Review

What Customers Say

"I just ate the finest Mexican food I have eaten since I moved here six years ago. It was sublime! I ordered frijoles de charros al Pastor. Most people are familiar with al Pastor.The method of preparing and cooking (layered pork) is based on the lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to the Mexican origin of al Pastor, the Puebla region. Today al Pastor can be found nationwide. This soup was extremely flavorful (I must admit, I LOVE charros beans). Mixed with chopped vegetables, a savory beef broth, and the obligatory mix-ins (cilentro, chive onions, serrano peppers, radishes), the beans and the Pastor just make this one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. Sadly I leave tomorrow to go back to my home on the Costa de Oaxaca, but I will back San Cris. Te amo San Cristobal!! Kudos to Restaurant La Lupe, tu comida es excepcional!"

"We crossed this location as we walked the streets which didn’t feel like to have but rather to have simple food and originally wasn’t sure but we were wrong. Stopped at right before closing time but they served and gave us good food"

"This is the truth, we walked around for over an hour and a half trying to figure out where we were going to eat looking at the Google reviews and going from place to place. We were exasperated and finally decided on Lupe's. I bet the hostess saw us pass her a dozen times that evening. No expectations but oh my God were we completely impressed. The food and the staff! We sat towards the front but it was cool and they came up and suggested we went to the back. Yes the back was closer to the toilets but it was actually fine and I appreciated their concern. Our waiter spoke a little bit of English which helped. We started off with a Kahlua and cream which I think they call a White Russian and a pina colada made with tequila. Great drinks plenty of alcohol. They had run out of the El pastor so we couldn't get the tacos. So we ended up getting the pork dish which was one of their specialties that came with a darker sauce and it was fantastic. It tasted like a mole. The dish was absolutely wonderful and the pork, all but one piece, melted in your mouth. The taste was delicious. The other dish we got which was the most amazing dish was the chili rellenos and they were made like nothing you can get in the United States. Beautiful large plump succulent green poblano Chili's filled with ground beef and other ingredients including one of the most interesting, raisins. We thought it was funny because my mom loves to put raisins and everything. This really did make the dish though. It was filled and stuffed and gently battered and fried and it came with a sauce and it was a dream. I always look for good chili rellenos made like this but it's almost impossible to find just like good Maryland crab cakes. When you find them, make sure you order them and I have no problem recommending these hands down as they must have dish when eating here. You can have it as an appetizer and share it or a main dish. Now I can't guarantee it will always come out as amazing as tonight but given how everything else was and the care and attention of the waiters, I can't imagine it not coming out amazing. One thing I did notice was how clean the refrigerators were and the attention to detail and putting away products into the refrigerator. The place looked immaculate. Now this is not specific to this restaurant but I should be saying it in all my reviews, a little more hand washing couldn't hurt. But I've noticed from coffee houses to the most expensive restaurants, hand washing is a little lacking. Some Americans just love to see more hand washing. Other than that, just wonderful. A great value. It is on the main strip so it is going to be a tad more expensive than places not on the main strip but it still was very reasonable. If I had a chance to come back and try more of the amazing dishes I saw in the menu, I would be back in a heartbeat. The wait staff was friendly and efficient and made our evening special. It's easy to find on one of the walking streets. Look for the beautiful woman in the traditional outfit as a hostess and that's the place! And the icing on the cake was the hostess remembered us the next day walking by. We felt like family. One last thing. Bring a fat ass or a cushion. Maybe it was just my skinny but, but I couldn't get comfortable on my chair"

"Food here was simply amazing! A lot of great taste and so difficult to choose. If only our stomach was big enough to order everything . But we enjoyed every bite of the meals we’ve ordered. Thank you for having us and serving such great food!"
