Finally... A burrito that comes close to what we used to get back in California! We've been…read moresearching for so long and I had honestly given up multiple times, but like all great explorers, we endured and persevered. Taqueria Lupita is a great spot nestled inside a gas station market. As soon as we walked in, I knew we were in for a treat. The smell of meat on the griddle and the aroma of toasted tortillas met our noses and it made my mouth instantly start salivating. The team behind the counter was working fast and got our order out super quick. I opted for a chicken burrito and it took all of my self control to keep from eating it on the drive home. But like all great explorers of old, we had to take our bounty back to the motherland for all to enjoy. I cut it open and see what the cross section looked like, and it was practically perfect. I forgot to ask for avocado, so that's on me. We got the red and green salsas with it and they were both great. I loved the roasty undertones and heat of the red salsa. The first bite of this burrito took me back to another place, far from Tennessee. It was a glorious first bite. The melty cheese, the rice, beans and the chicken combined to make the most delicious symphony of flavors. I can't say enough good things about this burrito, you have to try it for yourself. I'm eager to try more things on their menu, especially the torta, it looked amazing.

As soon as we saw the (previously Oakland) Raiders logo, we knew it was gonna be good! I got the steak (asada) burrito - it came with rice, beans, meat, sour cream, and lettuce. If I had to give a critique, I'd say it's just missing a little guac. But oh my word, this burrito transported me right back to California! The flavors were spot on, the ratios were perfect. It may have taken us five years, but we finally found a Mexican spot that will definitely be in our rotation. It's located inside a small gas station, which confused us at first. But once we walked in, it was clear where to order. Both guys working seemed extremely kind and helpful, and overall just happy to be serving people incredible food.

That means expect salsas to be spicy and absolutely everything to be exploding with taste. Service is great, you order at the counter and they will answer all your questions.

But I've never felt unsafe.

If from other, this isn't Taco Bell or anything like the others up or down the street. Real deal. Amazing version of Birria (beef, not goat - and I'm not sure if they have chivo). Served with a side of drippings broth, and dipping is heaven. Caldo de Res is real. Rarely found in full servings, this is a meal by itself and probably enough for 2-3 people. The house made salsas in the refrigerator next to the fountain drinks are perfection. Green is the sluicy Jalapeño crema often accompanying street tacos. And the Red is a roasted chipotle style with the more upfront heat. Parking is plentiful. Service is order, take a number and seat yourself. Large patio when the weather permits.

The…read morefood is extremely good every time I go, and it always comes out hot and fresh, which is something I really appreciate. You can tell they care about the quality and getting it to the table right. The vibes inside are great as well. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, which makes it a really enjoyable place to sit down and eat rather than just rushing through a meal. It's also a perfect lunch spot for me because of how close it is to my workplace. When you combine the convenience with consistently great food and a good atmosphere, it's hard to beat. If you're in Murfreesboro and craving Mexican food, Mi Patria should definitely be at the top of your list.

It appeared that they had a group of people in the center of the restaurant whom everyone was trying to take care of. The taste of the food in all honesty was 1 step above Taco Bell, and I love some Taco Bell, so that isn't a dis at all. My boyfriend and I both had burritos, mine had carnitas and his had the option of ground beef and chicken. He said the chicken was so bland, that the only way he knew it was there is that it fell out of the burrito. Would I go back, yes, because it reminded me of when I lived in Chattanooga.

I arrived and my server Raquel got me set up with a beer and brought me some chips and salsa. The Pozole Verde is HUGE, enough for three people because I was only able to make a small dent in it. The chips were crispy and the salsa surprised me, great flavor! The Pozole is a rich stew loaded a solid green tomatillo/chile broth, shredded chicken, hominy, while you add the sides of radish, lime juice, lettuce, cilantro, and onions. The spice level (I am a wimp) on this stew is close to the top of my range causing some sweating and sniffles. The downside...the furnishing could use some rehab. Upside...good food and service, I'll visit again to try their Birria Ramen.

They had menudo as their special for the day, so I tried that, the taco salad, and rice. The salsa here was very good and flavorful. I really liked the salsa a lot.

I had ground beef with my taco salad and I felt it had a nice flavor. Our server was also very nice and informative. We didn't have a bad experience and will probably be back to try other items.
