It has a decent amount of street parking, as well as a large green area with toys where kids can and do play. They have plenty of outdoor seating so this is a great spot to come and relax on a spring or summer afternoon/evening. I didn't feel like it was too busy when we got there, but it did take them a little bit to take our orders, get our drinks, and get our food out, so maybe it was. That being said, the ladies handling orders were MOVING. The menu does not list prices. You have to go to their website to see what the current price of food is. I got an order of the chips and guac and the fish tacos (grilled). The fish tacos were huge, which was delightful and it came with three. The guac was okay - I think it needed more cilantro, lime, or salt. My friend got the aguachile and an order of chilaquiles rojo. The aguachile was in this delightfully spicy green sauce - I took some and drenched my taco in it. The perfect combo! The aguachile is huge so my friend sent me home with some, along with my one remaining fish taco. Both were delicious as leftovers.

Both were tasty, came out hot and promptly, and were perfect when we got home to eat. The green and red salsas were tasty. The red which is the spicier of the 2 had a little heat but not too much.

The food is absolutely authentic and there's nothing in particular that's wrong with it.

On the whole, Luputa is perfectly good but not great.

DIOS MIO !!! Who…read moreknew I'd travel all the way from Los Angeles, CA to Hillsborough, NC to find my favorite Mexican Restaurant!?! Okay, I can't take credit for finding it - my sister, who really knows how to find the best spots anywhere and everywhere told us this is the one! Muchas gracias, mi hermana ‍‍ Well, let's be real, I do have other favorites for different reasons, but everything here is fresh, authentic, and on-point! I would make a trip to Hillsborough just to eat at Tacos Los Altos. They have a great menu, the place is super charming (both inside and on the patio in front), plus they have really good margaritas served in glasses that add to the party vibe. Mom and I really enjoyed our food, then my niece and nephew found us and they loved theirs as well. My nephew was the only one to finish his meal, however. The portions are huge, so be ready for leftovers. I had the chicken breast enchiladas suizas and was amazed at how flavorful and moist the white meat was. They don't skimp on the cheese, either! Our server was kind and attentive, and none of the staff seemed annoyed that we were there a little late in the afternoon when they probably could have been taking a little break. We parked near the Colonial Inn and walked along the super charming street to this gem of a restaurant. I want to go back there right now. Let's hope this family-owned and operated business thrives for generations.

Tiny interior, but feels cozy and makes you feel like you're in a little taqueria in Playa del Carmen or something. Highly recommend. These folks know what they're doing and are a major asset to the community.

It took a…read moregood 4-5 minutes sitting at the bar before we were greeted, but after that service was prompt and efficient. We ordered the 1/2 order of fried banana peppers, dry rub wings, a bacon jam burger and tots. Oh! and beer! The star of the night was the banana peppers. Tangy and delicious, the small was huge! The wings were def done right and although I'm a blue cheese fan, the ranch was better. I'm knocking off one star for the burger. It was $16 (with tots) but it was tiny! It had one slice of red onion, a few shreds of lettuce, maybe a teaspoon of bacon jam and I'm not certain it had cheese at all. It tasted great, and the tots were perfect, but for that price I expected a burger that was bigger and more substantial than a $4 burger from Jimmy's. With all the other stuff (we shared) we were full but on its own, that burger would've been a disappointment. I'll go back for those banana peppers and wings, but I'll skip that little bitty burger.

I ordered for lunch the Nickel-fil-a sandwich with cucumber salad and my friend ordered their 6 wings and a side salad. $14.50 for mine, which felt steep for just a sandwich a side but maybe I would have felt different if I got the french fries. The sandwich was very good. We chatted for about 2 hours and enjoyed our time.

As soon as we entered and seated by the friendly host we enjoyed the day of dead decor. We settled on a citrus shrimp dish served in a cast iron dish which was different, fresh, that includes a side salad that was filled with fresh veggies and rice to accompany the shrimp with warm tortillas. The daily special margarita was excellent and tasted better than expected for a daily special. I will make the 40 minute drive to return very soon.
