I knew that this place had gone down in quality and they had a problem with passing their cleanliness inspections in the past but learning they had new owners and they had cleaned up the place, I was willing to give this updated place a do over. The interior decor may have changed but my opinion of this place hasn't. The decor is tex-mex cute and colorful. The service was friendly but absolutely clueless. The food was reasonably priced for portion size but the quality was really low. We enjoyed the complimentary basket of fried flour tortilla chips and the salsa was basic but okay. The Carne Asada Nacho platter was disappointing in the ingredients. It was supposed to have guacamole on it but it was more of an avocado cream and very liquidy. The asada meat was seasoned well but it was chewy in a bad way. The chicken burrito was heavy but full of too much rice and it was lacking seasoning. The Tamale Platter was nice and freshly made. The rice and beans on the side was not housemade but from a can. I think the new owners are trying to cut too many corners and will not get repeat customers. There was just nothing special about anything at this place and even their only hot sauce that can be added for some heat to the meal is a watered down green tomatillo mild sauce or a red pepper mild sauce which both are served in a cold squirt bottle unless you pay almost $2 for a small roasted jalapeño. I will pass on a return visit and look for new authentic Mexican fare. read more

My bestie just moved to Lantana and it was nostalgic to stop by at Lupita's on a Sunday for lunch. We haven't been in a hot 6 years since they blew away our minds during a 1 month vegan challenge. The interior has gotten a lot nicer. The walls and seating are all creatively painted with vibrant murals and decor scattered throughout. I recall it being more shack-like in the past. This location has it's old time Florida charm. I love the updates. This was my first time exploring the meats and fish at Lupita's. I went with a carne asada/steak sope and a fish taco. My bestie went with a carne asada chimichanga, chicken taco, and a horchata. They started us out with homemade chips and salsa. The shell to the carne asada sope was crunchy and homemade, flavorfully topped with a medley of freshness -- pico de gallo, lettuce, salsa, and avocado. I tried a bit of my friend's horchata and that is absolutely delish. Lupita's is still legend of SoFlo Mexican spots to check out. Cheers! read more

OMG!!!! Six years passing this venue and I finally stopped in. Greeted by such a lovely young lady. I confessed that it was my first time and needed her help. Alas, the wet burrito with steak. What she didn't tell me was how large the meal is. And delicious! Took half home. Got in bed with pillow and blanket. The food coma helped my afternoon siesta. WOW!!! Home run for the money! read more

Wonderful lively restaurant just off Dixie in Lake Worth close to Publix. You order at the counter and they will bring your meal to you if you are eating in. The emu is extensive including breakfast as well as many types of tacos and other Mexican foods. I ordered two tacos and they brought me chips and salsa while I waited for my food. The tacos I ordered were delicious and were served with red and green sauce and onions a pepper and radish on the side. They brought the silverware in a cloth napkin which was a surprise from a place with counter service. Wonderful experience. read more

Absolutely delicious!! It's rare to find a good authentic Tex mex restaurant these days and I found this place after moving here! The micheladas are huge, spicy, and soooo good!

Lupitas has been my go to for tex mex for 20 years, until now. I don't know what changed, but the quality has taken a nose dive. The carne is chewy, the ground beef is flavorless, the sauces have changed and are terrible. I am very sad to say that I am going to have to find a new place for tex mex. read more

Since they got new administration the food and service got worse. The food and customer service was top notch when Eduardo was the owner. Too bad they sold the restaurant. read more

Look no further for your next go-to Mexican joint. Extensive menu to choose from and something for every meal of the day. Breakfast burritos will leave you full and satisfied for days and the taco salad is one of my favs! Service is friendly and food is quick + good which is all the mixings for a bomb little fast-food Mexican place. Don't let the outside deter you and give this place a try! read more

I've been going to lupitas for over seven years. I absolutely love their food and their hot sauce. For some reason today, September 24 the girl on the register hung up on me three times so I gave up trying to place an order over the phone and came in. She rang me up for the wrong item, told me that the kitchen hadn't started making it yet so she just told them to make my item instead. She never checked the food before giving it to me thankfully, I checked it and saw that the wrong item was given to me so I was able to have it corrected before leaving. It also seems like the hot sauce recipe was changed. It wasn't spicy at all! It seemed like I was just putting water on my food. I even had my husband try it who doesn't like spicy food and he agreed it had no spice to it whatsoever. I understand that it's gone through a change of management, but if you continue to have people like that, working at your restaurant, you're gonna lose a lot of business and please go back to the original hot sauce recipe this new one just ain't it. read more

The food is amazing and the environment is pretty fun and there is various types of food would recommend

I have been frequenting Lupitas since their grand opening at their older location (maybe 2005ish‍). The food has remained consistent this whole time. We love this place because it's the closest to Southern California Mexican food we have found in SoFla. Personally, I recommend getting their tacos "hard shell". Trust me. Their carnitas has great flavor as well, but you can't really go wrong with anything you order here. Much better than any chain restaurant you could go to. read more

Counter service is increasingly getting worse. Been coming here for years and in the last year it has sucked. The food has been good but lately it's been a miss. Add to that that it feels like you are sitting in a live action Grand Theft Auto. I've never seen it this bad. Homeless people wandering the parking lot, what looked like prostitution on the patio and drug dealers in front of the neighboring liquor store - I just started laughing like what the hell is going to happen next when a homeless guy came right up to the window where our booth was and dead eye stared at me for what seemed like an hour before wondering off. read more

I hate doing this to small businesses but I want to make others aware - to be mindful - since the person at the counter was not forthcoming. This review is on the counter service and unethical business practice. I gave it 3 stars because I didn't eat the food there. We placed our order and I thought it was higher than what the menu display showed. There are two hidden "fees" that they did not upfront tell me about, and only did when I questioned the total amount: 1. There is a credit card fee. What percent I do not know. There is no sign about a credit card fee. There are many small businesses charging the fee , I get it. Just be upfront about it with a simple note at the register, or the cashier needs to inform the customer. So either pay with cash or know they will charge you a fee to pay with a credit card. 2. They increased the prices in their system but this is not reflected on the big menu display up and behind the counter. I do not like this kind of business practices. I support small businesses when I can. Just be upfront. read more

We ate in and had tacos. Good deal for the combo but the tacos were pretty average IMO. I had the shrimp and fish and my bf had al pastor. Nothing like what we had in Mexico City. The fish and shrimp were both good but nothing special. Price wise we paid $35 for a combo, 2 beers, and my 2 tacos. read more

We haven't been here in a while and we usually enjoy ourselves. It was good to go back. We ordered to go this time. Location: facing east on dixie highway. You can't miss it, the signage is great. It is across from the publix. They have their own parking lot with plenty of parking. Heads up: the traffic is always hectic around there. Please be aware! Atmosphere: casual. There is plenty of space inside to eat and it's spaced really well Food: Awesome tacos! We had the shrimp and the chorizo. What I enjoy about this chorizo is that it's never over oily. It is nicely seasoned with just the right amount of burn. The shrimp was done really well and there was a good amount for the price we paid. My only complaint is that I wish they would have given us separate containers for each kind. Not a huge deal but, just a wish. We have had a quesadilla from here before and really enjoyed that. I would really love to try the tamales next time. The only issue I have ever had with their food was this past time with the guacamole. Guac is one of my favorite foods and I was really disappointed In this one. It was literally green mush with pepper..no other veggies mixed in and I am thinking it was avocado puree??? This is what brought it down a star for me. Customer service: It was and still is wonderful. They have always had our food ready within 10 minutes and they had it nicely packed when we went to go pick our to go order up. Overall , it's a great spot for your favorite Mexican dishes and we will try to get back sooner than later this time read more

I was actually trying to find another restaurant when we happened upon this place that looked inviting! We were pleasantly happy with stopping here instead, love the vibe of this place and very authentic food. Nothing fancy but good food. We had Guacamole to start off and it was very creamy in texture which was different but still good (needed a little salt). I had the Chorizo Tacos and a Spicy Pork Wet Burrito, both were excellent and I ate every single bite. Nothing amazing about this place but I kind of liked that about it, chill and an easy experience. One thing that was surprising to me, it was very expensive! I was not expecting to pay over $40 for a two person meal. As long as the food is top notch I do not mind paying but this to me was a little high. Just saying.... Overall it was a great meal and I would definitely go back! read more

Came here after the restaurant we intended to go to was closed and I have to say, I was not disappointed at all. The menu is very common for a Mexican restaurant, burritos, enchiladas, etc. I ordered a smothered burrito with pastor, which ended up being so big that it took up half the inside of an entree to-go clamshell container (see photo). I ended up finishing the rest as a midnight snack! The burrito itself was awesome, very flavorful and filling. I wish I could have tried their desserts, they looked great. I will be coming back next time I'm in the area! read more

Very authentic and fresh. I'm from the Southwest. Best I've had in this area. It's spicy though beware

I've been coming to Lupitas for years and feed my crew here once a week spending around $100 each time. That's almost $5000 a year. The food is always excellent, however the staff are the rudest people you will ever come across and I've had enough and probably won't come back here anymore. Today I went in there and ordered $100 of food. As usual the staff were rude, miserable, acting like I was putting them out by ordering food etc.. just what I've come to expect there. When I got back to the job site they had forgotten to put the taco salad I ordered in the bag. I called them up and told them about it and instead of apologizing, they hung up on me. I called them back again and they said they had to check the receipt to see if I had paid for it, which I had. Eventually after some arguing i informed them that I was coming back to get it. When I got there they gave me the salad. No apology, nothing but the same miserable, unhappy pissed off look I have come to expect every time I go in there. If you're the owner of the place and you are reading this, get rid of these staff, they are killing your business. read more

I hate to do this because this was my favorite Mexican restaurant in south Florida. My family has been coming here for five years. But the past three times we've come here have had horrible, rude service by the teenagers up front. My wife is Venezuelan and speaks Spanish and asked, in Spanish, for a ground beef taco for my son. They made a shredded beef taco. My wife politely requested they fix it and the two teenage girls said "no you didn't ask for it correctly and we're not going to replace it". My wife explained that she asked for ground beef and they looked right in her face and said "we are not changing it" Unbelievable. As I said I've been coming here for almost five years. We've loved the family atmosphere and the people that worked there. But the teenagers they've hired there now don't care. They stand around on their phones. They're rude when you ask them for service and they don't care when you offer helpful critique. As much as it pains me to say it I will not be coming back. read more

Rating solely based on food. Best taco spot in the area. We used to tear these tacos up! Burritos hit! Bang for your buck!

Honestly this isn't the type of joint I'd usually go to just because it looked a bit iffy on the outside but let me tell you... I had some darn good authentic carnitas tacos here! There's an amazing guacamole sauce that comes on top and really brought the taste of the corn tortilla all together. My friend works in the area so we decided to try this place out and she got a breakfast burrito (for dinner?!) and decided this'll be her go to place for breakfast burritos in lake worth. Overall, the tacos are pretty cheap (about $3), food tastes great, and it's pretty easy to find/park. The only draw back I'd say was that the food was served on disposable plates and plastic silverware - I almost wish I would've taken it to go to reduce the waste but that's just the environmentalist in me! Give it a try next time you're in the mood for Tex-mex! read more

Been coming here for years and consistently delicious. Try the wet burrito!! Especially with the shredded beef!

Lake Worth has a nice number of great taquerias, and Lupitas is no exception. This has become my go-to for tacos, burritos, tortas, and more. Located right across from Publix, Lupitas is this great no-frills, down-to-earth joint that serves awesome tacos. Personally, I am a big fan of their carnitas tacos with guac and their lengua, which is quite good as well. When you can get four tacos regularly for under $10, and they're delectable and delightful, you know this is going to be a go-to. I've ordered take out there as well as ate there. They have outdoor seating with chess board painted/engraved on for those that want to do checkers or chess while noshing away on some good eats. The interior is bright colors of red, greens, and yellow. Really polite and friendly staff that have always made sure you've gotten what you've wanted. Being 5 minutes away from Lupita doesn't hurt either. So if you're looking for great tacos and burritos that will change your life? Come to Lupita. read more

I walked in with low expectations, I decided to eat here on a whim, just driving by. I do that sometimes, I am new to the area and I drive around and check out the restaurants and have found some gems that way. The place looks like an old take out joint with tables, there is no wait staff and the furniture is old and worn. For atmosphere and ambience I would give it a high score of 2 and that only because it has tables at all. The menu is extensive and for my first visit I decided to stick to my regular go-to which is fajitas. Chicken and steak are a combo here so that's what I ordered. The food was ready in 10 minutes. The young lady who took my order was nice and friendly. My name was called and I picked up my tray with a styrofoam plate and plastic utensils. So, you must be thinking, WHY did I give this place 5 stars, so far it doesn't sound like a 5* kinda place. It's not. The food was delicious. I was given two containers of sauce when I picked up my meal. Green mild sauce and red hot sauce and the red sauce was the hands-down winner, the bonus to a great meal. The size of my portion was very generous and the quality of the ingredients were excellent. The chicken and steak were cooked perfectly and the flavor was sensational. The rice and beans were just that, nothing special. The dollop of Guacamole was bland and pasteurized tasting, not like I've experienced home made Guacamole that I covet. I had a beer with dinner and it was priced reasonably and was nice and cold. But I have to make it clear, it was the flavor that shines through, the authenticity of the sauces and the reasonable prices, the quick service and the friendly staff that add to the experience. If you want a fine dining experience, don't come here. If you want hot, tasty, high quality food in generous servings the. This might become your fav place for those special cravings. read more
