It was my 3rd time at Lupita's and it was delicious as ever. My fave dishes are the ceviche with olives and shrimp fajitas. The two dishes were plenty to share. Love the ambiance and small quaint feel of the restaurant.

This was the first time my husband and I had tried this restaurant. It serves very creative Mexican food that is delicious! And they have an extensive margarita menu with many flavors. The menu is small but the food is presented very pleasingly and is delicious.

Kind and attentive service. Food could have more seasoning for better flavor. We would have appreciated a sampler platter option or the ability to order two of two different kinds of tacos instead of 4 of one kind. Very fresh guacamole. Atmosphere is very, very casual and uninteresting with hard wood seat chairs.

Food was fairly good (other then the cold rice &beans) , service was very poor. The waitress was both rude and pushy to expedite our time there.

We have been to Lupitas once before. It is a very quaint and nice place to dine. I feel like cinco de mayo was a day that they really could’ve shined. Unfortunately our dining experience was not enjoyable. We almost left after waiting 15 minutes to even get waters. My husband had to stop the hostess to ask if someone could come take our order. The margaritas on our first visit were homemade and quite enjoyable. On cinco de mayo, they were watered down and tasted like a mix from a bottle. We watched other families get up and walk out before dining because it took so long for anyone to come to the table. I just feel like they weren’t prepared for this occasion where they really could’ve made such a better impression on first timers to their establishment. We will give this restaurant another try as I feel like they are better than that day and were just overwhelmed by the amount of patrons that were wanting to dine.

This is an upscale mexican restaurant. Food was delicious! Service was attentive, even under the stress of Valentines' day crowds. Had a very good time there. Although a relatively small space, I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a high quality authentic and creative in the use of ingredients, mexican dinner.

We had the pork chops which were cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce was so good spicy but not killer. The guacamole is fresh and not processed overall the meal was excellent
