Chicken rancheras
Susan H.

This place is hit or miss on their to go orders. Don't know why I keep going back. I think this was the last time. It's the only Mexican restaurant in probably a 20-30 minutes in any given direction. Today, I ordered the chicken rancheras enchiladas to go and did not eat even a third of them. Very disappointing. Chips and green salsa were good. The staff is usually very nice, except for the one that always seems to answer the phone. Today, she hung up on me before I finished talking. Oops.

No one left hungry!

Our newest stop on the road! We had never heard of Lupe's before stopping and are so glad we gabe it a try! Cant wait to be back. As we came in, we were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. Waiter was friendly and attentive. We were a party of 6 with very thirsty athletes. Chips and salsa were brought immediately to the table. Water and tea glasses were refilled every time without needing to ask. Food came out so fast we were completely surprised. We all ordered a different meal and everyone loved theirs and ate more than they should have! Margaritas were some of the smoothest I've had. Loved the atmosphere, food and service!

Phenomenal food. Quick service. Never once did we run out of chips, guacamole, or salsa. Waters were always filled immediately. The server listened very well and had a great attitude, he went the extra mile in every way possible. 10/10 restaurant, overall amazing experience!!

Enchiladas

We came to this place on New Year's Eve and I was pretty disappointed with the enchiladas and the sauce they put on it was absolutely disgusting. Service was really slow and they couldn't keep our drinks refilled at all. That was disappointing because there wasn't anybody there besides 2 other families.

Food and service were great. Parking was difficult, but that's a good sign when you can't find a parking spot.

Great little spot to hang out and eat. But the prices never stay the same. For a family of 4 you spend over 100.00 which is crazy.

This was my second time here and I am glad that I came again! For this visit I chose to have…read morebreakfast as a friend had recommended it. I had the barbacoa platter and it was very tasty. The beef was well seasoned and the potatoes and beans were hot and tasty. I ordered my eggs over easy and they were a bit more done than I would have liked, but this was a very minor issue. The flour tortillas that came with the meal were warm and tender with just the right amount of char. The potatoes were cooked just right, slightly crisp on the outside and tender and warm on the inside. The portion sizes were all very good. Enough to fill me up without feeling bloated. And finally, the coffee was outstanding. Rich and flavorful without a hint of bitterness. The service was excellent! I was waited on by two different waitresses and both were friendly and polite. I chose to eat outside, and was a little nervous that I'd be forgotten as I was the only one doing so, but they were attentive to my needs and did a nice job of checking up on me. The patio area was very clean and it was a nice alternative to have available. There were a few flies joining me, but this is Texas in the spring so that was to be expected! Overall a very pleasant experience and I'll be back to try some more selections off the menu. Highly recommended!

WHO'S freakin idea was it to grind the shrimp, crab meat and crawfish and make an enchilada stuffing!!!!??I wanted to be like Top Chef and take the plate and throw it back at the chef!! Daaaa BLEEP! 2. WHO'S idea was it to take charro beans and mush/puree them to make refried beans??!!! It was my Latino male chaperone who noticed that. 3. WHO'S idea was it to serve me THEN charge for 5 day ole pico de gallo!! How I know it was that old was because of the consistency of the vegetables, I make bean salad and I know the taste and look of the tomatoes, onions etc when I haven't eaten within 3 days! 4. They called ahead, gave a head count and only had 1 waitress for 30 people. 5. Let me also mention, UP CHARGE on an Arnold Palmer and NO FREE REFILL for it! I'm sure the reason this restaurant is still in business is because they are directly off the highway therefore passersby's are clueless. A dad of one of the players suggests go deep into the city and that's where the authentic Mexican food is and we would have been better off eating at Harts Buffet that next door. We giggled because EVERYONE knows Harts Buffet hits da hunger spot. He ordered potatoes, eggs and bean because he knew better. I'm done...dropping the mic!! If you're here today, don't eat here...go to Taco Bell. As I'm having a flash back ONE STAR!
