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. Despite a few people being a bit impatient (I mean you can look at their packed screens) they handled it phenomenally. Food was amazing, perfect amount of toppings on the tacos, tortillas were at a great temp, really good...read full review

Lupe's Mexican Eatery offers friendly service and tasty food, making it a popular choice for Mexican cuisine in Lake Forest. The menu features favorites like the California Burrito, which is very filling and satisfying, along with El pastor, cooked to perfection. The Guacamole salsa at the bar is made fresh daily and offers a variety of spice levels, appealing to different tastes. The Stoner fries are a highlight, with large portions that can feed two to three people. Vegetarian options include crispy potato tacos. Customers can enjoy a self-serve salsa station, a soda fountain, agua Frescas like horchata, and bottled Mexican sodas. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, including a small patio, providing a casual atmosphere. The place is clean, staff are friendly, and parking is ample. The range is unmatched, offering the widest menu selection in the region, but the real magic lives in the Signature Items and Fries sections of their Menu. The Surf & Turf Burrito, Chicken Taco, and Carnitas Taco were bright and classic, and both Steak Fries and Carnitas Fries were indulgent, loaded, and unforgettable. The Oceanside taco with octopus and shrimp is excellent and creative, along with a cilantro cream sauce that is amazing. The amount of care and service they provide even during a rush is astounding! The cooks work together to get meals out timely, and the front counter crew restocks and neatly plates the food. Food was amazing with a perfect amount of toppings on the tacos, and tortillas were at a great temp, really good guacamole with chips, and at a really great price. Burritos are often packaged nicely in a box, making them easy to carry into offices and job sites. Overall, Lupe's remains highly recommended for its tasty salsas, large portions, and consistent quality, making it a favorite spot for many in the area.
