Lupitas Authentic Mexican Food

Best Mexican food I've had in my life. I ordered the highly-recommended beef barbacoa taco, a carnitas gordita, a chicken empanada (pictured), and put together three cups of sauce from the salsa bar.

The taco was simple but soo tasty, and the gordita was delicious and greasy in the best way. The green salsa was so fresh too. The empanada was delicious and I loved how the edges tasted like a freshly fried tortilla chip. I'll have to try the cheese empanada next!

You're given your order in takeout containers to take with you, which I liked - I think you have to specifically ask if you want your meal for here.

The food is great, with large portions. The service is minimal, even when one dines in. The corner with the salsas is open to contamination from the customers. College students are not always careful with hygiene.

I'm from Arizona and miss good Mexican food. This place has it. There has never been a miss.

Until my last visit. The prices have skyrocketed. I get it, the economy is trash right now. It's just more than I was expecting. I waited 25 minutes for 2 shredded beef tacos, rice, and beans. Normally it's 10 minutes and if they were cooking more up, they definitely could have given a heads up. That would have changed this whole review.

It was 3 pm on a Monday. There were 3 of us in the store. The cashier was perched on the counter talking to a friend and a girl from the back kept coming in and out chatting with them too. They were out of most of the sauces, the trash was overflowing, and the counter was a mess.

Now the food was still incredible. I don't have a lot of options so the odds of coming back are high. It's just incredibly frustrating and disappointing.

Honestly, I'm sure for the college kids, this is a great place to drop in quickly and get a meal. However, for me who was having dinner with a friend and we decided on Mexican, it was highly underwhelming. You place your order at the counter and pay, then go sit down to have them bring it to you. The soft drink system has a handwritten sign for a dollar per refill, but you've already paid. Semi confusing. The meals were brought out on paper plates. Like, great value brand. All the condiments are self serve in this crammed thing, where the sauces all drop into the others as your filling the smallest condiment cups on earth. I asked for chips and salsa and got chips - no salsa. I paid for a quality meal but was disappointed.
