Ordered by phone. Was ready when I arrived. Very friendly staff. Red chili meat burrito was spicy hot which I loved, but too hot for my partner. I give it 5 stars. My partner a 4. So should be a 4.5 rating. read more

Lupe's Burritos is an iconic East LA breakfast burrito spot that i been wanting to try for the longest. I finally got the chance to visit this place the other day and tried their combo green Breakfast Burrito, which has bean, cheese and beef with green sauce in it. I loved how this burrito was very flavorful and all ingredients sort of explode with each bite. I did not like how soggy the burrito can get especially with the beans spilling outside the burrito as you eat it. But overall i will visit this place again to try out there other burrito selections. Very happy i went to this place. The service was great, cashier let me know about the popular burritos and also was quick to get my order out. The business have parking but can get full really quickly. Lots of people park next to the metro tracks. read more

First time here last time coming back with my family. There's no structure to order. I waited in line as soon it was my time to order, the young lady with brown hair and face mask just completely ignored me and didn't want to take my order. Another guy opened up next to her and helped someone else immediately who just showed up after us, even though he saw us waiting first. Already waiting a while for food, but I already know I won't be back based on service. read more

If you're looking for an amazing bean and cheese burrito, then look no further. Lupe's has one of the best in So. Cal! They use a soft, flavorful flour tortilla that makes all the difference. They have a full menu of other goodies, but my go to here is the BNC. read more

Lupe's Burritos - Lupe's - Food Stands Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was influenced to try Lupe's Tacos since I was already in the area, and I'm glad I did. The wait was about 30 minutes. They didn't look super busy at first, but they had a lot of phone-in orders -- so pro tip: order ahead if you can. I ordered three crunchy tacos two shredded beef, one ground beef and they were honestly some of the best crunchy tacos I've had in a while. The cheese, meat, and lettuce ratio was perfect. The guacamole was really good. The salsa was very hot alittle too spicy for me personally, but great if you love heat. The staff were really nice and welcoming, which always makes a difference. And they're definitely Dodgers fans over here, there's Dodgers signs all over the building, so you can feel the hometown pride. They do have a small parking lot. Just be mindful when driving up if you miss the entrance, you'll have to circle all the way back around because of the Metro line nearby. Overall, definitely worth it read more

Oh yes! I keep coming. I always order the same one. Same taste. Same quality. Never disappoints. Love their hot sauce -- super hot, super addictive. I'm crying from the spice, my mouth is on fire, but I keep eating... can't stop. After I finish my food, I'm happy. Every time. read more

Why didn't I learn of Lupe's much sooner?!?! I seriously was missing out!!! My boy and I came here around lunchtime and it was busy! We were lucky enough to find street parking since it's scarce in the area. I ordered a few items for my first time, which I was craving from social media videos. I ordered the following: - Two dorado tacos. Ground & shredded beef - Bean & cheese burrito - Small horchata While waiting for our orders we were able to score a table. My order took around 30 minutes, which was understandable from the volume of people ordering. Once I got my order I was ready to chow down! Both tacos had a generous amount of beef and cheese combined with a very crispy and crunchy shell! The burrito was loaded with a hefty portion or refried beans and cheese! Every bite I took of the burrito, refried beans and gooey cheese rushed out of the tortilla! The horchata was sweet and refreshing. My new must go to spot if I'm craving dorado tacos and burritos. Wish they had locations of Lupe's in the Bay Area. read more

Good food, but not worth the inconveniences. My husband and I tried this place last weekend, and it was BUSY. Granted, it was a Saturday around 11 am, but we waited almost AN HOUR for our food. Also, there was very little parking; we had to park two blocks down because there were so many cars and so very few parking spots. They also don't have a bathroom, and the cashier was literally telling us to go to another business to use their restroom? Very unprofessional and inconvenient. We went to the other business they mentioned, and they also didn't have a restroom. Literally no restroom around that area. When I was waiting by the side for our food, they were calling numbers out of order! 42, 45, 52, 47, 54, 49.... What's the point of having numbers if you're not going to call them in order? It was so hard to gauge when my number would be next. They have some seating in the shade which is great, but seating fills up fast on a busy day. Onto the food: I got the California burrito as it comes, and my husband got the chicharron burrito. His was very spicy. They warned him that it was so so spicy; they even let him try the chicharron before he got the burrito to ensure he was okay with the spice. Their hot sauce is absolute fire. It's spicy and tasty and goes super well on the burritos. My husband also got fries, but they were undercooked and needed more salt. They were still good fries, but they would have been better if they were a bit crispier and saltier. The staff was also nice and they make sure to give you napkins and hot sauce with your order. But all of the inconveniences listed above have deterred us from coming back. read more

This is the first time eating at Lupe's and I'm loving it. The food is very good with meaty juicy burrito. I love the spicy sauce and it's spicy indeed! The parking isn't the easiest but the ambiance gives a very cool vibe with friends and lunch benches. The service is friendly and definitely a place for juicy burritos! read more

Family owned Mexican food spot in East LA that has been in business for over 50yrs. They specialize in 12 kinds of burritos including their infamous bean and cheese. I have only tried the crispy tacos. Tacos dorados. You can get them with shredded beef, ground beef or potato. The taco shell is fried to order. The cheese is hand shredded and they add lettuce, tomato and this red/orange creamy spicy salsa. It's very spicy but flavorful. The service is great. Staff is friendly. The vibe is dope. LA Dodgerstown signs, vintage LAD bobbleheads and more. Mostly known for takeout but they do have tables and seats outside. Small parking lot. Free Street parking as well. Highly recommend. read more

This place makes a MEAN burger!!!! I ordered the J.A burger which comes with 2 patties, cheese, pastrami and bacon, both green and red chiles, guac, mayo, lettuce, and grilled onions. It's a pretty beast burger but it's so damn good. The guy that took our order was nice and made me the recommendation to me. The fries are crispy as hell, nice and soft in the middle. Perfection. The parking lot can get packed and a bit of a hassle to get out of, but other than that there's plenty of outdoor seating and waiting areas for you to chill until they call your order. Cool place. 10/10 read more

Est. 1972- There is so much good stuff on-line being said about Lupe's, so I had to check it out. With over fifty years on the clock, Lupe is doing something right. I've seen many social media posts saying, 'The best burritos in LA . . . The best tacos in LA . . . The best Mexican food in LA', Etc. While there is a lot on the menu, the most popular items seem to be, the Combo Burrito with Green Sauce, the Bean & Cheese Burrito with Red Sauce, the Tacos Dorados and the Chili-Burger with Cheese. I tried them all. The Combo Burrito with Green Sauce is excellent. Loaded with steak and gooey cheese, this burrito is one of the best I've had. The Bean & Cheese Burrito with red sauce is also excellent, but it's incredibly spicy. The red sauce has two names: La salsa del diablo, and Salsa del infierno. If you can't handle hot, get the Bean & Cheese with green sauce. Don't even look at the red - it will burn your eyes!! Also good are the Tacos Dorados. They are smaller and greasier than expected, but they are tasty. And finally, I ordered the Chili Cheese Burger, with no lettuce. This was my least favorite item. It was still good, but not something I would crave (like the Combo Burrito, etc.). Regardless, Lupe's is great. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and they keep the tables clean. Bottom line, Lupe's has the goods. I'm a fan! read more

Great little stand that didn't disappoint. This was my first time here and will be back for sure. I got there shortly after they opened and there was already a crowd. The kitchen was moving like a well oiled machine. The lady that took my order was nice. The area in around was very clean. There was a bit of a wait but that's to be expected. I ordered 2 Shredded Beef taco dorado, 2 Ground Beef taco dorado, 2 bean and cheese burritos and a Chili Relleno burrito w/ carne asada. Everything was tasty and made to order. Their salsa is not for the weak. If you're sensitive to spice, stay away from that salsa. It packs a punch. Overall, a great experience. read more

Lupe's is a small food stand that serves Mexican food. It's been around since 1972 and it still has that old school charm. FOOD I've tried the burritos, tacos, taquitos, and fries here. I think all of the food is good. I can't say any of it is my favorite but is good comfort food. The bean and cheese burritos have red and green options that cost a little more. These are just regular bean and cheese burritos with sliced red or green peppers added. SERVICE They've always been friendly to me here. During peak hours, the wait can get pretty long though. RESTAURANT This is a small food stand so you aren't going into the building. There are a few tables outside. PARKING There's limited parking here. They have their own parking lot. It's free parking and again, very limited. The lot is cramped so I prefer parking on the street. Street parking is free too but also really limited. During peak times, a lot of people park on the left side of the street (I think it might be a loading zone) read more

This place is an iconic classic in east LA. Been coming here for years. Some of the best Dorados tacos in town imo. Fast, easy, for lunch and dinner. My go-tos to order here are the dorado tacos, California burrito and taquitos. Can't really go wrong with anything. It gets pretty crowded for lunch, so phone orders are always a good idea. Best for outdoor seating on a sunny day! There's plenty of parking and outdoor seatings. Love the park by lot vibes in the heart of East LA! read more

Some do some don't. Mixed reviews and palettes are always a recipe for confusion. Hard tacos are a must at Lupe's. Burritos are very filling and can get spicy so order accordingly. Very nostalgic atmosphere. My only gripe is service or lack there of. Being friendly shouldn't cost you anything. Doesn't matter how much money you spend or how often you come to a certain business. Be welcoming and thankful for the years of business you've been blessed with because of your customers generosity... read more

This place is . I've been here twice now and both times have been delicious. Both times I got the Chile Relleno Burrito with asada and both times I've devoured it. Their red salsa is really spicy but has such a good flavor, just be careful cause you'll pay for it later . I love La Azteca's chile relleno burritos but man this really is a competitor. I think if they made their tortillas here, it would be 10/10, but as it stands I would still give it a 9.5/10. I also tried their taquitos de pollo with the guacamole and those were good but the guacamole was a little bland. I also tried their green been and cheese burrito and that was also really good. I'm assuming they use lard in their beans and that's what makes it taste so much better. Service was good, nothing to complain about there. They have a few tables outside, but every time I've been here they've been taken so we just eat on the hood of our car. The only thing is do not come here if you're in a rush because a lot of the time you will wait for your food. We waited about half an hour on a Saturday but it's worth it. Although their parking lot is small, parking was fairly easy as well since they have ample parking across the street. read more

Lupe's Burritos - Chile Relleno Burrito con asada. - Food Stands Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Nothing special and certainly not worth waiting more than 5-7 minutes for your order. Although fully staffed in the small open kitchen, there seemed to be no hustle and an overall sloth-like tempo. Not sure there would be much of a line if they improved efficiency or speed beyond a snail's pace. Honestly, it was painful to watch, and many waiting customers were commenting the same. Prices are a bit higher than comparable places in East LA area - eg, $5/taco. We waited over 30 minutes for 6 tacos, and there were customers who had been waiting over 1.5 hours for their orders as well. IMO, J&S in Monterrey Park/East LA is much better for quality, value and speed. read more

After seeing so many TikTok's that "these are the best tacos in LA," had to come check them out. The ground beef tacos were okay, not my favorite, don't like the amount of cheese just sitting on top of them. The bean and cheese burrito was good. Honestly, a good tasty salsa is what makes a great meal. They only offer a spicy red salsa, could not eat it! Small lot available with limited parking and outdoor seating. Good customer service. read more

Unfortunately, wasn't what I expected. The food was OK. Service was very slow and the parking was impossible.

Parking is not an issue at this fast and casual eatery/stand with only outdoor seating that is very limited. Staff is kind and helpful. Portions are fair but considering the location, I expected lower pricing. Food is solid but overrated. The tortillas need work. The hot sauce is spicy and bit too bitter for me. My favorite thing about this experience are the green chiles. 3.5 stars that I will round down as I have zero desire to ever go back/try again. read more

Was just thinking of this place a week ago and since we were in the area for an appt we decided to grab breakfast. Second time here and again it was terrific. We got there right when it opened, people already waiting and/or eating. Even with minimal people there, there was still a wait. That should tell you something, good food isn't fast! This time I ordered a breakfast burrito-for anyone wanting to know what comes in it (2 eggs, choice of meat, fries, beans & cheese.) I opted for sausage/egg/beans & cheese and left out the fries as I'm not someone who likes fries in my burrito....HEAVENLY. ooey gooey cheese like last time, beans were flavorful and overall just delicious. I also ordered a bean and cheese on the side for later Husband ordered the Cali burrito again and a carne asada Torta. I'm so glad to report that both were delicious. He isn't a hard man to please regarding food but Tortas and even some basic foods can really be a hit or miss with him. Im so glad his first time trying a torta here was a hit! Will return again & again from the I.E! read more

I love going to Lupe's for their fast food. Their green chili bean and beef with cheese burrito is one of my favorites to order. Another superb choice is their pastrami fries with guacamole and cheese. And lastly I'd recommend their hard shell tacos that are stuffed with meat and cheese. They are known for their flavorful and spicy salsa! As a spice lover I can tell you it's actually spicy and has a challenging heat. The food takes a while for them to make after you order but it's totally worth it. Check them out if you haven't. read more

4.5/5 One of my absolute favorite spots in East LA. I've been coming here since I was a kid, back when the previous two owners were still around. It's one of those places that feels like home every time. The food is consistently good quality with authentic flavors you can't fake. The salsa is perfectly spicy and delicious. My parents are obsessed with their tostadas, burritos, and quesadillas. Meanwhile, I'm loyal to their street dogs, taquitos, horchata, and guacamole fries (which are a must-try, trust me!). It's just good, honest food that never disappoints. I always leave happy and full. So grateful Lupe's is still here after all these years! read more

Order the street dog ! Super cute, clean little establishment with plenty of parking. There's outdoor seating available, which is a nice touch. The staff wasn't very friendly, but that may be because they were busy ...they seemed focused on taking your order and keeping things moving. There was a bit of a wait for our food, even though it was 3pm on a Friday. Despite that, the food was really good--well-seasoned, well-packaged, and generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Had to give this place a try after seeing it on instagram. The service wasn't the greatest and we waited 25 minutes and seen orders coming out that came after ours, we only ordered 2 burritos. The Famous chili relleno burrito, let me tell you - it's all that and a bag of chips. We added beef to it but honestly I think it would have been better without. It's a small stand with a small parking lot, street park is available. Really good food definitely be back read more

One Star: Customer service has gone down the drain. I've been coming here for several years, and have introduced this place to several friends and coworkers. But, sadly, I have no desire to return because of lack of quality service. And it's not one isolated incident, it's happened a few times now. The most recent experience we were ignored, not even acknowledged, even when eye contact was made. We moved over a few feet to be directly in front of an iPad/register, instead of standing by the pick up window since we had placed an order online, and all of a sudden our invisibility power wore off and we were finally noticed. Four Stars: I do enjoy the food, I always get the taquito plate or potato tacos. Burritos are always solid as well. Ultimately though, we live in a time where being friendly and neighborly goes a long way and I can support another business where customers are appreciated. read more

Really tasty. Burritos aren't crazy big but are delicious and good value. Even with a bit of a wait they are 100% worth it.

Food was yummy wait time here was so bad waited in line for 20 minutes then waited for the food for another 45 minutes maybe because it was after the la dodger parade but really it was a LONG wait. The green burrito was yummy on the small end but the hot sauce was so HOT! The dorado tacos is a hard shell taco with ground or shredded beef. I got the shredded beef and it was good but maybe a good 5 bites for means three for my husband . I love the cheese on top. read more

So we came here to compare the shredded beef tacos to Chuy's Tacos in DTLA. Chuy's Tacos are much better and larger. Spent 30 cents more per taco here... Don't get me wrong, these are good. But if I had my choice of these tacos or to drive a bit further for Chuy's Tacos... No doubt I'd rather drive to Chuy's. The service is great. The staff are friendly. There's outside seating.

After a burrito at another joint, my buddy and I headed down here to try Lupes bean and cheese. Placed our order for a bean and cheese with red. It was a little under $7.00. Next, we waited forever! Definitely call ahead if you are coming here. Probably waited at least 15 minutes before we got our burrito. How was it? Bean/Cheese/Red Burrito- First thing I noticed was that this burrito was really, really flimsy. No way could you pick this up and eat it clean, fresh off the presses. You would either have to wait for it to congeal and form a bit, or eat it with a fork. I went with the fork. Beans were runnier than the other spot. The cheese melted funky too...it was like shredded little pieces/flecks, but they didn't melt fully....you could see them all throughout the burrito. All of this being said, it was still really freaking tasty! Good tortilla, flavorful beans, and the "red" sauce was spicy! Tingle your lips after you are done, spicy! I liked it! Am I racing to come back? Naw. If I am in there area, am I coming here to try out another burrito? Absolutely! This place is old school and does a great business and pumps out tasty food that people have loved for years! read more
