She truly went above and beyond to accommodate us and even got my husband a free dessert for his birthday!Coming to the food, the taco salad was very tasty. But man the complimentary chips and salsa was out of the world! Hands down one of the best salsas we’ve had in a long time!!!! If they’d package and sell that salsa, we would buy bottles of it!! With food that tastes this good, we’re gonna be back soon!!Jefferson and Jorge were a lot of fun too!!“

I felt like I went back on time when I saw $5.50 for a massive burrito. $7 for chilaquiles. Delicious and affordable.“

But luckily Lupita’s is carrying on with their greatness. I learned that many of the same people that worked at Los Compos are now there, so they’re bringing their greatness with them. $5.99 breakfast burritos that keep you filled up until dinner. Can’t beat it.“

“An awesome spot for tasty tacos! The only thing I would say though that surprised me was how small the establishment is. There are only four tables on the inside that are pretty small but the outdoor seating is nice on a day that has good weather! The tacos with Birria were great and the staff was lovely to our group :) the portion was good enough for me, but I could see it being not fulfilling if you are super hungry. i'll have to come back and try different tacos next time.“

“Clean, reasonably priced, and delicious food! Breakfast ends at 11. We were a tad disappointed but only till we received our lunch! We had the beef fajita tacos on flour - delicious! Great flavor and big chunks of meat. We shared snd were full. The small queso and guacamole aren’t tiny. We had more than enough for two. Loved the thin, homemade flour tortillas! Guacamole was freshly made. Chips were toasted and the salsa verde was awesome but too spicy for me. We had tea and water but saw some huge micheladas being served on our way out. We’ll go again for breakfast. Very clean, bright and inviting. Annie was one of our two waitresses, both impeccable with timing and refills on tea, water & chips. Go see them!“

Endless coffee was served all around me. I had the huevos rancheros and the serving size was more than the price would typically have indicated. I will definitely earmark this one for a return visit.“

Their tortillas and red salsa are so good that I have bought some to go a couple of times. Their taco salad is also delicious.
