We stopped for lunch, it wasn't busy or crowded, and there's plenty of seating. Our waiter let us know that on Fridays and Saturdays, they have a lively evening with a band if we were interested in that. He also mentioned the margaritas were good. Casa Vieja is a Colombian cuisine restaurant. I'm not too familiar with the dishes, so I opted for the mini Bandera Paisa, which is a traditional dish consisting of pork skin, sausage, sweet plantain, fried egg, thin steak, corn cake, red beans, white rice, and avocado. Not sure how this was the mini dish, but everything was so good. The food was well seasoned and not overly greasy or heavy. My request for spice was delivered with 2 salsas and grilled serranos. My beverage of choice was a mango juice, very refreshing, and the natural sweetness was complementary to my savory dish. I wish I had room for dessert, but this just gives me more of an incentive to return. Happy with the entire experience, if you haven't been, stop by!

We love bringing the dogs, letting them enjoy some time outside, and then sitting out on the deck with empanadas. The empanadas are always so good--hot, flavorful, and perfect for a casual bite.

Kinda odd, but you order on the back side where there's a large deck with chairs and fans. Lots of fans. We placed our order and sat inside, they only have 3 tables I think. Server brought us our drinks pretty quick. It took about 20 mins to get our food, but server said each empanada is hand made and they can only cook 6 at a time. Ok. No worries. When they arrive, they were hot and well worth the wait. Both were very flavorful. The owner's daughter, who was doing the cooking, stopped by and asked how things were. Told her great and I'd never had Puerto Rican empanadas, just Argentinian. She said AR empanadas are baked vs PR that are deep fried. And the fillings are somewhat different. Appreciated the info. Also had some fruity slushi that was a bit of a butt kicker. These are really good. If you've never had one, you gotta try them.

I have no idea where I first heard about this place, but I'm so glad I found it…read more Right after we ordered, the server brought over what looked like simple grilled pieces of bread. I was trying to save room for the main course, but there was something so delicious about those unassuming little bites. They were warm, slightly crisp, and completely addictive. We came specifically for the lunch specials, and they did not disappoint. I had my eye on the Piccadilly, a flavorful mix of ground meat with spices, potatoes, and what I believe were raisins and olives. It comes with white rice and black beans, but you can have them mixed together, which is absolutely the way to go. The combination of savory and slightly sweet flavors was fantastic. My only small wish is that it came with a few more sweet plantains on the side. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich, which comes with a side. We chose fries and iced tea, and they generously brought us BOTH large iced teas. The sandwich itself was huge, easily big enough to take half home. It was perfectly grilled, warm, and melty. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the bread a bit smaller while keeping all that delicious filling. This place is also a great value. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out.

According to Sarah, this one won a Dallas award for best Cuban. - See photo. I have had more than a few Cuban sandwiches in my life, and this one is absolutely top tier. I found the spot on Yelp and we headed over right after a trip to the DMV. We definitely deserved a treat after that. We ordered two sandwiches to split, the shredded beef and the original Cuban. They offer several variations of Cubans..., including one with mortadella that I am already planning to try next time. I will admit, in the review photos the sandwiches might not look pressed or buttered enough. Trust the process. The bread was perfection. I am very particular about grilled sandwiches being truly grilled and fully heated through, and these ladies know exactly what they are doing. The original Cuban was perfectly balanced and a rock solid classic. The shredded beef was - (Meat prep courtesy of Sarah) a delightful surprise, slightly sweet and savory and incredibly flavorful and texture. Just really, really good. We also got a bag of plantain chips, and I respect that those are the only chips they offer. No generic bagged Lays here. Plantain chips or nothin' - I like it!!! There is also a display case full of beautiful baked treats made by Rita. After sandwiches at that level, there was no way we were leaving without dessert. We took three to go: a meringue filled with dulce de leche, which was a total sleeper hit, a guava and cheese pastry, and a dulce Napoleon. Every bite felt special. The inside is authentic and charming, though the tables are a bit tight. I cannot wait to go back.

Love the cartoon of Doña Lola. It's very adorable. I give this place a 10 out of 10 this is because I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my experience here I even brought some home to the family go here you wont regret it. I adore the way it feels like El Salvador and is very home-like restaurant feel. THERE IS A 15% SERVICE FEE for dining in. So please keep that in mind. Also at some points there is a woman who is a little sassy that works there.

Service was kind of awkward bc I didn't know what to do, they thought I was delivery person and not a walk in customer. However, I've been to them at their old location this was my first visit at their new location. It's really nice and clean. The pupusas were ok I just ordered the cheese and beans. I had plenty leftover so maybe just order one or two max. I would come back again when I'm in the mood for pupusa only as I didn't see that they offered any other foods. It's a small business so I always love supporting small businesses! If you haven't been here give it a try.

I hadn't been to Los Lupes in over 15 years. I was running late getting off work, had a craving for…read moreMexican food, and decided to stop in for a quick dinner. The place has been around for what seems like 30-plus years, so I figured they must be doing something right. Right? Well, I was disappointed. First, the chips tasted like they'd come out a bag that had been sitting open, on a counter, for three days. And the salsa was bland and lacking flavor. For dinner, I ordered three street tacos. They were mediocre at best. My server forgot to bring the red and green sauces with the onions, cilantro, and lime. I had to remind them it was supposed to be included with the meal. To be fair, the food did come out quickly and was served hot, so I have no complaints there. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself could use some serious TLC. The ceiling tiles directly above my table looked like they were about to fall on top of me. That's not exactly the kind of excitement I'm looking for with dinner! Overall, it was a cheap meal, and I guess you get what you pay for. But with so many better Mexican restaurants within a half-mile radius, I'm honestly surprised Los Lupes has managed to stick around this long. This visit left me with little reason to return.
