Service was great. The servers were very attentive and drinks come out quickly. Which was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is nice and modern so gives a great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good, l got the fajitas with chicks and the chicken was cooked well, not dry. But the fajita has too many tomatoes for my liking. Overall good meal. read more

Came here for happy hour for the first time. What a steal! Everything was so good and the portions were plentiful. I would say I can handle a pretty high spice level but I thought the food here was pretty darn spicy. That's not a complaint though. We ordered the below and the Guajillo and Ahi were hot! Ceviche - 5 stars Belly bites - 5 stars Guajillo shrimp - 5 stars Spicy Ahi tostada - 4 stars Street tacos- 4 stars Presentation of the food was beautiful and fresh. Service was pretty good, the guys working that night were nice but we did need to flag them down a few times and it was not very busy when we were here. The restaurant itself is super cute and would be a fun place for birthdays and date nights. Great vibe. Indoor and Outdoor seating. read more

Went to Lupe's Cocina on a Thursday morning and we were the first ones there,no wait at all. The staff was super friendly and checked in on us throughout our visit, even though we stayed a couple of hours catching up. Definitely appreciated the great customer service. As for the food, I don't mind paying a bit more for something that feels worth it, but the dishes we tried didn't really stand out. I had the chile relleno omelette and my friend got the steak and eggs plate. Both were okay, nothing bad, just kind of basic. I was hoping for a little more flavor or something that stood out. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, very clean, with a nice mix of music and plenty of seating. Overall, I loved the vibe and the service, but the food wasn't a big hit for me. read more

Had reservations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant wasn't busy but had many dirty tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They seemed short staffed but it was 4:30 which is usually between shifts. My mango margarita sucked! It was $7 on happy hour but tested like nothing. I ordered the colada after that & it was good. The chicken Tinga taquitos were good. Not sure if they're worth the $9 price on happy hour though. The free black beans along with the chips are a nice touch. They were delicious! The ahi tostadas were good & a great price on happy hour. My husband got the 4 tacos on happy hour & they told us they ran out of steak. He liked the carnitas but not the chicken so much. The cauliflower was good. We'll be back when in the area. read more

I Came to brunch with a friend & the service was great. The place is nice and clean. We came upon opening time, it was empty so we had a great experience.

Overall we had a good time. read more

Didn't get here in time for Happy Hour but next time I will because their Belly Bites (slow roasted pork belly) is sooo good and discounted during Happy Hour. I actually came here for their pozole but it was chicken, just not the same. My son had the Chile Rojo which I don't usually get because I always think it's going to be too spicy, but this dish was amazing, super tender. We are definitely going back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a hidden gem! We came here for a casual last minute date night. This spot was open and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Many menu options caught my attention. I went with rellenos de marisco, which had chile relleno stuffed with lobster shrimp, sauce, and white rice. Totally up my alley and it was delicious! The shrimp was fresh and juicy. The sauce wasn't overpowering and went well with the white rice. Everything just tied together so well. My husband got the carnitas enchilada. He enjoyed his dish as well. The margarita I got was amazing. Great service. I'd love to return for happy hour and brunch some time. read more

We walked in and we were seated immediately. The service is really great and the waiter was very kind. It's not too loud in there. It's actually kind of quiet, but it was nice. The food was really good. It's definitely a place I would go to again read more

We decided to try this place yesterday & let me tell you it's a nice restaurant. They seemed understaffed (waiters) but they still offered good service!. The food was really good!. I ordered the taqueria but they didn't have the carne asada so I went with two carnitas which was really good!. The other two were chicken which were ok. The ahi tuna tostadas were really good & had a good amount of ahi tuna!. My wife's chicken timga taquitos were really good also!. I had the Lupe Colada & let me tell you it's pretty addictive! Great taste!. My wife at first had a Mango blended margarita which I tasted & it tasted watered down & couldn't really taste the mango so after she finished it she decided to order what I was having the Lupe Colada which we both enjoyed!. We also loved their chips & salsa along with the beans they bring out!. Last but not least we had the roasted cauliflower which was also really good!. We'll definitely be back when in town! read more

Was looking for Mexican food locally that had great ratings and in our area. Came across Lupe's Cocina on Google. For some reason they are not rated on trip advisor yet. Had the most incredible lunch. True culinary artistry and cuisine. If Im being honest the prices were a bit more. All I can say was the food we had was well worth it! Every flavor was so unique in it's own way. So, so delicious. We had the lobster taco plate and the Chile relleno with a special request of replacing chicken with Carnitas. What a treat this lunch was. The restaurant itself was super open, good lighting, alot of natural light. Really gorgeous wall murals, nice bar, lots of tvs and so clean. Bright and spotless. The food servers was on top of it, excellent service. Very accommodating. We will be back for sure, so many things to try on their menu! read more

This is my 2nd time coming here. First time was back around the time they first opened. Since than, they have added other items including a brunch menu which is available everyday til 2pm. I got me from their brunch menu the Lupe Omlette with a side of potatoes. Omg, the best omlette ive had and im really particular when it comes to certain foods including an Omlette. Burrito size omlette which inside has chorizo, sundried tomatoes, cheese, aioli sauce, and onions. Cooked perfectly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice plate presentation and the decor in the dinning area is nice and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My server Luis is awesome and gave him a good tip.

Wow ... what a great meal with attentive service in a nice, clean place! Came here for some Mexican and left totally satisfied. I was sold on the Margarita flight with 4 samples of watermelon, tamarind, cucumber, and blue coconut ... all super tasty. We were immediately greeted with warm chips along with salsa and beans ... which were readily replenished without even asking. The octopus app was out of this world ... super flavorful with a side salad and so very tender. Did I mention that we also hit their $2 Taco Tuesday ... which included options for chicken, steak and carnitas?!?! After 9 tacos ... my DS agreed that the steak tacos were the best! Absolutely loved this place ... looking forward to coming back! read more

First time eating at Lupes. We found this place on Google. When we arrived the waiter told us they just opened 11 months ago. Our waiter Edgar was very pleasant and checked on us quite often. For the appetizer we ordered the Ribeye skewers and it was delicious, served on a pineapple with chimichuri sauce. I ordered the chicken mole. The mole sauce was the best I ever tasted. The chicken was a little dry but overall a great dish. My boyfriend had the Fish tacos and said they were pretty good. Overall, a great place to eat. We will definitely return when we visit Corona. read more

We are not from or live near this area, so the first time we came, it was a year ago. Service was great, good food, good drinks. We came again & we made it a point to visit here again & consistency is key! We stayed for several hours & talked & got through 3 baskets of chips, mixed cevice, a margarita flight each and a full sized blue margaritas each. Our seever was incredibly attentive. He checked in on us often. The food was a huge portion, delicious & the margaritas were strong like I like em! We probably won't go anyways else if we come to this area again!!! I wish this restaurant & everyone that works in it nothing but success! read more

My family and I found Lupe's Cocina and Cantina in Corona Ca and it is easily our favorite Mexican restaurant in the IE. They always have great food and their drinks are so yummy too! I really like their mango mojito. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the other drinks. It's one of my daughters and her father's favorite though.. Definitely a must try! Everything here is great, even the service! They always ask if you need anything or how everything is. It's great! We love coming here. read more

Hubby said when he walked into the restaurant, people looked him up and down like he didn't belong there. He said it was fancy in there and people dressed in suits. For an upscale restaurant, I expected more from them. We ordered two chicken pozole soups for takeout. They are pricey but we saw the raving reviews so we didn't mind paying if it was going to be worth it. When we got home to open up the food, we noticed we only got one salsa and one side of beans when we ordered two meals. The pozole was in a small container that barely had any broth in it so all we had was hominy and a few pieces of chicken breasts that was dry and overcooked. We've had tastier pozole where you get bigger portions for less price. The only thing that tasted good was their fresh chips and the red salsa. Very disappointing and not sure if we will go back again. read more

Went here tonight and had an amazing food and service experience! It was busy but we were able to be seated quickly during dinner rush on a Saturday which was amazing. The Chef/GM was so kind and so was our server Joseph. We had a bit of a snafu with one wrong order and a kids meal taking a bit longer than normal, but we were happy to wait. They came over multiple times to let us know how long it would take and even gave us a complimentary dessert. Absolutely amazing experience and I've already told multiple people about it. Definitely will be back! read more

Saw many great reviews for Lupe's Cocina & Cantina and decided to check it out for dinner. The whole evening was great! We started with the pulpo a la parrilla. Super delicious and unique. We also got some cocktails. I tried the hibiscus (or jamaica in Spanish) margarita. Very tasty and well balanced. The hubs got a house margarita and also enjoyed it. They have a dedicated kids menu which is much appreciated. Kids got a salmon plate and a quesadilla plate, and both were enjoyed, especially the salmon. I got myself the taco and enchilada plate which comes with a NY steak taco and a tinga mole enchilada. The mole was very authentic and flavorsome. And the taco hit the spot. Hubs got their relleno de mariscos which comes with lobster and shrimp in a pasilla chile - he definitely enjoyed it. I also liked how their rice was plated and how it had a little garlic clove inside, which enhanced the flavor. I really commend their creative and unique menu, both for food and drinks. The ambience is chic, inviting, and colorful. The service was friendly and attentive from beginning to end. I would highly recommend the place and can't wait to come back. Their brunch looks especially promising. read more

OMG!!! WOW! LUPE'S COCINA IS THE HOTTEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN CORONA! I have absolutely fallen in love with this restaurant! During my drive home, I wanted a shrimp cocktail and searched for the closest Mexican restaurant in town. Lupes was the first one to come up, so we gave it a try. The place was impressive from the moment we walked in. The experience was comparable to entering a top-notch five-star restaurant in Beverly Hills! The environment was pleasant. The music was playing and our server quickly welcomed us and led us to our table. Not even seconds later, we had fresh chips, salsa, and the most delicious beans. To start off with, I ordered a Bloody Mary and omg, it was perfectly made! Hats off to the bartender! Not many people know how to make one since it's not a Bloody Mary. For our meals, we enjoyed shrimp ceviche, pork belly bites, and Pulpo Ala Parrila. Each and every bite was exquisite, delicious, and mouth-watering! The amazingness of everything is beyond words. I neglected to take pictures of our food because it was so delicious! But I did take a picture of our dessert given to us on the house! Which it was a lovely surprise and super delicious! The chef came out to introduce himself and chat with us for a bit, making us feel very special. Our waiter Abraham was also super sweet and did an amazing job with customer service. Congratulations to the owner and operator of this restaurant! Your team is amazing. We hope that all of you experience nothing but success. May God grant you blessings for your business. I hope you can increase the number of locations in the near future. Until then, I will be willing to take the drive. Your food is worth every mile. read more

The food was decent. The service was terrible! Graciano either hates his job or he hated us. We had to ask for everything including napkins and silverware. He charged us for something we requested and never received and we were there for 2.5 hours for dinner because he just never tended to us like a server should. When we asked for something it took forever to receive it. Thanks to GRACIANO we will NOT be returning.... read more

Great food and service. Ceasar was very knowledgeable and attentive for recommendations.

We were in the mood for Mexican food and finally decided to try Lupe's Cocina. The bring out complimentary tortilla chips with black beans and salsa. The chips were freshly made and so good with the beans and salsa. And if you run out, they'll bring more! I wasn't too hungry that night, so I decided to get the octopus appetizer which is called Pulpo ala Parrila. It's a grilled charred Spanish octopus and comes with Bilbao chorizo, cherry tomatoes, arugula, cotija cheese, and a herb lemon olive oil dressing. The octopus was delicious and went so well with the chorizo. I didn't care for the arugula salad and dressing though. I felt it didn't compliment the octopus. But I found out before leaving that you can ask for a romaine salad with cilantro dressing. I'll definitely do that next time. My husband had La Tampiqueña plate which comes with a grilled ribeye, a mole cheese enchilada, grilled onions, guacamole, sour cream, Bilbao chorizo, and refried beans. He doesn't like guac or sour cream, so he didn't get it on his plate. He loved everything he got and said he never had a mole enchilada like this before. It was a little sweet, smoky, and he really enjoyed it. I tried it and didn't care for the flavor. I've always had mole that is savory, so it wasn't my cup of tea. My son had the Pescado Zarandeado which is a grilled sea bass with adobo miranade, guacamole, and pickled onions. He didn't want the guac or onions, so didn't get them. It also comes with black beans and rice and it was plated on a cutting board. He said the fish was delicious. The waiter often came to check on us and was friendly. The restaurant looks so beautiful compared to the other restaurant that used to be there. It looks sophisticated with beautiful paintings on the walls, very aesthetic. They also have brunch on the weekends, so I definitely plan to return for that and check it out. Also, fyi, they use portable handheld devices to pay at the table. read more

Excellent fresh food! I would definitely go back and try other dishes. The staff was friendly and made recommendations on the menu.

Dropped in for a first time here. Lupe's is a restaurant in a shopping center in Corona. Very clear and friendly place. Bar has two TVs and a third on the side for sports. Restaurant looks nice. It's new and has been open 4 months. Chips and salsa are on point. A side of black beans and cheese is included for the table. We ordered refreshments and reviewed the brunch menu. We ordered the Chilaquiles, Chile Relleno, and Ranchero. All of the dishes had an excellent presentation, as did mine. My fajitas meat was very tough and fatty, not what I expected. But the rice, beans, guacamole, and sour cream were good. The green hot sauce was mucho hot. But it was tasty. Will have to try the bar food/appetizers if we drop in again. Service was good. Check out Lupe's if you're in the area. read more
