    a plate of food

    Los mejores tamales !!! Highly recommend Lupitas Tamales! Extremely flavorful, even ratio of masa and meat, and huge fan of the masa being moist!! Tamales de pollo en salsa verde were a HIT!!! Owner was extremely accommodating and service was phenomenal !

    This is how I reheat my tamales.  In a cast iron pan or a hot plate.  JL way.

    Family owned and ran private party. We decided Tamales as a last minute New Years Eve treat! I found them here on yelp and they are actually pretty good. I was impressed with how light and fluffy the Masa was. There is definitely a secret to making good tamales. The consistency of the masa, the way they flavor it, how much they use and how they wrap it. Lupita's has it all dialed in, even down to the shape and size of each one. I went a little overboard with my order, with 4 dozen . One green pork, one red chicken, one chili cheese and a mix of sweet one. My favorite hands down the Green Pork was number one. The flavor was very traditional without the greasy masa. The pork was tender and savory without being salty. Second the red chicken, the chicken fell apart in your mouth without being over cooked and the masa had a hint of red chili, not spicy just right. Third the strawberry. Yes strawberry. It's just a flavored masa. But this was really good. Lastly the chili cheese. The chili cheese is usually my favorite but.... I like my chili and cheese tamal to be picante!!! Spicy these were not. This is definitely a place to pick up some good authentic tamales and the price is right. Enjoy I will order again!!

    Tamales are a nice size he is not stingy with the meat

    See all

    These tamales taste like home. So good mass has good flavor. They do sell it out of their van is not a restaurant but super delicious.

    Excellent tamales, with a good mix of masa and filling, and the strawberry tamales are moist and plump, definitely my favorite.
