Kirk M.

We loved this place so much we ended up here three times during our trip to Puerto Rico -- which pretty much says it all. Huge shoutout to Gabby and Robert -- they were amazing, super personable, and made every visit better. The vibe here is just fun. Great service, cold drinks (very important), and the chicken nachos were legit. The outside bar was our favorite part. It was an easy place to hang out, strike up conversations, and meet people from all over. Every time we came here we left with new friends and fun memories. If you're on the east end of PR and want a solid bar with good energy, this is an easy yes. We'll definitely be back next time.

Grouper fish tacos with refried beans & rice.

Food was okay. Not any better than east coast Mexican food. Grouper fish tacos with rice & tefried beans. I was hungry so I finished it. Service was good & friendly. I tried a margarita and was alright. This place seems too touristy. I will try a different place for authentic puerto Rican food.

In town enjoying some great company and amazing food. We stayed close by so we had a short commute. We choose our Uber and we're next to the restaurant in no time. They sat us outside and we enjoyed the music and conversation. I ordered a taco salad and the steak fajitas. The food was amazing and fresh. Our server Victor was the best!!! He made sure we were all happy and well fed. If you're in the area you won't regret it. We hope to be back soon to enjoy some more yummy food.

Happened to be at the hotel beach next door and saw their "all day happy hour" sign outside so me and my friends went in! They sat us down very quickly and checked on us on multiple occasions to ensure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for anyone which is great! My fajita came out sizzling as you can see in the video . It was so hot and Smokey that I had to back up from the table because I was getting second hand smoke they up charge you for $1 if you want it to be Cajun , which I did. If you like spicy you'll like this. Very filling. Our only complaint is that they charge you $2.50 for every sauce that you ask for and don't tell you. They ask if you want sauce for your food so they can bring it out but don't mention the up charge. A friend of mine asked for ranch and something else and paid $8 for sauce alone lol. It would've been nice to be told but other than that everything was great.

COME HUNGRY! Very good Mexican spot! Highly recommend! The options are endless and the amount of food that comes with the entrees can be shared! Everything tasted authentic and had lots of flavor. The nachos were very good and can be shared with at least 4 people. The combination platters are great. They come with so much food and they have great choices to choose from. The service was good, they were friendly and fast. We sat outside and it was a nice environment. I would come here again!

Outdoor patio, happy hour, this is the place to be in Isle Verde! They have lots of tables and Spanish pop music playing, screens too for sporting events. Food and drinks with reasonable prices.

Lupis definitely has a lot of potential and could easily make their way to 5 stars, but they turned up short in a few aspects for me. I enjoyed the Churrasco wrap and the wings, but there wasn't anything that stood out about them. They were just ok. My friend who had the quesadilla really liked the guac and she said it tasted super fresh. Their margarita was delicious and very strong. It is super nice to have an outdoor covered patio, as well as a bar. I came here three times - 2/3 times the service was great, and the third time it was pretty bad. I sat at the bar for over 15 minutes and wasn't acknowledged. There were dirty drinks in front of me and the bartender wouldn't even look in my direction. I understand that it was busy, but not being greeted after 15 minutes was a bit frustrating, so I ended up leaving. The other two people who waited on us (not the same person) were super nice an attentive. So again, there is definitely potential. Overall, I would come again and try something else on the menu.

Staying on the beach in Isle Verde and needed something quick and hot before a meeting. Lupi's was close by and convenient and the patio looked popular. While it wasn't packed, it had a good crowd. Seated quickly, things proceeded from there fairly slowly. After a wait of about 10 minutes we got menus (you can also QR code a PDF version) and placed our drink orders (their Margs come in a variety of sizes). Another 10 minutes later our waiter comes by for our food order (drinks had not yet arrived) and we asked again for some water, while waiting on our drinks. This slowness continued throughout the rest of the meal. The menu although is quite comprehensive, with a mix of Tex Mex and local offerings. The good news is that the Mofongo was terrific and the Tostone's very fresh and not overcooked. A chicken wrap was also solid, but the waiter mixed up the order for my tomato tortilla with a spinach one. Not a horrible mistake but given the pace, a yeoman's error. For a touristy version of a Mexican/PR locale, it earned a solid 3 of 5. If they would step up their game on service, they could easily jump to 4.

I came in Lupi's with super low expectations. I saw its Mexican restaurant so I was like this is like what we have back at home. I instantly changed my mind when I ordered my taco salad the first night and tried my mother in law's margarita. I was like yes, there is a slight variation from how I perceived this restaurant to be. The food tasted fresh with my salad and was huge. They had football on that night so I just watched whatever team was playing that night. Celebrated my mother in law's birthday with margarita and cheese platter for the table. We finished the meal with fried ice cream. I don't ever remember fried ice cream being this good in my life. The first night I was so hooked on it I asked my husband please take me back here before we leave Puerto Rico so I can enjoy it one more time. Now I have very high expectations when I get back home to Ohio for fried ice cream as this was just the bomb. If you ever visit Lupi's do yourself a favor a order your hearts desire for Mexican dishes but don't forget to leave room for dessert! You will definitely not regret it, trust me on this!

Remy F.

Bartenders give great service. Love the strawberry daiquiris. Margarita wasn't for me but worth a shot if you normally are into them Loved the food I have had here as well! Great to watch football games as well. Have both indoor and outdoor seating which I liked. Outdoors covered from rain. Good ambiance for watching sports.

Turnovers. Probably just frozen crap they microwaved

On a Saturday night this was the only local restaurant open after 9:30 on that strip and it happens to be a Mexican restaurant [insert crocodile tears]. I was a little bummed about that because I wanted some authentic PR food. I read the reviews beforehand and saw how many people complained about the food here so I kept my expectations super low and ordered something you really can't mess up: a grilled chicken wrap. I must say they got my order wrong lol, I ordered a tomato wrap and got spinach, but I really didn't care about that. The wrap and french fries did what it needed to do. To drink, I had the passion fruit ipa which was a first for me and it was pretty good. Simple no frills Americanized meal. read more

This is a little Mexican restaurant located just outside the front entrance of the Fairmont hotel.we were looking for some local food and margaritas and were not disappointed. Our server was friendly and helpful with our menu questions. We started with a few different nacho platters for the table that were very enjoyable. Margaritas came in various sizes, largest being 60 ounces, which we avoided but the thought made us laugh. I had a very tasty taco salad with chicken that hit the spot. The prices here are very reasonable and the do have private parking but it's also a very walkable location from a few different hotels. I would visit this restaurant again next time I'm in town. read more

This place was alright. The server was top notch but the drinks and food were subpar. On top of that, it was fairly expensive for Mexican food and drinks. A mojito cost $15.00 compared to another restaurant down the street for $7. I would understand if the expensive drink was good, but I barely tasted the alcohol. The burrito and taco combo was average in taste. I got two slices of jalapeños and asked for a small side order. The server said it would be another $2.25 for a side order of jalapeños. Outrageous! I had to settle for hot sauce that was not good. There is a better Mexican place down he road that gave me free jalapeños. read more

The only items I would not recommend is the guacamole and chips and birdi chicken tenders. Overall I would highly recommend. read more

Oh wow! This place is so amazing! First off the piña colada's were to die for! They're nice and big so you only need one! The chips and guacamole were ver very tasty and filling but not too much for me to not eat the rest of my dinner. Me and my sister shared the enchiladas and they were super duper good and my sister Loved them so much. My dad got combination #1 and he says it tickled his taste buds and took him back to Tijuana! How amazing!! Servers are super sweet and seem to be on top of things. Super good music and got to watch some baseball! The restaurant is very nicely decorated! Next time I come to visit I'm definitely coming back to Lupis and will recommend it to all my friends and family. Definitely a 5 star place. read more

i spent the first week of january in old san juan with my boyfriend and his family. on our last day, we spent the day at the beach so my boyfriend and i had a quick lunch at lupi's because it was near by. i had the taco platter with hard shell, shredded pork tacos that came with rice & beans, lettuce, jalepenos, guacamole, & chile verde sauce with a gingerale. my boyfriend had the lupi's burrito with shredded pork and all the same sides with a crown and sprite/then lemonade. they didn't have crown, so they even went to the store real quick to get it! THAT'S good service right there. -- the food was impeccable! the ambiance was nice, we sat outside because the inside was closed until dinner, but we sat in the shade and with the fans everywhere, we weren't hot at all. read more

Awful. Our first night in Puerto Rico. Stopped here for a bite to eat. We were seated right away and our order taken right away. Waitress came by to say it would be out soon. An hour and half later we still didn't get our food. We inquired and they didn't even start making it yet. They weren't even apologetic for forgetting about us. Just extremely rude. When we said forget it, to cancel the order they were even more rude like it was our fault for not wanting to wait anymore. I would never go there again. It was quite apparent they are not fans of tourist. read more

Just a run of the mill, average Mexican restaurant. We ordered chicken fajitas and a cheese quesadilla. The food was as generic as it gets. The beans, rice, and quesadilla were cold and had sat for a while clearly. The food itself was not worth going to and the price was ridiculous. $42 for this meal pictures, including the two bottles of water for $2.50 each. No refills on anything. Save your money and go across the street to chilis for good fajitas (and that's saying something). This must be a place for just drinks and not food. read more

A visit to Lupi's is must for me during our annual Visit to Puerto Rico. It is an excellent casual sports-bar with great food. Seating is available outside, in a quiet-ish dining room and in a separate sports bar area featuring multiple TVs. The crispy grouper fingers with "special sauce" is my personal favorite, but their fish tacos, fajitas and mofungo are all very good. Lupi's is far better than the average rating shown by Yelp. Another popular rating site show that Lupi's food is the top-rated Mexican - Puerto Rican in Isla Verde. Highly recommended. read more

***Ambiguous rules that are sporadically enforced*** I'll start this review by saying our server, Frances was amazing and attentive. How every, that's where the good about this experience ends. My family and I came in and we're greeted and seated right away. About 5-10 minutes after being seated our server tells us my daughter needs a shirt because she's in a bikini top. (This restaurant is steps away from a beach). I didn't complain, I took her back to the apartment so she could get a top. A few minutes after we returned to the restaurant, a couple comes in and the female is wearing a tube top that may very well have been a bathing suit top. The top was literally about 6-8" wide and barely covered her chest (my daughter was completely covered). I asked a waiter how that was allowed but my daughter had to cover up. He tries to argue with me about it and I told him the perception of it is that they pick and choose who they ask to cover up. The manager, Luis comes over, I tell him my concerns and he tells me he's going to deal with it. He NEVER came back to our table and didn't say anything to the female wearing a tube top at his restaurant. A cowardly act by the manager to say the least. Couldn't even come back to explain the policy or clear up any confusion. My background is in hospitality and this experience was truly disappointing. Customer experience should always be a priority in the service and hospitality industry and Lupi's, specially LUIS, clearly has no regard for the customer service experience. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

The bar has happy hours everyday. You can watch pretty much any sports with all the TV present. We didn't eat anything because we had other plans for that but my wife and I did get drinks at the bar. The bar has a pretty good beer selection. I liked that your allowed to walk around the arcade zone with alcoholic beverages. Next time I'll order some food. FYI, there are two entrances. The one by the JC Pennys is closer to the restaurant. The one by the Olive Garden is closer to the arcade zone and restrooms.

This is a more of a bar than restaurant but it offers some restaurant style menu items along with some unique cocktails. We tried a cocktail with grapefruit and gin; don't remember the name. It was better than expected. The place has an urban, hipster-like atmosphere. It's basically one large room with a bar, a few tables of varying sizes, and two "lounge" areas with couches. It also sports a few TVs. We came here on the recommendation for the Mero Bites (deep fried grouper); an appetizer. So we ordered those, a Quesadilla de Pollo, and a side of Tostones. The Tostones came with a mayo-ketchup style dipping sauce and tasted like, you guessed it, tostones. The Quesadilla de Pollo came with small sides of sour cream, refried black beans, and guacamole. It was also drizzled with a creamy sauce. Overall, it was satisfying and better than average. The Mero Bites were definitely worth it. They were large flakey chunks of grouper, deep fried to a golden brown, and slightly crispy. They came with a side of tartar that paired with them perfectly but they were delicious without it as well. Definitely get the Mero Bites if you go here. The staff was friendly and our waiter was excellent. If you're in the area and want a snack and a drink, I'd recommend stopping in for the Mero Bites and one of their unique cocktails. The Mero Bites alone were worth the visit.

This place has great aesthetic and atmosphere BUT the service is the WORST I have ever encountered…read more They had 3 people working a medium size bar and instead of each working a specific part, they all concentrated on the same area. It was incompetente and idiotic. The people that work there either have a low IQ or don't have a sense of geometry. Either way, please learn how to work a bar before actually doing it. I don't plan on coming here again. Este lugar tiene buena atmósfera pero el servicio es ridículo y no vale la pena ir si tienes que esperar más de 20min por un trago. No vuelvo hasta que resuelvan este problema

I grabbed a cold mojito and mingled with other people there. From there the night heated up, Great mixed crowd and variety of music! I stayed there for hours dancing, mingling with group, and enjoying great drinks. Only thing that was a bit of a bummer was the one toilet bathroom for the ladies room. They ran out of toilet paper and soap and the line was really long!

The service was friendly and attentive. The dark interior showcases their wine collection in a very stylish fashion, and the patio/bar is charming. Our group ordered the red snapper, fish tacos, and an Ethiopian injera platter. Despite not having a few items that we requested for the platter, what we got was delicious. The coconut curry rice that accompanied the snapper was a delightful flavor combo. We have had really good Ethiopian many times, and were not disappointed.

At first, the food was pretty okay. I got waited on and served relatively quickly. However, my darker skinned friends had to wait a longer time not just to order, but also to get their food. One of my darker skinned friends ordered three empanadas and only received two. When she tried to speak to one of the servers about getting her third empanada they refused. She said she was willing to pay for it, but they refused to serve her what she asked. Then, they said there's always a problem with "you people". Then all of a sudden they lied and said she was trying to scam them. As we're walking out, they start cursing at us and saying things like " I hope everyone except you (referring to my darker skinned friend) has a good day". The servers were overall very disrespectful, they cursed, and they were overly unprofessional. So even though the food was okay this was a horrible experience. As we were leaving, we saw two other darker skinned black women walk up to try and order. We told them about our experience and the servers started lying and saying that we are there every day and always causing problems. This was also untrue. That was the first time we've ever been to this restaurant. We walked a block down the street to wait for our car service. Then moments later, we bumped into the same dark skinned black women we saw earlier and they told us that their presence wasn't even acknowledged. So like I said even though the food was pretty okay. It wasn't good enough to be okay with the blatant colorism where it wasn't expected.

It's a teeny spot with only about 10 seats, so you may have to wait. We were lucky to go on a cloudy day and snagged a little table. Chicken wings, pulled pork tacos, and the pork stuffed tostones are all yummy. There's an herby green sauce on them that is out of this world. Fresh and bright. Mojito was good, I'd steer clear of the margarita (seems like a mix is used). The OceanLab IPA was local and yummy.

Very touristy Mexican establishment on Isla Verde Ave. The decor screams Mexican but the food isn't as convincing. Drinks - I tried the original frozen margarita. The drinks are offered in 4 sizes. I tried Tijuana- and it was a good size. The granulated salt around the rim is extra salty. Food - appetizer - nachos with cheese, sour cream and guacamole. The nachos are def not made in house (you can taste the difference). The cheese was already dry by the time we received the dish. The dollop of sour cream and guac was not enough for the massive plate. - dinner - I tried the combo with a chix taco, enchilada topped with salsa verde, Mexican rice and retried beans. I actually enjoyed both the taco and - . The salsa verde has a good spicy kick. I added another hot sauce they offered to the taco - it was yummy. The rice was oily. I didn't care for the beans. It also comes with a small salad with a dollop of both sour cream and guac to ass to the taco. - dessert - I did not order as everything offered is not made in house. Bummer. My coworker tried the fried ice cream and she wasn't pleased. Aside from the food, the waiter was attentive to an extent - did not offer water even when asked. Music is not Latin, instead it's pop from the 90's. Above average prices for drinks. Decent food. Okay decor. Average customer service. read more

We had such a great experience thanks to our server, Jasmine! From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive. She made us feel right at home and checked in just the right amount without ever being overbearing. Her friendly attitude and genuine kindness really stood out and made our meal even more enjoyable. And the drinks--WOW. We got the Puerto Rican margaritas and let's just say... we FELT GOOD after. They were perfectly balanced, super refreshing, and definitely did their job! Between the amazing service and the delicious drinks, this spot is a must. Jasmine truly made our visit special--we'll definitely be back for drinks! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Lupi's in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. The service was terrible from start to finish. The servers were incredibly rude and unprofessional, making the entire visit uncomfortable. On top of that, the restaurant was completely disorganized, with staff scrambling around and seemingly unaware of basic customer needs. It's clear there's a lack of proper management. I expected much better, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. read more

I had an unpleasant experience at this Mexican restaurant in San Juan. The service was very slow; I asked twice for a water refill and was ignored. Moreover, they don't refill soft drinks, and I paid 4 dollars for a cup of tea and the waitress said they don't do refills. The food is expensive, and it seems like a tourist trap. The only positive is the nice outdoor setting. read more

This place is right next to our hotel in walking distance. They have free wifi in there. The food overall is good, but you better prepare to wait for it cause it takes a while for them to bring them out. If you are looking for a causal Spanish food for lunch, this is the place to go. The price is fair and looks clean too. read more
