For a Mexican spot I thought it was quite annoying and egregious that they didn't have guacamole. I could understand the sour cream but not the guac. Like really? read more

Lupitas is a small family owned Mexican Restaurant tucked back in Woodburn. We've seen this place hundreds of times going through Woodburn, coming from Silverton. When using the Yelp app, it suggested another spot down the road, but my wife wasn't feeling the look of the other place. She wasn't really feeling this place when she walked in either. We were moments from splitting, and probably would have if the couple in front of us didn't do the same. When you come here, you order at the counter, seat yourself, and then wait for your food to be delivered. I have to be brutally honest and say, the place needs a major remodel. There were booths on the opposite side of this place that were piled high with; extension cords, boxes, papers, TV's, Vaccuums...I think I seen an iguana in there too. It's a real uncomfortable feeling to eat somewhere and seeing junk piled 5'-6' in the air. How sanitary is my food again? While waiting for our food, they brought out some chips and salsa. There were a few dishes that had salsas in them, but we wouldn't touch it since it looked like it had been in the same jar ever since Cortez plundered for gold. The main bowl loaded with Salsa "appeared" to be sanitary....err....more sanitary. Ok folks...at this point I was banking on a few Imodium AD the next day, and was throwing caution in the wind. Shame on me. The salsa had a bite, but it was really good to be fair. The chips were VERY thick and kinda ruined the "chips and salsa" experience. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito. The burrito was roughly $6 and it came with nothing. Bummer. The burrito was muy authentico. It's exactly what you would get south of the border, main difference is it had prices north of the border. Where as the burrito was good, it really could've used more steak, it was sad how little they put in there. The wife went with Steak Chalupas which were huge and came with beans and rice. DAMNIT! I wanted that... Before we left, we spotted a huge "Princess" themed Pinata. Not only were we about to host a "Princess Birthday Party" for our little princess, but she REEEEALLY wanted a Pinata. It was only $12, which was a steal compared to $25 for a paper donkey at Wal-mart. The Pinata was awesome in the sense that it wore out every kid. None of the kids could break through the box. After my wife gave it a GOOD SOLID whack, the kids were able to work on the hole and eventually busted all the candy loose. Pinata? 5 Stars Food? 2 Stars Cleanliness?0 Stars Service? 3 stars Meh. I've experinced better. read more

I used them to cater an 800 person outdoor event. He was supposed to be on site at 11:00. At 11:30 we called and were told that they were on the way. We called multiple times and kept being told "they just left". We were at a park only five minutes away. They finally showed up at 2:30, totally unprepared to handle the volume, despite the fact that they had been told ahead of time how many people to expect. People had to wait in line for over an hour to be fed. The event was a disaster. read more

We went here for breakfast on the recommendation of friends and by the looks of the place, we didn't expect much. When our food arrived, we were treated to the most amazing chilaquiles, huevos a la mexicana and handmade tortillas. A simple meal that combined the best flavors, textures and authentic technique that I have tasted since I lived in Mexico. Now we just need more reasons to get down to Woodburn for more. Fabulous. read more

Roomy booths and loved the spicy green avocado sauce. The carne asada burrito was above average.

Wandered in here as a result of the Yelp reviews... The service is friendly, if a little slow. The decor isn't anything to write home about, but its nice to see a family restaurant like this. And the food is DELICIOUS and fresh (they made our salsa before bringing over chips). read more

Great BRC burrito. Fast service at the city fair. Thanks! I will have to check out their location in Woodburn next time I'm in town.

My family has always enjoyed the Lupita's food cart at the Woodburn Dragstrip, so we were excited to try their brick and mortar. Key message - I was very disappointed. Very! My enchilada was cold in the middle and the tamales were just small corn tortillas folded in half and then burned. Very greasy... My son ordered the chicken strips (he's 8) and the meat smelled and looked like it had gone bad and was then put in an old fryer with old oil. My husband's tacos had no salsa and were greasy. I ordered a pina colada and it was all syrup... Undrinkable. The eating area is dilapidated and dirty. What's troubling for me is that their food cart has been so very delicious! If I was rating the food cart, it would be 4.5 stars!! But the restaurant.... shudder... Don't go here unless you want a stomach ache. You're better off going down the street to Luis' or some other place. read more

We usually go to the Luis's, but the line was even longer than normal. When we got to Lupita's it was empty so we were suspicious. We ordered the taco platter for two and it was excellent ! In fact everything was excellent, but especially the carnitas. read more

This was the only place open on New Year's day when we were passing through Woodburn looking for some good Mexican food. We were glad they were open! The women working there were extremely sweet and the service excellent.I had a chile relleno plate and my friend had some tacos. Everything was fine, though not exceptional. A great find on a cold New Year's day! read more

I've been to their food trucks not only at the Woodburn dragstrip but I believe the one in Oaks park too, I absolutely love there food and how friendly they always are. going into the restaurant I agree it needs some work but it looks like they are currently working on it. it's not going to stop me from coming back they have the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had and hope they get their remodeling/cleaning taken care of soon. otherwise that I would recommend anyone and everyone to try them. One of my absolute favorites. read more

The place was empty but the staff was very friendly. The food was great and tasted very fresh. Curly fries were soggy but that's not their specialty so no biggie. We'll be back! read more

This place is wonderful, and ran by great people. They've been serving at the Rose Festival in Portland, and I've only been eating their food. They have a delicious $6 burrito that's well worth it because they load it up, let you load up on veggies and then they professionally wrap it up for you. Definitely try this place if you want some quality Mexican food! read more
