    The new updates to the place opened up showing a more vibrate scenery before it was a little dark. The service is quick and the food was okay I had the fish needed more seasoning. I'm not a fan of menus without prices either. I would go again cause the tacos are delicious on a late night muchie grab.

    We know good food. Giving us 2 dirty glasses for water was not the way to start... Pre-made margaritas were awful... However our server went behind the bar and made me one from scratch which was decent. The presentation of the food was great I wish it lived up to the look... Luke Warm tacos are nothing nice. The steak was dried out .... I'm assuming because it had been sitting in a pot or back of griddle waiting to be ordered and warmed up.

    Came here on a Friday night about 8pm and was told there'd be about an hr wait. About 40 min later, I received a call when our table was ready. FYI, they also have outdoor seating. The restaurant is decent. Not too crowded and the tables are spaced comfortably. I immediately ordered a mango margarita. We were seated at 8:45pm. Waiting, waiting, waiting. The waiter came back to the table to take food orders, and I asked about my drink and he said they were making it. The margarita did not come to my table until 9:10. The margarita was nothing more than a mango drink, very sweet. There was no alcohol in it. None. It didn't taste like there was alcohol in it, and I didn't feel any effect of there being alcohol in it. I hadn't eaten since 10am that morning. Usually, on an empty stomach if I consume alcohol, there's an immediate buzz or some reaction. I didn't get a buzz. I didn't feel ANYTHING. It was also served with a paper straw. I hate those things. The drink was pretty, tho 🤷🏾‍♀️. The food was also slow to come out and it wasn't hot when they brought it to the table. I never complain at restaurants, so it was what it was. I ordered 1 steak taco and 2 pork. Beans and rice come with it. The tacos are on the smaller side. However, what they lack in size they make up for in flavor. They were seasoned to perfection. They were really good! The rice and beans were also very good. Again, the portions are smaller compared to other places I've been. After 2 spoons of beans, I was already halfway through them. There was live entertainment that sang and played the guitar around 9:30pm. I'd consider this a decent place to take a date but definitely not a place to go for drinks. If you're into virgin drinks, maybe...but if you're looking for a drink with a kick, this ain't the place. I'll probably go back before summer is over and give the drinks another try.

    La Lupita is one place I have never questioned returning to! From day one I knew it would be one of my new go-to places for pozole and more. Let’s start with the restaurant itself. They have indoor and al fresco dining. Walking inside brightens your day and makes you smile! The colorful atmosphere gives it that authentic Mexican restaurant feel but also that sweet vibe when out with friends and family. The staff- I’ve never had any bad experience at La Lupita. They have a male server who is the freaking best! I should know his name! 😂 All I know is that he’s from Texas. His service is the best! Very polite and helpful when it comes to questions and ordering. The food- No manches! The food is amazing! I’ve had the pozole Trio, the menudo, the enmoladas and more! Out of the three pozole options, I would say the pozole verde is my fave! Pozole comes with all sorts of toppings that give it that extra awesomeness! Aguas- I’ve had their agua de horchata y agua de Jamaica! They’re not so sweet like many places. My fave is La agua de Jamaica; so fresh! Last but not least, live music! Not crazy loud just perfect for enjoying your meal. 10/10!

    I had the Enfrijoladas for breakfast and they were delicious! My server Jorge was very kind and attentive. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

    We were lucky to find parking right in front. It is street parking here but it is free. Very nice atmosphere inside, authentic decorations. Service was ok. They were fast but our server was a little confused. I never got the full drink menu to choose from so I got a drink I normally wouldn't get. I did ask for it, but our server never told us there is one. Food runners were on top of their game though. That being said, drinks and food were absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend coming here. They were not busy so if you have a large appetite, this is a great place.

    Food and drinks were great. Service was a little slow and the server didn't check on us. Overall we had a good time because we made it that way.

    The best Mexican food we've had in a very long time. Everybody's food was fire 🔥 and so good. I'm glad that we went off the recommendation of TikTok. My friend enjoyed her hibiscus tea and pinto beans. Yall my French fries were crispy, and hot. It was a delicious meal enjoyed by all and the prices were right too. We'll definitely be back

    This place has the best pozole !!! They bring u a big bowl of pozole green, red or white... i honestly preffer the white one because i add all the toppings to it anyways to which they u bring out a big platter filled with avocado,onions,cabbage,chicharrones,flautas,and chile to add to your bowl . Also dont forget to order your micheladas they are delicious and this is the first place ive ever seen them make different flavor miches. 10/10

    Worst torta bread ever. The bread is hard and old. Lost my appetite when I unwrapped the torta. The bread is so hard that feels like toasted bread. Torta is not even cut in half like every other place does. Milanese is all greasy and tastes old too.

    We keep going back because they have a patio, they have drinks, & most of the dishes are usually good. However, service can be slow even though their prices have gone up. Another con is that they seem to be pretty strict with their breakfast/lunch hours.

    The drinks and entrees were delicious 5/5 for both. The ceviche was very bland, abit flavorless 2/5. The bathrooms need some maintenance and cleaning. Vibe is good and comfortable. Our server wasn’t the best but not the worst. Would come again for the drinks and food!

    Went to eat dinner with coworker she ordered poszole, the first plate was cold and the second plate was warm the meat smelled like it was from a week ago, the three flautas that comes with it were terrible, I ordered a quesabirria I have never seen something so ugly in my life I actually didn't know what it was but I tried it and it was the worst mistake I ever did they should have called it (grasabirria) the only thing that was good was the beer maybe other people must think it's a good place to go and eat but I'm done with this place here's some pictures oh yes for the money I paid $60 wasn't worth it

    Pretty good. You can tell they care about quality here. Margaritas was strong and on on sale. Huge portions.
