Visitors from Houston only wanted Lupe Tortilla ----and had a taste for the lime pepper fabulous marinade. This restaurant is always full close to any meal time in Houston or near The Woodlands in Shenandoah- Come early if you want to miss lines!! Not only are the fajitas a standout- both beef and chicken, but the gigantic handcrafted tortillas are amazing!! We love them. Do not miss the appetizer gratis spicy charro beans and the red warm salsa to treat your tastebuds while crunching on non greasy low sodium delicious chips- or put those appetizer charro spicy beans on your chips!! Yes. You will thank us for telling you about these memorable treats! You will be back, because there is plenty of seating- outside patio and roomy interior and because the items we love are incomparable at any other Tex- Mex and because the prices are much more reasonable than the other most popular Cantinas for high quality food and nice ambiance. Our service was adequate- the waitress forgot our necessary extra onions - the fajitas come with 4-5 segments of a little onion! And she forgot we were having a birthday celebration after the meal--oh, no!!! (The restaurant itself is attractive, but the area off Tamina Road on the other side of 45 is slightly inconvenient and nearby power lines and overgrown grass seem out of place near this nice restaurant.) read more

Never a disappointment when we decide to go to Lupe Tortilla for a meal. Had a friend visiting from out of town and requested Tex-mex and I knew we needed to stop here-- pretty reliable that you'll get good food and great service. We stopped by around 11:30am and seated with no wait. There's plenty of seats inside and some seating outside, but with the heat we definitely wanted to be seated indoors. Immediately our server Alex stopped by with chips, salsa and their bean dip/sauce. The chips were crispy and the salsa and bean dip were both well seasoned. We tried the Lupe frittata (which was okay, needed more salt and flavor) and 1/2 pound mix of chicken and beef fajitas. The flour tortillas are huge (more like a size of a burrito wrap) but definitely delicious. The fixings with the fajita mix is always a large amount. Definitely enough food to take home leftovers. We also got two margaritas- Texas Mex Madres (absolutely delicious) and the top shelf margarita. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - 1/2 pound beef and chicken fajitas, Lupe Frittata - Tex-Mex Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Lupe is a hit or miss when it comes to service but this place still has good food and drinks. There's always plenty of seating and barely any wait time. There's lots of decor everywhere and can be loud. Always get the fajitas here and margaritas. Those never fail. They have a frozen margarita flight as well and they have good combo plates to enjoy. The tacos were alright. Nothing amazing. A great place to take large parties and family friendly. The desserts are good. A more detailed review next time I come here. read more

First timer here-won't be my last! I love the atmosphere first of all-we are outside -I love the colors and the lights! Noah was our waiter and wow! Impeccable service-so friendly and personable! If we lived closer, I would definitely make sure I asked for him next time we went. Ordered the guacamole salad as an appetizer-can't even explain how good that was! Add the bacon!! We got beef fajitas with corn tortillas. Wow. Just wow! The beef was probably the best I ever had and I can say without a doubt-the corn tortillas were the best I've ever had! Everything was on point!! read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

I write this sitting at the bar, where I have been for over 30 minutes. I placed an order hours ago to pick up, and they are "still working on it". Credit to the bartender, he offered me a water and is a great conversationalist, but goodness how can a place that has such a busy to go area be this slow and unorganized. The manager asked me what I was waiting for, and went to check on it and hasn't been seen since. I love Lupe Tortilla but the service here, at least on the to go side is awful. read more

We eat at Lupe quite often, but we do occasionally order To-Go via their website. Buyers BEWARE, when you go to checkout their site AUTOMATICALLY ADDS A 25% TIP. You have to manually adjust this percentage or amount, as once you confirm payment there is no recourse. The to-go servers just told me that they don't have any control over this and they could not change it. VERY SNEAKY!! read more

Never go here for lunch. Not only will they get your order incorrect multiple times... they will take so long to correct it that the other mender of your party will have finished their meal and had it cleared before you receive yours. The manager, when he comes over "to apologize" will not actually apologize. And when you mention the other person has finished their meal, they will ask, "oh do you want me to cancel your order then?" No, that's not what i was saying, thanks. And when he brought the correct food, he asked if i wanted a to go box, I said yes and then he never returned. Then the original server dropped the bill, picked it up, and returned the cc and receipts without so much as a word, no "thank you", no "I'm so sorry about all that". Nothing. Like, basically threw it at our table. I really didn't expect a taco salad post lunchtime (1:30pm-3pm) to avoid traffic would have ended up being such a big deal. But apparently it was too much for this Lupe Tortilla. Ps... they did comp the fajita salad they failed to make correctly multiple times... let's just compare that to a Pappasito's who, a few months ago, comped our entire food bill, after some seating snafu... so, looks like Pappasito's is my go to now. read more

I like Lupe and it is great for family and friends gatherings . I think it it a bit messy and casual to be a business lunch location read more

I wouldn't recommend spending your time or money at Lupe Tortillas. My experience was disappointing from start to finish--the service was slow and inattentive, and the food didn't live up to expectations at all. For the price, I expected much better quality and flavor. Unfortunately, it just wasn't worth it. read more

Food was fantastic as well as the indoor/outdoor atmosphere. Had the fajita burrito and was way more than I could eat. Tasted great and absolutely recommend. read more

Went on Monday night: restaurant at most 75% full. Service was extremely slow and food was terrible. When it came out after over 30 minutes of waiting, it was cold. Like it had come out of refrigerator! Kitchen manager very nonchalantly said "sorry". I am a fairly regular Lupe customer but this was the worst experience I have ever had with Lupe, and they just didn't care!! I truly may not go back! read more

Over priced and slow service. Used to be the best fajita restaurant in Houston but they have lost their mojo. Sad down grade!

Food ok, but if you want to have a conversation with your party and gets almost closing time, expect the cleaning crew to shuffle and drag chairs screeching and echoing in the room drowning out any discussions or hearing you have with people. It seems this is a practice for customers to get out and management gives me the impression that they support this nuisance, even talked to the mgr. who was aware. read more

Been going to this location for over 20 years. Yesterday at 4:40pm a Rude hostess refused to seat us due to server shortage. There were only 5 tables occupied and 3 people at the bar. We sat at a high top table at the bar with our 8 yera old grandaughter for 10 minutes without anyone taking our order. Spoke to the manager who wanted to lecture me on my attitude and only give excuses...We will Never frequent this location again!! Horrible CUSTOMER SERVICE!! read more

I know this is a multi-unit operation but this location deserves a great review. The food comes out hot and right, the service is good, the portions and price are spot on. Management checks on you and everyone hustles. Some of these recipes are spot on and taste home cooked. For reliable Tex-Mex, tough to beat. read more

great food, must try the blood orange marg! Sofia provided amazing service yet again, thank you so much for your kindness and attentiveness. read more

Second time visiting here, love how fresh everything is. First time was so good we came back a few days later. Cheaper and better than Pappasitos too we've discovered. This time had some hiccups in service but the food was amazing read more

After numerous visits, I remember to leave some stars.... Lupe is always a good food choice. Food is made fresh when you order and it definitely shows. Our server Maysun was beyond fabulous with taking care of us. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Not one question we asked went unanswered and we love when this happens. The restaurant environment was great. Not too noisy as most places. We didn't have to scream and shout at each other. Pricing is not too bad for the portions. We were very pleased with everything. And last but not least, the bar tender that made our drinks, great job! We will be back! read more

We went to this establishment for my mom's birthday. It was a party of 12 and we waited about an hour to be seated. During this time we got drinks from the bar. After we were seated and ordered, we waited over an hour and a half for our food. Once when we got our food, we were missing essentials such as tortillas for fajitas.By the time we got tortillas, the food was cold. I stepped aside from the table and asked a host, who was out of uniform and technically off shift and only came up to help because of the lack of staff, to talk to a manager. That person then told me it would be "a while " to talk to somebody. I then went back to my table and continued to try and enjoy the rest of the evening with my family. However, everyone was disappointed with the overall service, not the server, but the experience. My family spends a good amount of money on to-go orders and business with this location. So, for my mom to have her birthday there with extremely sub-par experience, is frustrating. If someone in management had recognized the problem of being understaffed, it would've made the difference. Just sharing the disappointment. read more

The food was delicious. We had the Barbados Fajitas. Split between husband and myself and there was plenty left to take home.

Would prefer better drink and menu specials for Happy Hour. The service was decent but would not recommend for Happy Hour.

Very good brunch! Service was good and very affordable (brunch menu). Be careful about ordering anything spicy because this place knows how to do SPICY! I loved my chilaquiles and I can handle heat, but this spicy was very very spicy LOL. All our food was very good! We also got the guacamole salad appetizer but I forgot to take a pic :( sorry all! Definitely go and get there early. They have brunch from 9-2 Saturday and Sunday. We arrived at 11 and let at 1pm (we were ladies catching up and celebrating a birthday 3 of us) and they were on a wait when we left. read more

I've heard many of my friends rave and rant about this place but to me the food is fairly average. It's a good spot but I would not drive out of my way. Pros Service: My drink was never empty and our waiter was always on the ball with refills for chips/salsa. Environment: The layout and decor was great. You really felt like you were in a Mexican cafe. Location: Right off I-45 across from the woodlands mall Size of restaurant: This restaurant was quite large and would be great for medium sized parties (birthday, office, etc). Cons Price: I know inflation is a killer at the moment for everyone but to me you just don't get what you pay for here (portion wise). I felt like our plates were subsidized with the ridiculously sized tortillas. Tortillas: I've never been to a Tex mex or Mexican restaurant that served tortillas bigger than my physical dinner plate. It would be more practical to serve the standard size tortilla. Don't get me wrong they tasted great but too much went to waste. read more

A wonderful dining experience today at Lupe's! Great service from Zach- with a table full of hungry women he handled everything with kindness and professionalism! We all really enjoyed our lunch (especially the seafood tacos!) and appreciate all that Zach did to make our lunch enjoyable! read more

Best fajitas in the world! A tad bit overpriced if anything. Service is pretty good and the place is always packed. When I come back to Houston from Colorado, I'm always looking forward to getting LUPE. read more

So I walked expecting customer service. Smh was I wrong the girl that was a host was lost, I let her know I need a table she looked high and laughed at me. She kept giggling and her eyes were red. After 20 minutes of waiting they sit me there is this waiter fat white and bald very rood made me and my family feel uncomfortable...... I wish I can call the police on him. Rude nasty and felt he wanted to fight lmao. I complained the cook (fake chef) short with a beard said was being aggressive???? What ??? I never have had this problem in my life look at my reviews I'm honest and give dues where there due. read more

Food is always awesome but this location has serious issues. Bartender took my order AFTER I sat there for ten minutes and asked her if I can place my order. Fajitas arrived 45 minutes later!!! Go only if you have forever to grab lunch. read more

The food was good. Overpriced and the service was AWFUL! Here are two quotes from my experience last night: "You'll have to be patient we are really busy." We asked if we could take onions off a dish and our server said "Probably not." read more

Absolute must if you are visiting Houston. The best fajitas in town, and be sure to try the steak Lupe. Do not miss if you have not tried. . read more

So, got here 8 minutes prior my reservation. The hostess would tell me that since other people came before (regardless that i have a reservation) i would have to wait 30to 45 minutes. After 25 minutes they took us inside. The table cleanliness average low. Then the man with the order (cannot call him a waiter) order the beer. Took 20 minutes to bring it. I guess between harvesting the barley, etc it might be right. The food actually areivet after 90 minutes from order. To me 1 star is to generous, but those pseudo business cannot accept negative score. The food is decent (got just half of my sides but who cares at the end). Can anyone guess how much the tip would be? read more

Amazing beef fajitas. I have had beef fajitas all over Texas. These were the best, not even close. My new favorite! The refried beans were great! The rice was great! The handmade flour tortillas were huge, thin, and delicious. The veggies in the fajitas were well done, which is my preference. The meat was tender, flavorful, and tasty. My wife and I had the guacamole for an appetizer, she had beef and chicken fajitas, I had beef fajitas, and then we enjoyed some churros. Everything was great. 0 complaints. The service was great, even on a busy Friday night. The place was packed, we had a 15 minute wait, and our waitress did a great job. She continuously refilled our drinks, was prompt with her service, and cleared the table as we went. This was our first time at Lupe's and we will certainly return. read more

The only reason why I'm leaving a bad review is because of the DIFFERENT prices. I came to this location 2 days ago. I place a To-Go order with the exact items and they charge more. I ask the lady why is that. She said that's just how our To-Go menu is. All I have to say is pay attention to your receipts. read more

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - I showed the To-Go server the receipt and asked is this the exact items. She said yes. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

If I could give zero stars that what they deserve. We had a reservation for 6:30 pm. Receive 2 notifications first one at 4 pm stating that " the table is ready". Called them back and told them the reservation is for 6:30 pm. They said" is just a reminder , we know that. At 5 pm a second notification " the table is ready for you". Called them back again, the same story. We arrived at 6:20 and were told that we need to wait 45 mins since the tables were taken by people that checked in ahead of us. Another front desk lady said that she is the manager and since we did not put a deposit is not considered that we have a reservation. We remind them that was never mentioned the word deposit and after 45 minutes of waiting and other people that were coming were placed at the tables. We were set at the table, placed the orders and waited 75 minutes for the food to be brought to us. The food was acceptable but the fajita was dry and they forget to bring the side dishes . I will never go back to this place after this horrible experience. Don't recommend the pla read more

Very nice place. The food was amazing and service outstanding. I would definitely recommend.

Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant - Rapped beef fajitas - Tex-Mex Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

Great Mexican restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere! Lupe was a wonderful choice if you're going out for dinner and want a Mexican meal for a good price with great service! This is one of those restaurants where the whole family can agree that it was a good experience, good food and will come back again. *I was curious to try this place because it had less than four stars on Yelp but a lot of five stars on Google. I was not disappointed. Even though they were busy, we were seated quickly, brought chips and salsa and our server had a wonderful attitude! There were no disappointments choosing to come here. Our server was Austin and he greeted us promptly and went over the meal specials for dinner. He also asked if this was our first time here (which it was) and they offered a complimentary (small) sample of their steak fajitas which are fantastic! The tortilla chips , salsa and bean dip are so good! Even though the fajita samples were delicious, we opted for different meals: *The Nico *The Pablo Patron *Chicken burrito *Chicken quesadilla **all of the meals came with rice and refried beans* All of the meals were prepared & served quick and hot. Everything was served with fresh vegetables, guacamole, sour cream. One of the highlights of the meals were the tamales, which were some of the best that we've had at a restaurant. The customer service was great and very professional. It is also a self-evident that this is a well-managed and organized restaurant. That includes our server, the chefs and the cleaning crew. All tables were nice and clean and spacious. The bathrooms are also kept very clean and stocked. Overall, Lupe Tortilla earned a five star vote! The meals, the atmosphere and the service was stellar and made for a wonderful night out! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend! read more

Just got into in town for an industry conference that starts tomorrow. Lupe is a short walk from my hotel. The chips and salsa were great. One was bean and bacon based and the other was based on smoked or grilled tomatoes. For the entree went with the Lupe Chicken Tacos, which were excellent. Overall the food, service and ambiance were also in order. Seated quickly. Diet Coke didn't stay empty for long. Will visit again next year, and yes I would recommend to friends. read more
