Chiles Rellenos
Cat G.

if you love Mexican food, this place is a real hidden gem. They have tons of outdoor covered seating, which was perfect on a sunny day. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the food was some of the best Mexican food we've had in the area. The covered patio is secluded, relaxing and feels like you're on vacation. I highly recommend trying Lupitas Cantina if you like good Mexican food.

Chimichanga (Ground Beef) with refried beans + Mexican Rice

The food is very very good, and the service is even better. Everything comes out VERY QUICK and warm! Highly recommend.

Fastest and friendliest service EVER even on a busy evening. Perfect place for an impromptu date night. Live singer was offering up fresh yet soulful renditions of Milky Chance in the beautiful outdoor patio area. We asked to sit in the outside patio area since the weather was just right. Great location in the charming historic downtown area. I had the chili rellenos, which I order at pretty much every Mexican restaurant on my first visit, and it was good. My husband got a great deal on street tacos since we visited on Taco Tuesday. He says thumbs up on the street tacos. The $3.99 margarita was good! We also shared fried ice cream which was divine. Everything went just right at this place. Everybody smiling. Great vibes. We highly recommend Lupitas Cantina.

Golden margarita

The food was insanely good, everyone in my family loved their meals nobody had anything negative to say. The service was very attentive and helpful with giving guidance or recommendations. The golden marg was amazing, I've had the blue carribean marg at the perrysburg farmers market and that one's so good too. The outdoor patio is heated andlooks like a must for next time. We'll definitely be back!

Shrimp Fajitas, Shrimp Burrito, Loco Quesadillas. Excellent Food! My go to when visiting Ohio!

Best Mexican food around! My go to when visiting Ohio! The shrimp fajitas, Loco quesadilla and shrimp burrito are absolutely fantastic and the service is five star!

Vegan beef Street tacos

I came here after seeing the restaurant post on Facebook about someone leaving them a bad review on Google, and them being a newer business. They had been on my list to check out, but I just hadn't made it yet. It was phenomenal!!!! I got the vegan beef street tacos, and a jalapeño cucumber margarita! Soooooo good!

Came for lunch. We had a quesadilla and a carne Asada street taco and a cheese enchilada! Food was great and service was amazing. This is in the old casa Barron location. They have an outside patio area that looks amazing it sit and eat when the weather get better.

Shrimp Tacos with Mexican rice & fries

Amazing Mexican restaurant. Drive to Perrysburg for the Salt Cave. My coworker & myself were hungry. We were walking towards Hood park and noticed Lupita's. Soooooo glad we stopped. The food is authentic. Huge portions. The atmosphere is super cute. The staff is very friendly and professional. Received our food very quickly. Even the bathroom is clean. Love this place. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive from Michigan. I will absolutely, positively go back to Lupita's.

The best part of the chimichanga was the refried beans. The Al Pastor inside didn't seem very authentic, and the portion sizes weren't huge. However, I will say that for $12, it wasn't that bad of a meal. I was disappointed with the lack of authenticity though, for a place with such a culturally rich interior.

Mango salsa

Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the flavorful, varied food, generous portions, friendly, attentive service, and popular margaritas. The ambiance, including the outdoor patio, is also appreciated.

I was traveling through the area, so I decided to stop and eat at this restaurant. At first, I…read moredidn't think I'd like it, but my opinion changed completely; we ordered *carne en su jugo* and tacos, and I was surprised by how delicious everything was. I'd really recommend it--10/10. The atmosphere is great, too, and the music is good. Service really good and really friendly worker 10/10

https://www.facebook.com/BaldWhiteGuyReviews…read more One request: "Come get me and I want Mexican." Empty nesting is hard, guys. So naturally, we caved, loaded up ole red, and headed north. We did a quick search and landed on Cocina de Carlos in Perrysburg, Ohio. Now, let's be real, Mexican food has basically taken over America at this point. Honestly, I'm all for embracing our new cultural diversity... just as long as it keeps coming smothered in melted queso and backed by free-market capitalism. The place is decorated pretty much exactly like every other Mexican restaurant you've ever been to, and the menu is your typical Americanized festive lineup: tacos, fajita, enchiladas, burritos, oh and cheese sauce. But then something at the top of the menu caught my eye. One of "Carlos' Top 20" dishes: The Pineapple Don Charly. I'm not sure who Don Charly is, but you had me at Pineapple. It's half of a ripe pineapple, hollowed out and filled with mushrooms, onions, pineapple chunks, and baked with cheese on top. There are a few varieties, but I landed on the Mango-Bacon. Um, what? Yes please. It came loaded with 12 jumbo shrimp, bacon, and mango chorizo (and we all know how much I love chorizo) completely covered in cheese. It came with tortillas, rice, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, and beans (could have honestly done without the beans, but whatever). Look at this absolute beast of a meal. It was AMAZING. Not for a light eater, folks. I made several soft tacos out of it and left completely stuffed. But... here comes the drama. Out of all those beautiful shrimp, about 4 or 5 of them were NOT peeled. I'm sorry, but what kind of communist serves shrimp unpeeled?! Seriously, making me do manual labor for my seafood? Unbelievable. Despite the shrimp shell conspiracy, it looked great, tasted great, and made for an awesome picture. The half-pineapple is a huge flex for presentation, and I love pineapple. The prices weren't bad at all, either. You can see on the receipt in that this massive dish was only $22. For the sheer amount of food you get, I didn't think that was a bad price at all in today's economy. Overall, this place is pretty much like all the other Mexican spots, but I'm giving it a solid rating just for the killer presentation of my dish. ‍‍‍‍ 4 out of 5 Bald Heads (Peel ALL the shrimp and it would have been a 5 of 5). If you're ever up in Perrysburg, stop by and give this dish a try! Do me a massive favor: LIKE this post, SHARE it to start a massive debate on peeled vs. unpeeled shrimp, and FOLLOW the page for more of our food adventures! #CocinaDeCarlos #PerrysburgOhio #MexicanFoodTakeover #PineappleDonCharly #FoodComa #CommunistShrimp #SupportLocal #EmptyNesters #FoodieDrama #EatLocalOH

I have nothing bad to say about Carlos's Waterville location...well there is one little thing...see…read moremy tip. But in general, like his Perrysburg location, and his place downtown (Toledo), this is an excellent restaurant. Is the food authentic? Probably not, but personally, I couldn't care less. Tex-Mex and Toledo-Mex are good enough for me. (Besides, authenticity is overrated. After all, would you want to go to a Brazilian restaurant and find atta laevigata on your plate? Hell no, I'd say). My man Deadpool would LOVE this place, because Carlos makes one of the best chimichangas in the city. Also, what he can do with pineapple and cactus, you need to taste in order to believe. The salsa is made with the same recipe that he uses at his two other establishments, and, it's the best salsa in the city. It's made from scratch two times per day, and you can really taste the freshness. The service, at least at the bar, was perfect; it was fast, friendly, and accurate. The building that houses the restaurant was built in 1840. Suffice it to say, this restaurant is not located in a strip mall. The atmosphere is dynamite. Do yourself a favor and check it out, along with Peddler's Alley. I/we will definitely be returning. 5 stars.

The reason I give the place 4 stars is because if you're gonna go, you wanna go later in the day when there's more people in the restaurant. When you go for lunch between 11-2, the restaurant is pretty dead. Unfortunately, when the restaurant is dead, the servers are dead as well. They are pretty slow in the beginning of the day but when more people show up later, they liven up and service gets much improved

At first glance, I wasn't sure if it was a takeout place or a restaurant, but I could see it was a dine-in restaurant upon entering. The ambiance is rather dark but with a pleasant atmosphere with colorful decor. I was surprised that there weren't more people there at prime lunch time. I was promptly seated and served with tortilla chips and salsa while I reviewed the menu. The chips were thicker than I prefer and the salsa was rather thin/watery for my taste. The flavor of the salsa, however, was good. I ordered the lunch "Special Burrito" with shredded chicken and guacamole salad. It was promptly served. I would have preferred an entree with beans and rice but my server informed me that the beans were fried in lard; I'm not a fan of lard and there were no other bean options. The chicken burrito was decent and the guacamole was fresh. The fresh guacamole was the best part. I added some of the watery salsa to give the dish more flavor, but it mixed with the watery bland creamy red sauce that was already part of the burrito. It wasn't bad aside from the watery texture but definitely nothing I would crave. It was a fairly quick lunch that cost approximately $7.50 (only water as a beverage) before tip. I might stop in again if in the area, but might also keep driving. I've posted a picture of my lunch below.
