Been going here since it opened and today was the only bad service day we had. The B crew young people were preparing and serving not the usual owner, so my husband never got his menudo breakfast. I believe the waitress gave it to another customer who arrived after us, but gave me my dish, then came back to say it's coming, it never came. I finished and nothing came so we told her to forget it, we are leaving. The thing that got me, was there was no apology for the mistake, no discount offered and then says Have a nice day". I recommend to Sandra the owner to evaluate their performance on Sundays.

I had the menudo. It was ok but it had hairs in it!! YES HAIRS more than ONE. I went back for a refund and it was a big deal to the workers. They stated the pata (pig feet) has hair so it's normal for menudo to have hair. I stated I'd never ate menudo with pork feet that had hair. After some attitude I got a refund I Won't visit again!!

The food is delicious, but be aware! The veggie burrito is absolutely full of mushrooms. I didn't expect it, and have a terrible allergy to them. Mushrooms aren't listed on the ingredients, so having eaten 2 bites thinking it was sautéed peppers was very disappointing. Learned an important lesson. Now to find something I can eat there.

I was prepared to love this place more than I actually did, sadly. The menu is a wonderful mix of traditional and interesting choices, the place is cute as can be, the service is spot on, and the portions are generous. My wife had the Three Taco plate (comes with rice and beans) which she enjoyed, but said that the crunchy tacos were a bit tough. I had Pollo en Molé because I am a big fan of that dish. The chicken quarter was cooked perfectly in the molé, but the mole itself was a little lackluster. The flour tortillas they served with it were fresh and obviously made on site! I want to believe that the same can be said for the tortilla chips that came with our orders because they were excellent, too. Both the rice and the beans were pretty bland but the salsas they included perked them up, but they shouldn't have needed to. Still, a great local place that we will probably visit again.

Amazing service and amazing food. I ordered a pozole because I was feeling a little under the weather and it made me feel so good. The flavor is amazing, reminds me of my family friend's cooking. Thank you so much ladies

Fresh Mexican food & delicious. Their caldos (soup) is delicious, mole, chilaquiles (red/green), & homemade corn tortillas.

There chicken enchiladas plate was pretty good it came with a side or ride & beans tasted fresh
So I'd say we're batting .500 with Mama Lupitas, which is great for baseball, not so much for dining out. We arrived at 855 AM, a few tables seated, and sat down quickly. The server and hostess took our order, and then the wait began. Brought us soup before our drinks. Then drinks. More people came in , sat down, ordered, and got their food before we did. A man came in, ordered to go, and left before we were served. At 940 we asked about our food and were told the cook just started it. We paid our bill, got it to go. Adding insult to injury, the hostess did not seem concerned about the situation, and rather than apologize for the delay, she wished us a nice day. Very disappointing, the food the first time was good, and the restaurant is within walking distance, so we'd love to have a breakfast option we can walk to ,but I guess First Awakenings will be the default.

We've been here before and had good service. Today, our food took 45 minutes to be served, and it was not busy. Others who came in after us were served their food before us. When it was finally delivered, after we had to ask for it to go because of time constraints, there wasn't even an apology. We will not be back.

Super delicious Mexican food. It's not my top spot, but it's been closed, and in Watsonville. Glad I found this spot. Didn't take many pictures but did get one of the soup they started with. Nice touch. I had the chile relleno. Sauce is everything for me. This was very good. The beans tasted very fresh. The rice was good. Salsa etc. Highly recommend

So many choices of treats, snacks, drinks that you can choose, It's good but it's not the best! Prices are a little to high but overall I go back to try it again..Kid-friendliness: They got air hockey and soccer tables to play and a whole bunch of toys for your kids..
