It looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but on the inside it has terrific food. Service is a little slow, but the food makes it worthwhile

I gave Lupita's a 3 instead of a 2 because 1) my daughter liked what she got and 2) the people working there were kind and immediately tended to the issue I had with my order.
While watching Patti's Mexican Table on PBS, I began to crave Mexican food. So I scrolled through some options not that far and landed on Lupita's. First thing I noticed on the Google website "Menu" pictures was that a lot of the reviews weren't that recent. There were good reviews and bad ones, but I wanted to decide for myself.
I ordered 2 of the #15 meals (1 burrito, 1 enchilada, and 1 tamale), and a steak quesadilla meal. First red flag was the menus didn't have any prices. The prices had white out on them. The second red flag was the 2 combo meals did not come with rice and beans. I had to order them as a separate side item. The third red flag was when I got home, I noticed part of my order was missing. I had to drive back to Lupita's. I showed them my receipt indicating what I ordered and I showed them the pictures of what I was given. Abuela thought that I ordered the #5. The granddaughter had to tell her no, it was quince (#15). So, after the confusion went away, my missing items were made along with two Chile Relleno stuffed with cheese that I ordered additionally during this return visit.
Over all, the meal I had wasn't all that. The Chile Relleno was partially if not entirely cooked in the microwave (I actually saw it placed in it). The salsa appeared to be just pureed tomatoes with a few specks of cilantro in it. The rice and beans were bland. It just didn't hit. And I know this restaurant can do better. I see the potential!
On the plus side, my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her quesadilla with steak. It came with rice on the side, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream.

Prices are blocked out and you can tell nothing. The food was ok but honestly I was expecting better. Two people bill came to $ 33 and change.

I had to ask someone to clean the dirty table. She said “where is it dirty”? I said, all over. I had the combo plate. I could not eat the rellano. It was mushy, soggy and greasy. The rest of the meal was good. It’s been two years since I came here. It might be another two years before coming back. Not comfortable, service-naw, timeliness-naw. They used to be my favorite place to dine. I am sad to post this. But, this is my experience.
Parking: They have a tiny lot. It’s doable though.
