    Great brunch on the weekends. We arrived early, no wait and excellent service. The Bloody Mary's were made to perfection and didn't lack anything! Great ambiance, clean dining area.

    We have always loved coming to Lupe, but once I found out that you can get their flautas made with flour tortillas instead of corn... O-O.... my life changed and I will never have them any other way! If you've never tried them that way DO IT you won't regret it promise. The s service was great as always. If you're me for a quiet intimate place this really isn't it, this place is made for a fun time with friends, family or an after work get together.

    Chips, salsa verde and Charro beans to start off.

    This used to be our staple on the weekends. But they have changed the recipe somehow to some thing and every time I've gone back, I've gotten indigestion. Not sure if they're using palm oils, canola oils, soy oils?? but it's not agreeing with our bodies. Please revisit your ingredients list.

    I was very disappointed with this meal! I ordered the Pepper Shrimp Brochette; it read very yummy on the menu. But what came out was a shrimp that was so small that the meal looked and tasted like bacon wrapped in cheese. And even with the bacon and cheese, the flavor was lackluster. The dish was 25 dollars; maybe three jumbo shrimp would have been better with some flavor. Sometimes, you have to get heavy-handed when putting on the spices. But the service was on point, and it's a really pretty place. I loved all the pictures on the wall, the bar area was really nice with lots of seating, which probably make for a great time with the girls.

    June1,2024: The food suck beef fajitas dry no lime flavoring like their other locations frozen margarita not very frozen and they had at least ONE COCKROACH running across the floor under booths that I saw. I WONT NEVER COME BACK TO THIS LOCATION ITS THE SECOND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR FOOD SUCK. MOST OF THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS HAVE GREAT TASTE AND TENDERNESS IN THE BEEF FAJITAS . Which the manger was informed about the issues and offered to remake my food which I said no because if it's suck then it's gonna suck again remaking.

    This is the reason I come here and this location has messed up on this order so many times but new management completely killed it this time. Food was hot tasted great, and our waitress "LA" very attentive to our needs. She was awesome and helped us place an order for a party we are having 3 days from now.

    Came here on a random week day as we are new to the neighborhood and wanted to try Tex-Mex. We walked in and were promptly greeted. The service was excellent. We ordered the Fajitas Grandioso, the Queso Flamiado, and a margarita for myself. I opted for the classic margarita because it was our first time here. It did not disappoint. It was huge! Almost two margaritas in one. The Queso Flamiado with corozo was great with the huge tortillas it came with. The Fajitas Grandioso included beef, chicken and bacon wrapped shrimp. The beef cooked perfectly that it melts in your mouth. The chicken also very good, was soft and lean. The bacon wrapped shrimp with cheese could have had the bacon cooked a bit more but next time I'll ask for those extra crispy. The dish also came with a side of rice, beans, guac, sour cream and cheese. Everything was great, except for the rice. Personally for me, it lacked flavor. No dessert as it was so much food. Great value for the price, both on drinks and food. I would recommend this place to family and friends looking for comfort food.

    Chef Jesse Juarez brought us out mini fajita tacos. Not sure why this place is getting bad reviews. Jesse makes sure they take care of you.

    I have to admit I am really shocked my epic review doesn't have any likes or any kind of traction. Lupe tortilla is my go to for beef fajitas in Houston Texas. You simply cannot beat them. They taste really good full of flavor and I just the best. The customer service is really good as well. I take several clients and vendors there and they absolutely love it. You cannot go wrong with this location. The management and waitstaff do a great job. They are definitely not the cheapest in town but you are paying for quality. I have over 11 pics from this location. Y'all need to show this review some love!! This should be review of the day lol. I have literally never had a bad meal here and will continue to give them my business. I do not agree with the low ratings for this spot. The food I is simply amazing.

    Happy Cinco De Mayo! Met the ladies here to celebrate, & break bread…read more Thank you Jamila for selecting this original location of the Original Ninfas, to host, (our last supper, before your relocation from Houston to Florida.). A place I grew up in as a little girl in Beaumont but never have I've visit this "original" location. Stepping in to this spot felt like a restaurant in the country of Mexico. I ordered the El Henry. I absolutely loved my dish, only thing I would've chance was the cheese enchilada definitely would've swap for a chicken or beef one, or maybe even a flaunta. I really like the Mexican rice, it had little potatoes and carrots in it. Some of the best Mexican yellow rice I've had. They offer a cinco de mayo drink special. The only thing that seem to make it special was the drinks apparently were limited edition menu items. Nothing was special about the prices. The regular menu drinks were a dollar(s) less. The margarita I ordered first was peach coconut. I didn't taste the coconut at all. I swap for the peach strawberry ($14 or 15) which was great, sweet& strong. One did me just right. You get to select up to two flavors for additional $2 (for both verse each, that's a plus. Not worded on menu). If you select a third flavor an additional $2 would be added ($4 in total) I appreciate separate tickets provided after confirmation and no additional gratuity automatically added, which he got tip equally the same or more. When asked about the "empty" patio that was available, he informed us that the entire deck was reserved. Upon departing I noticed from the parking lot individual tables, of separate parties were occupying only 3 tables. It was 8 of us sitting at 2 tables. Which the table was pushed up against the wall, and one side was inaccessible, which took away spacing. Service was lovely space was really tight. Good thing some of the ladies didn't order full meals. Definitely wouldn't have been able to fit every plate.

Our server was efficient took our our order and in a few minutes, we had sizzling fajitas at the table....With all of the anticipated queso, chips, salsa, and condiments for our fajitas. The flavor of our steak fajitas was excellent, after dinner Ninfa's offers a free shuttle bus to the baseball park. They drop you off and pick you up after the game. Unfortunately, Houston did not win, but we thoroughly enjoyed the meal before the game. If you're looking for traditional Mexican dinner, do not miss Ninfa's.

Upon walking in the restaurant was clean it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but the aroma of the food! OMG!

He cleaned his plate...literally not a grain of rice in sight! I had the smoked chicken verde enchiladas and WOW! What an amazing dish.

I will definitely be back to visit when I return!

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
