Friday's special was 2 tacos Dorado rice and beans, or an asada quesadilla with a side of consome for 12.99. You are recieved with complementary chips and salsa which were delicious! I am looking forward to visiting again before I head back home.

Don't you just love it when a restaurant gets things right?…read more Owners Roberto and Rina ("Reina") Perez have figured out how to prepare and present home cooking in a commercial setting, and, in doing so, have shown that they understand the importance of "home" in that construct. Some of this is no surprise to me. Reina is cousin to Rodnia Attiq (nee Navarro), who, with her mother Rosario Sotelo owned San Diego's El Borrego for almost 25 years, until they closed their business at the end of 2025. Having been welcomed and fed many times with homely care at El Borrego, I'm not surprised that the family connection - and the warmth and hospitality included in it - extends to Cousin Reina. If you're having a bad day, it's worth dropping in for a bite to eat just so you can say "hi" to her. Between the food and the greeting you'll receive, you'll leave feeling better about things. So what to eat? Depending on the time of day and how hungry you are, you'll be pleased with Cazuelitas; Pozole Rojo or the herby Guerrero-style Pozole Verde; hearty Tlacoyos; large Enchilada plates; or probably my favorite Mexican dish, Mixiote de Borrego, which is lamb that's spiced, marinated and slow-steamed until it falls off the bone. I've eated most of those things and seen the rest on my fellow diners' tables. Especially now that El Borrego is gone, if El Centro wasn't a two-hour drive from my house, I'd be a regular, so that I could continue sampling the superb and wide-ranging menu at Antojito Como En Casa.

The staff were excellent, friendly, and attentive, which always makes a big difference. Everyone we interacted with was welcoming and happy to help with any questions. I also really appreciated how clear and easy the menu is to read. Everything is well organized and straightforward, which makes ordering simple even if it's your first time there. There are plenty of great options to choose from, and it's obvious they put thought into making the menu user friendly. Overall, Ma Lupe's Mexican Food is a solid choice if you're looking for good food and great service. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable meal.

I did not like the salsa, the owner needs to add more variations. The chimichangas came out ok, they were toasted good but they can come out better. Would not recommend coming here since they are not always consistent with food delivery orders. Please try another spot and avoid getting rolled tacos too please. I believe more lighting is needed for the location for food safety reasons and for easier perceptions. Please avoid getting rolled tacos. (This is an update to the original review)
