Saw this place on Tic tok and said that they had the best cheese burritos, this place is over hyped overpriced and the service sucks..Going back to Al and Bea's

Update: I spent years going out of my way to pick up these delicious bean, cheese, and red burritos, and finally moved close enough to have it delivered again. My obsession is still going strong love em love em love em (Postmates changed to say this spot was too far for delivery soon after my last review)

tl;dr this East LA icon has mastered the no-frills bean-and-cheese burritos, which mostly live up to the hype In LA, tacos are always in vogue -- but sometimes you just need a solid burrito. Lupe's #2, an old-school stand in East LA, is among LA's most popular burrito-centric shops. The shack looks more like an old-school burger joint than a burrito destination, and Lupe's long menu does have a dedicated burger section. But those in the know usually opt for the iconic Bean & Cheese Burrito. This base option is the favorite order of the LA Times' Jonathan Gold, but you can upgrade it with chiles and meat. The whitewashed plaster shack is trimmed with a vibrant red-and-white awning, and the towering sign stands out along an otherwise drab and industrial block of E 3rd St. The storefront is mostly undecorated, apart from a few nods to LA sports teams and a portrait commemorating the late founder Adelina Portillo. Spanish language music rings from the kitchen. Lupe's has a dedicated parking lot, but to describe it as "tiny" would be generous -- while street parking is available a half-block up or down the street, many locals stop at the No Parking zone immediately outside. Deeper into the lot, a handful of scarlet rubber picnic tables and umbrellas are arranged underneath a sweeping canopy. The shack closes relatively early, so expect a steady stream of customers for early dinner. Lupe's is a counter-service-only affair: I placed my order on the parking lot side, then waited about 15 minutes for my number to be called from the street side. The burritos are moderately large, wrapped in a mostly forgettable flour tortilla. The Green Combo Burrito perfectly pairs shredded beef and tangy green chiles with molten refried beans and cheese. Meanwhile, the Chile Relleno Burrito has more structure, at the expense of the richly creamy beans and chiles. The accompanying salsa roja sports a subtle flavor and a lingering spice. Be sure to check in on Yelp for a free drink; I prefer the creamy Orange Bang over the mediocre Horchata Ole. The burritos run around $10, which felt a tad expensive for the portion size and quality. While I don't see myself as a regular, I'd pay Lupe's a revisit when I'm craving for their specific style of burrito.

An East LA Staple! IYKYK kinda spot. The Original Owner just created something so special that it's great to see it live on now that shes watching over it from up above. I usually just go with what I always hear people say "The Green Chile Burrito". But there are many great choices here. I'm sure it'll continue to thrive with the new apartments across the street. Ambiance is very chill with bench seating outdoors only. I believe it used to have barstools but not there anymore.

I ordered two burritos. It took 45 minutes to get my order. They passed me up several times even after I made them aware of the fact. It's good not great. Not worth the wait. Instagram made them famous.

Everything you could ever want in a breakfast burrito. Burrito was cheesy and crispy, with flavorful meat and beans. Could taste every ingredient in the burrito and not a single one was out of place

The California Burrito is so BOMB!!! We came here for the 1st time about 3 weeks ago & we've been coming once a week ever since. Sometimes the line can be long but it's not too bad & it's definitely worth the wait!

RED HOT!! Every time I go here I get the red hot bean and cheese and the guacamole fries and I have been going here for years! Sometimes I ask for the red chile on the side as I have been "burned" a few times and couldn't finish because the smoke was coming out of my...ears. Hurts so good!

Great little spot with delicious food. The service is fast, the sauces are outstanding, and the quality of the ingredients is noticeable. Great spot for a quick lunch!
