    Great atmosphere! We got seated fairly quickly. Lizzie was really helpful and pleasant. The good was really good as was the salsa! Mahi tacos, chicken fajita nachos, enchiladas Verde and shrimp brochette. I'll be back to try the margaritas and some of the other dishes. πŸ‘

    Amazing. Wilson was our food technician and his guidance was immaculate. Food was great- fajitas awesome, drinks wonderful. But what sealed the deal was the beauty of the patrons! I mean come on, look at this handsome beast!

    Great selection of food. It was my first time there and the manager came out, gave us a sample of food, checked on us. It was great! I will be back!

    We waited about 20 minutes to be seated, even on a weekday around 6 pm. The atmosphere was great. I had combo fajitas which were beef, chicken, rib, and sausage. All types were great, but the beef one is best to my taste πŸ‘ I will come back again when I crave tex-mex!

    I was super stoked to learn that the fajita meats are gluten free at this restaurant. It's surprising to me the number of places I go to that have gluten in their marinated meats. The waiter recommended the filet fajitas and boy did that ruin me. It was sooo tasty and just melted in our mouths. I don't know if I'll be satisfied with regular beef fajitas ever again. Also loved the non stop chips and salsa!

    Loved our dinner experience and the nice ambiance at Lupe Tortilla. Top shelf margaritas and Mexican beer on tap were superb! The red & green enchiladas and chicken stuffed poblano entrees were delicious. Tres leches cake hit the sweet spot and ended the evening perfectly!!

    Everything thing from the moment you drive up has such a fun vibe. Our waiter was great, he was very attentive, the beef fajitas were amazing. I love the way they are seasoned and they were so tender. Definitely recommend.

    40-minute wait for dinner, and we really did have to wait 40 minutes... food was fast, fresh and delicious. I will likely eat here at least two more times during my 2-week visit. Table hot sauce is fantastic...I could nearly drink the stuff!

    Cute place with lots of decor. Salsa is spicy and may be roasted and smoked and comes with great chips and a bowl of spicy pinto beans. Because it was our first time, they brought a sampling of fajita street tacos. Very good. So we ordered the lunch chicken fajitas, the beef fajitas and tortillas soup and salad. First,the soup and salad were very tasty and large. Now, the chicken fajitas was wonderful, and the beef was tender and full of flavor. The only dislike for me was that there was a small amount of onions on the fajitas. I like vegetables with my meat. But not a deal breaker. Can't wait to eat there again.

    Not my first visit so I'm always anticipating a good meal. I had the trifecta of fajitas and the beef was so tender and the shrimp were very large and grilled to perfection with the seafood butter to top it off. I love the beans and the salsa with chips served as soon as you're seated. Our waiter was great and attentive. Management came by to check on us as well and always great portions of food.

    I was iron deficient so we decided to visit Lupe Tortilla. We have been here a few times already and this place is definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. Compared with other Mexican restaurants, their prices are a little higher, but the food is really fresh and they use high-quality meat for all dishes. We had Beef Fajitas and Steak Lupe. I really liked the Steak Lupe, the flavor was awesome and it had burned cheese on it! It is a fun and friendly place to visit, great for a date or the family gathering. The only down part is that they are busy… that tells you something, right? :) We suggest you go early so you can get a table easily.

    Would definitely recommend the original margarita on the rocks. Nice balanced, traditional margarita flavor. I would definitely recommend the queso flamiado for the cheeseheads; personally I would preferred it be served with pico de gallo and corn, instead of flour tortillas (even though the flour tortillas also had really great flavor). The ribs were slightly overcooked but still tender; I ordered the bbq sauce and chives on the side and I wasn't sure the about the bbq sauce flavor but it was actually bot bad and I would order the ribs again dressed in their sauce as they're intended. I WOULDN'T order the churros again. They were fried to perfection but, unfortunately, I expected a generous coating of granulated sugar and cinnamon but they were coated with powdered sugar and that was a real disappointment. The dipping sauces were a disappoinment as well; I was expecting an authentic side of cajeta but with the sides of overly sweet chocolate and overly caramel, they would have been better off brining nutella if they weren't going to serve with cajeta. I would definitely visit again as the A+ service from Octavio was part of what made the visit great; he was polite, professional, friendly, prompt and attentive.

    Came to the restaurant for a work happy hour. They were able to seat our party of around 15 people outside. They had an big industrialized fan that kept all of us cool from the Texas heat. Our server Jess was incredible at keeping track of people’s food orders for such a big party. We ordered the beef fajita nachos, which I shared with someone else. Portions no matter if they are appetizers or entrees are pretty big in size. The enchiladas were pretty tasty but fills you up pretty fast. Good place to hold a happy hour.

    Everything we had here was excellent! Salsa had a good spice level, just enough heat to taste but not too much for us. Bean dip was one of the best I’ve had. We had an assortment of meat for our fajitas and all of it was great. Servers were friendly and working hard, we were impressed with the service especially considering the shortage of workers right now!

    Before arriving at the restaurant, be sure to get on the waitlist to avoid delays in getting seated. We came on a busy Saturday evening and thankfully were seated quickly thanks to the waitlist. By the way, their salsa is to die for. Pretty spicy, but worth the heat!!! We ordered the ribs, fajitas (trio of steak, chicken, shrimp), Barbacoa tacos, and crispy beef tacos. Service is friendly and efficient. We were so impressed with how fast everything was. I wish we were locals so that we could come back again!

    This was an amazing spot for brunch. I have been to Austin many times and we randomly came here as a meeting place and I was so impressed. Sweet and savory options, and the portions are hearty, you will for sure get full. I would definitely go back. Great service and overall 5 stars.

    So I've dined here a fair amount both in Austin and San Antonio. About two years ago I started eating the combo steak/chicken quesadilla and haven't tried anything else since then. They are killer!! My wife loves their house margaritas and the enchiladas. I'd definitely recommend if you are ever in Austin or San Antonio

    This was our first time here and man I do have to state that everything we had was super fresh and delicious. We had a chance to sample the steak fajitas with lime sauce πŸ˜‹ If I were to suggest only one thing those would be it! Compliments to the chief! We did order the chicken fajitas for the table and queso.. we all had an adult beverage which I had the berry and my finance had sunrise en la playa. We definitely will be returning!
