    We have always loved coming to Lupe, but once I found out that you can get their flautas made with flour tortillas instead of corn... O-O.... my life changed and I will never have them any other way! If you've never tried them that way DO IT you won't regret it promise. The s service was great as always. If you're me for a quiet intimate place this really isn't it, this place is made for a fun time with friends, family or an after work get together.

    Chips, salsa verde and Charro beans to start off.

    This used to be our staple on the weekends. But they have changed the recipe somehow to some thing and every time I've gone back, I've gotten indigestion. Not sure if they're using palm oils, canola oils, soy oils?? but it's not agreeing with our bodies. Please revisit your ingredients list.

    I was very disappointed with this meal! I ordered the Pepper Shrimp Brochette; it read very yummy on the menu. But what came out was a shrimp that was so small that the meal looked and tasted like bacon wrapped in cheese. And even with the bacon and cheese, the flavor was lackluster. The dish was 25 dollars; maybe three jumbo shrimp would have been better with some flavor. Sometimes, you have to get heavy-handed when putting on the spices. But the service was on point, and it's a really pretty place. I loved all the pictures on the wall, the bar area was really nice with lots of seating, which probably make for a great time with the girls.

    June1,2024: The food suck beef fajitas dry no lime flavoring like their other locations frozen margarita not very frozen and they had at least ONE COCKROACH running across the floor under booths that I saw. I WONT NEVER COME BACK TO THIS LOCATION ITS THE SECOND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR FOOD SUCK. MOST OF THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS HAVE GREAT TASTE AND TENDERNESS IN THE BEEF FAJITAS . Which the manger was informed about the issues and offered to remake my food which I said no because if it's suck then it's gonna suck again remaking.

    This is the reason I come here and this location has messed up on this order so many times but new management completely killed it this time. Food was hot tasted great, and our waitress "LA" very attentive to our needs. She was awesome and helped us place an order for a party we are having 3 days from now.

    Came here on a random week day as we are new to the neighborhood and wanted to try Tex-Mex. We walked in and were promptly greeted. The service was excellent. We ordered the Fajitas Grandioso, the Queso Flamiado, and a margarita for myself. I opted for the classic margarita because it was our first time here. It did not disappoint. It was huge! Almost two margaritas in one. The Queso Flamiado with corozo was great with the huge tortillas it came with. The Fajitas Grandioso included beef, chicken and bacon wrapped shrimp. The beef cooked perfectly that it melts in your mouth. The chicken also very good, was soft and lean. The bacon wrapped shrimp with cheese could have had the bacon cooked a bit more but next time I'll ask for those extra crispy. The dish also came with a side of rice, beans, guac, sour cream and cheese. Everything was great, except for the rice. Personally for me, it lacked flavor. No dessert as it was so much food. Great value for the price, both on drinks and food. I would recommend this place to family and friends looking for comfort food.

    Chef Jesse Juarez brought us out mini fajita tacos. Not sure why this place is getting bad reviews. Jesse makes sure they take care of you.

    I have to admit I am really shocked my epic review doesn't have any likes or any kind of traction. Lupe tortilla is my go to for beef fajitas in Houston Texas. You simply cannot beat them. They taste really good full of flavor and I just the best. The customer service is really good as well. I take several clients and vendors there and they absolutely love it. You cannot go wrong with this location. The management and waitstaff do a great job. They are definitely not the cheapest in town but you are paying for quality. I have over 11 pics from this location. Y'all need to show this review some love!! This should be review of the day lol. I have literally never had a bad meal here and will continue to give them my business. I do not agree with the low ratings for this spot. The food I is simply amazing.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

The restaurant has an intimate indoor space and adjacent covered patio. Both were already full when we arrived which created a lively atmosphere. The inside was so tasteful - small but moody and warm! I'd definitely recommend a reservation for the weekends! We started with the aguachile de camaron as a starter and WOW my husband cannot stop talking about this dish. The perfect blend of textures and flavors - this will be a must for us every visit. We have had our eyes on the 5-course Chef Tasting Menu for $49 + the optional beverage pairing for $30. The experience felt more than fair for the price, especially by Houston standards. Each course felt thoughtful and slightly boundary-pushing, yet really approachable. My partner and I have been on a bit of a mole kick recently, so were very excited for the hanger steak with truffle mole. It absolutely delivered and would love to order this again! We were also heavily drawn to the tuna tartare starter, masa cornbread, and tres leches. The wine and drink parings were perfect and not too fruity. The brut rose was a perfect way to start and I always love a mezcal cocktail. I highly recommend anyone visiting to start with this Tasting Menu and leave the stress in the hands of Chef Adrian Torres! We had the pleasure of chatting with him briefly after our meal and were so impressed with his story and clear excitement he brings. The rest of the staff were equally kind and really added to the evening! Side note: We had the pleasure to attend Maximo's Cinco de Mayo block party and were so impressed by the community involvement bringing in local vendors and live music. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this restaurant for future tasting menus and events.

It's definitely a smaller, cute neighborhood spot with a really fun vibe. The service was good. Our server was funny, attentive, and made the experience fun. We started with the "corn ribs" appetizer and WOW. Probably one of my favorite corn dishes I've had in a long time. So flavorful and addictive. We also got the "Tiradito de Hamachi" crudo, which was fresh and delicious! For the entree, my friend and I shared the tacos (which comes with your choice of 3). We added an extra taco to make it 4. I was genuinely shocked that the mushroom taco ended up being my favorite because I almost always prefer meat, but it was THAT good. The fried shrimp taco was also amazing. For dessert, we got the tres leches cake. I'm usually not a huge fan of strawberry or fruit toppings on desserts, but the cake itself was really, really good. I ended up just removing the strawberries and eating the cake, which was moist and flavorful. The only downside for me was the drinks. They looked larger than they actually were because of the glassware, and they tasted a little watered down. I had two, and they just weren't very strong or super flavorful. Other than that though, the food and service absolutely made up for it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

I prefer traditional homemade Mexican food but here we are. (Oh I googled and suggested this place lol) Went in for a team lunch on a Friday. Coworker's birthday lunch and she wanted Mexican. Party of 9 and we were seated promptly. They have a lunch menu and a happy hour as well as a full menu and full bar. The interior was nicely decorated. And open. There is bar seating and patio seating as well. Our waitress was Aisha and she was amazing. Friendly, helpful and patient. And able handle our large group and a few more tables with a smile. There were a variety of options. Salads, fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, etc. Also complimentary chips and salsa. My Order: chicken tortilla soup, lunch fajitas combo - chicken and beef. Chicken tortilla soup (3.5/5) - it was a bit salty for me but I am not a salt person so most things are salty to me; everyone else said it was tasty, there were tons of shredded chicken, avocado pieces, tortilla strips Fajitas - combo (4/5) - chicken was seasoned well and the beef (medium rare) was perfection and so tender and juicy, mexican rice was fluffy, and normally I would pass on the beans and get extra rice but my coworker suggested the charro beans and wow, that was a win - the seasoning was great, there were chunks of meat and the texture was nice, the only thing that could have been done better is the flour tortillas - they over-charred them making them too crispy and left them with a burnt taste. A couple of people got the elote salad and raved about it. So that will be a next time try. Def will be back. Everyone enjoyed their meals and some even ordered food to go. Would recommend.
