    I've heard great things about this place, and finally got to go. It did NOT disappoint at all, in fact it was probably the best customer service I have ever experienced. Our waiter, Ryan, was friendly and seemed happy, which is what you want your employees to have when they work. Since it was my first time here, they brought me some sample tacos to try, and the manager brought them. He was so kind, and again, he looked like he enjoyed being there, and had a nice appreciation for food, which I love. The tortillas are HUGE and buttery, they absolutely melt in your mouth. The beef fajitas are amazing, and the beef is perfect. Most places, the beef is tough and hard the chew, but this beef caused no struggle at all. This is by far the best Mexican food I've ever had, with the best workers there. If you're thinking about going here, you will not be disappointed!!

    Steak was great very tender ! Service was more than exceptional went beyond to help! Restaurant was very calm and traditional. Only reason I gave it a 4 star was they used to have a Green Serrano sauce that used to make the fajita over the top.But last time we went for some reason the waiter said they got rid of it.

    This was very tasty. We had dinner here on our first night in town, my boyfriend used to go here when he lived in Houston. We weren't super hungry so we split the tableside guacamole and a half-pound order of the fajitas with steak and chicken. I've only had guacamole made tableside maybe one other time, and it was a treat. The fajitas were also very tasty, though I'll caution that the tomatoes they serve with them are pretty spicy. My boyfriend actually forgot his credit card there that night and we called the next night to see if they had it - they did, in their safe, and we were able to stop by at 930pm the next night, even though they closed at 9pm, which was excellent customer service IMO. Overall a very tasty place and I'd come back again when in town, I believe they have a few locations, too.

    Lupe Tortilla, I'm about to put you back on my do not eat list! I should've been done with you when I received pink chicken 2 years ago. I specifically asked for made to order fresh fajitas when I placed my order from your togo parking area. My order came out and my chicken and steak fajitas registered at 96 to 98 degrees according to my thermal temperature gauge. I wanted my togo fajitas to hot as if I was dining in at your restaurant, and they come to me sizzling hot! I sent the fajitas back and requested hot fajitas and you guys put the same fajitas in the microwave or back on the grill which somewhat dried them out! After waiting in my car for about 10 minutes they came back out. Yes they were hot and steam was coming from the container. It registered at 135 degrees, but when I got home the chicken was dry. The beef was somewhat dry but not dry as the chicken. That was very tacky that you microwaved or tossed the items back on the grill! Caroline was very polite and understanding and she did her job. 3 of the 4 Tortillas we severely overcooked. Not good!

    Birthday!

    Their brunch is amazing and I don't come here for brunch enough. Everything from the huevos rancheros, pancakes, and my favorite the enchiladas and eggs are all divine. Their iced coffee is pretty tasty too! We come here often and I can honestly say I have never had bad service or a bad meal here. My daughters absolutely love coming to Lupe Tortilla and my oldest just turned five and requested coming here just so they could sing her happy birthday. Our waitress was so amazing she got everyone to come out and they put the hat on her and my daughter was so overjoyed! Thank you so much for making my baby's day so special!

There is Loteria nights and they announce this on their social media. All the staff are super friendly and attentive. If you need help anyone will help you. Restaurant is spacious indoor and also has a huge outdoor covered patio with fans and also an open patio. For their events I have been to Loteria nights and they give out prizes, it's fun while you grab a bite or a drink. They also have events where they bring in tequila brands and you can do free tastings of tequila! You meet the tequila brands ambassadors and learn about their brand. A great fun time during the week. A perfect spot for weekend drinks and Tex Mex food. My family and I love this spot and if you haven't been definitely stop by.

We did have to ask for a bit of cleanup around our table from the previous guests, but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't a major issue and was taken care of promptly. The food was very good and lived up to expectations. My only disappointment was the Bloody Maria, which wasn't seasoned properly and lacked the balance and depth of flavour I was hoping for. Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.

Neither one of us had eaten and we were both starving. We had decided that when I was released we would just go to the restaurant that was in the same parking lot as the facility. I had been to the restaurant before, had fajitas and they were served bloody raw and was just disgusting so I Never went back. We mentioned where we were planning to go to some of the staff members and they said do not go there and that it was too expensive for the type of Mexican food that they serve you. Then they all suggested Maria Rita's. My wife and I had never heard of it before so we asked where it was and it was located 2min down the street. When we got there it was packed, but we decided to thug it out and wait for a table, this also gave us time to troll the parking lot and land a killer parking spot as people left. We finally got the notice that our table was ready. The inside was clean, awesome and had a savory aroma mixed with a Smokey grill Oder that just made us even more hungry than we already were. We both ordered this dish that came with fajitas and bacon wrapped shrimp with a cheese sauce that was Truly Amazing! When I finally was able to take a bite of one of the four gigantic shrimp after I completely destroyed my fajitas, I thought that I was going to pass out from the ecstasy that the flavor profile from that shrimp that overwhelmed my senses! We both enjoyed our meal,(obviously) and I can't end this review without mentioning how attentive, nice and unexpected table side manor that the staff had displayed despite being overwhelmed with a full house crowd. A truly epic experience. Please dig deep for a tip, they deserve it. Enjoy!!

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
