3.75 My husband and I were in the Cedar Park area and met up with some friends for lunch. We decided on Lupe Tortilla. There was a large parking lot with plenty of parking but we went around 11:15 am before the lunch rush. When we walked in we were greeted and then told to wait briefly so that they could get a server. As I looked around I noticed that the restaurant has a lot of space for dining and a big bar area. About 5 minutes later they seated us. Within a few minutes our waiter came over and took our drink orders. He did a good job throughout with a little help as the lunch rush was occurring. After bringing us our drinks he brought us some tortilla chips, salsa, and charro beans to snack on. The tortilla chips were crispy and light with little salt. The charro beans are my favorite because they are so flavorful. I ordered the Chicken Burrito which is a tortilla with grilled chicken, jack cheese and green tomatillo sauce. They put tomatoes, lettuce, and onions on one side of the burrito and rice and refried beans on the other side. The burrito was good. The chicken in the burrito was tender. What really made the dish flavorful was the tomatillo sauce. The rice and refried beans were okay. It was a decent lunch with friends. read more

This rating is for "take away" curbside service. Twice I have ordered from this location and have received an incorrect order. First time...ordered beef fajita taco salad and got a drenched ground beef salad. If you go to Lupe...you know the fajita beef is diff from ground beef. The price certainly reflected that as well. Yes....I should have checked my order before I left for those that may say it....but really...it would be a marvelous day to order something, pick it up, and actual get what you ordered. 2nd time I thought would be a charm. I ordered the beef fajitas....in prioritization of what could go wrong...I thought if I order beef fajitas that surely I would get beef fajita. I did check the bag, looked in and saw fajita meat. Got home, opened the container...and was like "Where's the beef?".....OK, so I am dating myself but seriously...there was only a few pieces of beef and the rest was....CHICKEN!!! I am starting to think the LUPE heart gods don't want me eating beef. I called and the manager did adjust the price and refund the diff between the beef fajitas and a beef / chicken fajita combo....oh and they threw in my soup for free. Yes, I still rated three stars because the three pieces I got were delicious. LMAO! Long review Long....don't get take away.... read more

I went for brunch on a Sunday with my toddler, my best friend, and her dog. It was surprisingly slow, so the sweet and friendly hostess sat us immediately on the patio (which we obviously requested). Our server Ari was incredibly attentive and amazing. The food and drinks we ordered were delicious and refreshing. Highly recommend the breakfast nachos, btw- even my picky toddler loved them. The ONLY reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because of one specific individual. I'm fairly sure this was a BOH manager, and he needs to stay in the BOH. He came out to ask us how our meal was, and when my bestie replied that it was awesome and our server is fantastic and deserves a raise (common praise coming from most people), he proceeded to get verbally aggressive with her and was apparently offended by her comment. That definitely did not sit right with either of us, nor did his dry and rudely stated comment of "if you think she's so great then you should tip her more"- implying that we hadn't tipped her enough when we hadn't even gotten our checks yet because we weren't finished eating. Ari, if you see this, you're incredible at what you do, and your fun and spunky personality really made our experience a positive one. If we return, we will absolutely be requesting you specifically. You deserved fully that $20 tip I left on our $50 tab. And I'm so sorry that you have to work with someone who doesn't know how to speak to people or how to accept positive feedback on the staff without getting weirdly angry over it. Btw, your eye makeup was absolutely gorgeous! Give your doggo love from us! read more

My husband and I ate at Lupe Tortilla on the evening of June 30. I ordered chicken torillas. He ordered Steak Fajita's . By the end of the night it was apparent I had food poisoning. I went to Cedar Park Regional Hospital ER and the doctor admitted me for four nights. It has taken me three weeks to recover from this experience! I've lost ovet ten pounds and just now able to eat solid foods. That's PSA for this resturant. read more

The food was really good. The service was nice. The floors were a bit sticky but other than that it was OK.

Didn't have as great of service this time but the food was still on point! I'm just going to assume it was an off day. Will always be back! read more

My parents and I went to Lupe Tortilla for the first time on a Sunday evening. It was super busy and had a 40-45 minute wait when we arrived. We didn't realize this until we were already there but you can actually see the live wait times and add yourself to the waitlist from their website before hand! We will do this next time for sure. After waiting for about 25 mins we noticed that the outdoor area had some empty tables and checked back in with the host, he happily double checked and seated us out there moments later. The server, Stacey, was so happy, nice and honest! She gave us great recommendations and was super knowledgeable about the menu. Also, she made sure we were never short of chips or salsa (they also bring beans but they have pork in them so we didn't try them). For our appetizer, we chose to start with the chicken flautas (which is actually an entree). They were awesome. The flautas came with queso, sour cream, guac and a side of beans which we substituted for a side salad ($up charge) which had the tastiest lime vinaigrette dressing! For dinner, my dad had spicy red chicken enchiladas and a crispy chicken taco. The spicy red sauce wasn't too spicy but had good flavor, he added the red salsa that came with our chips to his meal too. My mom and I shared the spinach and artichoke enchiladas that came with a red pepper sauce on top. SO good. In fact, I'd say they were better than any other vegetarian (and most chicken) enchiladas I've had. Both of our entrees came with rice and beans (all beans except for black have meat in them fyi). The black beans had a nice flavor, little spicy but very good. For dessert we had one regular flan and one of their seasonal pumpkin spice flans. Wow! Both were so good. My dad liked his flan so much he took one to go for later. Personally, I preferred the pumpkin flan. The pumpkin flavor was great. It was the perfect ratio of pumpkin and flan flavors. Highly recommend! Also, I had a Mexican martini (or two) with salt and it was super tasty. I would definitely get it again. All in all, fantastic experience! read more

The best chicken fajitas in Texas...or actually anywhere (and I travel ALOT)! Service was OUTSTANDING provided by Ethan.

Love the chicken fajitas and table side guacamole! Portions are large - enough for two meals.

As always the fajitas were absolutely delicious! We also love their queso! Daniel is the BEST waiter! He's always so professional and knows exactly what we love to order and his service is always on point!! We are permanently customers for sure! read more

Granted we went on Mother's Day and it was very busy. Registered online prior to arriving. Checked in and they added another 20min to the wait. Why did I bother to register on line then ? Our waiter Henry was horrible. Our drink order did not come until we asked and our entrees were arriving then. We never received the tortillas and butter we asked for primo to the meal. Had to ask for any water refills. The quail was raw and the manager or lead argued and said this is how they are prepared. I'm sorry when there is blood present and the breast flesh is soft and boggy it is raw !!! Nothing was offered to be done or refunded. It was sooo disappointing. The waitress at the table next to us was outstanding. The food other than the quail was great. We went to get our next drink order at the bar ourselves. When paying the check it took over 15 min for that to get taken care of. The standards should not be broken just because you are busy. Thanks but not sure I will ever be back. 2 stars because the other food tasted great ! And I'm not a novice on cooking quail it's white meat ... your grill was too hot and the bacon was charred the quail did not cook sufficiently! This South Texas girl knows how to cook and used to have her own business. read more

Victoria was amazing!. She was efficient and attentive even though she had a busy section. Her knowledge of the menu and food and her friendly attitude made choosing an option easier. She gave great recommendations and answered all my questions. I came during the lunch rush and she still did multiple tables checks and made sure everything was to my satisfaction. It was my first time at the restaurant and if I never had the food I would come back just because of her. But, to add a nice cherry on top, the food was amazing! It was flavorful and because it was my first visit a manager came and gave a sample. I didn't get her name, but she was great too! I've already reached out to multiple colleagues and friends and let them know we will be dining here more often. Let Victoria know she was amazing and I look forward to her serving me again!

In town from Galveston because of a mandatory evacuation there. We have one of these on the island. I had the beef enchilada dinner (to go) with beans and rice. We also had the chicken tortilla soup. Everything was fantastic! Good job! read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Beef enchilada dinner - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Ok... there are a million sloppy Mexican restaurants around this area, no doubt. Their fajita beef is hands-down the best. PERIOD! Handmaid Margarita was on point and service was impeccable. All was far better than I planned on and that was a fantastic treat, and that's hard to get these days. Whoever owns the joint should have more people like Regina. Attentive, personable, polite and to the point but not overbearing. Great job! read more

DO NOT plan on this place catering for your event. They won't have your food ready and your entire company will be sitting waiting for you for 30 minutes. Quite disappointing! Not only that, but if you go to their pick up area, they have a number that's a land line & they won't ever come out to your car. Just don't waste your time. Food is great. Staff is horrible! read more

The ambiance is Lupe's Tortilla. As a frequent diner at various locations I was ecstatic to see this. Since the location is in the suburbs we anticipated a wait for a Saturday. The service was friendly and clearly overwhelmed. We planned to make the most of our booth and await to Lupe flavors that brought us in. The order wait time was an hour and the appetizer wait time 18 minutes. Upon arrival the sizzling fajitas captured us with its flavor and the classic large flour tortillas. We added stuffed crab shrimp and was disappointed as it was more of a sauce pour over. The fajitas did not have the tenderness and Lupe lime flavor we remembered but were fresh. The biggest shocker was the salsa...it was a blended salsa then the traditional chunky one we had prior. Even with the long wait time and changes the experience was good due to the continued communication by the staff. They even understaffed and overwhelmed were great about checking in and keeping us updated and made us feel attended to. read more

Long wait, ordered a coupe expensive margaritas at the bar, then had to bus our own table - bar staff was not attentive to their customers. When we asked for some chips with our drinks, we had a 45 minute wait for a dinner table, we were told that chips were only for customers who ordered dinner! This place is expensive, and there is better options... choose wisely. read more

I have never understood, lots of employees walking around doing seemingly nothing and the bartender, the busiest person right now, has to go get his own chips and salsa. So food may come right as we get chips read more

Food was good quality, this was my second time to one of them. Didn't have bad service or food but wasn't great. Would go again.

My husband and I have enjoyed Lupe's in Round Rock, but had not been to this location before. We loved their food, and mostly gone for their brunch on the weekends. We know they always get packed later in the day, so hard to go there for lunch or dinner, and most of time we have caught a seat in the bar area. Today, we had some time to spare, as my husband's car was getting worked on. They said it was going to be about a "30 min" wait. After 45 min, I went inside to check, and they said it should only be a few more minutes, unless we wanted outside. On this day, the wind was gusting pretty hard, so I declined. When I got the text that our table was ready, my husband complained a little, and they apologized, saying a few wait staff had called out, plus there normal "business" of a Saturday afternoon. They sat us in a table in the bar area. It was really packed all around us. You could see the bartenders never stopping for a second and the waiters always on the run. We had a great waitress named Darlie! For as busy as they were, again, surprised at that smiling face we got when we first sat. She got our drink order going with our chips, salsa and their BEANS (*which you have never had...they are the best charro beans you have ever had, and yes, you can just eat them with chips)!!! My husband got the chicken burrito and got the Nico combo, which is a taco, tamale (*which still don't understand in Texas why they make them skinny and small width), and cheese enchilada. Both came with rice and refried beans. He enjoyed his burrito, which he deemed small, with green verde sauce. My taco was best thing on the plate. The tamale was ok, but again small, and sauce on top did not add much too it. Was disappointed in the cheese enchilada, as cheese inside was still thick and not all the way melted. Beans were better then the rice. Not your traditional Mexican or Spanish rice. But, the service was "on point". Darlie checked on us frequently, and refiled my husband's drinks, and brought up fresh chips and MORE charro beans!! She was pleasant, even though you could see she was covering a large area. Other restaurants should take notice...even if short staffed...keep that smiling and patience going....your customers appreciate it! read more

The Mexican food was so delicious! You order the fajitas by the 1/2 lb, 1 lb 1 1/2lb. The steak is real thin and it's been marinated in lime. I usually only order chicken and shrimp fajitas because the steak is usually too chewy. Not here. The thin chips are served hot and they are so, so good!! They brought out a smoky salsa and beans to dip in. The chicken was juicy and good. Also the shrimp is large. I will go back every chance I get!! read more

The food is excellent (mostly). The exception being our takeout tonight included quail which was raw! The much bigger problem is the disorganization is ridiculous. You cannot get a reservation, you can only put your name on the waitlist via the website. That's fine expect that the wait time online is always wildly off from reality. Every single time we have come here we have put our name in, timed it so that we arrived right when our table should be ready and every single time we wait another 25-40 minutes after our table was supposed to be ready. Take-out is run just as poorly. Why they let you pick a time to pick up your order is beyond me as they will always be 20-30 minutes late with that. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Raw Quail appetizer - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

I ordered green enchiladas w tomatillo sauce. I can't eat spicy. This has always been the best creamy seasoned chicken enchiladas. Not any more by all means. The corn tortilla was a hard with plain shredded chicken topped with cheese and the so called tomatillo sauce was so spicy it was placed only at the ends of the enchiladas. The corn enchiladas should be lightly dipped in the Tomatillo sauce until soft then with seasoned chicken and covered in tomatillo sauce topped with cheese. And puffy tacos were not puffy. It's unfortunate because our tip is based on overall experience, taste quality effort put into making the dish not just the waiter's presentation . It appeared rushed to make and set and get out. Next. read more

Food is not bad but service is awful. Also very overpriced. Went here for a to go order which I had done plenty of times. Drove 20 minutes from Leander, picked up my order to find there were no sides. I called the restaurant since I paid $60 for 2 entrees and nachos and received barely any food. The nachos came with 12 chips for $10, would never get this again and seems like that is a common complaint at the chain as a whole. The manager at this location offered to comp just the sides, which I am sure is about $5 off a $20 entree, we will see what they comp. Ultimately the Lupe Chicken was 2 small pieces of chicken for $20 with no rice or beans. I can get over forgetting sides and small portions but the kicker was just the lack of service. I have had better service from fast food restaurants. Drove all the way there, spent $60 and was very underwhelmed. Will not be back. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Ahh - sad to report that Lupe was a total miss for lunch yesterday. They have been a staple on the lunch rotation spots - but not anymore. My buddy arrived first so I asked him to order for me - the big burrito. He called back to ask Chicken or Beef and I always go with the ground beef because I really enjoy how they season it. Forty-five minutes later my plate lands on the table in front of me. It is barely warm with the actual filling room temp at best. It is also the wrong meat. A gentleman who I think was the kitchen manager stops by our table to see how we are doing. I share that we come in fairly regularly and the food comes out pretty quick. He apologizes for the delay and I tell him I still have the wrong dish. He puts an order in for me right away for the beef. I also share that the waiter has been very attentive and doing a good job considering the kitchen has let him down. So the bill comes out and I was upcharged for some food I never ordered. That was fixed but there was no discounts or free beverage to account for my wait. My friend has to leave so he takes off. I am now waiting by myself. About 15 mins later, my food arrives and of course I have to take it in a to-go bag. I also had to call my boss and tell him I was running a bit late for our next phone call. So 90 mins from the initial order, I am taking my food home and with my busy afternoon, I wasn't able to eat it. My wife had already prepared dinner so now I hope to eat the burrito for lunch today - but I am sure it won't be as good as it was yesterday. Disappointed with the time, the food and the lack of accommodation. Lupe you are off my lunch list! read more

Not a good experience at all. Waitress was extremely dismissive and did not listen to details on our order at all. The food is overpriced and low quality. The only good thing are the fajitas. My friend order the stuffed crab avocado and the avocado was mostly brown with Peele left on it. i ordered salmon and it was overcooked and extremely dry. The waitress Anna was probably the worst I've had in a long time. After telling her I was ready to pay it took her 20mins to come back with a out checks. Then when we gave her our cards she took another 20 to come back. When I got up to look where she was I saw her talking to her friend at the bar barely swiping my card. Definitely not worth any wait to eat at Lupe. Go somewhere better like Mama Betty's the service AND food are good read more

I've been traveling for business quite a bit these last few weeks and I was craving a nice TexMex breakfast. I looked at reviews on line and realized I had not been to a Lupe's Tortilla in a very long time. I went for Sunday brunch at opening time when I knew it would not be crowded. I'd never had breakfast at Lupe's, and afterwards, I regretted not giving it a try. First of all, the service was excellent. The conscientious waitress checked back with me a couple times and it such a small thing, but not only did she give me lime with my iced tea, as I requested, she checked back to make sure I had refills and a to go cup of iced tea on a very hot September morning! I reviewed the Brunch menu while munching on a basket of fresh crisp chips and excellent salsa and decided on the Chilaquiles. I think it might generally be my favorite TexMex breakfast item when I am dining out for breakfast. I ordered the "mild" version and it was flavorful and delicious! It was delivered in a small cast iron skillet and had crisp tortilla ships at the bottom, roasted chicken, onions, a great tomatillo sauce (tangy but not too spicy), jack cheese, queso fresco, a fried egg and a dollop of fresh guacamole. It was served with yummy refried pinto beans and fried potatoes. I was not only pleased with the great blend of flavors, but loved the generous portion size! Half of it went home with me for a couple of excellent Monday morning flour tortillas (from HEB) chilaquiles tacos! Yummm. I can guarantee it won't be long before I find myself at a weekend brunch at Lupe's again! Good work, great food! read more

On a crowded Saturday, at 5:20, we arrived for a table for 6, were told 30 minutes, finally after 55 minutes, checked with the desk and whaddya know... table was ready. Service was slow. I think they were understaffed. THIS PLACE IS TOO LOUD FOR CONVERSATION. Food was mediocre. Carnita tacos: pork was in tiny cubes, overcooked. Corn chips were those very thin kind that break when you try to scoop guacamole. Appetizer pork ribs were tasty, though. Did I say the place is NOISY? Not going back. read more

Could be so much better.. used to be. Consistently good food. Consistently bad service. Sit in bar for decent service:

Great portions with flavors galore. Fajitas are excellent and more than enough for leftovers.

Whatever time they tell you for a wait just double it and then add some. Food is not on par with the other locations.

I'm not the biggest Tex mex fan but this place is fantastic! The queso is very tasty and so is the chicken fajita. Probably not the best quality of meat, but a good meal nonetheless. I also had a margarita and it was very good as well. Great service and good food. This is a good place to come with friends. read more

Amazing ! You have to get the beef fajitas!!! They are the best I have ever had. I have been here many times and it never disappoints.

Came in a little over a week ago visiting from out of state. I have medical gluten-free needs and they were sort of able to accommodate that. My credit card ended up getting declined because the server put in my info wrong and that was not discovered till after I left the restaurant. When I went to go eat my leftovers, I realized there was a tiny black hair in my rice and that is not the color of my hair or anybody that I was with. Not sure I would go back. read more

I basically grew up on Lupe but this location has repeatedly let me down. Their staff is inconsistent and their food, hoping you can get the right dish, is pretty spotty too. Dealing with pickup is a total disaster and more times than not I am either missing something in the bag or got the completely wrong thing. Last time I ordered was quesadilla with beef and tacos Al Cabon, and queso to go, but yet what was brought out to me was 3 LB's of fajitas. We didn't realize this until we got home so we called the restaurant. I couldn't help but out myself in the shoes of the person who placed this order. Tons of food handed off to the wrong person. I've had this happen countless times at this location. It's a shame because lupes is so good when it's good. But the service and delivery is just so hit or miss for the price that at times it simply isn't worth it. read more

Chain or not a chain, if they give me good food and service, I'm happy. We went yesterday afternoon with our grandson. Short wait for a table, less time than they estimated. Our server, Jorge was there immediately. I owned and operated several restaurants in Massachusetts and I can tell you that Jorge is a true professional. We started with drinks and Queso. After a little time to decide, we placed our orders. Jorge was great with suggestions. The dinners came out in good time and quite hot. With so many places closed, we felt fortunate to have found this place not only open but doing a great job of taking care of their customers as well. Thanks Lupe Tortilla and Jorge read more

I happened to be in the area for car maintenance and was looking for a brunch spot nearby. My first three choices all had an hour's wait without a reservation, so we settled on Lupe Tortilla because we were hungry - not realizing it was a chain restaurant because we're new to Texas. They really go hard on the "Mexican interior decor" to try and sell their authenticity, despite playing Caribbean (specifically Dominican and Puerto Rican) music throughout our entire stay. The chilaquiles that I ordered barely had any chicken, was comprised of 75% soggy tortilla, with no hint of real flavor apart from the one spicy pepper placed on top. While their barbacoa benedict and coffee were alright, I definitely didn't feel good eating here when there are so many other Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants that offer much better food and are independently operated. read more

We won't be back. My husband love the beef fajitas and wanted to try it again. Very little alcohol in the Premium Margarita. Cold rice and beans. He ordered just the 9 piece of chipotle ribs to go and we were charged for the meal of the ribs with rice and beans. I wanted to get these things corrected but he just wanted to go and not return. Why has this location gone down so much? We live between this location and the one in Round Rock. If the same management covers both locations, I guess we'll be looking for a new weekly restaurant. The food and 1 Margarita was not inexpensive as it was 135.00 for a poor quality drink and wrong food for 2 people. The service from Gabe was the only thing good today. He was timely, but he couldn't make up for the rest. read more

Horrible experience. Customer service was terrible. Our table was forgotten and not attended to. We were also given DIRTY plates. Someone could've gotten sick! Spoke to a manager and we felt like we weren't taken seriously at all. We felt unwelcomed during our visit. Will not be back. read more
