I walked in and the guy (cook I guess) was on his phone. I had to ask if they were open. The food is good. A bit pricey for what you get. I ordered a taquito plate and it was $14.25 for two taquitos, rice and beans. I ate it there and was never checked on once. After my plate was brought to me, and she asked if there was anything else I would like, I asked for sour cream and was told it was extra. I asked how much, and told $3.80. I can't even imagine what it looked like, with the plate so small. Also, I could see if they were busy, but I was the only customer until another couple guys walked in together. read more

The restaurant is close door neighbor to Vittoria Pizza restaurant another good restaurant,we were very curious about Lupitas we know they Mexican food how good is it we went there to try it out. The restaurant is small but very decorated items from Mexico decorated the restaurant. We were looking the menu at the menu display above the counter. We were ready to order my wife order the chicken enchiladas with rice bean and I order the caldo de res or beef stew. The owner offer us chips and salsa the chips were pretty good nice and warm and salsa was pretty good. Then she brought our meal to the table.

Food is bomb service takes awhile but worth the wait parking pretty crazy overall.though.food is delicious

I wanted this place to be bomb but salsa was definitely from a can. Everyone had different plates but same can.

The food tastes like love built it. Delicious and speedy. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Came back again today for the same thing as my last review but except this time I also added bacon and once again didn't disappoint and Maria is also super sweet and nice ! Love her. Their other stuff is amazing too I love enchiladas mole and their Baja burrito they have sopas too like menudo y caldo de pollo y cocidos read more

It's good hot af lol but great service and food, try the melon juice(cantaloupe) mmm yes!!!

Highly recommend very excellent food good costumer service. I love this place. I go here every other day with the family. Very friendly.

To be honest, my two co-workers and myself had our hearts set on this little Italian restaurant for lunch, only to find out they are closed on Monday. Great restaurant, but will have to do a review on them in the future. So with our original choice being closed, we didn't want to waste our precious lunch time and drive somewhere else, so we decided to eat at Lupita's, which is located right next door. What a wonderful suprised, the food was really good. Even the chip's and salsa was good. My co-workers ordered the beef flautas, and chicken mole, and I ordered the machaca with egg. Wow, great taste, great flavor, was just like a really good home cooked meal. My co-workers enjoyed their dishes as well, so everybody was happy. Place was a little small, but decorated nicely and clean. Our waitress was awesome, friendly, attentive, and helpful. So no complaints here, nice little find. Will definitely be back. read more

I ordered a carne asada plate and salsa verde burrito... I was disappointed with the carne asada... I got Milanese meat, instead of ranchera. I had seen other photos where they clearly use ranchera and it looked good so I figured why not give it a try... near clearly not cooked on a grill like stove... it was more like fried meat... not reviewing burrito as I did not taste it. The food is slightly over priced... I wouldn't come back, sadly! I was truly craving carne asada with a bit of guacamole.. instead, I got fried Milanese with 1/2 a sliced avocado. The salsa rojo they make is pretty good though, it slightly saved the meal but still very disappointed! read more

So, I love mexican food and I love big portions. I was looking for a new spot to try and found this place; it's a little hole-in-a-wall place, but it's clean, cozy and inviting. It feels like you're at your aunts house. When I first arrived, I was greeted by a friendly waitress and she sat us down; she offered chips and salsa, which are complimentary.I browsed through the menu and decided to try the enchiladas de mole; omg, so delicious. The texture is so smooth and it feels like heaven in your mouth. So, I've been coming here for several months now and I always order the enchiladas; you have to try them. They are to do die for. This is the spot to visit when you wanna feel like you're at home; it'll remind you of your mom's cooking; it'll remind you of your childhood; something far away in time. Dramatic, yes, but true, lol. read more

I don't understand how this people call Mexican food . It was disgusting No taste at all. Where in Mexico did they learn how to cook ?! This is just disrespectful to Mexican food We ordered some "enchiladas " They were stale and cold as well as the taco dorado. On top of that expensive ! Don't waste your money ! read more

Lina is the sweetest ever, a lot of small businesses are struggling right now and the entitlement of the 1 star ratings bleeds through the phone. My sister and I come here all the time and the food is made quickly, and with love. You can tell that Lina puts love and soul into the food. Most Mexican places use cheap old meat and old products, you can taste the freshness in these meals. Please continue to support this location and if you have a bad experience, take it up with management. Don't be a Karen and go to yelp. Thank you Lina! Our grandmothers name was Linda, and she would love your food too also very clean location!! read more

The food was bland. Needed salt. The staff was so wonderful and nice. No air conditioner.

Lupita's is a tiny spot in a strip plaza where parking can be a challenge depending on the time of day you go, I haven't been here in probably 20 years the menu seems the same but perhaps different owners. It's NOT a place to go for Tacos the selection of Carne is limited, don't be fooled by all the Mexican decor the food is very Americanized. Typical Mexican Restaurant they start you off with Chips and Salsa, the default salsa they give is HORRIBLE Extreme Gabacho! you must ask for something hotter to get anything that has flavor https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=2zM8X8smH9GSdEKzk0P4Mg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg these were decent. Carne Asada ($12.95) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=1KOZ1jz1nAM8zU2AZodGgw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Lean meat, good flavor, slightly tough https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=aAjdmNGgb_WOEguktY4JnA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg but overall pretty good. Arroz y Frijoles - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=1-De0TALvyEduMyQzIqapA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg They were ok at best. 3.5-Stars Baja Burrito ($10.95) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=suZ6l-EiFYVxnkTbLsUMBg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Shrimp, Beans, Salsa and I asked (no rice) with Sour Cream on the side. The shrimp were a bit rubbery which means overcooked https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=hcaJ8lSyxzpmAgkKq5eaPA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg still a decent burrito. 3-Stars If you're looking for some great Mexican food this isn't the place, but it is some passable gabacho food, come with low expectations and leave satisfied. read more

From time to time I have I come here, pre-Covid the food was good and reasonably priced. During Covid they raised prices like everyone but the quality lowered. this morning I was craving Huevos Rancheros , the place looked closed, dead at 10am Sunday morning, I should of left but I placed the order. The eggs were over cooked, sauce lacked any flavor and rice n beans were bad!!! And they charged $14, no meat and $14. I won't ever come back, you have been warned. I like to get value for money I spend, you choose. read more

Visited today since 2019 and let me tell you. I've been missing out, the Baja burrito was amazing! The cashier had recommended it. She was so nice and welcoming! Coming back to bring my mother. read more

Considering all the positive reviews, we must've shown up on an off day. We had: *Carnitas burrito--just okay, nothing to brag about in a neighborhood full of good Mexican food *Caldo de rez--I asked them to hold the potatoes, and what was left was very little rez and a whole lot of broth. *Chips and salsa--how does a Mexican restaurant screw up salsa? Sin sabor, unfortunately. We had to ask for the hot salsa just to get some flavor. read more

I had NO expectations of this place, I literally went here because I tried to go to a neighboring restaurant and they were closed. I was too lazy to get back in my car, so I looked for what was walkable. Saw Lupita's and in I went. LOVED the chicken hard taco platter. Seriously the best taco I've had in LA. The refried beans looked industry-standard but they were really tasty too. Total little cheap hole-in-the-wall that happens to be delicioso! read more

We came here after chonitos magically didnt have our reservation... We called ahead of time and they were very nice over the phone. Its a tiny place but those are usually the best ones! We ordered our food and it came in a timely matter...everything was so good! My dad got the birria and it was exploding with flavor. My daughter ate her big carnitas burrito and finished it while my 7yr old ate 3 crunchy tacos. I had the carnitas plate and it was good and full of flavor. We had the Mexican cokes and ended dinner with flan. I passed on the flan becuase im not really a fan of it...but then i tried it...and i ordered my own . The music was good and the art on the walls were beautiful. Im glad we found this little place down the street! read more

This place is garbage. When someone is struggling to walk bc they need to use the restroom, you let them use the restroom. I hope this place goes out of business. Seriously almost peed on your floor. read more

Chicken burritos..has a few small bones in it. Parking can be horrendous especially at lunch hour. Don't bring a big group with you because this place is very small inside. Just don't sit on the chair with one small table. It sinks in and feels like you're going to collapse to the floor. Great service and nice place read more

Ordered on Doordash and everything was perfect. Had the Huevos Rancheros and a breakfast egg/potato/chorizo/bacon/rice/bean/cheese burrito for later. Everything was delicious!! I can't stand coffee from big restaurant chains, so when I do get a chance to try small restaurant coffee I do. Let me just say this may have been the best coffee ever, loved it. Much love to Lupita's, keep making good food! read more

I'm in love with Lupita's I've lived in the area for DECADES now and I don't know how I've never tried Lupita's. But now that I have I'm absolutely obsessed with it (and a little embarrassed that I've never been here before). The staff was so nice The food was delicioso I love supporting local businesses I ordered a sope combo (to go) and it came with a hefty portion of rice and beans. Normally I leave frijoles untouched (I'm not that into it) but I ate so much! It was amazing. I can't stop thinking about my sopitas I'm probably going to go back this weekend. read more

This is the worst mexican place i have ever had,ordered a asada burrito to go and got bean and rice and nothing else 17.00 bucks to the trash my only meal of the day and got jacked so pissed off!!! First time there and for sure never again! No stars for this place. read more
