    Lupe's Mexican Eatery has a surprisingly fulfilling array of appetizers, plates, and drinks, though the main draw for me are their stuffed and voluminous burritos. I've tried several of the burritos here for their size, flavour, and variety of ingredients, most memorably the Lupe's, Hot Cheetos, California and birria burritos. The Lupe's is stacked with steak and bacon, grilled onion and cilantro, jack cheddar cheese and Chipotle sauce AND guac, so you'll love it as the mash of distinct savoury flavours it is if you love each of those ingredients. It's filling and fills you with both strength and fatigue to prep for or recover from a day of hard work. 5.7/10. Hot Cheetos burritos are something you occasionally see around for some reason, and the one's here are solid, though I prefer the version available at Primo's by a solid margin. Lupe's Cheeto's burritos do have an interesting compressive texture that I strangely somewhat enjoy. 4.4/10. The California burrito is a standard and very solid rendition of a classic. I would put the Lupe's version at above average in quality as they're definitely not mediocre or disappointing. 5.3/10. The birria burrito is just as packed and filling as the other burritos, but tastes and feels significantly more fresh as it consists of a juicy but light birria steak, red beans, and LOTS of chopped cilantro and diced onions. In fact, it primarily tastes of the leafy green, so definitely avoid it if you're not a fan. I enjoy it, though it definitely feels lighter and less satisfying to eat than its less healthy, heavier siblings, and suffers from its birria juices settling at the bottom of the burrito to be largely untasted throughout the eating experience, possibly as there isn't enough of it provided. 4/10. This spot also has a good salsa bar with particularly tasty sauces. My favorites are the classic verde and another, pale green sauce with a creamy flavour, both of which go well with all meals to varying effect. I like how the tortilla chips feel a bit cakey- it's slightly hard to describe, but they're not excessively salty either and fun to eat as a receptacle for the delicious sauces here. A solid spot with solid burritos and a solid selection of menu items at fairly standard prices.

    The grilled and beer-battered fish tacos at Lupe’s are absolutely outstanding. Perfectly cooked fish, light and crispy batter, fresh toppings, and incredible flavor in every bite. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully prepared. A huge bonus is the sauce bar, which lets you customize everything exactly how you like your spice—our favorite is the red hot sauce from the squeeze bottle! So good~ The customer service made the experience even better. Maritza, who took our order, was amazing—friendly, sweet, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Between the food, the sauce bar, and the service, this place is a total win. Highly recommend Lupe’s!

    10/10 Recommend! Came in on a friend's recommendation and was blown away. Alitzel provided amazing service, warmly greeting me and recommending the Campechana fries. I customized them, and they were perfect—crispy fries, flavorful meat, and the sauce on the side was a great touch. Fantastic food and fantastic service!

    Lupe's is always amazing. While their pastor and asada is delicious, their seafood is really the star of the show. I always get at least one item with octopus in it. They do it so well. A+ every time.

    DoorDash order today Saturday, around 2 pm. The food was ready fairly quick. The California Burrito was massive, it was just too delicious. My wife also enjoyed her Two Taco Combo. Good amount of food, excellent taste. The Melon water we got was just too sweet, but maybe that’s just how the fruit was, but we didn’t finish it. Too sweet for our taste.
