Amazing customer service! I came here for their torta ahogada and it did not disappoint. It was spicy and full of flavor just how a real torta ahogada is supposed to be. Loved the ambiance in here and it wasn't even karaoke night. Definitely coming back for more! read more

1/5 Stars - Overpriced Food, Poor Customer Service, and Disappointing Experience! This was my first and definitely my last time visiting Lupitas Restaurant! First, let's talk about the prices. Over $18 for a small caldo de pollo and over $8 for a bean and cheese burrito? For those prices, I expected quality food and good customer service. Unfortunately, I got neither. I asked the cashier if I could have some spicy salsa, and her response was, "I already gave you salsa." Well, that wasn't my question! I asked for SPICY salsa, not whether you had already given me some. A little better customer service would go a long way. When I got home, I tried both the green and red salsa, and honestly, both tasted watered down. I'm a salesperson myself, and I understand the importance of quality and customer satisfaction. In my opinion, salsa is the heart of a Mexican restaurant, but this one broke my heart AND my pockets! Then came the bean and cheese burrito. I cut it open, and the beans were so watery that they spread all over the foil wrapper! I could barely enjoy it and only took a couple of bites. Definitely not what I expected for over $8. The wait was also ridiculous considering I was practically the only customer there, besides an older lady who was already walking out. On top of that, the dining room was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The customer service made the experience even worse. Instead of making customers feel welcome, the attitude made me feel like they were doing me a favor by serving me. I'm going back to my old spot, Taco Rico! At least I know where I'd rather spend my hard-earned money. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food made with heart, I personally wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience. Save your money! I wish I had checked the reviews before walking in. Lupitas, your prices are high, but unfortunately, the food quality and customer service didn't match. First visit, last visit. Never again! read more

The workers are really nice and friendly and the food is sooooooooo good. But the place is a bit small but really good service.

Ive never ordered carne asada fries and received fries covered in cheese with ground meat on top. I assumed it would be the regular ones with the avocado, beans, sour cream, & pico de gallo especially cause the lady asked me if I wanted the beans on it and I said yes and I asked for no tomatoe & she said ok. This was also $13 & change when I can go to Alberto's and get super fries for $15. Haven't been here in a long time and will continue to avoid this establishment. read more

I've been coming here since I was in middle school and LOVED the nachos. They're still good and the service has always been good. The place isn't big but it isn't small either and is always clean and neatly organized. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 star is because they've made the nacho to go boxes smaller and for the price you'd think they'd keep it the same but I am 100% getting less than I have before. I ordered the nachos with the intention of sharing and imagine my surprise when I saw the smaller box compared to the old one. read more

The best Chile Rellenos, EVER! I tried elsewhere but I always comeback here. Family owned and local.

I returned and had chorizo with eggs breakfast, and asked my chorizo and eggs smothered with the sauce they put on their wet burritos. It was good! I'm not sure what things cost bc I never pay when I go (I get paid for by family) but I saw a complaint regarding high pricing. I know regulars who have been going there for YEARS, including me. read more

I just moved to the area recently and stopped into Lupita's after a long day at work -- and honestly, this place felt like a warm welcome to the neighborhood. I ordered the carne asada wet burrito, and it was everything I needed: fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The carne asada was tender and juicy, and the sauce over the burrito was rich, warm, and comforting -- you could really taste the care that went into it. Every bite was satisfying, and the portion was generous without going overboard. But what really stood out just as much as the food was the service. The older Mexican lady at the counter was so kind and respectful. She greeted me warmly, took her time explaining the menu, and made me feel completely at home. It wasn't just good service -- it felt genuine. Places like this are rare. When the food is great and the people make you feel welcome, you know you've found something special. I'll definitely be back -- next time I'm eyeing the chilaquiles or shrimp a la diabla. If you're in Norwalk and want authentic, well-made Mexican food served with heart, Lupita's is 100% worth the stop. read more

Good food. My orders have been correct and very tasty most of the time. It's my go to for chorizo n eggs burritos- delish! However the last time I ordered was Sunday, March 6 and instead of chorizo n eggs, I was given chorizo n beans... not good since I specifically said chorizo n eggs and very little beans... in Spanish. My guess is they ran out or were low on eggs... I will call and let them know so that it dies not happen again. I would hate to stop going there. I always order to go... rush rush rush... read more

The menudo was just okay. It was not cooked enough to the hominy was still pretty solid instead of soft. The large is really small and not worth the amount of money charged. They also do serve breakfast regardless of what the owner says. read more

Lupita's Mexican Restaurant - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, California

Terrible , terrible , terrible ..... This place not only has no menu , but their supposed menu is a bunch of pictures above where u order that look like this pictures are from 1975 , they are all fade it out and you can't tell what is what on those pictures , the plate that I tough was a carne Asada plate , when I ask the lady she told me was chilaquiles , and what I tough I saw in another picture to be fish was chicken fajitas ... In another words good luck getting thru the order process . Then I ask for a wet burrito , I have to say was ok , but the wet sauce was the most acid taste sauce I ever tasted , was giving me heartburn in every bite ... Not a really enough sitting places , maybe 7 tables , so u better off looking for Mexican food somewhere else read more

No actual menu, their menu is a bunch of pictures on the wall without price on them. Paid $17.08 for 6 mini tacos. The meat looked like left over or scraps from bottom of pan. Gave this place a chance based on the reviews. NEVER again. read more

came to this restaurant after I was kicked out of a prior restaurant because I couldn't speak Spanish? this restaurant has decent food I come here often I've never had an issue with them and they have never had an issue with me speaking English which is strange that we have to say that nowadays in America. I would recommend coming here if you want some decent food it's way better than Jack-in-the-Box or other fast food chains. I wouldn't say it's better than Carl's Jr. but it's pretty damn close lol read more

There are just not too many good places around where I am living right now. So in a stroke of good luck I was able to find this review close by with an endorsement from my BFF Rachael W. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectation. When I entered this very small restaurant that is a hole in the wall in a very tiny plaza., there was a slight hesitation. I didn't quite know what to make of this place as the place seemed empty and have a confusing menu. As pointed out by Rachael, the menu is in pictures with no words or text to described the item. A personal note in that I thought the pictures did not make the food appetizing. I think a better lighting or at least printed in a non-glossy photo paper would have make the pictures better. Instead, it was grainy and blurry for the photos. Let me break down the food in a Clint Eastwood edition: The Good - Beef Soft Taco http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yqeAy_o2imh2_JX2xENnkg?select=5Eyd8c_ct1ZnSWUzojOapQ This is very delicious and a pleasant surprise for me. For me it was the best taco I could find locally. Much better than Rancho Grande or Taco San Pedro. If there are anything that I would recommend would be to order the beef soft taco. It only cost $0.99 for each taco. The Bad - Pork Burrito http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yqeAy_o2imh2_JX2xENnkg?select=feacJjlzZIi8yq8zoRazJw The pork is fine, but the rice and bean inside of the burrito was cold. It tasted very bland and with no real flavor in the burrito. You can add the chili sauce or any salsa condiments, it just didn't helped. It was too lifeless for me to continue as I had to discard that after only finishing half of it. The Ugly - Deep Fried Shrimp Combo http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/yqeAy_o2imh2_JX2xENnkg?select=fcMWMUFYh0NlN7ja0qGbWg This one was just a total bummer all the way around. I had a feeling the rice and bean were from the same batch. Cold...very cold. The fries and shrimp looked like it's sit out there all day long. The shrimp didn't taste fresh at all so I'm wondering if that was just sitting there when I ordered. This one would be thrown away immediately. It was disgusting to say the least as this was the worst I had to deal with. The good was the best portion, but the bad and ugly was just too much to bare as both of those dish had to be thrown away. If I had to throw two dishes away, it was just not worth any high scores. I know now to come here for the tacos. Anything else is up to you with precautions. read more

My hubby and mother-in-law introduced this place to me. Love it. Can't think of any complaints about it. It's great for those no-one-wants-to-cook nights. Our ordering ranges from the tacos (shrimp, fish, or carne asada), chile rellenos (love those! nice big chiles!), costillas con nopales (my m-i-l's favorite), the carne asada plate (enough to feed two if you tried), to the caldo de camaron (hubby's fave, especially when he's feeling under the weather). The prices are decent and when we call in our order it'll take about 10-15 minutes for everything to be prepared. Nice place, overall. read more

My first impression of the restaurant was that it was tiny but not too tiny like others I've been at before. It was clean and had Aztec like paintings/pots for decor. The menu was definitely something of a puzzle. Not only are all the photos in the wall a bit overwhelming but you can't quite make out what some of them are. None of them are titled but I did notice on a different wall that they have the numbers of the photos plus a title and price. So, you have to do a bit of matching up to see what you're going to be ordering. I would definitely recommend them to upgrade their menu display. As I mentioned, the place is tiny when compared to some bigger restaurants but there is still room for people to sit. It has 5 larger tables that seat 4 people each and 2 small "intimate" tables that seat 2 people each in the middle. Although, I can see how those two intimate tables can be a bit awkward. If there's more than 2 people in line ordering they'll be standing right over you or next to you as you eat. I ended up ordering a Carnitas Wet Burrito, my usual go to Mexican food. Ordered it with Guacamole inside (of course it's extra for that). They charged 50 cents to use your card to pay which I don't mind but thought it's worth mentioning. I got take out so couldn't be a good judge of the service, they were great taking my order at least. The prices overall seemed fair, my order was $9.47 and the portion is definitely on the larger side. Normally, I get an option of Green or Red sauce but this location looks like they have their one option. The sauce is like a soup they poured onto it with peppers, onions, tomato and I'm not sure what else. The burrito itself was good and had a little spicy kick. I don't do spicy food but it had just enough that it was tolerable for me. I would definitely come here again for convenience as it is close by but it is not in my top 3 wet burritos. read more

I have been going to Lupitas for over 15 years. The staff is like family and the food is absolutely amazing. I have never been disappointed by the outstanding customer service they have and how they are always willing to help you with any suggestion when you are struggling to figure out what is good because everything on their menu is awesome! The chef! Let's talk about the chef. He is so dedicated that I have never seen him take a day off. The chef is also the owner which shows how dedicated he is to taking care of his customers. He's so friendly and works his butt off so we can have the most amazing Mexican food ever. I love walking in there and seeing all the families and their children having a great time. This is definitely a family place that I have taken mine too. I also have to say whenever you call in an order it is always super accurate and always ready when you show up. I hope you're Lupitas experience is amazing as mine. I will never stop going there and would be heartbroken if they left me.. Hats off chef and kudos to the amazing staff for ALL their hard work Love y'all - Kelly read more

Came to this restaurant cause it's the closest Mexican restaurant to me. Restaurant is clean and they also have a salsa bar. I placed my order of beef stew and enchiladas. I noticed that one of the cooks was eating while working or eating where the food is cooked which is definitely against health procedures. They should have a break room. Also saw handling of payment and food without handwashing in between. Staff should definitely be re-trained on proper food handling. Might not come back here read more

I got a wet burrito here and it was so so good like extremely good ! Absolutely loved the food ! Definitely recommend this place almost didn't come because of the reviews but it deserves better reviews read more

This place is garbage and the Manager is extremely rude. I wouldn't go back here if my meal was free. Disrespectful and trash food.

This place is good.. No, great !! I've been ordering food from here since I was a teenager .. this is my Friday go to lunch spot.

Ok here it goes. I've heard about this place for over a year now, and finally had the chance to experience it for myself. It was everything that I've heard & expected!!the tacos were exceptional! The plates were big & full. Environment was small, but clean. Small establishment which caters to its Community. Got to love it and the great food! P.S. It seems as though there's really small staff there, but the waitress serves was excellent!!! Not to mention how very pretty she is. Anyhow, go check it out folks. Good stuff!!! read more
