We had a great experience at Lupe's Restaurant! We ordered a chicken burrito, a side of beans, two taquitos, and three tacos dorados: one shredded beef, one ground beef, and one potato. Overall, everything was delicious! The only item that wasn't my favorite was the ground beef taco, but everything else was really good. The area where we ate was clean, and the staff was awesome! Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and nice, which made our experience even better. Overall, we enjoyed our food and had a great experience. We would definitely come back again! read more

Lupe's Burritos in East LA is one of those spots that just feels like home. Straight up authentic Mexican flavor. You can taste it in every bite. The steak burrito is the star, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and that spice hits just right without overpowering everything else. It's the kind of place you keep going back to because it's consistent and comforting. Not trying to be fancy, just doing it right. Definitely a classic. read more

I recently noticed that Lupe's Burritos is now open on Sundays, so I decided to stop by for a late lunch. The service was excellent; the person at the counter was friendly, personable, and offered great recommendations. Here is what I ordered: * Potato Taco * Beef Taco * Four Finger Sandwich * Guacamole Fries A quick word of advice: be careful with the red sauce! It is very hot, so start with a little bit before adding more. As for the Guacamole Fries, they are okay, but the portion size feels a bit small for the price. I've heard adding cheese makes them better, so that might be worth a try. The "if you know, you know" move here is definitely the Four Finger Sandwich. It's a hot dog served in a hamburger bun with plenty of fixings like lettuce and mayo. While the hot dog itself is on the saltier side, the combination works perfectly. Keep in mind that the parking lot is very tight and seating is limited. Since the food is best eaten fresh and doesn't travel particularly well, I recommend grabbing a table if you can or eating in your car. It's a consistently busy spot with a line out front, but it is truly a solid local staple. I'll definitely be back to try more of their burritos. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for who knows how long, and it sure didn't disappoint! The steak breakfast burrito is surprisingly not overpriced- ah, that's because I picked it up this time! Well, it's always good to be back in sunny SoCal weather, and having driven in São Paulo now makes me appreciate the roads and the lack of scooters everywhere in LA even more!! It's a privilege to be able to enjoy the good and learn from the bad in so many different cultures and parts of the world. The burrito is one of the best, if not THE best, in LA County, so go give them a try!! Also, don't forget to support your local mom-and-pop shops!!! read more

Lupe's Burritos - Bomb-ass breakfast burrito BBB!!! - Food Stands Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a Los Angeles institution and is good. Street parking is available. Can be a little difficult. Service: Friendly and quick. Ambiance: Old School joint with casual vibes and outside tables. Food: Cali Burrito with Asada. This tasted and felt more like a bean and cheese burrito with a few fries and steak. Good portion of steak, but everything was over powered by the bean and cheese, which was tasty. Final thoughts: I want to love Lupe's for its history and nostalgia vibes, but the burrito was just alright. I have had better. read more

Very clean Great options Service is very friendly and quick. They have a parking lot, but since it's so popular, you might have to opt to park in the middle street lane like so many others do. I had a chile relleno burrito and the crispy beef tacos, and all I have to say is "Chef's Kiss!" I can't believe I'd driven past this spot for my whole life and not tried them, but I guess better late than never, am I right?!?!?!?! read more

This food was sooooo tasty. Growing up down the street, I never knew that place existed. It was because it's located in the rival High School Football teams turf. It'd all about Garfirld HS Bulldogs ! Well I decided to try this place out. I'm soooo picky about chilie reino burritos, you can call me a snob. The place was crowded but orders were taken promptly. It took a minuet to get my food but we'll worth the wait. They have a great atmosphere showing off dodger memorabilia amongst other treasures. The staff was cool and the menu had a variety of stuff. From burritos to chilie cheese fries. If your in east los, I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. ONLY THING that got me mad was THEY WERE SOOO DAMN STINGY WITH THE HOTSAUCE. DONT BE STINGY, mexicans need salsa with their burritos. The salsa was.good, but I got one tiny container. Well they still are a must eat on my book read more

Parking= smh it is a free for all , "get in where you fit in" type setup. IYKYN but they do have their own free small lot. Yep on a Fri around lunch they were busy AF Thank god i called my order in while i was miles east. Customer service= impeccable & perfect, young dude was just awesome! My chile relleno burrito was tasty but was NOT THE BOMB. The red chile was tha bomb however. So the burrito is average size. There were a lot of beans at the beginning. The batter was extremely fluffy. The actual chili part was very prevalent if that makes any sense because a lot of the times chile relleno can just get buried in the cheese and batter. But in this case, I could see the chili very well. So that was a plus. I will not return, because it was not heaven sent and I will not break my diet over that. But I will recommend fasho read more

This place is super solid. (Sorry for the lack of photos) The crunch on their tacos is "o" level bliss. Their red sauce is dayam "f-ing" good. Thickly shredded cheddar cheese is nearly a luxury item these days. Their guacamole/avocado sauce fries with your choice of protein and cheese is a lesson in mastering a simple concept. The fries remained crunchy under all those unctuous tops. (Another party heavily suggested we order this and it didn't disappoint.) I love this place. Oh, nearly forgot: Their bean burritos are totally worth the effort. Texture and gooey-ness of the filling "hits" just right. Few cons though. Parking blows. No restrooms. No indoor dinning. Pro-tip: Lupe offer refills on their beverages (for a small price). Not a bad deal. 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

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

Today I tried the Chili Relleno Burrito, and it was just as good as their Bean & Cheese Burrito!

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

The drive was worth it! 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Must have when in East LA! Everything is absolutely delicious. Their salsa is actually spicy. The vibe is Chicano, chill, parking is a lil hectic and try not to go during lunch times or Roosevelt football games. I recommend the asada fries or the some de California burrito...YUM! 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

Don't know why people raved the burritos. The burrito was ok. Good service and parking was great.

Went to this place with family and was told by my sister in law that they went here since they were kids and I was excited to try it because of that fact and knowing that told me that this was a community staple which was true because it was pretty busy when we arrived. They had decent menu with burgers and hotdogs and tacos and burritos I wanted to try it all but I was told that I should try the combo green which I got! Let me tell you it was the business! The beef was so tender and the combination of the chopped green chili and cheese was the best and so flavor packed that it was practically a wet burrito because by the first few bites it was busting through the seams and I had to use a fork ahha all good because I love wet burritos anyways! The crowning glory was the hot sauce man that was potent! I love my hot sauce and that almost made me break a sweat not that it wasn't spicy at all i definitely felt it but I'm just used to eating spicy food and this little ramekin of spice certainly tripped me a bit and dumping that on top of my burrito was chefs kiss. Places like this never surprises me as the saying goes "if the menu looks old, if the place looks old and worn and if the place has three different kinds of style of food" it almost is certainly going to be great and this place lives up to the name! Truly an LA staple! Definitely when I'm in the area I'll be coming back to try their burgers, pastrami chili cheese fries and the tortilla hot dog haha I already have it planned out! For me 5 stars! :) read more
