What customers say?

“ I can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is amazing. Do not come here for “ordinary Mexican food.” Try something you’ve never heard of before off the menu and I guarantee you will be blown away! The ribs were great covered in a spicy green sauce with tangy cactus strips. Warm corn tortillas on the side. Yum! I also recommend the Taco Birria, and anything with mole sauce. ”

“ Authentic Mexican food is hard to find. Lupita's did not disappoint. The wife and I had the tacos de asada and were highly impressed with fresh homemade tortillas, succulent, well seasoned steak, and fresh onion and cilantro. Topped off with some lemon and queso Blanco, they really hit the spot. ”
