This place is real Mexican food cooked my moms! This is NOT southwest (but you can order anything with green or red), this is not TX-MEX. This is Mexican! I've had the langua taco (not the best I've had, but still very good) and carnitas taco! I've also had the breakfast burritos and the chorizo with egg was excellent!!) They are known for serving entire meals in large sized molcajetes. This is obviously homemade, family owned, and a great little hole in the wall place that will meet your real Mexican food fix in the overflowing seas of southwest Mexican restaurants of Albuquerque! read more

Lupe's Antojitos - Homemade, family owned, and a great little hole in the wall place that will meet your real Mexican food fix! - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

Yum-my! A little hard to find in the middle of a strip center, since it's small and its sign is not lit, but so worth it. Attached is a pic of molcajetes plate, but I had the spicy shrimp in a red sauce with fries, rice, salad, and excellent fresh-made corn tortillas. Our table also enjoyed tacos al pastor and a combination plate with steak and enchilada. Prices are very reasonable, service quick and efficient. They had run out of tea bags, but since I brought my own, they were happy to bring me a mug of hot water, which was indeed hot enough for brewing. And interesting Mexican candies to try afterward (no other desserts at present). read more

Lupe's Antojitos - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

First off, there's one review where the reviewer has them at three stars because he felt they were "over priced". I'm not quite sure what he considers over priced - they certainly fall far from this category. We eat here a couple times a month. The food is very authentic and quite delicious. The prices are sick low and let me explain. I can order three tacos, one chicken enchilada and a side of rice and beans. Someone else can order three tacos, a side of rice and beans...and a second basket of chips and salsa. You know what our bill was??? $15.60. Seriously??? If that's too expensive then try making that at home for that...lol. All things said - it's a little nugget In bernalillo. A town where there aren't many solid options unless you want to head over the Range or Flying Star... Two nice places to eat but certainly two places that truly do lean towards a "pricer" experience. read more

Passing through. Great food and service. Patient in explaining the different options. Gave excellent advice on the hotness of the different chile sauces. Had the Gorditas and the chilaqiles, excellent. read more

la comida está muy rica pero me parece de muy mal gusto que para comer en el establecimiento sirvan la comida en platos desechables la verdad me parece muy molesto por qué a veces al querer partir la comida con los cubiertos se rompe el plato deberían de hacer algo al respecto ojala salubridad pudiera poner una regla sobre no servir en platos desechables en los restaurantes read more

Not much to look at but definitely some of the best actual Mexican food in New Mexico. One cook and one waitress, so you may have to wait, but the food is worth it. Excellent flautas, superb chili relleno, sopes and carne asada. They also have excellent traditional mexican breakfasts. One of the few places you can get actual barbacoa in New Mexico. Try it. read more

Very Good Mexican in that part of Town , I've tried them all and this one is my go to , the waitress is such a sweetie and attentive and the mom is a great cook , best chips always fresh and crunchy, only thing is the style of the place is a little wonky , but it's mostly a place to go eat and leave read more

Authentic food and great service. The Chicken enchilada pollo with red sauce was wonderful. All the food is cooked fresh, green salsa with chips a must, and beans/rice were homemade. A great find after driving 12 hours hoping to find an authentic amazing Mexican restaurant... read more

Had a breakfast burrito and green chiliquiles. Very polite and quick survive. Very tasty food. Great last breakfast in NM!

Their pozole is our favorite! However, we also like their enchiladas, and burritos. The service, the food and the prices are excellent. I Highly recommend it! read more

This place is the REAL DEAL. The molcajete is worth the trip. The chips and salsa are authentic and spicy and crazy good. Nothing out of a can or a bag here. Amazing. read more

Hidden gem in Bernalillo, we went to Arables in Santa Fe the night before after seeing it on Diners Drive in's, and Dive's. We both preferred the meal we were served at Lupe's. We split the Molcajete and although it was more than enough for.both of us I overstuffed myself to finish it because it was so good. The tortillas were made in house and Oh so good. I wish we staying for another day so I could try out some more entrees. We definitely will on our next visit to the Albuquerque area. read more

Lupe's is an enjoyable family-owned restaurant where you feel like family. The food tastes like your abuelita made it because Lupe and her husband make the food themselves. The service is also the best, they're very friendly and will give you as much salsa and drink as you want. I usually get the taco plate with half asada and half pastor, and they've always been enjoyable. Lupe's prices are very reasonable and they have specials throughout the week that are a great bargain. This is a great place for lunch or dinner, and I've heard they have good breakfast too. Thank you, Lupe's! I'll be a regular forever whenever I'm craving tacos. Please stop in and support this family restaurant! You'll like it. :-) read more

Lupe's Antojitos - Asada and pastor taco plate. They give you a bowl of cilantro, onion, and sliced limes so that you can use as much as you want. - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

Amazing restaurant! We tried the Molcajete Lupe's because who doesn't want to eat a pile of meat? It exceeded expectations--the dish was large enough for two to share and arrived in a sizzling bowl filled to the brim with chicken, steak, pork, and cactus. This dish was our best meal on our NM trip. Come visit and order this dish, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Lupe's Antojitos - The Molcajete Lupe's special. JUST ORDER IT!! - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

Oh my gosh!! Where to start with this review...... Best tortillas Our family has ever eaten. Guacamole was wonderful, relleno was fantastic and the special with the chicken, pork, beef cactus and cheese was wish I lived around the corner, I'd eat here EVERY DAY! read more

Mediocre place for decent Michoacano Mexican food, not New Mexican. It's not as cheap as Tijuana but reasonable. Cheap specials are ok but there are some pricey plates, like chicken mole. Although the word "antojitos" is used for fast food, there are many dishes here that could serve as a main meal. For those people who are sensitive to food additives, preservatives, and other chemicals, be careful. It gave me a cough for an hour and not from the spice or seasonings. The food is certainly good and as spicy as you like it. Everything I tried used to be tasty. Recently, the food quality has dropped a tier. I got the chicken mole, which was once delicious. Well, the mole sauce was good but the chicken and rice were dry and the size was very small, quail-size chicken. There are lunch specials. Don't assume free refills of anything, always ask. The charge for seconds of chips and salsa and don't even fill up the first serving. Service was kind and quick on the first visit. But on the second visit, it was slow. Visit at your own risk but I'd say it's not worth it anymore. read more

We were so glad to read the reviews here and yes the food and service were AMAZING!! We would definitely come back. I ordered the Barbacoa and flavors were so delicious!! read more

Disappointed in the food. Wasn't tasty. Food was dry. If you're looking for hot chili this is not the place. Taste like tomato sauce.

Central Mexico flavors. The chicken mole is one of the best we've ever had. The Posole is red and super flavorful with lots of chicken in the broth. One of our favorite places in Bernalillo. read more

Wow!! We walked in to this family run business unknown to us at closing time. We were greeted with a big welcome smile and an awesome meal. Absolutely recommend!! read more

Drove all the way over here and the signed says closed. Need to update their hours to match online. Sincerely a sad hungry pregnant lady.

Love this place! We actually found it by accident one day and love going back. Very comfortable and inviting on the inside even though it is simple. Staff is always friendly and food is great! read more

Hair in my food than they had the nerve to say this time you don't have to pay for it. There will not be a next time. Gross!

I am disappointed... But I think the green salsa is really good... I went there few times (5) and I don't think the prices are as inexpensive as they say... I ordered "caldo de res" for the 3 rd time and every time was the same disappointment, for $10 I expect much more than what I got the 3 different times I gave it a try. The only vegetables were squash, carrots and a little piece of cabbage, no potato, no corn, and just a tiny piece of meat with a bone as big as the palm of a hand ... The rest of the plates I won't be able to try anymore since I decided to pay just a little more and go to the range or many other options in the area... You guys are good, but not the only ones... read more

It is a quaint lil' place in a strip mall with very simple Mexican dishes. Their homemade tortillas are the best I ever had. My meal? I ordered Mole con Pollo. I guess I am used to the savory Southwestern Mole; this was too sweet for me. I will be back to try other dishes though. I like the simplicity. And I want soft tacos in those homemade tortilla! read more

I stopped here because the reviews seemed generally good. Sadly, both the food and service left much to be desired. The chicken soup was mostly tasteless, the vegetables were barely cooked, and I got the impression that it was thrown together just before being brought out. I mentioned my negative thoughts about the soup to the waitress, who told me it is one of the most-loved items on the menu. That's difficult to believe. Nothing was done to try and improve my dining experience. read more

This is one of those out of the way places you find unexpectedly! First off, this is MEXICAN food, not New Mexican., but, the food is delicious and there's a huge variety. The Molcajetes are to die for, especially the lamb. It is slow cooked and melts in your mouth! I've also had the enchiladas rojos and thecred sauce is smoky and earthy. The huaraches are als great (flat fry bread topped with your choicec of ingredients like asada, papas con chorizo or pollo! The menu is huge snd I am slowly working my way through it! read more

Down Home Mexican Cooking!! I had the Green Chicken Enchilada meal. They even make their own Corn Tortilla's!!! My husband had Steak/Chicken Fajita's. Very impressed. read more

Lupe's Antojitos - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

My favorite Mexican joint in New Mexico. Everything tastes super fresh & has great flavor. My go to is the chicken fajitas or any of the burritos. I hear their tacos & tortas are bomb as well. Give them a try you will not be disappointed!! read more

See all

Outstanding food and service. The chips were so fresh & warm. The green sauce with it had so much good flavor. The food came out nice and hot. It was sooooo good. The young lady working was on the floor by herself & never missed a beat. She got everything perfect & keep checking on us. The prices are very reasonable for the quality & quantity of food you get. Definitely will be back. read more

I've been here several times and leave each time satisfied and smiling. Today, I had the Chicken Mole, which when cooked right is total Mexican comfort food...cooked badly, can be a disastrous viscous mess. But based on all the past meals, I went for the Mole. DELICIOUS! It does not disappoint! And an obligatory order of corn tortillas comes with this magnificent dish of a tender and succulent chicken thigh and leg covered in rich dark spiciness! So, definitely, if you love a good mole as much as I do, then Lupe's is ready when you are! And another thing that I love about this place, is the small assortment of Mexican candies such as Leche Quemada. ¡Buen provecho! read more

Simply incredible Mexican food. Authentic. Chicken fajitas were delicious I had to finish the whole plate. My boyfriend loves his chicken enchiladas too. Great prices. read more

Omg. This was the best Mexican food I have ever had. It was like I walked into someone's Hine and they fed me. The chicken was so fresh and juicy and the homemade corn tortillas were so amazing! If you hit Bernalillo and are ready to eat this is the place to do it. read more

Lupe's Antojitos - Mole con pollo - Mexican Near Me - Bernalillo, New Mexico

Great little authentic Mexican Restaurant. I'm happy to find a decent Sope! Their's are actually crispy, as apposed to the soft ones I'm used to, but are very good. I typically wait till I'm in Mexico for a good one. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! My wife says the chicken they use is good quality white meat. Good rice and beans. Tacos are small but priced right to try a variety. read more

Drove from NW Abq after as friend recommended it. Waited for 20 minutes. Not so much as a hello. Didn't even get our drink order. I asked the waitress for menus - she brought them but never came back. We left. They lost our business. Terrible service. read more

Another spot on yelp review. My mate Bruce and I found this place on yelp and gave it a go. I had the combo meal with chicken and Bruce had the green chilli enchiladas. We both give gave our meals a solid 5 stars. The food is amazingly good and fresh, the ambience is chilled and it's spotless. This is a great find and all for under $10. read more

I am a true Mexican food snob. I am from mexico city, I have had the best oaxacan, michoacana, and mexico city food. Now that i got that out of the way, I've been following Lupe's since my first visit to abq. This is real and legitimate mexican food from Mexico. (NOT NEW MEXICAN) Lupe's has the best dishes. I have tried their chilaquiles, barbacoa, tacos de papa, carne asada, and costillitas. They are just as good as my grandma's in Mexico city. The tomatillo salsa is very tasty and spicy enough. The chuletas are incredible. They also have real homemade corn tortillas. I make it a point to come eat at Lupe's everytime I am in New Mexico. People complain about the time it takes to get the food but this is real food, not fast food. Try it you won't be disappointed if you know about "real mexican food" read more

This place is amazing if you like Mexican food come here! If you're looking for New Mexican food this is not the place for you. I would highly recommend menudo or the mocajete Lupe's is simply wonderful!! read more

Molcajete with asada is worth a very long drive (never had it before coming here, now I am totally hooked). Chilaquiles with asada are also gold. The caldo de res is delicious, so is the caldo de albobdigas when they have it in the winter. Homemade chips and tortillas. And the salsa verde is maybe best in town. And I love the local feel and the incredible (sometimes understaffed) servers. read more

Visiting from San Francisco and came in for some posole. Best I ever had! I'm talking fresh and flavorful. My son said best tacos lol Started getting busy and seemed like everyone knew each other like family. Very welcoming and good service. read more
