This was my first time trying Lupe's, even though I'm from the area, and unfortunately I wasn't very impressed. I ordered the chile relleno burrito and one crunchy beef taco. The pricing was decent, but the food itself fell short for me. The biggest issue was the flavor. The food was bland overall, and even the red salsa didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing. The chile relleno inside the burrito was also not quite what I was hoping for. The chile was still a bit crunchy, whereas I personally prefer a softer chile relleno. It also seemed like there wasn't enough egg batter around the chile, and the cheese inside wasn't fully melted, so the burrito just didn't come together the way I expected. The taco was okay, but nothing really stood out. In an area with a lot of strong Mexican food options nearby, I've definitely had better in the area, both in taste and in overall value, including larger portions. I went on a Sunday evening and ordered the food to go, so I did not dine in, but from what I saw, the place was very quiet, with only one other person there. The seating area looked pretty limited, and no one appeared to be eating there at the time. That said, this was only my first visit, and I'm willing to give them another try and order something different next time. I'm also updating my photos since it looks like they now accept credit cards and their business hours have changed. read more

Hard shell beef tacos are consistently great here. Comes loaded with beef, lettuce, a slice of tomato, and topped with cheese. Red sauce adds nice flavor. Made to order, and the staff is friendly at the order/pickup counter. The small dining area has a few tables. Worth the stop if you're driving through town. read more

It looked like a great place. I order the steak sandwich and was expecting that. Instead I got a carne asada torta not what I was expecting at all. I asked if the steak sandwich was a diced carne asada torta the girl told me yes. That's what it is. The piña water was extremely water down didn't expect that either. Maybe it was just my luck not saying it's not good but to me it wasn't the day. I literally took 2 bites of my sandwich and left it. French fries were soggy not good. Sorry but maybe it was just my bad luck. Pastrami sandwich was probably the only good item on the menu for me. read more

Love the Special Quesadilla with Pastrami The Beef and cheese the hard shell tacos!!!! Been going since the 70's new owners a few years back but the food is the same. Highly recommend. Pico Legend!!! read more

My family has been coming here for years. Food is always fresh and delicious! Love the Chile Verde Burrito and their Chicharrón Burrito. My kids love their taquitos and fries. Hard shell taco are a fav as well. Definitely recommend read more

Fast, friendly service and order preparation. Loved my carne asada tacos. Guacamole made them special and the comp side of chips and spicy red salsa were much appreciated. Very fair prices. Food very fresh. Loved the A rating too. I ate in my car cause I was on the move from one work site to the next, but they had a nice covered seating area or room that looked nice and comfortable for those wanting to dine at a table, and seemed to have a tv. I love that! read more

They would make more money if they offered ground beef in a burrito or anything else other than the taco. I called to see if they would add in for a burrito and they said (NO we can't do it. We only make enough for the ground beef tacos). Ok. One more point - please stop adding so much SALT to the green salsa. Yikes. Brutal read more

Haven't eaten here for years. I remember their burritos were very tasty. So I got on the tele, and ordered one Machaca and Carnitas burrito. Once I arrived, I told them I ordered via cell, and they told me it would be right out. Service is great and with a smile. The establishment is small with 5 parking spots but there is street parking. I received my order and was about to pay with my CC, but she said they only accepted cash. The Machaca was filled with shredded beef and very tasty. The carnitas had lettuce, guacamole, refried beans, and shredded pork. It was delicious. The refried beans were super good. Great place to stop for a quick meal. read more

Great tacos...spicy salsa...I wish they'd make new menu signs for outside. They're so old and fading away.

Went there last week and figured I would try it and see if they were as good as Pepe's ? But no not at all... I tried one of everything and no good or flavor except for the chili cheese fries, other than that??? Not the business at all. read more

Taco meat had no flavor salsa was watery and no spice fries were old and super oily expensive for low quality of food

The food use to be better. I would go every Friday to get the same meal which I Loved was the burrito de Chicharrón . It was the bomb. Fast forward now to 10 years later it is horrible. I also use to order the Torta de Carne Asada, now it's not Carne Asada it's like ground beef . Very awful place. Before on Fridays it use to be pack now I hardly see anyone there. I will never go back again. read more

This was my favorite restaurant until recently .. I'm really sad and depressed..

If you love Mexican food, avoid this place! They don't use cilantro or onions, it's more like "American tacos" lettuce and tomato. Meat has no seasoning, their salsas are water down. Never again! read more

Best torta I have ever had! Great menu, super cute and very nice ladies working there. I can't wait to go try a burrito with the great selection but the torta was truly delicious! Only thing I didn't like was the salsa/hot sauce, it was all heat and no flavor. read more

So years as LA RESIDENT, I always wanted to try this spot....( IG), reminded me to try it finally... We bought two carne asada burritos, and one beef & bean burrito.... It was horrible and over priced... the burrito was the size of my palm to finger tip... the size didn't matter if it was good, but it wasn't. It was all bean , no cheese, no rice and at the bottom of the burrito was ground up hamburger meat with spice, to make it taste like carne asada, which it wasn't carne asada.... I will never go there again, and I will tell my peeps, not to go there..... Also, when I ask the girl what was inside of the burrito, she stated that rice, beans, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce and of course carne asada.... Who ever reads this don't go there, a non happy Mexican/American... read more

This restaurant was highly recommended, everyone recommended the hard shell taco. I'll admit, it did not disappoint. Very good flavor, not greasy and all the ingredients tasted fresh. The only thing I felt needed improvement are the greens and red salsas. The lacked flavor and heat. The pineapple water also tasted over sweetened. The ground beef on these hard tacos tasted great! Definitely worth a second visit. read more

WORSE PLACE EVER! If I could give it a 0 I would. I was so excited to try this place since its in my neighborhood but the rudest people work here got my order wrong , I ordered a CHEESEBURGER which I paid extra for I took it back they had the audacity to say I didn't order that when I clearly paid extra. He knew he was wrong, took my burger back and slapped cold cheese on it when the burger was bitten couldn't even make a newly fresh cheeseburger. Please save your money I don't know how this place is still open especially when it's a "small business"Bad food, bad service. read more

I want to start off by saying I had a burrito spot in East Los Angeles. Funny thing, though it has a very Similar name but the exact Menu, but Lupe's Restaurant is alot closer to me and tastes Great. I have ordered every burrito they have, and they are all Delicious but I Highly recommend the number #17 the Beef, Bean & Cheese with Red Sauce, warning though it is really really really Spicy, but if you can handle hot Spicy food, this burrito is for you. After eating the #17 burrito, that's the only thing I order now. Last Lupe's your my New Burrito spot and closer. Thank you and keep up the good work, your new lifetime customer read more

Been coming here since I was a kid been ordering the same Best Bean and cheese Guacamole burrito (Now I add red chili to it ) with there home made fries and delicious guacamole cheese taquitos I'll update my post with a picture I always say I'll take a Okc an then I eat it and forget lol It's Cash ONLY don't forget read more

The food was Ok But let's talk about the Service! First off it's pretty pricy so Please get my order right. Ended up coming home with stuff I did not order, then when I called the girl made it my fault, she was extremely RUDE! Literally talking back & raising her voice. Would not make my order right from the moment I said "hello I just got home & you must have given me the wrong order" oh man was she MAD! She interrupted me and wouldn't let me get a word in said That's what you ordered. I really never had problems here until recently. Because of this treatment I'll not be going back anymore. I'll take the drive to East La to the Original LUPES. read more

Great food and inexpensive. I go every time I'm in the neighborhood. Red chile all meat burrito and hard shell tacos are the best.

What the heck happened to the burritos?? Shall I say, where's the beef?! This is the green chile with beef in red chile. I don't understand how it can be so thin. It's not a bean & cheese burrito! read more

Always great Customer Service. Always super fast processing of your food order. Always great quality tasting food. Prices have gone up a little bit over recent years, but still well worth the money for all items on the menu. I've tried various burritos, various taco styles, various meats, and everything has always been amazing. Be careful of the hot sauce as it can be pretty hot, and I generally enjoy some heat. read more

Alful experience, heard so much about this place from reviews , wanted to try a late lunch with a few family members , first off cash only and I ordered the bean cheese with green sauce and add onions, after review of menu I noticed this one did not include the cheese !! They said .75 more , forget it! The burrito was horrible and so very salty, I immediately got acid reflux For three days, I ordered also taquitos which were over fried if that's the correct wording as well as a taco which had large Ground beef pieces and no real flavor, I think I could make better at home. The hot sauce was so hot that it Was unbearable, with no real flavor just heat... Needless to say I will not go back. If I could give 0 star I would of ... sadly read more

This is the smaller Lupe's but I like that there's parking, it's not crowded and the food is done quickly. I usually get burritos but they have other food options as well. I ordered fries once but they were probably not fried with fresh oil. read more

Been coming for a long time now, the past few years they have been raising the prices of the food. At first whatever ok.... but now it's getting too...overpriced. Marios and Jims are cheaper. But the worst thing about Lupe's is they tell you one price on the phone and a different price when you get there. One time the girl said "$15" I said "I was told $12 over the phone", she goes "oh yeah $12". Like what?? One time I called in another order guy told me 23.00 over the phone, my husband goes to pick the food up, guy tells him $24.50. Then my husband mentions his confusion and why, the guy just ignores him and repeats the "$24.50" louder. Won't be eating there anymore. read more

This place really hits the spot when you're in the mood for hard shell tacos and taquitos. Fyi, parking is limited and it's cash only. * Ask for the green salsa (it's better than the red in our opinion). read more

Decent old school white washed Mexican food. Points off for the rude service. Oh and you can't use card here.

Picked up lunch there for the first time today 6/3/2020, I had the Chili Relleno burrito and it was fabulous. The flavors were perfect and the cheeses used added to the right amount of sharpness to the sweet & spiciness OC the chili. I have to say it's the very best Chili Relleno burrito I have had in a very long time. My wife had the taquito's and was pleasantly surprised that they used fresh avocado for their guacamole... We will definitely be back! read more
