I went to a LT years back in Houston and really loved their chicken quesadillas. So, remembering how delicious it was, I convinced my husband to visit this one on the way back from the beach. We ordered online for a pickup. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my husband ordered something else, which I can't remember. We txt the restaurant to let them know we had arrived, 10-15min passed and heard nothing. My husband went inside to let them know that we had been waiting outside and the guy told him, "We didn't get a text." {rolling eyes} Got home and ate our food which included queso. Honestly, we were quite disappointed w the service and the food. The food barely had any seasoning and tasted bland. The chips w the queso was reasonably thin and wasn't too bad, but realized another restaurant we frequent is much better. Will we return? Most likely not. Such a disappointment. read more

This location has been opened for a year and it's embarrassing slow not even embarrassing it's just bad . The staff here literally takes there sweet ass time when your in a rush and they know that your in a rush they take there time on purpose just to piss ya off . The food here is good just not always the warmest or freshest because you're waiting forever for your food . And it's not even that busy for the staff to go to other tables expect yours . No wonder parking was easy and getting a table but the wait time for your food aw hell nah . So yay at least there's something other than nothing to eat but it's not worth the pain in the ass staff they were some what nice decently nice at least . Overall the worst location of this huge restaurant franchise. read more

Horrible leave us waiting for more than 15 minutes with all waiting avoiding us and didn't ask us for what we wanting to drink. BTW observed several waiters standing, doing their hair, etc... Ridiculous we walked out read more

The food was good as always but service and the kitchen were really slow at lunch. Then after 25+ minutes our order came out wrong. :-/ server was nice though. read more

First time visiting Lupe Tortilla, and it was absolutely incredible! The restaurant is beautifully designed with a fun, creative atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and seated right away, no wait at all, which was a great start. A delightful surprise was when the manager stopped by and brought us a complimentary fajita sampler platter, such a thoughtful touch! We chose to sit on the patio, which was pleasant and relaxing, perfect for enjoying the experience. To start, we had the crab-stuffed avocado which was very refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I followed that with the fajitas, which were incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a high-quality dining experience with great food and exceptional hospitality, Lupe Tortilla is the place to go! read more

First time going to Lupe Tortillas & it was amazing. I am SUPER picky when it comes to Tex-Mex/Mexican food so I'm not passing out 5 stars for anything. I went there because it's where my book club was meeting, so they have a room off to the side away from the main dinning areas. They also have a nice patio area. The building is beautifully thought out, from the small details to the divided dinning spaces. The waiter Jillian was nice & very attentive. The food was amazing, we went during breakfast so I haven't gotten to eat their dinner menu but I definitely will be back too! The only recommendation I would have is to have some pictures of the food on the menu because the description doesn't do it justice. The portions are big, my friend got the blueberry pancakes and they were HUGE, she literally shared them with several people & still had some for a to-go. The building & the bathrooms were clean. read more

Exceptional service with great food to match. We have been to the Kemah location three times since they opened. First time, the staff was a bit slow and inexperienced, both Second and Third time were exceptional. The staff at this location goes out of their way to ensure that you have a Great dining experience. I cannot say enough about how good they are. Our new favorite local Mexican Restaurant! Highly Recommend this location. read more

Pretty new location for Lupe. Still very busy and the food always hits the same. The atmosphere is similar to the other places just new. It's very nice. The food is great ... we got the family MAXIMO plater ... it was the best!!!! read more

Great place good margaritas, enchiladas taco- queso is awesome. Happy hour margaritas are reasonable! Very nice ups ale Mexican!

This past Friday my husband decided to have dinner with his family for his 40th at this newer location. We got there around 630 and not many people waiting. When we told them we would have about 25 people the manager looked at us and just said "ohhh it's going to be a really long time". We knew with our bigger party there could definitely be a wait. He told us 2hrs. We told them we don't mind having multiple tables to accommodate us. After about 35 min they told us our tables were ready. Once seated our waitress was very rude the whole time. We were all nice to her knowing it was a big party and we were definitely patient with her but she continued to be rude and roll her eyes. We had one table left that we were waiting for the last two people in our party to arrive. The manager insisted that my sister in law pinky promise him no one else was coming, what?! They gave away the table to someone else and made us squish in to fit. The food was good as usual but the customer service was awful! read more

We tried to dine here a few times before, but the wait was always too long--and we were too hungry to stick around. This time, we joined the waitlist online before arriving and only had to wait about 10 minutes, even though the courtyard was packed. The hosting staff was warm and welcoming, and they seated us in a cozy booth. Our server quickly brought chips, salsa, and a delicious side of beans to start--such a nice touch! We ordered the quail appetizer, which was excellent. For our mains, we had the salmon, carne asada, and enchiladas. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. We were all really impressed and will definitely be returning! read more

I'm thoroughly impressed with the new location! The patio area is a stunning oasis, while the dining and bar spaces are expertly designed. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, making for a truly exceptional dining experience. Staff and bartenders was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu read more

First of all...the fantastic aromas from the grill were almost intoxicating. We were seated in the main dining room overlooking the full service bar a with a great view of the sunny pet friendly patio. I ordered the lunch taco salad while my husband ordered mixto platter. Everything was excellent! read more

Lupe Tortilla - Kemah - Mexican Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Beware of the wait time they tell you and anticipate that not being accurate. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait and waited over an hour and 15 minutes before leaving. At the 1 hour mark, there were multiple open tables waiting to be cleaned and 3 hostesses just standing around. They weren't even this slow when they first opened. Not normally a reviews person, but this was rough. read more

Just ate at LT. Nice young waiter with good attitude and great personality. Only complaint would be just the wait for food. Our order and every table around us just waited for a long time for food to arrive. Especially for Mexican food restaurant. read more

It took an hour to get food for 3 and the manager argued that it didn't but the people are chill but the food was horrible.

We went 11/20/25. Food was "meh". The food was no different than a hole in the wall Mexican food. We met my daughter and son in law at Lupe Tortillas. 150.00 with tip. This is "Mexican food ". There is no way this place stays open. Nose bleed pricing. Fajitas for one is 34 dollars. For 8 oz of meat. It was not sizzling when brought to the table. Beens and rice is cheap. Waiter was very attentive and we appreciated it but because of "golden" beans the place was almost empty on Sunday afternoon. The food wasn't beyond our ability to pay but 150.00 for Mexican food? Come on. read more

Food at any Lupe's is great! This was our 4th visit to this restaurant since opening. The unfortunate side is the wait and service. After arriving at dinner rush with a decent sized group (7), the wait was 50 minutes (which I anticipated). The server was great at customer service but clearly having several tables it was hard to keep up with our tables needs for refills and food delivery. The FOH manager was helping, but coordination of the overall service was missing as we didn't get part of the fajita setup until halfway through finishing food. All in all we spent 2.5 hours at this restaurant, and fine with spending over $200 for the meal; but having good service coordination would seriously improve the experience. My family said the food is the reason we go back, not the service. But don't go here if you want to be 1 to 1.5 hours for dinner. I wish the service would improve because so would the restaurant sales. read more

Hello, I never post on social media until now. Lupe Tortilla is one of my favorite places for fajitas. I was so excited about the new restaurant in my location next to Marbella subdivision in LeagueCity, Texas. The soft opening was bad. Maybe next time? Second time was worst. I love the Bay Area Blvd.,location and the Cedar Park location on the way to our lakehouse in the Austin area is the best. I gave it some time for them to get it together. Third time is a charm. Tonight was unbelievable! My wife and I sat at the bar and waited 10 minutes for the dirty dishes to get removed from the previous customers. Finally, we were greeted and took our drink order. When our drinks finally arrived. We asked to order. We are not stupid. After a long while we asked for chips and hotsauce. Then even longer we asked for silverware. After a hour and a half we asked for the manager. They said they would pay for our drinks. We said, no thanks. We'll pay for our drinks and we are out for good. The End!!! read more

I wish somebody would've written a review like this before I visited. They are still working out the kinks, it took about 30 minutes from the time we sat down to get our food, which came out cold. I ordered three tacos, ground beef, the shells were split down the middle so everything came out when I picked them up. My wife and daughter had enchiladas and quesadillas both which turned out decent. Funny thing is they ran out of rice, what kind of Mexican restaurant runs out of rice? read more

Consistent food quality is always there. Very important. Portions are average for the price. But my go to is always Jimmy Changas but Lupe's does a good job too. read more

Didn't have high expectations trying this place because it is a chain restaurant. But was pleasantly surprised with the food quality. All that we had was very good including the fresh tortillas made just right. To me a real test of a Mexican restaurant is the quality of their beef fajitas. If prepared poorly or overcooked, says something about quality of their meat dishes. But their beef fajitas were done just right. Also the interior is very fun and festive. Looks like a good hangout place. Only observation to be aware of, the wait staff were very good and pleasant when helping you but they are in no hurry to come around. We were there mid afternoon. Not a lot of customers but a lot of wait staff standing around. Their pace of service is noticeably slow compared to most restaurants. We will definitely be back, but don't go unless you want to be leisurely about dining. read more

Horrible service along with extremely loud tables of alcoholics! Even other customers left because of the noise! After an hr we left before food came out! Also service is extremely slow! Salsa and green sauce was . read more

We went for an evening out with friends ... after an hour wait ... the service was lack luster ... so loud the waitress couldn't hear us or us her ... the food was average at best and the prices were ridiculous for what we got ... we have been to other locations of Lupe's and enjoyed them ... we won't be returning to this one however ... read more

Food and service were amazing! The vibe was perfect with the food. We will definitely return

Food was Fantastic. Ancho sauce reminded my wife of the red chile in New Mexico. Korine our server was amazing! The Charro beans are the best ive had. Out door patio looks nice. Manager gave us a sample of the Fajitas, will be getting that next time. Great Experience! read more

This was our first time to try this new location off of TX 96 in Kemah. We enjoyed a great lunch by trying the The Pablo Patron, and the Chicken Lupe Del Mar plates. The latter dish was very good, but I was expecting it to be accompanied by a few whole shrimp in the sauce on top. Instead, it had a few little baby shrimp pieces in the sauce; still good, but not quite what I expected. My partner's Pablo Patron plate was very good; she proclaimed it as having the best cheese enchilada she has every had. Overall, this new location has a great atmosphere and great service. However, I noticed that their "Taco Salad" is not really a taco salad. It comes in a ceramic bowl, not a real taco shell. And their menu is sorely lacking some good combination plates. Note: They serve a red salsa and a refried bean salsa, instead of a green tomatillo salsa. read more

Save yourself the trouble and go to the Bay Area location. My friend and I met there for dinner and waited 2+ hours for food that never showed up to our table. When I first walked up to the hostess stand I explicitly told her that we would be a party of 2 with one highchair. She said great it's going to be a 10 minute wait. Okay fine. Once it was time to sit, tell me why the hostess brought us to a table without a highchair. My friend had to wait with her toddler in her arms until a high chair could be found. Slightly irritating but whatever. We ordered a Mac and cheese and appetizer first. Then about 15 minutes later our waiter took our order for our entrees -or so I thought. We waited for 1 1/2 hours for our food and by this time the kid was tired and pitching a fit. I asked our waiter to go ahead and bring to go boxes when it's ready so we can pack it up and leave. He kept saying it's plated already but I'll bring you boxes with it. Tell me why if it was plated it took an additional 30+ minutes to get our food. The manager came by and noticed we had been there for a while. Yeah no shit... everyone around us had food. When we finally got the to-go food I received no offer of comp for any of it. And come to find out when we went home the food we ordered wasn't even correct! It's not worth your patience and money to go to this location :) read more

Definitely recommend!!!! Service has been fantastic and the food quality is predictable. The ambiance follows the traditional Lupe style.

Went Sunday morning from brunch. Everyone at the table orders a meal that comes with some version of eggs, refried beans and potatoes. The meals arrive with eggs, refried beans and RICE. Eggs and rice.... so we bring it to the waiter's attention. He says he is sorry. Comes back from the kitchen and says they are out of potatoes (would have been nice to know earlier). He offers nothing to make it better like more beans or a discount. No one else comes to the table to find out about our experience. I complete the online review they request on the ticket. Several days later the manager from the location calls me on the telephone and tells me he is sorry and it should not have happened.... thanks for the clarification. I didnt know that should not have happened. He also didnt offer to do anything to make it right. Beware. This place is understaffed and overwhelmed. After the call from the manager, I understand why that is the case. read more

the building is nice, new and clean even for a busy Sunday afternoon our server "will" talked so fast as he was bothered and had something better to do but when he stop his auctioneer pace speaking he would just walk away before you could ask a question ask a question etc 30mins to get water we were a table of 8 I ordered my drink midway and did not receive anything when the others were served and when I inquired he responded with "I put it in", that's not true Lupe has a sophisticated Point of Sale system so if he had put my order in it would have been made noting we were a table if 8 I had to go to the bar and purchase a drink there which is sad...the house lost probably $150 in additional bar service due to the slow service the fajitas had rubber strings like things in them I'm really not sure what or how that occurred comparing it to the 25 other Mexican restaurants in a 5 mile radius I did speak to the manager Lucas whom I told this is a training opportunity for him but his concern was multiple apologizes which were not needed my intent was only to alert him as to deficiencies in my experience there he didn't want me to send my comment card he asked a few times as he would take care of it for me...that flew a red flag he did try to take care of the fajitas which I would not allow I wasn't there for anything free just good food and server which were not there and thought he should know good luck if you go to the kemah location I will say the sheppard location is spot on every time I've been there not sure what's going on in Kemah read more
