    On our anniversary cruise and docked in Cabo for the day. Of course we were in search of the best…read morefood. Walking in felt like an open concept casita. Very warm and inviting. No roof, string lighting and decor, a tree in the middle of the courtyard. Bar on one side. Covered dining tables on the other. Showed up at the perfect time. In between the lunch and dinner rush. Extremely friendly and attentive staff with expert knowledge of the menu and fabulous suggestions. What we ordered: - Peruvian Ceviche (fresh catch of the day) - Shrimp Chipotle - El Takeshi - Al pastor in fried cheese shell - Bone Marrow taco was hands down thee best! My mouth is watering just recalling the melt in your mouth, buttery deliciousness of the marrow sitting on top. Loved the salsa sampler they brought to the table. The depths of flavor and heat were a fabulous compliment to the food. I've seen mixed reviews about La Lupita. I happen to agree with the most positive recounts. Every single staff member from the host to the waiters to the other servers walking around were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall A+ experience. Drinks and food were delicious. And we truly enjoyed ourselves. Will be back on a return trip!

    Fun spot for unique / creative tacos and good vibes! I really enjoyed some of the tacos, but there…read morewere also a few misses as well. We kicked off our dinner with a complimentary cup of broth which was delicious and very umami. Then we got the crunchy volcano off of the appetizer menu plus a variety of tacos: santo pastor, cheese crust pastor, Nayarit style fish, duck with mole, and beef fillet & bone marrow. Out of everything we tried, the beef fillet & bone marrow was a definite highlight -- the addition of the bone marrow adds so much richness and flavor! Other than that, I did enjoy the crunchy volcano tostada and both of the pastor tacos, plus my husband absolutely LOVED the cheese crust pastor! The biggest miss in my opinion was the duck with mole, as I wasn't a huge fan of the hibiscus compote it comes with... After we had our fill of tacos, we ended our dinner with the flan. It was good but the texture was more akin to that of a cheesecake than a typical flan (more dense). Overall it was nice to try the food here, but I did prefer the tacos at Tacos Gardenias!

    Went there for a late lunch. It was not very busy. Service was very prompt and friendly…read more Food was excellent, including some great vegetarian options. They even offered us some complimentary chips and a variety of fresh and tasty salsas. The cactus tacos and guacamole was also nice. They had nice decor and wall artwork that added to the charm. Would recommend stopping by for a taco or two if you're in the area.

    Wow! What a great experience we had at La Lupita Taco and Mezcal…read more This is a taco place. Don't expect any else on the menu except soup & salad and a couple of apps & sides. There is an indoor area or outside courtyard you can choose from. We had the pleasure of working with several Staff members including our main waiter, Marco as well as Ivan and Miriam. They were all so fun and attentive. They brought us a small serving of soup as an appetizer. My husband had a taste of the tortilla broth which had a little kick to it and I had the bean soup. Both were a nice sampling of the soup they offered. We ordered the chips & huac to start. The chips were thick and crispy. The guacamole tasted super fresh and bright. Now, the tacos are some of the best tacos we've ever eaten in MX or the US. The creativity and variety of toppings were outstanding. I really enjoyed the EL TAKESHI 190MX Rib Eye, Sesame, Hoisin, Ginger, Chives, Crispy Shallots, Flour tortilla. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavor they developed was delicious. I also ordered the MEXICAN FLANK STEAK $150MX. Fresh Chiapas Cheese , Arugula, Crispy Leek & Potato, Macha Sauce, Yellow Corn tortillas. All these flavors worked so well together. One of the tastiest tacos they have on the menu is a cheese based tortilla taco called CHEESE CRUST PASTOR $100MX. Talk about a flavor bomb. Marinated Pork, Asadero Cheese Crust, Cilantro, Onion, Pineapple. My husband also ordered the CHIPOTLE SHRIMP $165MX. Shrimp, Chipotle Cream, fried parsley, flour tortilla. He loved it. For my Arizona friends, they will be opening a Scottsdale location in 2027. I can wait. Add this to your must try restaurants. Also, they just opened a location in Dallas Texas.
