Lupe's Cantina in NYC offers a neighborhood haunt with delicious food and fast, friendly service. Despite the crowded atmosphere, finding a table is worth it for the reasonable prices and quick service. While not the best Mexican food, it's a good spot to grab a meal. The restaurant offers a great happy hour deal with $8 drinks and free chips/salsa. However, service can be slow at times, as experienced during a 90-minute wait for forgotten orders. The Chicken Enchiladas are recommended, generously filled with chicken and served with beans, rice, and salad. The outdoor seating, convenient location, and immediate seating make Lupe's a decent choice for a casual meal, despite some shortcomings in freshness and flavor.
