as authentic as can be. Inside is small but there's ample parking. They are so authentic, that they barely speak English so bring your best Spanish. Obviously the menu is in English so you can point what you want. Although in our experience, even with broken Spanish, they still mess up the order but it worked out in the end. I ordered the quesadilla, sope and a taco and mixed, barbacoa, carnita and chicken. The definite favorite was the quesadilla with the perfect mix of cheese and crispness. Next time I'm definitely going to get a juice or their horchata as I overlooked that but a Mexican coke to go with all this goodness, isn't bad either Prices are more than fair and you get a quick service. Definitely a new go-to spot when I'm in North Charleston read more

Nothing fancy just great Mexican dishes, small inside with giant flavors and good sized portions, prices are great, so is variety of dishes. This isnt you typical taco bell type food, more like what your taste buds are screaming for read more

Amazing food! Prices are more then fair. And if you want to complain about the food that comes out of this restaurant, then I suggest you go downtown where the rest of the people who complain about everything reside. read more

Went to this joint today in search of authentic Mexican food. It's a tiny place, maybe 5 tables. Glad I speak Spanish because it helped clarify the menu. VERY awesome staff, friendly and helpful. Food was pretty good. There was a ton of it!! What I can say is this; my ideal Mexican food is the regional fare from San Diego / Tijuana. Something that just isn't available in SC. Good effort by the folks at Las Lupitas. read more

This place may be good but I will not come here anymore they're stealing and they're lying. I come here every weekend and order the same thing and now they want to say it's a different price ($5 more than regular price) and they said it's always been that. How dare they when I literally come here every fucking weekend. It even says ON THE MENU the price and in my face they're saying no it's not. Fuck this place read more

I'm always on the hunt for authentic street tacos. Tex-Mex just isn't my thing... The tacos here are great! I tried my go to tacos... Carne Asada and Al Pastor. Homemade tortillas, good meat, and nice sides come with the tacos. They were filling and tasty! I particularly loved that they give you a side of grilled peppers and other goodies. One bite of taco, one bite of peppers/onions... mmmmm. I also ordered the horchata... holy horchata! That thing was huge! It came in a small pitcher which made it seem bigger than your typical Styrofoam cup. They had a good selection of salsa, which I appreciate. I love it spicy! They are cash only though, so make sure to have some handy. Not everyone is fluent in English but that's ok! Luckily there was someone there that could explain a couple things to me. Otherwise, just point and pay =) I will be back to try more than just tacos. Like some others say, don't let the exterior stop you from stopping in. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a hole in the wall restaurant with authentic food. We tried the steak burrito, steak quesadilla & chicharron taco. Came out to be ~$25 after tip, hard to beat these days. You also have the choice of flour or corn shells, we opted for flour for everything & they arrived warm & fluffy. The bled of cheeses had great flavor without being too overpowering & the hot sauce has a kick (it's on the side)! The only unfortunate part, they were out of chicken but the steak wasn't bad. I can't compare it to much as I haven't tried a lot of steak in Mexican dishes but it was not bad. It's a ground steak though so you're not getting large pieces. All in all, great flavors & worth a try! read more

Had lunch with a friend- definitely recommend this place to try- food was great, portions were great and the taste was great. Doesn't serve chips and salsa, also is a cash only payment option so plan for that. Otherwise - definitely would eat here again read more

Awesome authentic Mexican. The chicken burrito feeds two easily. Cash only. Not the safest location.

Nice service and fast turnaround. Only thing, they only had pork tamales and wouldn't have chicken soon. Still ordered and they were good; Salvadoran style (in banana leaves). read more

This place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. I've been here 3 times and it has been delicious every time. First time I had 4 pastor tacos to go. Love the crispy roasted pork on them. Second time I got a steak torta. Huge sandwich, fresh veggies and tender steak. Third time I went with my fiancé and got 3 pastor tacos (see a trend haha) and a bowl of the Caldo de Res (beef soup) which I think is my new favorite. Amazing soup with plenty of tender beef, carrots, cabbage, celery and some corn. Comes with a side of house made tortillas, rice, and a small bowl of cilantro, diced red onion and dried peppers. Pretty sure I'm going to be trying all of the soups very soon. I cannot recommend this place enough. There is a bit of a language barrier if you do not speak Spanish so be patient. read more

If you're looking for authentic, this is definitely it. There are no menus, as all of the choices are written on the board, in Spanish. Can you get any better than that? - I ordered chicken tacos, a chicken sope, and an asada huarache, I also got the green and red salsa! Since I couldn't decide, I poured a mixture of both on everything. Literally, the explosion of flavor was crazy. It was spicy, extremely well seasoned, so fresh ... just so good, I can say it's some of the best food I've had. I also liked how the Asada came a one big steak so I had the option to rip it up and place it on the huarache.. idk‍I liked that. Also, the price wasn't bad. I got all of my food and a Mexican coke for $18, not bad at all. Unless you hate great food, you'll love this place. Please go.. Stop wasting money at those "Mexican" restaurants around town and give Las Lupitas a try. read more

Gross and not Mexican food at all. They don't have the traditional Mexican rice nor pinto beans. Their burritos were filled with lettuce and a very small amount of tough meat. Very disappointed. read more

So happy we stumbled onto this place when a nearby (no doubt mediocre) Mexican place was closed. I always judge by the heuvos rancheros, and these were very flavorful. Excellent tortillas. My son had tacos carnitas and was impressed. Hope to be back sometime. Cash only. Also a good place to practice your Spanish. read more

Great experience! Loved the food. The customer service went beyond expectations. 10/10 would recommend :)

Uh... Yum. Dont be fooled by the roadside shack appearances, this is authentic and very tasty. Had to wait a good long while during the lunch rush for take out, but well worth the wait. Since we were the only non Hispanic folks in a packed place, I'm assuming the locals like it too. Seemed to be very popular and family like atmosphere. I will go back! Las love me some Las Lupitas. read more

Las lupitas has what makes some Mexican food great, which is fresh ingredients, rich flavors and an authentic feel. After several months of glancing at the place next to Ace Hardware on Redbank, I finally popped in. The women at the counter was very busy with what sounded like a long, long personal call but I waited until she put it down to order, which I did en Espanol. Four tacos carnitas con horchata, with was streaming away in a machine by the window. No air conditioning, but lots of fans to move the air. I took my tacos to go and was satisfied with the result. Chopped onions, cilantro, lime and a generous helping of chopped porK. The pork was a bit drier than I'm used to, but all together a nice meal, especially for $8 and some change. read more
