    Lupe tortilla is a solid Tex-Mex restaurant with multiple locations throughout the state. We got fajitas and queso and were not disappointed. The portion of the queso was large for the price and was a very good cheddar queso. There are better fajitas in Houston but these were still quite good. We had kind servers and enjoyed the atmosphere here. While Lupe Tortilla may not rank #1 on my Tex Mex list, I would certainly come back here. Note- parking was pretty crowded and hard to find a spot but there are some additional lots nearby

    Thinnest melt in your mouth chips plus our fave salsa with beans and best fresh house margarita anywhere!

    Service and lively fun atmosphere was excellent. Some of the food aspects were 5 star and others a 4- We are Houston natives so on visits, we nearly always go to our Fave, Lupe Tortilla on Southwest Fwy feeder near Academy near Greenbriar. This was our first to try Heights location and a brunch dish. The stars here are always the house margaritas: fresh lime, great portion in a chilled glass. Secondly the very thin and hot fresh chips or flour tortillas which always seemed freshly hand made. Be sure to note to get flour not corn tortillas with every dish! Also we love to mix their delish salsa with the small bowl of pinto beans together which results in a tasty hearty dip for the thin melt in your mouth chips! I tried the Egg Benedict Florentine dish. Very gourmet but I had a talk with the manager. The artichoke and spinach in the dish was barely discernible. The artichoke is just sauce and spinach was chopped into tiny pieces as a garnish on top. I think the dish needs chunks of both in the dish. The poached eggs sat on a lovely light tempura type fried green tomato or onion, but it was delish! The manager graciously sent me home with extra sauce and spinach, much appreciate! Hubby enjoyed his meal but egg chorizo taco was a little bland. It needed onions and garden peppers or something. Overall, just the salsa, chips and margaritas are worth a visit. There are locations around Houston but I can only vouch for these two!

    I could not believe my eyes, ...a restaurant open for business on the Sunday after storms had devastated Houston. I'd driven to or researched online sixed or so restaurants that were all closed (Sunday hours or no power). The wait for food was understandable long, as the restaurant was slammed with customers. But the workers were courteous and the food was good. We ordered Fajita Grandioso to go. Did I mention that the food was good? The flour tortillas provided the perfect wrap for shrimp poppers, beef and chicken fillers. I like mine with grilled onions and salsa, but there was guacamole, pico de gallo and grated cheddar for the more sophistocated palate. I also enjoyed the salsas (pinto bean & jalapeno, and red chile), rice and frijoles. I am glad that I've got a additional restaurant to visit in Houston.

    Ensalada Verde with Fajita Beef

    My favorite Tex-Mex place in Texas. I either order the Ensalada Verde with Fajita Beef, or the Mixed Grill (substitute with poblano chicken). Food is always amazing! I prefer the original salsa, so be sure to order that! Service is always fast and friendly. And the atmosphere of the restaurant is not stuffy....very inviting.

    My friend took me here for lunch. I was raised in Houston so when I come home from Vegas, I love to get good ribs and Mexican food. Oh this place did not disappoint. Service: just excellent. Everyone was so kind. I let them know I was a first time customer. The manager sent me a sample taste of the meat. She also stopped at our table to say hi. Hi, Charisma! It was so good that I literally fell over in the booth. . Morgan, our waitress was friendly and knowkedgeable. Thank you. Food: I ordered Tacos a Carbon. . The beef was so good! It was infused with lime. Oh WOW! Everything was fresh. The queso was fantastic! It had a warm corn accent flavor to me. CanI drink it? Ambiance: very nice. I felt like I was at a fancy place, yet it was casual. Finally: If you want some yummy Mexican food- go here. They have a nice size parking lot. Price is nice too. Enjoy! I will be back. I will be getting the fajitas 1lb my friend got.

    Great Food and service. Ate at the bar, and was taken care of. Charro beans were awesome, along with the Fajitas. Would highly recommend.

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!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.
