First time eating at Lupe's. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, excellent food. Try the habenero and Verde salsa.
Nice people and a good price
Wow!! The amount of care and service they provide even during a rush is astounding! The cooks were working together to get meals out timely and the front counter crew were restocking, taking orders, and neatly plating the food. My partner and I watched in awe.
