This was my first time here as we decided to try it driving by. The service was a little slow and the chips were either stale or cold. I could not figure that out. The food was really good! We also did the try the margaritas. The are definitely worth a try. I would suggest this place just try to try out the food and drinks. I gave it three stars due to the lack of service from our waitress and the chips. read more

First time here. Went to wash up and worker coming out and stunk very bad. Trust I understand about stomach issues but it's a restaurant and a can of fabreeze was right there. Went back to our seat. Had sweet tea and was not good at all. Tried my daughters coke and was flat. Then there was a hair on the napkin with her drink. Left $5.00 on the table and had to walk out. Take care folks. Good luck because we don't need to loose more restaurants or businesses. read more

This place is great. Great service, the servers are personable. We like to sit on their patio. The table side guacamole is so good! We ask them to add bacon and feta! Their chicken fajitas are the best! Their tortillas are so fresh and delicious. We get a variety of corn and flour. read more

Been many times but today will be our last...sat in bar and we had the worst service had to ask several other waiters to find our waiter he never checked back with us. The margaritas us to be 4.50 but the recently raised to 5.00 that extra .50 cents put it over my threshold (just not worth 5.00) Rio mambo has a stronger tastier margarita for 3.50 during happy hour . The food was not great I had the "Bedford burrito " it was literally a flour tortilla with very little ground beef for 9.95 a total RIP off I expected it to be bigger and better. Go to chuy's and for about the same price get a burrito that's huge and loaded with ingredients (not just ground beef)...In short DO NOT EAT HERE ITS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY...use to go for the margaritas but not now they've gone up on them...Total ripoff...ashame I'm required to leave 1 star..again DO NOT GO HERE IT SUCKS read more

Poor custom services.. The manger Margarita was so rude and unprofessional when called to complain. When the person that answer the phone told they want to speak with manger she said no and hung up .. I had to call again then she had a horrible attitude so i asked if i could speak with her boss she told me he don't like for them to give his name out.. So i called a different Lupe's location where i got all my information .. It so sad when you order your meal and it all wrong.. read more

The Arlington location is the best Lupe's location. They offer better service and the food just seems better at this location. My husband and I frequent Lupe's when we want our fix of Tex-mex food. I recommend going on Thursday's for the brisket tacos! read more

Great for a large group. The food and service was good. The chips and salsa with black bean dip was very nice to start with. The beer is cold, but the mixed drinks were not so great. Stick with beer, lol. The deco is very Texas which we all loved. I would definitely come back when I'm in town to see the Cowboys play!! read more

Went to go eat at lupes my server alex recommended me the Mexico city tacos most delicious plate I tried good server fast and helpful great job fantastic lupes thank you so much read more

We love this place! This is our go to restaurant and we've always had excellent service, strong drinks and good food. In particular, we love the table side guacamole and the chips and salsa. Also, there's not usually a long wait when we come in the evenings. Do yourself a favor and skip the chain Mexican food locations and come here, you'll be glad you did. read more

I've been going more often and every time I go I get the same great costumer service, everybody is super friendly, make m feel welcome no matter what time it is or how busy the restaurant is. I love this restaurant :). read more

A plethora of yum foodies! The black bean dip is spectacular. I got Chicken Poblano enchiladas, sis got the Junior, and Jo got Ranger/Cowboy. Every dish was delectable. I recommend trying this restaurant out! read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - Here's our dinner! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Truly so good we went back two nights in a row!!! So glad this is in our neighborhood so we can go often.

This is a really nice restaurant. Staff is super friendly. Me and my boyfriend wanted to try a new place for mexican, and can't believe we never came across this place before. I like the old school music and decor of the entire place. Booth seating is very spacious and clean. Great pricing on mexican food. The black bean dip and salsa are so good, I couldn't stop eating it and we had to order more. Enchiladas are made very well, not soggy or too rough like you would see at other places. I definitely recommend this place for your next Mexican food craving. read more

Ate lunch here before the Final Four. Was able to take our lunch receipt & leave it on the dash board of our car, walk to the stadium, & save in $50-75 parking. The food. It's SO good. Starters include hot, salty chips with one of my all time fav salsas And black beans for dipping! We also ordered table side guac which was full of fresh veggies & flavor. The margaritas are incredible. I ordered the frozen, my husband had the high end rocks version. Both were delish- not sugary sweet! I'd come back time & again for snacks & drinks but the meal was the BEST! Our table ordered 1.shrimp fajitas- giant, perfectly cooked & seasoned shrimp & perfectly done rice & beans. 2. Cheese enchiladas - hard to mess up but these were perfect with their red ranchero sauce. 3. Shrimp enchiladas with pabloano sauce. Perfection. We also shared a puffy taco which was a puffed blue corn shell with all the taco ingredients stuffed inside. Good- but the things we ordered above were better & we were full! Come here! You'll be so glad you did! read more

We went for lunch on a weekday and it was not busy at all. We sat at the bar and the service was very good. The bartender made a great michelada and a market fresh margarita, neither of which were on the bar menu. Next, chips and salsa! Chips were average, salsa was pretty good and a delicious black bean dip was included! We ordered the lunch special, which was brisket tacos, and the shrimp enchiladas with the pablano sauce. We were both happy with our choices. The beans and rice were probably above average, too. We finished off with a sopapilla. It took longer to come out than expected, but that was just a good sign it's fresh. It came with whipped cream drizzled with chocolate and 2 cherries. We looked at the brunch menu and will have to come back for that! read more

Food is very good but wait staff terribly undermanned. Had to wait lengthy time to be seated, then to get water, then to take order then eventually had to leave booth to get the check. If they ever get sufficient staff highly recommended. read more

Quaint little joint tucked away in a side pocket of Lincoln Square in Arlington, right between Half-Price and Jason's Deli. The food was pretty delish for a local Tex-Mex place (there's one other location in Bedford), and there's plenty of personality in their food as shown by the dish names, which are named after people and each seem pretty personalized. They all sounded so good, we didn't know what to pick! Most of us got enchiladas and/or tacos.The food to me was better than the cookie-cutter dishes of most other chain tex-mex places--not too oversalted and their chips were light and thin as compared to some of the thicker and less tasty chips and salsa at other places. Their chicken enchiladas were pretty savory and came with a big heaping portion of beans that flooded the plate. I also got a puff taco, which is pretty unique--basically a shell that had been fried and stuffed with beef, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. A pretty interesting taco, considering we tried to imagine what a puff taco would've looked like before we asked our waiter about it! By the way, the staff is super nice and friendly--our waiter was super polite, and upon my joke of free ice cream with our flan, we were delighted to find a yummy scoop of vanilla on the side of our dessert. Yay! I'm a fan. Definitely a cool place to check out if you're craving Tex-mex in Arlington. read more

New place, very good but nobody knows about it. I hope they wise up and do a groupon or something soon or it will not last very long. The food is really good tex-mex and very reasonable, lunch specials are in the $7 range and are good sized portions. The salsa is very flavorfull and they serve black bean dip along side, the dip is good enough to eat with a spoon. read more

Outstanding! Blue Mesa had a wait, so we went here and it was better than most of the texmex I've eaten in a long time. Presentation was nice, server was prompt and efficient. The food choices were not the same old fare, either. They have the standards, but we had chicken poblano enchiladas (think chili relleno without being fried) and chipotle fajitas. Both excellent. - the fajitas were interesting in that it wasn't chopped up cuts of scraps but a few large cuts of quality meat. Impressive. The flan was perfectly firm and the tres leches? I'm just getting that next time. Like a whole cake. read more

The Good: Great food. Especially the egg dipped Chilli Rellano with Queso. Yum. The Bad: The wait staff likes to hold back some of your change to make their own tip. Two different times so far. Would have been 4 stars otherwise. read more

Somewhat disappointed by my favorite Lupes dish, Carne a la tampequena....the meat was very chewy - unlike any time I've ever had it at the Bedford location. They serve the same delish black bean dip and chips at least. Hoping I don't always have to trek to Bedford.....Arlington location: please don't buy cheap meat!! read more

When in Dallas I eat Tex Mex pretty much everyday. When you live in South Florida, of course there is great Latin food on every street corner but Tex Mex is pretty much out of the question. Hey, I'm a gringo and love me some Tex Mex...what can you do? This place was great. They start you off with Black bean salsa with chips which was a big hit at our table, in particular since the regular tomato salsa was nuclear HOT. I had the Brisket tacos and the Sangria margarita swirl which were excellent. The restaurant was filled with couples, families and some singles by the bar so a good mix of all kinds of people. You can sit at the patio outside, providing its not too hot and really enjoy a cerveza or two. Lastly, the service was ok. I didn't feel that our waitress was all that attentive so we had to flag down a couple of passing servers for water or chips and the like. read more

My husband and I love this place. I always go for the vegetable salad - so yummy. The bean dip is amazing and their sopapillas are the size of a football. The service has always been fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend to friends. read more

My husband and I have eaten here twice and enjoy the food. The problem is with the service. We arrived on a busy Saturday night and were told the wait would be 25 minutes! I could see into the dining room and saw MANY empty tables. When I pointed this out to the host he said the kitchen and wait staff could not keep up with the business. REALLY? That is a bad problem for a restaurant! Management should get on it and hire more personnel and step up training in the kitchen. Surely both measures would improve the profits/bottom line. We waited at least 30 minutes for our table and when finally seated had excellent service from a very cordial and accommodating server. Wish I could remember her name. But anyway, Lupe Management, get with it! read more

Can't go wrong here. Top shelf guacamole is great. Get the poblano sauce. It is the best. Usually not a wait to get in. Give it a try and you will enjoy. read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - Guacamole - Yum! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

This place was amazing. I got the Caipirinha to drink and it was just so deliciously citrusy that you could barely taste the alcohol thought they must have had a lot because I could feel it after just one drink. The cheese dip was some of my favorite in town, the salsa was perfectly spicy, then can I just say as someone who usually avoids black bean like the plague, the Black Bean dip was incredible. I got the mix grill fajitas, the meat was so tender and perfectly cooked. My mom had the Chile Relleno, she gave me a bit it was amazing, it comes with your choice of sauce on top and she got the cheese sauce, the meat inside was tender not dried out like it can sometimes be especially when you get Chicken Chile Relleno which is what she got. The poblano pepper was perfectly cooked just crunchy enough you knew the pepper was there but not so crunchy it was like it hadn't been cook it had cheese on the inside and with the cheese sauce on the outside it was just so super deliciously cheesy. We got the rice and bean, the rice is like most Mexican restaurant rice really nothing to make it a stand out but the beans were incredible, we got Charro beans aka bean soup it was scrumptious, they slow cook it with bacon, I think maybe ham and Mexican spices. Next time I go even though I loved the fajitas, I loved my bit of my mom Chicken Chile Relleno even more so I will get that the cheese dip and the Charro beans because that was the best of every food thing we had. The Caipirinha is a highly recommend too, it uses a Brazilian rum, sugar and limes to make an incredible drink. I've looked all over the metroplex for a place that served this drink and this and one other place in Arlington are the only places I've been able to find this rare gem of a drink. read more

BRING CASH! I took my family last weekend to the Arlington location and my bill came to over $200- which was expected. However, my server made a mistake and made double payment to my credit card. My $200 meal quickly became a $400 meal. I have been trying for DAYS to speak to someone regarding a refund for money that is owed back to me. The owner would not even take my phone call, but made her young son speak to me while she stood next to him telling him what to say. I could hear her speaking to him in the background. And then he quickly hung up. The customer service and ethics of this establishment is questionable at best. They flat out said they would not return my money. I understand mistake happen but we would all be upset if $200+ went missing from our bank account. I have filed the charge with my bank as fraud. Buyer beware! read more

3/2/2018 I have had many better experiences here than today's Sticker Shock. $14.49 for lunch time beef enchiladas, runny refried beans and bland spanish rice and a water. There are far better Tex Mex places for far less the $$. read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - Tex-Mex Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Let's start with the service. It was poor at best. We asked for a clean plate and the server literally tried to slide a dirty plate across the table to the person asking. It took 10 minutes to get a drink order and then another 20 to get waters. Then the food had zero flavor, bad texture and just all around poor. We will absolutely not be back. This is too big of an area to have piss poor service. read more

I'm pretty much going to always chose Mexican food if you ask me where to go. My BFF and I were hanging out in Dallas and when it was time for a early dinner Arlington seemed like the most neutral location. I'm not a big fan of the crowds in the Highlands and I live much closer to North Arlington and have been to every Mexican place with the except of Lupe's. It was 9 so for Arlington that is late but they are open until 10:30. We were cheerfully greeted and seated right away. Very nice waiter told us the Margaritas were really good and strong. Cool because it had been a long day and I needed one. The drinks were very strong I would return just for chips, salsa and a margarita. In my own weirdness I order Cheese Enchiladas with Ranchero sauce. If you have bad Cheese Enchilada, well let's just say I won't be back anytime soon. Lucky for Lupe's they dot it right. My BFF ordered Rangers and Cowboys and was equally impressed with her meal. I think for the price and the service I will be back and I hope I'm not disappointed. I'm thinking I may do brunch since it includes 2 mimosa's which is usually my limit anyway. read more

The food was mediocre. May just come back for the super strong margaritas and chips with salsa. The only thing that made me question the quality of the food is because within 5 minutes of ordering, we received our food. I see many complaints of how long it took for their food to come but we experienced the quite opposite. I literally got my food before my margarita. Did they microwave it? Was it already made? May never know the answer. read more

Sadly, my update is down to two stars. Very few people are here but the service is slow. My meal was brought out 10 min before my husbands. Food taste the same but the service in the bar is terrible. Oh, whichever is probably why the bat is empty. It use to be standing room only. read more

Wow... the food was amazing. The drinks were strong but good and affordable. My husband had a brisket chimichanga and it was very good but my shrimp relano was incredible. The chips were fresh. The black bean dip was awesome. But the service.... service can make or break a dinner. I have been in the service/management business for nearly 30 years and our server was the best i think i have ever witnessed. Drinks stayed full, chips stayed fresh, dips never empty, table stayed prebussed, server never failed to smile. She was never over baring and was always right there when needed. BRAVO CHELSEY...You made a first time customer become a regular one. Somebody needs to reward this girl. read more

This WAS my favorite Mexican food place. The good news is the food is still good. The bad news is the service was the opposite of the food. We ordered table side guacamole as an appetizer and our entrees. They brought the entree and when asked about guacamole, it was "oh yeah". Told her to forget it now. Her attitude went south. If you are OK with mediocre service for good food, this is your place. read more

My daughter and I decided to try this place because it was close to our hotel. When we sat down they served us chips and salsa that was great to me but a bit spicy for my kiddo. They also served us a black bean dip and my daughter loved it. We chose to share chicken fajitas with all the fixings. We were not disappointed. We shared a serving for 1 and had a little bit of leftover. The waiter we had was very nice and tentative. The food and service were great even on busy Mother's Day! read more

The food is good. Too bad the service is so BAD that we no longer go there. We have thought about going back and giving them another shot at better service but it's just not worth it... especially in a city with so many quality Tex-Mex options. Save the headache and just go to Blue Mesa across the street. read more

Ok .... Where to start ? First our server is one the BEST I have ever had anywhere ! He has not let anything get half empty . We ordered the table side Guaq .... Mmmmmm little spicy and everything was fresh . Let's chat about the black bean dip they bring warm to the table . I figured out what is in it by the time we got the 2nd bowl . CRACK ! It's gotta be !unless there is something more addictive then crack and then that's what it is . LAWD can I get a WITNESS ? ! ? I ordered the beef fajita chimi with queso . The beef was seasoned perfect and it was fork tender without being weird consistency . Tucked away in what I suspect is a homemade flour tortilla snuggling with that beef was fresh grilled peppers and onions . It was topped with what I think was probably liquid gold . Rice was good , beans were good ( not as yummy as that black bean crack they bring ) I give it a FAT KID rating of 10 read more

Pros: Strong margaritas - even during happy hour Friendly waitress and chip server Large portions Delicious food Cons: Screaming kid (ok, not their fault, but the place really echos) Food takes a while to come out Hostess used a tiny little voice and we couldn't hear a word she said (before screaming kid arrived) read more

As you guessed, like most places around the stadiums, has a sports bar type feel. And i'd have to say they worked it in quite nicely with it being a Mexican food restaurant. I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed like i was overwhelmed with the amount of items on the menu...let's tone it down a bit. Service was horrible, absolutely horrible. We got up twice to get beer at the bar because our waiter would never come to our table. That's a pretty big complaint, but i honestly think it was just the busy night and they were short staffed, otherwise i really feel like it wouldn't have gotten 3 stars. If you guessed i ordered the chimichanga, you guessed right. Cheese and more cheesed, i loved it! Chicken was great as well with perfectly cooked bell peppers. Now i will say it could have been cooked a little longer, i do like a crispy golden outside and this fail to meet that standard. Typical beans and rice. I would imagine for the location this place is a safe bet to go to. Foods pretty good, but if you have a chance and don't need to be around that area i would take a little drive somewhere else. Keep in mind if there is any sort of game going on it's a nightmare to get in and out. read more
