Barria Street Tacos
Cynthia D.

An unexpected turn brought us here after stopping & looking up Mexican food near. It's all about the food heat. I was excited to try their Barria Tacos. The flavor they have in this meat is absolutely delicious so very satisfying. There's also a small taco truck out back (Mexican Corn & Fruit Truck) is where we got the corn . Don't pass up trying their food. The corn was delicious. We will be back to enjoy more of this delicious food.

Street Tacos

First time here and I can say that I look forward to coming back again and again! The menu has many options to choose from. I settled on the birria tacos and my friend chose two street tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I forgot to mention a side of rice was also bought for our meal. Our food was brought out in about 15min. Piping hot and pleasant on the eyes I was excited. The first bite of the rice, tears of joy :-)! The rice reminded me of my grandma who lives in AZ. The birria tacos were toasted just right and the broth that accompanied was oh so good. Overall, the food was amazing! Everything was flavorful, the salsas provided had the right amount of heat! I look forward to many return trips!

Biri Biri Tacos and Steak Burrito
Neil W.

Super tasty Tacos (Biri Biri) dipping Tacos. Yumm!!! Really nice folks. Usually go to the one on Pine Forest. Food was great just as our usual spot. Stop by, the food will not disappoint!!!

Boarded from lack of glass.  Perhaps this was only  temporary!?!

Decent authentic food at a reasonable price. The restaurant reminds me of a very old run down Wendy's, with a busted window, which was boarded-up with plywood. However, the interior was clean, despite its aged appearance. There is plenty of parking, but I would avoid the very back, as there is a homeless encampment behind the restaurant, which was spilling over into the parking lot. I would eat there again, but I would use the drive through.

Texas quesadilla and dipping burrito

Stopped here due to Yelp reviews and SCORE. Great fresh authentic food. Loved it. Delicious.

My cheese and chicken quesadilla
Isla B.

The food is amazing!I got a grilled cheese and chicken quesadilla. It was so cheesy and they are not stingy with the cheese and chicken there. The service was overall good the waitress came to check on us every few minutes or so, but not that frequent. it was very clean there. It was small, kind of quiet and calm.would recommend it.

Wet Dipping Tacos (Birria Tacos)
Moneka M.

This food was so good. I had to order an extra plate to good. The wet tacos had so much flavor and love. I will be back when I come back to Pensacola.

three plates of food

I've been on a mission to find the best birria tacos around and Lupitas might just be the best. The barbacoa was flavorful not watered down like I've had elsewhere. Taco had the perfect crunch, plenty of melted cheese and topped just nice. Love this sit down location.

Burrito Campechano

Burritos are super delicious here at a reasonable price. Quick service and the sauce is decent.

Get the queso, one of the best I've ever had!
Sandy N.

I have never tried Lupita's, but heard good things about them. They now have a brick and mortar on Pensacola Blvd. so I needed to check it out. I was really impressed! Everything we had was great. The man taking the order was really helpful and very kind. I ordered the birria tacos. You get 4 with the most tender shredded beef you can imagine. You also get a cup of broth to dunk your taco into, and it's a beautiful thing. My husband got the same with chicken, which he enjoyed, but mine was better. My son got the California burrito that has tons of things stuffed inside and it is huge! He said it was pretty great. My only complaint is that the green sauce is very bland. Watch out for those pickled carrots, they are delicious, but HOT! Oh! They don't have chips and salsa, but their cheese sauce is killer! Probably the best queso I've ever had. Get it, you won't regret it! We will be back!

Dipping Tacos (Birria Tacos)
Kacia C.

THESE ARE THE BEST QUESO BIRRIA TACOS IN THE AREA PERIOD. Pricing is reasonable, food came out fresh hot and fast. I got them with no onion just cilantro and lime and an issue I have with other places in general is alsways still finding onion in my tacos and that wasn't an issue with this SO ITS LIKE 1000x BETTER. Also got an agua fresca AND IT WAS SO FRESH SO JUCY just overall such a good experience. Support local businesses

Wish they made home made tortillas.... All that's good is the prices and salsas. Tacos are average and burritos aren't that good.

I came in hungry so I was ready for a solid meal…read more The place has street parking and it's ample. The vibe in this place is pretty good,played decent music and the service was really good-our server was that perfect balance of attentive while letting us enjoy our dinner in peace if that makes sense. My party ordered various margaritas for dinner-while I ordered an Old Fashioned($9.00). I can say for sure this was the most full Old Fashioned I've ever had,pretty stiff and was probably my favorite part of dinner. We also ordered chips and salsa($4.00)-Flavorless salsa and bland tortilla chips. I ended up ordering their namesake dish the Flying Burrito($17.00) which features Skirt Steak, Chicken, and Creole Shrimp. The steak and chicken were fine, but the shrimp was a completely different story. It was extremely fishy and had a rubbery texture that made it nearly impossible to enjoy. I instantly thought, "Yep, this is probably going to make me sick." I checked the walls and this place has won many local awards so maybe they were just having a bad night but yeah didn't love much about this place outside of the Old Fashioned.

Where do I even begin?…read more We had our wedding at Garden & Grain this weekend and it was absolutely flawless. I have to start with the most important parts of our day which were Cara & Jadyn, our event coordinators and Nick & Jesse, our bartenders. Cara and Jadyn were literal earth-movers and magic makers. These two helped us get everything decorated and torn down with absolute ease (and we had an awful lot of decor we brought in.) By the time we moved into the ceremony, Jadyn was everywhere ensuring we started when we were ready, the guests were ready for us to enter, and just made us feel so at ease. We heard from so many guests that they didn't even realize the chairs got moved from the garden into the grainhouse between because it was so fast and flawlessly executed. These folks were so stealthy bringing 75 chairs between different spaces. Bravo. Our caterer was just arriving as we were about the walk the aisle. We had no idea the chaos that was ensuing behind the scenes that Jadyn and the team worked out as quickly as possible and without our guests even recognizing there was a delay in the start time of the food service. Obviously catering is a huge part of the day, and it would have been so stressful had we realized they were 30+ minutes behind. The execution of our wedding could not have happened flat out without these two wonderful people. We are so grateful for you both, Cara and Jadyn. You deserve all the praise in the world and are absolutely amazing event coordinators. Oh, and Jadyn, thanks for never letting us have a drink less than half full - your impeccable attention to detail is what every event coordinator should strive for. Now, the other critical aspect to a wedding is bar service. Nick and Jesse had those drinks flowing non stop all night. There was never a guest waiting in line or without a drink from before the ceremony to last moments. Our guests were complimenting all night on how amazing the bar service was. We are a family with one side from New Orleans, we know how to party and going into it with 2 bartenders for 75 people who know how to have a good time was an anxiety for us, but there was not a single mishap in the bar service and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our guests or us. Not to mention, every time I looked at Nick or Jesse, they were both smiling and so happy to be there with us - it meant a lot to feel like your vendors were a part of your wedding. The space lent itself so naturally to our ceremony and reception. It was beautiful, cozy, clean, and just 100% our vibe. Our guests also complimented all night on what a cool venue we had. If you're thinking about booking an event, particularly a wedding here, don't hesitate. There's not a dang thing I would change about Garden & Grain, Perfect Plain and the people they had assisting us and our guests throughout the event. Being able to look back and see how smoothly things ran is every Bride's dream, and without a doubt you will have the same experience that we did here. Thank you G & G/Perfect Plain/Perennial Hospitality for the amazing experience on our wedding date. You have no idea what this meant to us. It means even more to feel that you guys actually enjoyed being there with us. Pat yourselves on the back and know that you are shining examples of what a wedding venue is supposed to operate like. Cheers to you guys, thank you once again for everything!

We held my daughter's wedding reception there. Jayden, the events coordinator was so easy to work…read morewith. She and her staff were with us each step of the way. Kaley, the bartender worked well with all our guests, including the kids and non-alcohol drinkers. They loved her mocktails! Definitely recommend this venue!

First off let me say this was a very busy night as we went right before new years…read more When we arrived as a party of 8 we were quoted a 20min wait time. We waited 30 min before our table was ready. Now that isn't a large difference but a place that "appears classy" should know that if the wait is longer than what is quoted they should come check on the guests/offer appetizers/apologizes. After sitting it was 10min before our server came and got our order then took 45 min for our food to come out! This restaurant looks very nice and upscale and the servers were friendly but everything was very slow. There were multiple door dash drivers and order pick ups who waited PROLONGED periods of time for their food. When I went to the restroom the other half of the restaurant was half empty. They could have been playing catch up but that just isn't a great look. A few locals said this is very abnormal and they are usually quick but that just wasn't my experience. Again, with long waits and less than par attention I myself would've offered appetizers on the house. On to the food - everything was quite yummy and fresh. It was actually a pleasant surprise that the "California twist" didn't completely negate the tradition Mexican cuisine. I'm from south Texas where Mexican food is done fairly traditionally so Mexican food with a twist is usually not my favorite. I would definitely give this place an another try and I think you should to!

20$ for this... Cali burrito basically just potatoes and like a sliver of asada. They got it wrong…read morethe first time too and put cheese as well. My gf got the tacos and a single taco had more meat than my burrito. Not the way I wanted to spend my birthday but never ever again. Save your money.
