My new favorite Tex Mex restaurant. Love the fajitas. It was my wife's and my first time here. Kayla gave us fantastic service. Ample seating with festive birthday. The manager also came and gave us free beef fajita samples since he found out it was our first time. The flavor and juiciness of the beef blew me away. My wife and I got queso to compliment the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa and bean dips. I was a big fan of the beans too, didn't think I would be. We ended up getting a trio (beef, chicken, shrimp) fajita 1/2 pound and it was perfect for the 2 of us. You can taste the grilled and charred flavor on the meats. The chicken and shrimp were slightly on the drier side but when combined with the sour cream, beans, guac, cheese, they were perfection. For the two people, the limitation ended up being more the toppings to the fajitas but it was just enough. At about $25 for 2, that was a steal. The queso was about $9. Right before we were about to leave, Kayla recommended the tres leches dessert and you know we had to try it. It was solid. Loved the cream on top. Definitely would come back again! read more

On our way back from Asia, my husband and I had a stop through the DFW area and immediately decided that we needed to take advantage of being back near a region that really knows Mexican food. Living in Sioux Falls has many positives, but distinct and deeply flavorful Mexican cuisine is unfortunately still something that's a little harder to come by compared to places like Arizona or Texas. So, we made it a point to stop at Lupe Tortilla while passing through Irving. The first thing we noticed was how packed the restaurant was during lunch. People were pouring in steadily, and the atmosphere had that energetic local favorite feeling where you know people come because they genuinely enjoy the food. Thankfully, the meal itself delivered. Now, was it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it was still leagues beyond most of what we've experienced lately back home in South Dakota. The carne asada especially stood out. The portion was massive, tender, and packed with smoky, savory flavor. You could immediately tell it had actually spent some time on a grill instead of simply being rushed out of a kitchen. We also enjoyed the tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, all of which had that comforting Tex-Mex richness and seasoning that we've really missed. Unfortunately, we were on a fairly tight travel schedule and couldn't linger the way we would have liked. Honestly, this felt like the sort of place where you could easily sit awhile longer, enjoy another drink, sample more dishes, and just soak in the lively atmosphere. Still, even as a quick stop, it was a great experience and a delicious reminder of how much we miss the bold Mexican food culture of the Southwest. read more

Always the go-to Mexican restaurant in DFW. Love this. Come here many times a month with the family. We love Claudio and angel! The Lupe (enchilada plate) always amazing. Chips and salsa, queso, to die for! The butterfly shrimp fajitas and steak are amazing. Service is always wonderful; great vibes as always. read more

Terrible experience today. We arrived at 11:00 AM when they opened. We ordered about 10 minutes after we were seated. 30 minutes later the manager came to our table to inform us that whatever machine they use to make the chip for the lunch salad was broken and if we would like to wait or order something else. We said the Chip really wasn't that important so we would just take the salads without the chip. During our 30 minute wait a table of two ladies we're seated next to us and ordered a few minutes after they sat down. Their food of fajitas and an enchilada plate came out soon after they ordered. Meanwhile, 45 minutes later, the lady brings our food two lunch salads and one fajita taco. We asked to speak to the manager. It takes a while for him to come over and when he does, I don't even recall him apologizing for the 45 minute wait. All he said is oh I had no idea it had been that long. Would you like me to bring you some to go boxes? We said yes and the waitress brought to go boxes and the bill. I told her that he said he would take care of it and we assumed the BILL, but apparently he was talking about getting to go boxes to our table. I told the waitress we were not paying for this order as we had been here almost an hour. My daughter needed to get back to work. None of us had eaten, and there was no way that we should be charged for this food. She went back and talked to the manager, and he finally agreed to cop our food. The manager absolutely did not seem to care that we have been waiting almost an hour for our food and was willing to do nothing about it to make things better. I actually felt kind of bad for the waitress having to bring out food to another table after we have been waiting 45 minutes for hours, and they were already getting served. Terrible service terrible Management. Do better Lupe. read more

I've been to several Lupe Tortilla locations and generally everything is great. Today though, wow. Everyone who was seated after us were served. I finally saw our server again and asked how much longer and he said he'd check on it. Another server showed up with someone elses order to which we kindly said this isn't our order, and away she went. The food took 40 min to show up which was very unusual for them. The Mgr came by to do a how's everything check as usual. We told her we just got it and haven't had the chance to take a bite yet. She said "well your ticket time doesn't look bad". She then just non chalantly walked off. We weren't trying to get anyone in trouble, a comp or anything like that. She asked how everything was and I told her. We finished our meal and waited about another 15 min before I went to look for our server to get our check as I needed to get back to work. When I finally found him and asked for the check he appeared put out and said here handing it to me. Again, I wasn't being any way that would indicate I was upset. I just needed to leave. I started walking back to the table and he said "here" ! and pointed to where take out usually is to ring me up. Mmmmokay, he rang it up and pointed at the cc machine and walked off. Okay, buddy, you have a good day too. We'll be back but this experience was just out of the ordinary for their staff. And yes, I still tipped the guy. read more

The food was just okay overall. The lobster tacos I ordered were quite salty, as were the chicken enchiladas my friend got. I finished one taco, but for the second I only ate the lobster since I didn't want to waste it, especially considering the $30+ price point. My husband ordered the carne asada steak Lupe and said it was fine, though he's definitely had better. On a more positive note, the chili con queso was good, and the frozen strawberry margarita was both tasty and generously sized. Service was friendly, but we were given multiple chip refills without being asked, while the salsa and beans that come with them were never replenished, which felt a bit unbalanced. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere and was on the louder side, which made it a little difficult at times to hear our server. My Apple Watch even gave me a loud-environment alert, so it might be something to keep in mind if you prefer a quieter dining experience. read more

It's something about the lime marinated meats especially the beef, that keep me coming back to Lupe Tortilla. I typically come to the Irving location when I land at DFW. It's in a retail/restaurant area, so there's plenty of parking. I wish I could say how good everything is, but I typically always get the 1/2 steak fajitas. I will say the I've had the Chipotle smoked ribs a few times and they are really good too. But the flavor and tenderness of the steak fajitas, is what keeps me coming back. The beans for your chips are pretty good too. I typically always sit at the bar where the service can be a little hit or miss, but I've never had an major issues. I've had Lupe in 3 or 4 different locations in Texas and my fajitas always taste great!! read more

Great Mexican vibe and kind of feels like you have to order a margarita. Very colorful inside and a great patio with large garage doors that open up when the weather is nice. The margaritas are good but look at the menu because a lot of them have the same ingredients but different prices. Salsa and queso were good, fajitas were sizzling and well seasoned, and the fish tacos were great. We went on a Saturday evening and there was no wait for a table for 2. read more

I wish I had more pictures but the whole process of getting my catering order was too complicated. My order was not there when I went to pick it up, was told it was out for delivery. Well once I get back to the office I get a call saying it was at the restaurant, they did however take off the delivery fee for the misunderstanding. But I ordered catering for around 60 people and didn't like it was enough food, the chicken was also dry but the steak was decent. I also took a pic of how the chips were bagged, would not have expected this, very unsanitary. The extra salsas and condiments were also put into like those large gallon containers that were difficult to open and just way too big, overall disappointed with my experience. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Enchilada and rice - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

They have complimentary chips and salsa once you are seated. The chips were fresh and the salsa was typical for a Mexican place. I got the spinach and artichoke enchiladas ($19) and it came out in about 20 minutes. Enchiladas were alright, loaded with sauce but not much spinach and artichoke filling. The rice and beans were meh. Staff were nice. Overall for a chain restaurant it was alright, nothing fancy but it got the job done.

Bravo Lupe! Father's Day disaster with a refusal to seat a party of 6 at The Ranch brought us here and we are not mad! Well, not at Lupe anyway. Super crowded of course as it was Sunday lunch but everyone was welcoming, kind and honestly seemed happy to see us. So much customer service. You guys at The Ranch might come get a master class on service here? The kitchen was busy, but we were advised and food came quickly enough to make us all happy and it was hot. Everyone got something completely different and everyone was surprisingly happy with their choices. No rushing us out the door, great service and even the manager came just to check on us. Thank you so much for being so hospitable and serving us a great Father's Day meal!! We will return. read more

I visited Lupe Tortilla in Irving, Texas, while in Dallas for work, and I couldn't miss the chance to return to one of my favorites from my time living in Houston. My friend recommended it as our meetup spot, and it did not disappoint! The fajitas are simply incredible. I opted for the steak fajitas, perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor. The enormous flour tortillas are a highlight for me; I know you can get corn, but I absolutely love the flour ones. They're just huge and delicious! We also enjoyed the perfect margaritas--three of them, to be exact. Sorry, not sorry! They were amazing. Customer service was good and the ambiance is always lively!! Overall, I had a fantastic time at Lupe Tortilla. It's one of my favorite Tex-Mex places in the country, and I plan to visit every time I'm in Houston, Dallas, or anywhere it's located. read more

Hot sauce was tasteless. No flavor and when I asked for the other sauce , manager came out and told me they discontinued it. they took away the good hot sauce and left the tasteless one to be served. His solution was to bring me a chopped Serrano peppers and later on I saw that I was charged for it which he failed to mentioned it will be an additional cost. I saw a comment card for my check number that they filled out and placed it face down at the bottom and it was hidden by my check. I just happened to notice it and flipped it. I never filled it out and it was really sneaky that they did this. I AM SHOCKED they did this. They wrote 5 star on everything and make it look like I filled it out. Very sneaky and wrong! Lupe owner should find out whose handwriting it is and it's definitely not mine! read more

We felt it had been a while since we had Mexican cuisine, so we pulled on over on our way home. I have never been given beans with chips and salsa but I am not complaining. The beans were so good, I almost ordered a side but contained myself on that one. Spicy Red Enchiladas (3) Roasted chicken, corn tortillas, Jack cheese, spicy red sauce, pico de gallo, sour cream. 17.95 ----Everything was good except the sauce they used to cover the enchiladas. It turned out to be the salsa they served with the chips and we were not a fan. I am super picky over my rice and beans and really enjoyed them here. Tortilla Soup Grilled chicken, tortilla strips, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, Jack cheese, poblano peppers & sliced avocado. 15.95 --- I am a sucker for soup and one of my favorites is Tortillas Soup, super happy with my order and they put an ample amount cheese! My margarita flight was 19.99 --- I could not drink any of my margaritas they were overly sweet and syrupy the flavors did not mesh with the alcohol, but my theory is this had to be bottom shelf tequila. read more

Came here with a group of coworkers for lunch and service was decent for the party size we had. It wasn't too crowded and there was music playing. They kept the chips and salsa coming too which was nice. Now for the food! Chicken fajitas: 7/10 chicken was moist and seasoned okay. Green enchiladas: 8/10 really good and flavorful. Beef fajitas: 8/10 tortillas were the star but the steak was a little salty for one person who ordered it. I also ordered this and the steak was seasoned nicely to me and I enjoyed the jalapeños. Chicken quesadilla: 8/10 these were huge! Forgot to get a pic but the person who ordered this enjoyed the meal. Chicken flautas: 8/10 person enjoyed this dish. Nothing bad to say about it. read more

We come here almost every week. I mean, we are very frequent customers. But today I got a little irritated at the hostess for lying to me. We came in, asked for a booth and were taken to a table. There was literally an open booth right next to the table. Asked if we could sit there instead. Hostess said that booth was in a "closed section for the day". Ok so we sit at the table and not ten minutes later the very next people brought in were taken to that booth and it was being waited on by the same server we had. I realize this is a trivial issue, but I don't like being lied to. That's not a good look for any customers, much less your regular ones. The hosting crew need to be trained not to lie to customers. read more

We have out-of-town guests who were craving TexMex, so decided to do brunch at our neighborhood Lupe Tortilla! We were lucky to get a table, the the place was packed! I like the warm, comfy decor and how spacious it is for large grops. We loved their skinny margaritas with light and refreshing fresh lime flavor. Everyone loved the food too ... So many options with the lunch and brunch menu offerings! The pecan praline pancakes were yumm... huge, almost a foot in diameter, served rolled up with pecans and syrup. The salad was so fresh and flavorful with roasted pepper. Service was attentive despite of how crowded it was. Always a reliably great experience! read more

We visited Lupe's after being invited by my parents. The atmosphere was energetic with rustic Mexican-style decor. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Before the food arrived, we were served chips, salsa, and boracho beans, which were a nice touch. The menu is large, though the prices were higher than expected. That said, the portions were generous, and we're all taking home leftovers. The beef fajitas were delicious--tender meat with all the fixings and fantastic large flour tortillas. The Tex Mex enchiladas and Sr. Gaffigan enchiladas were good, but they had a bit too much cheese for our taste. And it may sound silly, but their unsweet iced tea was strong and really tasty. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Back dining area - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

I would rate this place 3.5 stars, but as always, I round up. I've eaten here a couple of times now, and it is a solid option for the area. The food is always good, hot, and fresh (as are the chips), and seating is plentiful. Lupe is let down by how slow the service is, and the wait staff in general seem to wish they were anywhere else but at work. I do enjoy the portion sizes, as I often have food to take home for later, which is one of my favorite things! The decor is also fun and lively, with bright colors and patterns. I would come here again, I just have to know that the meal will not be quick so my expectations are set accordingly. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Title: A Long-Time Customer is Deeply Disappointed: Where Did the Value Go? I'm writing this review as a long-time patron of Lupe Tortilla, which makes this experience all the more difficult to share. For years, this was my absolute go-to spot for consistently great food, and I've always considered it a benchmark for quality Tex-Mex. Unfortunately, my latest visit--where I proudly introduced the restaurant to a first-time friend--left me feeling genuinely embarrassed and deeply disappointed in the direction the pricing has taken. The centerpiece of our meal was, as always, the Beef Fajitas for Two. While the quality of the beef remains high (still the garlic/lime/buttery tender beef I remember), the portion-to-price ratio has frankly become untenable. We were met with significant sticker shock upon receiving the bill ($63). What was once a fantastic splurge is now simply exorbitant, and it made the entire meal feel less like a treat and more like an over-budget expense. It was impossible not to compare the current cost to the diminished value. The second major point of frustration came with the beverages. We ordered the Happy Hour Reposado Margaritas, expecting a reasonable deal to accompany the food. The cost of these margaritas, even with the supposed "happy hour" pricing, was shockingly high. When the Reposado margaritas are priced to feel like a premium cocktail special, the entire concept of a "happy hour" falls apart ($22). Bringing a friend here for their first time, only to experience this obvious and drastic dip in value, was frustrating. I wanted to showcase the Lupe I knew and loved, but instead, I had to apologize for the final bill. I sincerely hope management re-evaluates their pricing model, particularly on staples like the beef fajitas and the "happy hour" drinks. Until a better balance is struck, my long run as a loyal customer is sadly on pause. read more

This restaurant is not vegetarian friendly!! They have lard in their flour tortillas and chicken broth in their rice. This made it very difficult to find something to eat here. The fajita was good with corn tortilla, I just have a preference for flour so I was left unsatisfied. Food is extremely spice! Salsa is also very spicy! Service was good. However we ordered the fajita and he automatically assumed we were ordering the 1 lb fajita which turned out to be 35. It would have been better if he asked us which one we wanted because they didn't give those options on the menu. Ambiance was pretty nice. Great place for a family dinner and to catch up with friends! read more
