Hidden off the road, next to a liquor store. Some tables inside and a few picnic style tables outside. Burritos are BIG and tasty. The salsa bar has a great selection of mild, chunky and hot salsa. And don't forget the carrots, they are spiced perfectly and not overly hot. Service is decent and the food is made fresh to order. Come hungry.

Home made salsa is incredible! service and food are both top shelf!!! A+++++ Disappointed that I was too late and they were out of tamales already but the Alambres was a great 2nd choice! Will be back!

Lots of choices in Poway for Mexican food for sure but this maybe the best. I had the Two taco plate with rice and beans. The taco was crunchy and the meat tender! Just the way us gringos like it :). The rolled tacos also fresh and crunchy with lots of meat inside. Their salsa bar has all fresh green , red and hot sauces. The marinated carrots were fantastic. We will be back soon!

We used to love coming here, but the last few times have been very disappointing! The person cooking is still the same, so I don't know why the quality has gone down. The carne asada (burrito) was very tough and flavorless, fish tacos... much smaller fish and now hotter than Hell and the Chili Relleno's, which were my absolute favorite, was the best in town, is also hotter than Hell, and inedible. So sad...

10/10 steak and egg breakfast burrito, tasted amazing! The meat was seasoned to perfection and the burrito itself was large in size, amazing ! Also very good prices and friendly service, will definitely be back.

With certain cravings, you want to experience exactly what you had the last time. Well, it been a while. Perhaps too long. Lupe's has updated the interior. With the menu still the same, I expected that great meal I had all those years ago. Ordered cheese enchiladas, rolled tacos and the beef taco plate. Nothing was greasy. More bland and overcooked. It was awful. Tortillas were unusually thin. The oil had an awful aftertaste. My memory was better than reality. Now I know what to except and will keep driving.

Ordered the 2 beef taco combination plate and one fish taco and one carnitas taco. The food was ok, nothing special but still decent. Service was quick. Wouldn't come back again.

There are so many Mexican restaurants and this one had great ratings. I ordered 3 chicken and 2 carne asada burritos. I asked if it came with beans and rice but it came with guacamole instead. They weighed a ton and were huge. They tasted very good but were missing cheese and sour cream. That's why I give it 4 out of 5. The chicken tastes better than the carne asada in my opinion. I will definitely be back again.
