About Lupita’s Restaurant
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food (pupusas de chicharon con queso & pupusas de revuelta, pastelitos de pollo, and the empanada de plátanos) were delicious! The Salvi Horchata was very good and authentic- I loved it (that's saying something cause I'm picky with my horchata)! Will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends and family!
Food was delicious!!!! Service was the cherry on top. We had the Camarones Al diablo and pupusas. Also had salvadorean horchata…bomb!!! Can’t await to come back.
Really good pupusas. We tried 4 of the 10 types and I always pick the eclectic options. The pumpkin, loroco, and jalapeno were mild in flavor but had fabulous cheesy goodness. The chicken added a better contrast and their table hot sauce was tasty. We got a bowl of curtido, too, which was also good. They do make everything fresh, so if there is a line, expect to wait a little, it is worth it. I will return and test other interesting options.
Great variety of food I'm definitely coming back to have a traditional breakfast and have salpicón for dinner. A must try in Costa Mesa, I got pupusas and had to wait a little because they are made to order and fresh. Very delicious and good salsa and repollo. Support local businesses and give this gem a try 👍😁
Great little spot. I was thrilled to discover this place. It's close to the bus stop where I was waiting for the bus. I went in to order take out and they had it ready before my bus came. I ordered a sweet corn tamal, fried plantains with cream only (no beans), and a cheese and loroco pupusa. I didn't eat any of it until I got to my hotel and it was all so good that I was bummed I hadn't ordered more.
