They always say that the small, out of the way places are the best, when it comes to food. This place gives you home cooked, family comfort food. That's what Casa Lupe Real is, family pride at it's best. From the chicken grande burrito, that you literally didn't need teeth in order to eat it. I have never had a tortilla melt in your mouth. It was phenomenal. Not to mention, it probably weighed 2 pounds. The fajitas are exquisite. You will definitely leave the table stuffed, from this absolutely fresh cuisine. If you're a fan of margaritas, boy, do they know how to make a good one. Likewise, their fruit, Long Island iced tea is dangerous it's so good. This family run restaurant is a true gem of Saratoga. I highly recommend that you try it. I guarantee you're gonna love it! read more

Casa Lupe real - They definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. It was packed full of chicken. I couldn't even eat half. It was so filling and delicious. - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga, California

updating rating from 2 to 4 stars because the food is great, just be specific about what you want if you're ordering takeout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ first of all, this is my fault & I don't mean to write a review in order to coerce the restaurant but Im frustrated after having 2 experiences in a row that could have gone better if you order out, you have to be very specific, like I said, a big part of this is my fault I will admit that & I will likely order from them again however, I ordered a chicken taco & forgot to say grilled chicken, the one I got was the default option for chicken & it isnt very good the grilled chicken is great, the other option is not, which I cannot emphasize enough... if you're ordering chicken, get it grilled or don't get it otherwise the time before last I wanted to order 2 grilled chicken tacos a la carte & they made it the taco plate, which was way more food than I wanted but again, that was my fault because i was not specific enough for the 3rd time, its my fault, but its frustrating to spend nearly $50 on takeout each time & come home with something I didn't really want not sure what they could do but if they make a change I will definitely update my review cause I like the food otherwise best advice I can give is if you're ordering out, be very very specific read more

I'm SO THRILLED they are here and much closer to me. I used to go to Casa Lupe in Sunnyvale all the time and the food is just like that location! But smaller and more cozy. We both got the California Enchilada and it brought back so many fond memories... AND I remember the chips and salsa - homemade chips - thick and tasty with two kinds of salsa. Yes we had to have 2nds on the chips and salsa - it's THAT good. AND I admit - I LOVE eating the beans, enchilada with a bit of sour cream on a chip. It's like a PERFECT bite of flavor and textures!! I recognized the owner from the Sunnyvale location and he's friendly and super nice. I really hope he stays and we definitely will be coming here more often! I have my list of my favorites that I need to go through so I DEFINITELY will be going back... read more

Our go to place!!!!! We eat at Casa Lupe a few times a week actually (done in and take out) and love it. The food is always so fresh and steaming hot regardless if we eat there or bring home. The service is amazing - so friendly! Love the atmosphere too - small place but I love a local business and the patio area especially in the evenings. read more

Comfortable atmosphere, all of the staff were friendly and helpful, but most of all, the food was so good! I will be coming here again the next time I'm in town. read more

Casa Lupe real - Super Chavela and a michelada. - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga, California

Just like the Cass Lupe on Bernardo in Sunnyvale, this one loves up to the name. Miguel branched off on his own and it's just as good as the original. What I like about this location is that it has an outdoor front patio area to eat and there are a few different things, most notably is the salsa. Still have the red, but now they have green which is pretty good. Service is also just as good as Sunnyvale location. Always attentive. Def check this one out if you are in the area. I believe the hours are the same as well read more

Casa Lupe in Saratoga is one of those rare places where the owner is the difference--and it shows every single time you walk through the door. He's always there, always hustling: greeting guests, serving tables, talking with regulars, socializing, and keeping the energy just right. Whatever the game of the day is, it's on in the bar, and the ambience is consistently warm, welcoming, and comfortable. He's built a loyal, friendly team around him--many of the same faithful faces who are always genuinely happy to see you. That consistency matters. Even when dealing with a landlord who was less than easy to work with regarding the outdoor seating, the owner handled it all with grace and professionalism, which says a lot about his character. The food is excellent, period. I always get the fajitas and they never disappoint. The chips are great. The salsa is great. And yes--the bathrooms are always clean, which may sound small but says everything about how this place is run. This location has changed hands so many times over the years with other restaurants, but the owner has truly done wonders here. I sincerely hope Casa Lupe is the one that stands the test of time--and the test of petty reviewers. What else do you want? Get over yourself and go eat here. read more

Awesome food! So delicious! Ordered the Carne asada plate Chicken Mole plate Shrimp tacos plate Chili Relleno Ala carte All to go. The food was just as delicious as the other Casa Lupe located in Campbell! Please see pictures below and let your eyes do some feasting. The people were super friendly as usual for Casa Lupe and the surroundings were warm and comfortable. Inside there are big screen tvs to watch games on. There are 8 tables outside that look very comfortable to sit at while enjoying food and drink. Great place to visit, enjoy delicious food and drink at. Glad to see we will not have to travel to Campbell now, just down the road from home! Awesome place!! read more

We have been enjoying Casa Lupe in Sunnyvale for over 40 years. It was such a wonderful surprise to find a slice of HOME closer to us. The owner, Miguel, recognized us immediately and we felt so welcomed. The food is identical to what we are used to. We are so happy to have this family restaurant in our neighborhood. read more

Casa Lupe real - Chile Colorado - Mexican Near Me - Saratoga, California

We weree pleasantly seated outdoors. The patio is comfortable, it is a good distance from the busy stteet. Service is friendly and unhurried. Very relaxing. I very much enjoyed my chile relleno. I was so happy to see it on an ala cart menu since i often want a small meal. I tasted my husband's enchilada verde but found the verde sauce to be too vinegary. That's disappointing since i normally love chile verde burritos. His tostada had ample chicken but would be better if the lettuce on top of it had a bit of dressing. Instead it was a pile of tasteless lettuce. We plan to return and try some different items... the desserts look especially intriguing. They do serve churros even though they are not on the menu. read more

With so many places leaning toward fast-casual, it was such a treat to find a true sit-down Mexican restaurant. The staff was friendly, fast, and attentive, and the dining area felt cozy, warm, and welcoming. The aroma from the kitchen immediately set the tone for a great meal. My wife ordered the chile Colorado--tender and full of flavor--while I went with a create-your-own combo of chicken tacos, enchiladas, and tamales. Each bite was delicious and well-seasoned. The only reason we didn't give a full five stars was the chips and salsa. The chips were served warm but tasted a bit stale and lacked the crunch we expected. Overall, a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! read more

First time last night (4-1-26) with one other couple and we were not disappointed. It was busy but we got seated very quickly. Chips and salsa delivered and drink orders taken. My wife had the chimichanga and I had the chicken enchiladas California with sour cream and guac. Lots of tender chicken and beans and rice. Both were excellent and more than two seniors could finish. Yes, a little pricy but worth it. read more

Our first time going here, was excited to see a Mexican Food place here in Saratoga. We really enjoyed our dinner here. Sue had the choose your own adventure (they didn't call it that) where you could choose from several different dishes and have them together. She was able to have them make one item that wasn't in the official combo as part of the combo. I had the Fajitas with Chicken and Shrimp (which was also a custom combination). Both of us enjoyed the food very much. I am usually disappointed when I have Fajitas outside of my favorite place for Fajitas, but Casa Lupe Real was the first one to not disappoint and thus I now have an alternative which is much closer to home. It did take a very long time from when we ordered to when we got the food. The folks working there were very friendly and kept our drinks as well as chips and salsa going until we did get the food. Don't know if this delay is normal or that we came at the peak rush (the place was packed, though we didn't have a problem getting seated for two people). So I would suggest that you not expect very quick service, but we found it worth the wait. The food was clearly prepared from scratch. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I stopped by for a bite because I was in the area and I was hungry. I knew nothing about it before I came in. But now I remember it fondly and hope to be back. NOTE: They *do* have shredded beef, aka barbacoa. It's something I'm always looking for, and you can't tell whether they have it from the menu. They do, and it's delicious. It's a super friendly place, everyone who works there was welcoming and helpful. The food was super delicious. I judge a Mexican food place by their refried beans and their beef. These refried beans were super flavorful. I asked for shredded beef rather than ground beef or carne asada in my entree and it was fantastically meaty and juicy. I did add salt to everything--those of you who don't want everything super salty might love it here too! This place is definitely worth a visit and may end up on your regular rotation if you give it a try. read more

We are so happy we discovered Casa Lupe Real in Saratoga! The owner, Miguel, immediately and consistently makes you feel so welcome and comfortable!

The chips and salsa are yummy and everything we and some of our family have ordered for dinner has been excellent! My husband and I and family will definitely be regulars! Thank you Miguel and to your great staff! read more

An Absolute Gem - My New Go-To Spot in Saratoga! I stopped into Casa Lupe Real for a quick visit--just chips, salsa, guacamole, and a swirl--and walked away completely impressed. Let me start with the guacamole: creamy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. It was clearly made from scratch with love. Paired with their warm, crisp chips and flavorful red and green salsas, it was the perfect trio. And the swirl? Incredible. I've had swirls at many other restaurants, but this one might just top them all--smooth, bold, and perfectly blended. This is officially my new go-to spot for swirls! The atmosphere is vibrant, clean, and inviting. It's exactly the kind of warm, stylish place the Cupertino-Saratoga area has been needing. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and the owner, Miguel, is a true standout--genuine, kind, and clearly dedicated to creating something special for the community. I can't wait for the full bar to open up soon--I'll definitely be back to explore the food menu and the full array of cocktails. I'll follow up with another review after that visit, but if this first experience is any indication, it's going to be amazing. Casa Lupe Real is a total gem and an instant favorite. Highly recommend! read more

Everything was great! Much better than the other Lupe's! Thanks for the great service and food?

The food is delicious and during this hoilday season they have homemade tamales. You can get 2 or 6 or a dozen - and they'll even take bulk orders!!! All of the dishes they serve are authentic, homemade and served with a welcoming smile and excellent service. I understand they will begin serving margaritis in a about 1 week. Please support this new, family-run business. Visit soon - and remember to take home fresh tomales! read more

This became my go to restaurant... I run through thinking Italian tonight and ending up here having the chicken mole ... a couple big boy Pacifico's and fried ice cream ...,Casa Lupe wins it 'just good food' with great laid back service and a non pretentious atmosphere... gets the 10 outta 10 from me ... straight from my cushy desk job on a Friday night ... parking just outside spaces usually available... and after my fifth visit I can honestly say the place is fantastic you get to be a local pretty quick ... you'll find me at the bar with a drink and eating on a Friday night ... read more

I would give this a much higher rating except two things stood out to us. We frequent the Campbell location of Casa Lupe and have been going for a solid decade and a half. First the salsas both leaned on the sour side like lots of lime maybe? Now if this is your jam then this place is for you! We personally love the chunky salsa at their sister location in Campbell as well as their red salsa there...it's spicer and less sour. Chips were great though! Second we noticed a decrease in serving size. We ordered fajitas and usually at our regular location it's overflowing even if it's just onions and zucchini they are adding extra of. At this location we could see the bottom of the hot plate (it was visibly sparse) and though the chicken is cut in larger pieces the zucchini is cut rather thin and flat making it easier for it to be mushier and over cooked quickly. Over all the service was great and we loved the location of this place. We liked how there was an abundance of parking and how they have an outdoor patio. I think I would like to see them adjust their portion size a bit maybe even if it's just 10-15% more. In terms of salsa I realize it's just personal taste but we love us some spicy chunky salsa...not too tart! read more

Casa Lupe Real - A Hidden Gem with Real Flavor and Value If you're on the hunt for incredible Mexican food that won't drain your wallet, Casa Lupe Real is the place. The service is first come first serve, they treat you like one of their own. Definitely a place I would want to spend my Thursday nights to watching TNF. The ambience is a vibe. This spot delivers everything you'd want from an authentic Mexican restaurant--and more. The food? Unapologetically genuine. Every bite tastes like it was made with love and tradition, from the perfectly seasoned carne asada to the handmade guacamole that melt in your mouth. The mole tastes like my abuela's. And don't even get me started on the portions--they're huge. You'll likely have leftovers. Now, let's talk drinks. Whether you're sipping on their sangria or one of several beer selections, the bar here knows how to impress. Balanced, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. Casa Lupe Real nails that sweet spot of high quality and low price, making it one of those rare places you'll find yourself returning to again and again. read more

Tried this place for the first time but will not be back. Food was not very good and they charge extra for sour cream and guacamole. What infuriated me was the server after letting him know what I wanted said " sour cream and guacamole?" Little did we know both were extra if you wanted them. They need to let their customers know up front that both items are extra if you want them. Also their salsa was unbearably spicy. I asked for milder salsa and he brought what looked like tomato sauce. read more
