Chanced upon Lupe Tortilla on a late Friday night around 10pm looking for a solid sit-down meal. We were greeted by our server, Santiago, and treated to a thoroughly exceptional meal. Santiago, upon hearing it was our first visit, insisted on providing us a sample of their famous beef fajitas and a serving of their delicious queso. The beef fajitas were so flavorful I changed my order to the Al carbon tacos with beef fajitas. My partner ordered the fajita burrito and was very pleased- the serving size is huge! The atmosphere is very fun, I recommend sitting on the patio if the weather permits. Pro tip- if you want a free serving of queso choose to sit at the bar! Overall- an exceptional meal with service akin to a 5-star restaurant. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a hearty meal. read more

nice ambiance and a relaxed, casual atmosphere. the salsa and pinto beans were both good, and the highlight of the meal was definitely the corn tortillas, very fluffy and fresh! the fajita beef and chicken were somewhat disappointing :/ it was room temp despite being on a sizzling plate, and the meat was dry and bland. service was also reaaallly slow read more

First time at this location, second time eating at a Lupe's, but the same result .. TOTALLY NASTY Mexican Food and a waste of money. Party of 4 and nobody enjoyed their food and service sucked.

I don't usually go to Lupe Tortilla because it a bit beyond my eating out budget, however, when we do go we get the beef fajitas. I've been disappointed with the chicken fajitas in the past but the beef doesn't miss. My family got the 1.5 LB beef fajitas and it came with a good sized portion of refried beans and rice. Getting seated took a while, though it was Saturday evening (7pm) and we had a party of about 15 adults and 3 children. Our server, Raymundo, was the best. He was quick and accurate. We also found out that he attends Texas State (Go Cats Go!). Inside of the restaurant, I felt that the music in our room was a too loud. I love hearing Christmas music in Español, however, not if it keeps me from hearing the guy seeing next to me. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - 1 1/2 LB Filet Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, typical ambiance for a Mexican restaurant.

Stopped by for happy hour and our server, Heylie was great! I was disappointed with the happy hour items. The menu seemed to be pretty limited and didn't include any snacks. The watermelon margarita on the rock was huge but so good. Presentation was pretty as well! We started off with the ground beef queso with guac and we wiped the bowl clean. For my entree, I went with the Crispy Beef Tacos and they definitely satisfied my craving. Portions were great and it was pretty good. We also ordered the chicken quesadillas with shrimp. They were good but were pretty thin. The restaurant is pretty clean and very lively! Check them out if you're craving Tex Mex near The Domain. read more

This is a great spot for tasty drinks and really good guacamole and chips. The service was incredible and the food did not disappoint. I had the puffy tacos with ground beef and I'm really glad I went with that choice. The atmosphere is nice and the vibes are chill. Parking was easy and the prices were very reasonable. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Puffy Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hello everyone. I have visited this restaurant countless times, but this was one of the instances where the waiter's service was absolutely terrible, The name is Lauren To begin with, it took a very long time for her to reach our table to take our drink orders. We ordered the steak and cheese dish; he brought it out very late, and it was cold. The tortillas were not served in a tortilla warmer, so they were cold and hard; I asked for fresh ones, but they never arrived. The food took over 30 minutes to come out--and it, too, was cold. Overall, the waiter showed a complete lack of interest in us. The service was abysmal, and the food was cold. If I could give zero stars, I would. I promise never to return to this location, completely unsatisfied and do not recommend this location. read more

Was wanting a breakfast burrito, but when I was the enchiladas with two eggs, I couldn't resist!! I swapped out the brisket for cheese due to tooth issues, and because all I can get in TN is blanco cheese. The meal was perfect! First were the chips with two dips, one of which was full of beans! My enchiladas came with potatoes! After I polished off the two enchiladas, I mixed the potatoes with the left over cheese and sauce! Just excellent! I had a taste of the beans, but was full at that point and I don't remember much about them. The staff was very friendly and the food was delivered hot! A nice surprise for a Saturday morning! read more

This used to be my go-to for tex mex, it was surprisingly the best in the area. But now I can't go anymore because they switched to serving their salsa cold!! Restaurant salsa should neverrrr be cold, especially theirs which is very peppery. Who wants a mouthful of cold tomatoes and onions? If they go back to serving it warm I'll happily return, but until then I'll be elsewhere. read more

Some of the best steak fajitas I've ever had great environment good personnel food is clean and taste amazing. I recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Love the food! usually have the combo fajitas and add a side of sausage. Portions are really large, and everything reheats well, enjoy the leftovers. Everything is really fresh and top quality. While everyone has always been friendly and helpful, Heylie has been our server the last couple of times and she's amazing. Always seems to be one step ahead of us and makes sure we have everything we need. She's the best. read more

Casa Do Brasil was closed so we went to Lupe Tortilla where Mimi's Cafe used to be located. I liked their chips as it tasted just like the chips at Chuy's. Customer service was good as the manager brought out two samples of beef fajitas. My girlfriend thought the beef was too chewy and spit it out. I thought it was chewy but not inedible. We both thought the beef fajitas were too spicy so I requested no Pico de gallo on my entree. It was perfect and I loved the lime marinade in the beef. The corn tortillas tasted like they were freshly made. I would come back and order the beef fajitas again. read more

I obviously once liked this restaurant, a great deal it seems, because I stop in every few months to see if they are still implementing an absurd and indefensible policy with regard to credit card security. A quick pop in for a drink at the bar this week confirmed YES they are; they will ask for the three digit CVV credit card security code (the one you may be asked to enter securely in an ONLINE encrypted purchase) and THEY WRITE IT ON THE SIGNED VOUCHER THEY RETAIN when they close your tab. Every time. I paid cash for my Margarita thanks. This obvious violation of credit card security for card-present transactions was explained to me by their manager as "we don't do EMV chips yet so this is for our protection" This is nonsense. The card is swiped--it is then part of a secured, validated, card-present signed-voucher transaction. Lupe's failure to provide Chip readers is simply their personal decision to take on that potential liability for a fake card (VERY rare) themselves a shift that occurred in 2015. Yelp will not allow me to post a photo here of credit card security standard practice (https://i.imgur.com/YQHQ1fd.jpg) that warns against sharing your three digit code in any cardpresent transaction so I'll just have to tell you again.: don't allow this. I run a restaurant and I ran one for 20 years without a chip reader and never once asked any customer for their three digit CVV security code. Nor has any restaurant I have EVER visited in any state (or any country for that matter) besides this one. So fair warning, they're still doing this. The chips and salsa kinda rock though, especially those hot beans. read more

We went to Lupe Tortilla for brunch on Saturday. The service was top notch from the greeter to our server Liandra. She was friendly, frank and accommodating. She always showed up to check in on us but did not hover! She even went and asked the kitchen and bar for some answers we asked for. It was refreshing to have such a genuine person! Our food was amazing we ordered the omelette with mushrooms, beans, corn and artichoke and were surprised the flavor was so good! We also ordered the 4 oz. carne asada w egg your way and it came out on a skillet grilled to perfection. Both plates came with home style potatoes and refried black beans both delicious. The tortilla that came with the carne asada was delicious big and homemade. For drinks I ordered the whipped capuchino with alcohol and we also had a coffee with Kahlua! Both so tasty! We forgot to take pictures but will next time we go cause this place will be visited again in the near future!! read more

Came here for a work lunch today and really enjoyed everything we tried. The service was great and they did an awesome job accommodating a large group. Our food came out pretty quickly and our waiter was on top of it when it came to refilling drinks and salsa. They brought out chips and salsa and beans when we sat down and both were great. We also got an order of queso for the table which was good. I got the chicken soft taco enchiladas, confusing name, but they were really good! Huge serving and had a ton of chicken in the enchiladas. Overall the restaurant was very nice and had good seating. Large parking lot out front which is always nice to find in Austin. Overall, would come here again! read more

We called ahead to ask if there was a wait for the patio. We were told it was completely empty - score! We are immunocompromised and don't eat indoors. When we got there they had no one assigned to the patio but the nice manager brought us water, chips, and salsa while they figured out the server situation out. We had a nice server who took good care of us (in turn we took very good care of her tip) and we enjoyed the food. For 4 of us (1 small kid) 1.5lbs of beef brisket was more than enough. Their tortillas are special. Next time I'll buy extra to take home. read more

I just had my birthday dinner here over the weekend and it went very well. I've come to Lupe's often, but it's been for a meal with maybe 1-2 other people. For my birthday however, we had 25 people in our group, and things went very well. The hosts were friendly when we arrived, the bartenders were informative and fast with getting our pre-dinner drinks out, our servers during dinner were incredible, and the kitchen staff got every request for appetizers and meals out promptly. They were quite busy for a Sunday evening and you never would have guessed because of how attentive they were. I greatly look forward to my next visit. read more

Went to dine tonight at Lupe's. The waiter misunderstood my order. By the time my meal came around, my partner had already finished his meal. The point of having dinner with someone is to eat together which ruined the whole evening. Unfortunately, I had to take the meal home which was already expensive. I spoke to the manager who apologized but didn't seem concerned other than offer a dessert. I won't be returning. Please avoid eating here. I'll recommend to anyone not to eat there. So dissapointing! read more

Surprised to see lower scores for this place. As chain places go, my food was very tasty. I got the classic TexMex enchiladas and they did not disappoint. Certainly better than what I had at Matt's El Rancho. If you ever want to fully appreciate the tasty TexMex in Austin, try living in London for a while. When you back, Lupe will seem like a Michelin rated tour de force! read more

Tl;dr (for those corp people out there) the only thing worth having was the Fajitas. Atmosphere was nice. We sat outside. There were fans and a chill vibe. Staff: the only thing was they were nice. Not helpful or attentive. Just nice. Our waiter didn't really seem to pay attention to us and when he did he seemed uninterested. Most of the food was right, some mistakes, but overall just didn't care to spend time at our table. I'll stope there and not nitpick. Food: the only thing that tasted very good was the fajitas. Probably the best I ever had. Not the sides. Just the meat. The queso we ordered was bland, we got the large. The sides that came with the fajitas including the onions were all lacking. Rice and beans were a bit sub par. Tortillas were not bad I just didn't realize they would only be giving us Godzilla sized aka burrito style. I feel like there should be at least some warning so we were prepared. When asked if they had more normal size, they said no, and they would have to make them and charge us. If that's your thing, fine, just communicate it. We asked for ice cream for the kid at the table and it took a few rounds to actually get it. Clearly forgot about. Then when asked again, the waiter brought out a prepackaged container of bluebell. Not complaining about the type of ice cream, just on theme of the dinner. So overall. Eh. read more

If you want over seasoned and overpriced food go here. 2 people $70 left a little hungry and wasn't hungry when we went in.

Came here for lunch today and I will not be returning!! The customer service was great, our waitress was nice and the manager was friendly. Why I will never be coming back is because of the food. My friend ordered 2 tacos on flour, they came on corn. When asked for some flour tortillas they brought back 2 burritos tortillas. They also came covered in cheese with little meat. I ordered a small tortilla soup and I swear the chicken was undercooked, the soup also tasted funky... A manager was walking around so I gave him back the soup and he graciously took it off our bill and apologized. I also ordered an a la carte chicken and cheese enchilada and it was not good. We live in Texas and this was not good Mexican food. I hadn't been in years so I thought why not?! With all the options here, I will not be returning. read more

The corn and flour tortillas are really terrible here, but the lime pepper seasoning they use on the fajitas outweigh my distaste for them! Their beef fajitas are so bomb read more

Me and some buddies were looking to eat some delicious Mexican food and drink margaritas before our top golf DJ set. We waited to be sat for 40 min, 15 min to get our waters and chips, 20 min to get our drinks and appetizers. Our water was smoking crack or something. Lupe in westlake could never make me hate this chain, but the domain location could make a man go crazy. read more

Good quality food, but very disappointed. We ordered curbside again this evening and AGAIN the restaurant screwed up the order. This is probably the 3rd or 4th time in the last couple of years. The last time we ordered they completely messed up the order and that was April of 2024. This location just cannot do curbside/to go orders properly. There is just a complete lack of attention to detail. For $94 for a lb and a half of fajitas, you expect the order to be fulfilled thoroughly. Never again, at least from this location! read more

We had to wait to be seated due to a lack of servers. But it was only a few minutes. However this was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. I ordered egg tacos with avocado and asked to substitute the refried beans that it comes with. The server offered Mexican street corn as an option which was fine. For some reason my dish arrived several minutes after the rest of my party's dishes and there were the beans. The server apologized and said they'd bring out the corn shortly. It didn't arrive until after we all finished eating and it wasn't like anything I'd seen before. A charred ear of corn saturated with salt, broken in half with a dollop of tartar sauce? The corn itself was tasteless and the tacos had no seasoning at all. More apologizing and he comped my meal. But why come back for this? How do you mess up egg tacos? read more

Lupe tortilla is always a solid choice for Mexican food. We don't usually go on a weekday, so I felt it was worth a post. The lunch specials run until 4pm, and happy hour starts at 3pm. So if you can time it out right for a very late lunch or very early dinner, you can really maximize the specials and the deals! The large Ritas were only $10 on happy hour! read more

Definitely been a minutes since our last visit!! We were planning a lunch visit, but I seen they now offer brunch on the weekend...yes its been that long....we quickly changed our plans and with the GD in tow, we were off. Service was fantastic...Place is still looking the same inside, very clean as well...Almost positive this was there first location they opened in ATX....Breakfast menu is legit, with some great options. Of course Queso for breakfast is a must.....Wife went with the Chorizo tacos with potatoes only...tacos were huge, chorizo was great and not greasy....GD had the Praline Pancakes with some killer bacon...served rolled like enchiladas...they were light and fluffy and big....I went with the Barbacoa Benedict and it hit on a points for me. Overall a fantastic experience. read more

I have found this place to be a go to joint if I want to introduce someone to TexMex. The quality of food is good, menu has many options even for vegetarians and the service has always been very prompt. There have a full bar with many cocktail selection. There are few dining sections indoors where patrons can be seated along with the patio area which is decent in size. Check out their fajitas and enchiladas, both of them are classy with huge portion size. read more
