We used to like this place, but we never loved it. Now the service is so bad it's plain disgusting. Winter last night as me and the wife have not had a good chance to hang out together in quite a while. This was a mistake. Took 10 minutes for us to wave down a server to nonchalantly act like they didn't care and barely take our drink water by that time. We were already out of chips and salsa. By the time we get our drinks, they bring the drinks and walk off. We had to wave someone else down to take our food order. We were going to order something else, but we decided to order the fajitas as the server said we can get more beef and chicken as I eat more beef and the wife eats very little and she likes chicken. What happens we get mostly chicken and Harley any beef. I tell the server she goes. Oh I'm sorry what else can I get for you today. Really like we just paid 40 bucks for fajitas and 20 of it going to the trash. The manager doesn't give a crap, we were told we'd be getting a discount as we had horrible service that did not happen nor did they care he couldn't get a hold of the general manager so obviously they lied. we will never be back here again. Food is average at best and service is a atrociously bad. Many better places that even a trashcan will be better than this place. read more

Every other Friday night we have to drive from Arlington to North Grapevine in rush hour and back and this is a nice halfway location to stop for dinner. I discovered the restaurant via Groupon thinking we might find a place to become a traditional Friday dinner for our family. It was pretty good. Our kids particularly like the black bean dip they serve with the chips & salsa. I wasn't particularly impressed with the queso but my rice and beans were slightly better than average. I ordered the fajita enchiladas just so I could try both my "standard" Mexican meals at once (fajitas & enchiladas). They were pretty good. The meat seemed to be of good quality, maybe a little bit smokier than my ideal but still good. Service was generally pretty attentive, there was one brief period where our waiter seemed to get busy elsewhere but then he returned with refills for all. Prices were very reasonable. So overall I'd say it's a nice place, better than average, if you live nearby or are driving through it's definitely worth going. I probably wouldn't make it a destination in itself coming from south Arlington but we will likely visit once a month or so when we are driving through. read more

Waitresses and waiters plus the bartender were clueless ? Asked about things on menu snd all three had no idea what the item was or how it was prepared ! Place has potential but not til they train the servers! read more

This is our favorite TexMex. End of story. OK, you deserve more. Start with the table guacamole, it will set a new standard for your expectations. I love the Chili Relenos Ask for the Pablano sauce on everything. It is extra yummy. Always have had exceptional service and good fresh food. The bean dip served with the red salsa is delicious. read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - Patio exterior - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bedford, Texas

First time trying this place... The food was very good, but when I got to the last bite of my guacamole, there was a "Penny" after that I was not hungry anymore... That was just plain nasty and gross, and what ever else you want to call it !!! read more

The food was absolutely amazing, the service could've been better we got a server she was nice but not the best costumer service. There was a server with another table and he was talking about specials, drink menu etc. We had to ask for those things because they weren't brought over to us. The vibe of the restaurant was nice, not too busy but not awkward silence to were i couldn't talk. Food and frozen margaritas are to die for. All worth it. ( we got supreme burritos, and a cowboyrita) read more

FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU MUUUUSSST TRY THE GUAVARITA!!! It is soooo refreshing, perfect for a Hot Summer Texas Day!!! The service was amazing, everyone was so nice and accommodating, we never NEEDED anything! The food was mediocre, nothing to rant and rave about. I will definitely be back but I have to admit my love for this place is mainly because of the GREAT SERVICE we received.. the Margarita played a part too!! read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - A piece of grilled chicken from the salad - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bedford, Texas

Its just okay. The queso is not good. It tasted like powdered cheese and had no flavor. The bean dip they provide with the chips was good. I ordered Sour Cream enchilada and Cheese enchilada. They were just okay. The Cheese Enchilada had more flavor than the sour cream. There are a ton of Tex Mex around the area. This one is my least favorite. read more

As my local neighborhood Mexican food fix, Lupe's is absolutely fantastic!! Fresh made chips, delicious salsa, excellent quest and guacamole!! Love the fajita cheese enchiladas and Chile Relleno!! Have never been disappointed here!! Joe Bob sez check it out!! read more

Visiting from out of town and found this place next to my hotel. Outstanding food and service. Only drawback were the expensive Topshelf Rita's, $13. Although they were pricey, it was made with fresh lime and simple syrup, not pre-made Rita mix. Overall a great experience that I came back 2 days later. read more

I tried to order a Budweiser and they didn't hany. My order was wrong. Waitress never asked if I needed another beer and started bussing the table before we were finished. Prices are higher than similar places around the area. Ok, went back after a while. They still don't have Budweiser but I tried a Tecate and liked it. Food and service were pretty good. read more

The Bedford burrito with chicken topped with chili con carne is my go to meal. This lunch item for $10.81 after tax comes with a giant burrito filled with tender shredded chicken and is rolled in a warm tortilla topped with the tastiest chili con carne sauce and is served with rice, beans and a huge bag of fresh made tortilla chips and salsa. It is soo much food for $10! Be warned that if you get this item during your lunch break, you're going to fall asleep the moment you get back to work lol read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant. But over the years it has changed. Tonight we went back to give it another shot but it was not good at all. Queso way overpriced. Not flexible in making modifications to your meals. Horrible service. Will NOT be back for a very long time. Disappointing. read more

The food is good but they are out of touch. They used to be reasonably priced and like every other Mexican restaurant in the area provided chips and salsa. Now they provide a small bowl but if you eat more than 2 for your whole table, regardless of people, you will have to pay extra for it. Then for fajitas you will pay extra for any tortillas past the couple they provide. Overall prices have risen several dollars per plate from what they were a year ago. Plenty of better options at their current prices that won't skimp on chips or tortillas for fajitas. read more

Food was fine, nothing grand but good. My husband paid the bill with a credit card and Tipped in cash. Then we got our bill and the waitress wrote in her own tip. Mind you we have her cash, but I guess our 20% tip wasn't enough for her she added $10 dollars to our bill. Dishonest people, when we contact them they offered to give us a free meal but the waitress still worked there must have been family. We left not trusting our food or money to them. read more

This place has it all. Great food and atmosphere. The Sopapilla. Is the best here We go here often. Russ in Bedford read more

Always a comfortable, reliable spot with above average food and service until our last visit, (10/5/19). The waitress took my half empty tea glass early on and never returned with a refill. When she finally brought the entrees, 3 out of 4 were ice cold, (cheese enchiladas, of all things!), and my nephew's tamale had a hair on it! When we brought it to the manager's attention, he suggested the hair was part of the corn shuck and offered us 20% off the meal. I scoffed and told him he was about to lose some frequent customers. He just shrugged his shoulders...and took off. On the positive side, it didn't smell of sewage like the other 2 Bedford Tex-Mex joints! read more

Now THIS place is the real deal. The food is a grand slam walk off home run. The portions are huge and the desserts are the two play conversion. The only negative is sometimes the service CAN be a little slow. So its hit or miss sometimes. However i can promise you that if you wait 20 mins or 2 hours, it will be well worth either wait read more

Terrible service, I sat at the bar and no one greeted me or served me. They walked past me like I wasn't evening the building. I won't ever come back to this restaurant. read more

Absolutely horrid food and customer service. Ordered to -go, said it would be ready in 15-20 minutes, arrived 10 minutes after the call, and they were already ready. Drove home-3 minute drive, opened the order and this is what we saw.... food was already cold, dried up shrimp was boiled, not grilled, and looked old , smelled extremely fishy, no tortillas, pico de Gallo juice all over, runny beans with ZERO taste, all onions. Called immediately and told them about the order and that I had no tortillas and the food was cold. She said she would remake it and give me bean dip for my trouble to have to drive back up there. I specifically asked if I needed to bring the food back, and she said NO. Drive back up there and the manager denied everything. Tried to give me 1 small roll of tortillas (for 2 orders), bean dip and chips. Denied that she said she would remake the order. Then I asked for my money back if they wouldn't remake the now really cold order. She said no and offered a discount. I stated again loudly in a full restaurant that I wanted my money back for these crappy shrimp fajitas, or they remake them as promised.She asked me to step outside so she could help the customers. I said, no, I am a customer....she then tried to offer a discount.... I again said no. She then told me to go back home again and get the fajitas and she would remake them, even though she told me no when I specifically asked if I needed to bring the first order back. So again I said no because she told me that I didn't need to when I first called... After more loud back and forth in her full restaurant, when she saw that I wasn't going to back down, she finally agreed to give me a refund. So I will he waiting to see if the charge goes through. $60 with tip for this crappy food, which tasted as bad as it looked. For that price, I expect freshly-made hot food, not what's been sitting there for awhile, as I know it had since it was already cold and dried out from our short drive home. It went in the trash, where it belongs. I used to go here with girlfriends, and while it was rather expensive, the food was always good. I've even gotten their shrimp fajitas before, so I knew what to expect, hot and juicy grilled shrimp. I like supporting local business, but after this experience, I won't ever be back. For the price I paid, $18.99, (which wasn't on the online menu, and had definitely gone up from last time) I expected hot, fresh food, not leftover boiled shrimp that had obviously been just thrown back on to heat up for my meals. Manager arguing with me and asking me to go back for the food, again, and telling me to step outside so she could help her customers, was the last straw! Oh yes, and the queso was $6.00 for a CUP and tasted like watered down velveeta. Thin and runny. I would give ZERO stars for this "restaurant" and the manager's attitude if I could. P.S. We ended up going to Rosa's Cafe, where it was 1/3 of the price and MUCH BETTER HOT, FRESH FOOD AND FRIENDLY SERVICE. ‍ read more

Lupe's Comida con Sabor - Not worth it! Shrimp looked like it was boiled, then "thrown on the grill" to warm up. Disgusting. $18.99 so asked for a refund. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Bedford, Texas

The food is awesome but don't try placing a order to go because they won't answer their phone! We've tried literally for months and they NEVER answer, not sure what's going on but I guess they don't need our business! read more

When walking in you hear good music , expecting to eat good food. When I saw my green chicken enchiladas they looked not good, I saw they use yellow corn tortillas , the chicken was in huge chunks while the sauce wasn't spicy still a bit bitter. However the rice and beans were good read more

First timer and I am satisfied! I ordered the Carne Asada plate from their specialty menu and its delicious! Thank you for making my meal enjoyable. read more

Love the food, and the margaritas are amazing! If I were to critque on anything.. I would say the service could be worked on, but overall great experience. BEAN DIP is delicious!!! read more

DON'T DO IT! It was a horrible experience. The wait was over an hour because they wouldn't open anymore seating. The service was overly aggressive. I took my daughters to the restroom and the damn worker opens the stall that she's in when I specifically tell her that my daughter is in there. What the hell?!?! read more

I took Celeste's advice and took my wife out to a nice mexican dinner at Lupe's on Friday. I always love going to little hole-in-the-wall places that no one's heard about, especially for mexican, because their food just seems to taste better, more authentic...new! When we entered the strip mall, I admit, it was a little hard to find at first because you have to drive all the way around nearly to the back of the strip center to find it...and that's after you traverse the loud crowds roaming the parking lot around Duke's. (If you're planning on going there, if you enter the strip mall from the service road of 183, just head towards the Carnival store and it's right around the corner from there.) Typically when I go to a new mexican restaurant, I base a lot of what I think about the place by their chips and salsa. Think about it, this is the FIRST thing they are wanting you to try, they are banking on the fact that you like their chips and salsa, because they hope that will transcend over to liking their main dishes. Lupe's chips and salsa were a GREAT start to our meal. The chips were lightly salted, warm, fresh out of the kitchen, and they tasted authentic, not like they were just taken out of a bag or something. The salsa had a bit of a kick to it, which was a little too much for my wife and I, but the black bean dip was exquisite. So far, it's shaping into a wonderful dinner experience. I order the "Bedford Special" which consists of a pork tamale, cheese enchilada, and a beef taco, and my wife orders the Pescado Cilantro Lime. Karen was our waitress and she was very assertive, quick, and friendly throughout the entire night. When she brought the food, and I took one whiff of the smell, I knew we were going to be fully satisfied. The tamale was fresh and authentic tasting, the enchilada (which I changed to a beef) was spicy and tasty, and the beef taco was excellent. They use a different spice on their beef that I don't think I have ever tasted, but it was delicious! My wife was ooing and ahhing her wonderful fish plate. She is half Colombian and she said the plate arrangement and spices were like what she had in Colombia when she was a little girl. I got a taste of her grilled veggies and I was ooing and ahhing just like her. The mushrooms and zucchini were grilled with a slight lime zest and thrown together with carrots and peppers...yummy! I'm not much of a fish person but from my wife's perspective and her reactions to every bite, I'd have to guess that it was good. We aren't usually dessert people but again, Celeste had gone on about how good their sopapilla was, so we had to try it. It was probably the BEST (I don't use CAPS that much either) sopapilla I have ever had. It was warm, light and fluffy, but slightly crispy to the bite. What a way to top off the night!! In the end, my wife and I have found a new favorite place to eat Mexican here in the Mid-Cities and we're going to tell everyone we can about it. **TIP** Stick with the sopapilla for your dessert. My wife ordered the flan as well, and she didn't like it so much, and being half latin, she knows flan. They obviously are known for their sopapilla's, so I'd stick with that. **END OF TIP** read more

Lupe's seems sort of lonely in its strip mall -- not because there's nothing around it, but, I think, because it's in kind of a wierd location by the side entrance to the parking lot where the strip mall curves around. So, if you're a cheesy frat boy looking for some action at Duke's, or you just want to grab something quick from McDonald's, or Starbucks, you may never see Lupe's. But that's not my excuse -- I've passed by this place nearly every day since I moved here over 2 years ago. However, for no reason in particular, I've just never felt like giving it a try until today. Things started off strong -- their chips and salsa are great. The chips are crunchy and very corny. Their red salsa has a bit of a bite. They also give you a bean dip, which I mostly ignored, but my wife and kids really liked. Their menu is quite large, with a lot of dishes that you won't find at many other Tex-Mex places. In this regard, the shrimp enchiladas immediately caught my eye. I was a little nervous trying a new dish at a new restaurant (as opposed to trying one of my favorites, like the Tacos al Carbon,) but, what the heck. The shrimp enchiladas were very good. I chose the poblano sauce over the mole. The shrimp were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Everything else that was IN the enchiladas was great, but the poblano sauce was a little bit on the bland side for my taste. While we're on the subject of bland, the rice was a bit bland too. However, I can justify giving Lupe's 4 stars because the shrimp were really outstanding, and the poblano sauce definitely had SOME flavor. Since it was my first time having poblano sauce, I'm not really sure what it was supposed to taste like. Given that my other choice was a mole (which is supposed to be bland,) it's quite possible that it was supposed to be that way. Because I'm a sucker for local places, I'm going to give Lupe's the benefit of the doubt this time (4 stars over 3.) I'll definitely be back, and will try something more familiar to me so that I will know for sure. read more

This is my FAV tex-mex joint in the mid-cities - lovely little locally-owned spot on the backside of a strip mall next to Blockbuster. We used to eat here weekly when we lived in Bedford, but now get there about once every other month and they never disappoint. My favorite thing on the menu is Carne a la Tampenquiena - I'm sure I botched the spelling, but it is so freakin good...it has the BEST ranchero sauce I've ever had. Their enchiladas are pretty good too - they make a great mole sauce. They have a cheap lunch menu, the dinner prices are standard $8-15. Please skip El Chico's, On the Border, Pasado's and go and support our locally-owned businesses like this one! I'm begging you.... read more

I had lunch here last Friday and the service and food were awesome. It was still very busy at 1:30 PM but we were seated within 5 minutes, our drink orders were taken immediately and the waiter was very persistent about taking our food order - I finally told the waiter that we were not in a hurry since "we are killing time between visiting hours in the ICU at the hospital down the street". Our waiter was a sweetheart after that - always checking in but not hovering over us. The chips and salsa were an excellent start - the chips were freshly fried and the salsa was fresh and the perfect spiciness! I had the Friday Special - Grilled Fish Tacos, I subbed the rice for refried beans at no extra cost and grilled veggies (squash and red bell peppers) - and it was excellent and a huge amount of food for a measly 6.99! I also had an excellent margarita which racked up my lunch bill; but, after a week of camping out in the ICU at Harris Hospital the price of a margarita or 2 is an inexpensive indulgence! So, if you happen to live in the area or happen to find yourself camping out out at the hospital down the street check this place out. read more

This restaurant is our family "GO TO" restaurant. The food is great and the service better. We have introduced Lupe's to several of our close friends at church and now regularly run into some of them almost every time we go, and we go there a couple times each week. We have margaritas and Tableside Guacamole every time. Bardo (our favorite waiter) usually sees us come in and has our margaritas on the table by the time we sit down. Then he rolls up the table where he makes our guac and has it in front of us in minutes. If you want great Tex`Mex food and great service, stop by Lupe's. And do yourself a favor and ask for Bardo. read more

Like many other reviewers, I've also been driving by Lupe's every day for years. Yesterday, I took the advise of yelpers and stopped in for a late lunch and now this will be my new favorite in the mid-cities. I think the best way to judge tex-mex is by how well they do the basics , so I ordered the beef enchiladas off of the lunch menu (which runs till 4:00), and it passed my test with flying colors. The food was served fast, was hot, really flavorful without being greasy, and the thick, warm tortilla chips were a real treat. Even at 2:30, there were a few customers and service was excellent. Going to a restaurant at odd times can sometimes be a risk, both food and service wise, but no problem at Lupe's. I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu. read more

What a gem! It's been a long time since I've eaten in the Mid-Cities (Hurst - Euless - Bedford lie in between Dallas and Fort Worth) and I am super happy that I happened to be in the neighborhood when a friend asked me to join him for dinner. What did I like? Lots of things. (Disclaimer - I am from South Texas where great Mexican food rules, which means I don't give out 5-stars lightly for any other Mexican food.) 1. Fresh, home-made and nearly perfect flour tortillas 2. Table side guacamole (so you know it's real) 3. Excellent margaritas 4. Ice-cold Model Especial 5. Very reasonable prices 6. Good kids menu 7. Excellent chips and salsa 8. Black bean dip served with chips and salsa 9. Friendly wait staff 10. Good quality fajita meat that was seasoned to perfection! Lupe's is WAY out of the way from my normal path. That said, I will go out of my way to eat here again! Enjoy! read more

I don't often feel so bad for posting a negative review... But I'd be doing the public a disservice if I didn't. I've eaten here plenty of times. It's about halfway between my parents place and mine... so we would meet up here often. I've enjoyed literally everything I've ever eaten there (except for the atomic sauce... Kinda gross). I don't have anything bad to say about the recipes. It's just casual mexican/tex-mex. However, the last time I was here (and the last time, ever) we had quite an issue. My girlfriend ordered a dish which was served with mixed grilled veggies and potatoes as a side dish. One of the potato chunks actually had a mother-loving COCKROACH inside of it. It was a mini roach or baby, totally dead (cooked) into this potato. Immediately, we notified our server who was apologetic to the point of tearing up. He got his manager who, honestly, did not impress. This is where they went horrendously wrong. The young manager approached a table about 3 tops down and proceeded to ask them if anyone found a roach in their food. After replying no, he went to the next table and repeated the process. And then the next table. Now, hopefully none of them had found little buggies in their food, but I guarantee they were looking for them now!!! He returned to the kitchen and then came back out to the correct table, ours. He seemed pleased to have finally found the culprit. Ahem, I mean victim. After the typical apology spiel he said that he would HALVE the cost of our meal. Now, I don't go out looking for problems and subsequent free meals, but there was a damn bug in the food. That = free in my eyes. But it gets better. We were then told how surprised he was that there was a roach since they have an exterminator visit the location EVERY TWO WEEKS. Every two weeks? I don't hire an exterminator unless I have bugs. I don't know about you. So, to sum up, we won't be going back. It's unfortunate because I actually did enjoy their dishes and some of the unique spins they took with the cuisine. However, I can't un-see that little roach and the look on my girlfriend's face when it emerged from her potatoes. Adieu, Lupe's. read more

Lupe's has great food--the portions are huge. I'd like to see smaller portions & smaller prices, but for what you pay, you get your money's worth. I'm just not much of a fan of leftovers... Chips are good; I like the bean dip and salsa mixed together.. The SWIRLS are so good. 2 will do you. I've never had a complaint about the service or the food. Anyone should enjoy this place! read more

Lupe's Tex Mex Grill FOOD: The chips are great. They have a little salt so you don't have dump a whole bunch on them right when you get there, unless you are addicted to salt and grew up in the 1950's. The salsa is just spicy enough in my opinion. I am from up north and I don't want my mouth on fire. But I enjoy the bean dip best. It is a nice change up to just regular salsa. It is fantastic. Everything I have ever ordered there was delicious and always made to my preference. DRINKS: I quite enjoy the swirls. They are made perfectly and have a kick to them. As swirls should have. SERVICE: I have never EVER had a problem. I had my 30th pre-party birthday dinner there last year and I called and made arrangements. My table was ready and my group and I were waited on promptly. COMMENTS: I love this place. I would recommend it to anyone. It's quaint and a nice change from all the stupid chains!!! read more

Lupes! You'll always have my heart. I had my rehearsal dinner here in 2010 and frequented their patio pretty much every Friday for happy hour in my teaching years (pre-motherhood). They serve up a great menu both foodie and drinkie! Their vegetables are amazing. I know that's not particularly what you'd go to tex-mex for, but they are NOT to be missed. Carrots, mushroom and mixed zuchinni and squash...YUMMO.. Love any of their shrimp dishes too, and the Bedford burrito with queso on the side if I'm really in the mood for the true tex-mex dish. The margaritas are huge, tend to make your head fall off (and I mean with lots of love in my heart), and the happy prices are great. $3 bucks for a smaller portion of their famous house margarita. AWESOME. Customer service has always been a plus. These employees work hard and always treat you right! Love the little complimentary Spanish lesson our waiter gave my sister, mom and I at our last visit in September! I have visited the Arlington location as well, but Bedford is my favorite! read more

Found this place on Yelp actually and since the reviews were good, went and tried it on 8-12-08. We were immeadiately seated which was nice. Hate waiting to be sat. The waiter was nice enough but I had that feeling he wanted to be at our table as little as possible (it wasn't busy). Also, we had a bad language barrier so we had to repeat the order a few times. I got an enchilada plate. The tortilla's were good, however the beef was a little bland. The sauce was tasty but I would of liked more cheese on top. My fiance got something I can't pronounce but she said it was too spicy and was only able to eat about 1/4th of the meal. She mentioned if she wanted food that hot, we would've went and had Thai food. We did try the margarita's and they were good...and strong. I've always been a big believer that if the chips and salsa are good, then usually good food follows. My fiance and I both didn't care for the chips, however she loved the black bean dip and I found the normal red salsa to be more heat than flavor. Overall, the place wasn't bad. I wouldn't say the food is authentic per say, but it was a decent change of pace. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again, however if I was close, I might stop by if I was craving mexican food. read more

Came here at 1pm on a Tuesday and the lunch crowd is gone. The service was fast and the food is excellent. I ordered and definitely recommend the brisket enchilada, the beef is very tender and tasty. The salsa that comes with the complimentary chips is spicy but not tongue burning. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican place, if only it was closer to my house!! The service is great, usually, and the food has always been perfect. They bring out a bran dip with the salsa that is unbelievably fresh and tasty. Hubs gets Litas dip ( queso + ground beef) and I like the cheese taco plate. I always ask if one can be covered in chili con carne so I get the best of both worlds! read more
