Hands down, some of the best tacos you'll ever have in your life! Spot to go if in town on vacation.

Some of the most memorable tacos I've ever had. I could plan a trip to Cabo just to go back for the tacos. I'm not sure if tacos could be life-changing, but if they could- these would be the chosen ones!

Went for lunch, got 3 tacos and a marg which was perfect! The lettuce wrap fell apart so don't recommend that one. The special was very cool big shrimp with the head on and a grasshopper green sauce. Awesome vibe and great staff.

Waiters were very helpful and food was good! Definitely would go back. Make sure to have a reservation, you don't want to sit outside!

This was our second visit to La Lupita, and the taco selection is truly impressive—beef, pork, poultry, seafood, and vegetarian options. We started with the Baja oysters and soft-shell crab tostada, both fresh and flavorful with a great balance of heat and savoriness. For the main course, my wife had the roasted beet salad (a dish large enough to share) and a miso fish taco. I opted for three tacos: miso fish, chipotle shrimp, and tempura shrimp (Taco Guero). The miso fish, made with the catch of the day, was our least favorite but still very good. For drinks, if you're into mezcal or want to try it for the first time, I highly recommend the tasting flight with three different samples—all excellent! Be prepared for the lively atmosphere in this small, bustling spot. It's noisy even in the afternoon, but if you visit in the evening, there's live music with a band playing on a stage in the outdoor bar area atop the south wall.

Always the best tacos. Lots of variety. I come every time I'm in town. I love the pork belly pink corn taco and the beef-chines style. Their version of Peking duck :). My wife had the specials Friday. Make reservations or you have to wait. Don't mind the noise it's a fun place. Dinner or lunch. Everyone is nice and helpful.

World class, gourmet tacos, and cocktails! I went two days in a row. I only had room for three tacos. The duck taco and the chocolate clams unbelievable. Mezcal cocktails were also great. Smoky spicy and delicious!

This was our first stop on day one and it did not disappoint! Very creative tacos and salsas. Drinks were delicious and service very attentive. Such Gourmet tacos! Only bummer were the random flies landing on us while eating. But it is open air concept restaurant and just expect that.

You will never go wrong at Lupita's. The only thing is the attitude the hostess has, they can be snobs

Maria

Awesome as usual! Consistent in every aspect...food, service, ambience. Ivan, Marcos, Christian, Maggie are exceptionally warm, friendly and make us feel part of their family! Hasta Pronto!

Great place to eat. Ivan was an excellent server as was the entire team. We will continue to make it a tradition on our visits.

Opentable Diner

Wonderful restaurant. Great service. Great location. Great atmosphere. Was not impressed with the fried oysters. But the oxtail taco, pastor tacos, mushroom chicharrón and the bone marrow with potato chip taco were unbelievably creative and fabulous. The most different being the mushroom chicharrón and the bone marrow on potato chips. Creative. Delicious. No wonder it is such a popular spot.
