Cute place. My wife ordered a Paloma which she did not drink, she thought it tasted salty. Chips and salsa were great. I ordered two ground beef tacos, my wife ordered the same. We also ordered Mexican street corn and a side order of guacamole. Everything tasted over salted. Service was slow. We eat at Mexican restaurants all the time and this was probably one of the worst. We are visiting from Wisconsin and expected fantastic south of the border food. This one disappointed us. The 4.5 rating is not accurate. Please try harder.

I’ve passed by this Mexican restaurant countless times since it’s just a few minutes from my home, but I had never taken the chance to stop in—until today. My mom and I decided to finally give it a try, and we were so glad we did.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions.
Most importantly, the flavor of the food was outstanding—authentic, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of home-style cooking that keeps you coming back for more.
I 100% recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon!

A good unassuming Mexican restaurant with decent food for those looking for a simple Mexican dinner, though the wait could be a while (for the food to arrive). We showed up on Saturday night for a table for two and had about a 15 minute wait before we were seated. Even though we were two people, we were seated at a booth, so there was plenty of space and we were comfortable. However, it was honestly hard to hear/chat across the table.
Upon being seated, we were given chips and salsa - these were a great way to get keep us satiated until the food arrived. We ordered a horchata, agua fresca, fish tacos and a carnitas torta and candidly the food took a while to arrive. This could be a unique experience because it looked like there was a large party that was taking place while we were dining.
The food itself was okay, but nothing to write home about. The fish in the fish tacos could use more flavor, but the platter itself was generous. Hard to not get the full option for a couple bucks more, and it was good to have the rice and beans on the plate. The torta tasted great - though the carnitas really soaked through the bread pretty quickly: felt like a (more) toasted bun would withstand the soaking better. The drinks were also pretty standard, but a nice accompaniment.
All in all, was happy to have stopped in to try, but not likely to come back.

First time here, visiting from SoCal and we discovered this golden nugget. Service and atmosphere was great and the food was exceptional. I was impressed that the tortillas are hand made and the food was so good. Will come again. Keep up the good work.

This Mexican restaurant is not friendly staff and food is okay sometimes, sometimes half cook, ambiance look clean, but there restrooms smell so bad and dirty. My grandma told me mama lupe is nice person, but there’s staff is low in manners.

We visit Mama Lupe’s almost weekly and enjoy every meal we have. The chips and salsa are probably the best I ever had and everyone is super friendly and attentive. I’m so glad they decided to reopen and it’s my favorite local spot.

A family ran place that is in full display with the pride and effort that they put into their restaurant, and their handmade corn tortillas are a good example of this. This also shows in their food offerings, where their dishes have distinct flavors from each other, and not just a blend of matching flavors, which happens at other restaurants.
Really tasty Tex-Mex favorites. Excellent chips, salsa, guac, Chile Verde, Steak Ranchero, tacos, ceviche, and great drinks!

The restaurant is super clean. Food is always fresh and delicious. Wait staff is attentive and quick. The entire staff is super hospitable. The music is at a level that creates a lively fun atmosphere but you can still have a conversation.

We had take out, food was solid, ready on time, piping hot, and basics (tortillas, beans, grilled chicken, etc) were better than average. Counter person saw me walk in and headed to the counter right away, very polite. Will dine in next time!

Nice and clean. It took over 30 min for carnitas nachos. The person had a friend or two that came in and was talking to them I saw my food waiting for a few minutes. Got home to eat it and the chips are soggy. Not my favorite place to eat.
