The chicken tacos I feasted on were by far the most tangy, tasty, authentic Mexican duo I could hope for. We also tried the pork tacos which were excellent as well. The conversation in the fast moving line was welcoming and lively. The tacos were well wrapped, stayed nice and warm to eat at home. A causal Food Truck experience that will definitely be repeated soon. #YelpsGreatTacoTakeout

To be honest, the place definitely needs some updating--the chairs and tables are all in pretty rough shape, and overall it has more of a dive feel. That said, the food more than makes up for it. The Mexican cuisine here is incredibly authentic, and everything we've tried--tacos, nachos, birria, and more-has been consistently delicious. It's the kind of spot where you overlook the atmosphere because the flavors are just that good. Another huge plus is how affordable it is. I honestly can't think of another Mexican restaurant in the area that can beat their prices for the quality and portion sizes you get. Just a heads-up: all of the seating is outdoors, though there is a covered area for shade. It's also pet-friendly, which makes it a convenient place to stop for a bite if you're out and about with your furry friend.

My fiancé and I checked out Las Lupitas for lunch and we were a bit turned off...the food was…read morealright, but the place was crammed, and our waitress was kinda rude. I typically don't find issue with eating in smaller places but this hole in the wall was packed. You will also need to know some Spanish to get by. At the end our waitress was super short with us and just wanted us to get out. The empanadas had more of a sweet dough, and the chicken in the quesadilla was minced. I did enjoy the huerata but it was a little too spicy for me.

Chunks of fresh meat inside, not the ground up stuff in most tamales. Just really good, fresh food, served with a smile in a family restaurant. You have got to try this place. J.Ja

If you're sitting at a table, you'll need to order at the bar, and they'll bring the food out to you.

A great one starts with good tequila (100% blue agave), fresh-squeezed lime juice, and just enough orange liqueur to round things out. The result should be bright and citrusy with a subtle sweetness, not syrupy, and a finish that lets the tequila shine. Served over ice or straight up, with a lightly salted rim, it's refreshing and dangerously easy to drink. What really elevates a top-tier margarita is restraint and freshness. No neon-green color, no heavy sour mix--just sharp lime, smooth tequila, and a clean snap on the finish.

I used to make it a point to stop here every time I'm in town for work--but after this experience,…read moreI won't be coming back. Last night I placed a large order: burrito de birria, two tamales, pozole, large bag of chips , guacamole, drinks . After driving 30 minutes back to my hotel, I opened the bag to find the tamales were completely missing. Then I tried the pozole, and it was so salty it was absolutely inedible. On top of that, they didn't include a single condiment--just a bland, overly salty soup. I tried calling for 30 minutes straight--no answer. Left a voicemail--no call back. Not that night, not the next morning. Completely ignored. The next day, I went in person to give them a chance to make it right. I had my order number and explained everything clearly. Instead of even attempting to help, they refused to do anything without a physical receipt. No effort to look up the order, no accountability, no customer care. Just excuses. Expecting someone to drive 30 minutes back with uneaten food just to prove a mistake is ridiculous. I ended up having to go to Wendy's just to eat dinner after spending money here--that alone says everything. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is what matters. This place clearly doesn't care once they have your money. This wasn't my first issue here, but it will definitely be my last. Antes hacía un punto de parar aquí cada vez que estaba en la ciudad por trabajo--pero después de esta experiencia, no vuelvo. Anoche hice un pedido grande: burrito de birria,dos tamales, pozole, bolsa de chips guacamole y bebidas. Después de manejar 30 minutos de regreso a mi hotel, abrí la bolsa y me di cuenta de que los tamales no estaban. Luego probé el pozole y estaba tan salado que era completamente incomible. Para colmo, no incluyeron ni un solo complemento--solo la sopa, sin nada más. Intenté llamar durante 30 minutos seguidos--nadie contestó. Dejé un buzón de voz--nadie me regresó la llamada. Ni esa noche, ni a la mañana siguiente. Totalmente ignorado. Al día siguiente fui en persona para darles la oportunidad de arreglar la situación. Tenía mi número de orden y expliqué todo claramente. En lugar de ayudar, se negaron a hacer algo porque no tenía el recibo físico. Ni siquiera intentaron buscar la orden, cero responsabilidad, cero atención al cliente. Puras excusas. Esperar que alguien maneje 30 minutos de regreso con comida que ni siquiera se puede comer es ridículo. Terminé teniendo que ir a Wendy's solo para poder cenar después de haber gastado dinero aquí--eso lo dice todo. Los errores pasan, pero la forma en que un negocio responde es lo que realmente importa. Aquí claramente no les importa el cliente una vez que ya pagaste. No es la primera vez que tengo un problema aquí, pero definitivamente será la última.

We aren't normally in that neck of the…read morewoods and while driving there, I noticed a small bright yellow building and new immediately that we would definitely be stopping there on the way back for some good authentic Mexican! We shopped and shopped and worked up an appetite. We walked into the tiny little restaurant and I immediately went onto my yelp app. The menu is NOT in English and I had no idea what I wanted so I used pictures as some sort of a guideline lol. My husband ordered enchiladas and we agreed, per usual that we would split everything. I ordered huarache and then last minute we decided to do an order of the plantains, (only one not pictures) sorry y'all they were delicious!!! The only flaw I saw was the guy in back, guessing owner, pretty much ran the entire show, which is badass, however I wished he wore gloves!! And then I almost ate both foil and wax paper from scraping the plastic to the bottom, it was worth it. We love finding authentic little places like this, they started with a food struck and now have this little hole in the wall place that packs a powerful punch! Oh and their green hot sauce that came in the soufflé cup was amazing! If not for my son, I would have drenched my food in it! So good! We would definitely come back, but I'd research the menu a little more before coming, so I can figure out what I want beforehand.

It has an incredible bakery section, an ice cream and dessert area, and one very large eatery with two sections depending on what type of food you want. Everything in the eatery is authentically cooked and prepared with the freshest of ingredients. I couldn't resist ordering the fish tacos. They only sell in 3s; however, all the other tacos you can buy just one. My fish was grilled to perfection and well seasoned with a cilantro salsa, cheese, lettuce, fresh tomatoes and lime wedges. Yummy! It also came with a spicy crema, which is absolutely amazing. The heat held on with a slight burn at the end. The bakery section was filled with incredible pastries and cakes and sweet breads, donuts,Flans, churros... you name it, they've got it. They also have a full produce are with fresh fruit and vegetables and great prices. The butcher area was filled with a variety of meats for any style of cooking. Their spice aisle was amazing! So many things to choose from. I think we spent at least a couple of hours here just exploring the store, enjoying the food and loving the atmosphere with upbeat Latina/Hispanic music. Everything was clean, organized and well displayed. Service was amazing with friendly faces and smiles. It's my new favorite place to shop and enjoy a meal. Great place for families!

The usual taco suspects appear on the hand written board such as carne & pollo, as well as the non-typical tacos made from tounge, cheek and more.

Here you find classic quesadillas, large tortas so heaping with your choice of meat you may steer clear from your evening dinner. Juartes (misspelled?)

If you see the popo eatin' there, you know it's good. Did I mention how cheap it is? I got a Torta de Al Pastore, which is a huge Mexican sandwich, with lots of spicy pork on it, as well as lettuce, avocados, and some other things. All for only $4!
