    It's been awhile since we dined at Lupes. It felt like the food wasn't as good as before. Maybe mgmt changed. It was still good but it just felt bland & meh. Our server Elmer was great. He checked on us multiple times. Super nice & attentive. The manager also was nice. He checked on our food if everything was okay. I also noticed lots if empty tables on a Saturday brunch crowd. We used to add our names on a waitlist. Maybe I'll give Lupes another chance for Brunch.

    This was my first visit here. Upon entering I love the Mexican aesthetics in the decor and the music. Great Tex-Mex ambiance. The hostess greeted us and took us to our seat. Our server came by immediately. She took our drink orders and brought the chips, salsa, and churro beans. The chips, salsa, & charro beans were really good so we were off to a great start. We finished our dips completely. I ordered the shrimp poblano enchiladas with the refried beans and rice. My guest had the chicken and cheese enchiladas. My enchilada was ok. Not bad but not great. I don't think the flavor was that spectacular to be one of the more expensive enchiladas. I only finished one and took the rest home. Our server was very attentive and checked in on us often. When we left we saw that they had free ice cream coupons at the hostess stand. I wished they had given us one so we could have tried it. Over I would probably try them out again.

    Okay, I'm glad I came in today.I'm glad i'm glad , I did not at the bar. But.I must say., when i saw Khloe at the front door, she was so refreshing and amazing as well, and she was so full of life , fun, and energy. SHE was a great hire by this establishment.The Visit already started off better than the last time I was here a few weeks ago sitting at the bar. My server Ariel had an amazing smile and a great personality. Her professionalism was perfect for a guy who had a hard day with his father at a care facility dealing with dementia.. My carne asada, extreme or amazing.The steak was very flavorable and tender, and the shrimp big as always and dipping them in the butter sauce gives new meaning to the word GOOD. If I had to Say anything was lacking it would have been the Frozen strawberry margarita. . The drink was almost halfway melted down when it got to the table. You could not tell until after about 2 minutes Great job Lupe... T.

    Pablo combo togo. Tamale, 2 enchiladas, taco, charo beans, rice, guac, chips & salsa. $20.

    I ordered The Pablo togo from here and everything tasted great. The prices are a great value for high quality food and my order was packaged well and nothing leaked. What more can you ask for?

    This was the Lupe location that we went to growing up; I haven't been back in over 10 years. Decided to go eat out with the family on a Sunday night and wanted to go down to ole Lupe's again. Located alongside 59, it's a bit difficult getting in and out of this location due to proximity to the feeder road and associated traffic. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was very attentive and on top of refilling water, chips, and salsa so that was great. I'm a big fan of the charro beans from here and they're good; not as great as I remember because it feels like there is less pork/ meat in the stewed beans. The overall flavor is about the same but definitely is missing the chunks of meat and veggie that I remember. Their chips are usually pretty crispy and hot and this was no exception. We ordered the 1-1/2 pound mixed chicken and beef fajitas for the table. It came with all of the sides and fixings; a side of guac and salsa, rice, and beans. The actually skillet was extremely disappointing. The beef was probably the worst I've had in Houston; everyone at the table had these super chewy and inedible beef pieces; I'm not really sure what kind of beef it was. The other beef slices barely resemble fajita meat and looked like someone chewed on them, honestly. The chicken looked and tasted fine but the beef was a complete disaster. I've been to multiple other Lupe locations in Houston in the past year and have ordered the same thing and have never seen this crap quality of beef that we were served. The grilled onions were also disappointing, and probably the smallest amount of onions I've seen for a family sized fajita platter. The amount we got was probably less than what you expect for a 1/2 pound platter. For $80 for the dish, we expected real beef that is tender and marinated, instead, what we received was for the most part completely inedible and unidentifiable. Compared with its other locations and any El Tiempo or OG Ninfa's, this was in the double A / minor leagues unfortunately. Overall, the service was great and the food was a complete letdown, which is a first for me at Lupe Tortilla. We won't be going to this location going forward and it'll just be good childhood memories for this spot!

    Fajita
    Faith S.

    Ordered fajitas (which were delicious) they ask flour or corn tortillas I say flour.. THEY GIVE ME CORN! One of the workers stared into the void for a solid 10 minutes before coming up behind me and bumping into my chair. Oh and it's really dark and that's annoying too. But the waiter serving me was really pleasant so that's good

    Blubbery pomegranate margarita
    Kristin J.

    I absolutely love this place. The service, atmosphere and food is amazing. Its is my go to Mexican food place! I just tried this blueberry pomegranate margarita and fell in love. It's one of the best margaritas I have ever had and such a unique flavor.

    Ribs
    Christopher C.

    Great-- phenomenal service. It was a pleasure to have multiple people check in us throughout the meal. I'd recommend coming to this location specifically! Food: Al Cabon is great: two chicken tacos with a side of rice, beans, queso, and guac. You cannot beat it. The appetizer ribs were also pleasantly good. Tip well! They deserve it here. Cheers!

    The drinks were really really good, but the one thing that stood out to me was that they give you charro beans with the chips and salsa. They were delicious by the way! The food was good, but if you order the fajitas make sure you request the temp you want your meet cooked at. The rice had a slight spice, but it was slightly hard. Our waitress was amazing, she was very attentive. The restaurant had a great ambiance. Very chill environment

    Ask the Community - Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant

    Do the Fajitas come with free refillable sides, like extra rice, quac, and tortillas? Last time I went, they didn't charge us extra and we asked for a lot of refills. But I read some reviews, and other people said they got charged.

    I think their normal practice is to charge for extra sides - however I personally have never been charged for anything extra when I asked for it. I guess it depends on your…

The chips were fresh and the salsa had a nice flavor definitely a great way to kick off the meal. I ordered the strawberry margarita and it was refreshing, smooth, and hit the spot! We also tried the queso. It was okay, but if you're looking for a more traditional Mexican-style queso, just know this one leans more toward the Velveeta-style cheese dip. My niece ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and gave them a thumbs up! She said they were flavorful and really enjoyed them. (No picture) The atmosphere was a highlight for me. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio overlooks the lake, creating a relaxing vibe that's perfect for enjoying a meal and drinks. A special shoutout to our server, Jeanette (I believe that was her name)! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Overall, this is a really nice spot with good food, great service, and beautiful views. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. I've got my eye on the octopus next time! I'll keep y'all posted. #LoveJonesEats

    Great Mexican restaurant!…read more We ordered the el molcajete, port carnitas tacos and steak and shrimp with a couple of margaritas and I have to say , I was very very pleased with our meals. Since moving here to Texas it has been quite difficult to find a restaurant that serves meals outside of Tex Mex . Something told us to explore the area a bit more and thankfully we did ! El fogon has been one of the most authentic Mexican restaurant we've had so far. In the month of May, my husband and I have ate here twice and every plate that we've ordered have been incredibly delicious. The meats are very tender & seasoned extremely well. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for dishes outside of the typical Tex mex. The menu has so many options and everything looks and smells so good. Their margaritas are made very well which is a bonus! I appreciate the assortment of seating (booths , patio ,tables & bar top ). I loved the decor and cleanliness. Our service each time has been top tier. The staff is friendly , fast and accommodating. Based on our experience both times, we are definitely returning and encouraging friends to try. I am ready to return already. Yum !

    My family and I had been at this place for a while, and it doesn't disappoint…read more There are two sections that I can tell, one with a bar and one without one. I believe they have a private dinning area too (one of the school events happen there). It's a very colorful place and has an inviting atmosphere. The bar has a bunch of TVs, for those who want to catch the game. The food honestly looks average, but the taste is delicious. It's also vegetarian friendly. My wife, the vegetarian, asked if they can customize the Tex-Mex Enchiladas (instead of the plain cheese version), and they did. They made her a spinach and cheese, and she loved it. Two of their bean choices were vegetarian (not the charro beans which has bacon), and I think they had two vegetarian rice option too (no meat broth added). My oldest got the stuff avocado with chicken, which she liked a lot. My younger kids got the chicken nuggets, which kept them happy. I got the Ivannita, which is a little bit of everything. If you are hungry, this is a good option, as the Crispy Beef Taco comes out first. The taco shell was freshly fried. They use to have a free ice cream section, where you can get a mini cone with soft serve, but it's not there anymore. :( Overall, this is a great place to eat at with the family.

    Great local establishment for Tex-Mex in the Missouri city area…read more Super friendly service, great food! Fajita plates too was excellent Only downside was the soft serve machine was down
