    To be honest, my two co-workers and myself had our hearts set on this little Italian restaurant for lunch, only to find out they are closed on Monday. Great restaurant, but will have to do a review on them in the future. So with our original choice being closed, we didn't want to waste our precious lunch time and drive somewhere else, so we decided to eat at Lupita's, which is located right next door. What a wonderful suprised, the food was really good. Even the chip's and salsa was good. My co-workers ordered the beef flautas, and chicken mole, and I ordered the machaca with egg. Wow, great taste, great flavor, was just like a really good home cooked meal. My co-workers enjoyed their dishes as well, so everybody was happy. Place was a little small, but decorated nicely and clean. Our waitress was awesome, friendly, attentive, and helpful. So no complaints here, nice little find. Will definitely be back.

    "Carne asada" plate
    Yajaira B.

    I ordered a carne asada plate and salsa verde burrito... I was disappointed with the carne asada... I got Milanese meat, instead of ranchera. I had seen other photos where they clearly use ranchera and it looked good so I figured why not give it a try... near clearly not cooked on a grill like stove... it was more like fried meat... not reviewing burrito as I did not taste it. The food is slightly over priced... I wouldn't come back, sadly! I was truly craving carne asada with a bit of guacamole.. instead, I got fried Milanese with 1/2 a sliced avocado. The salsa rojo they make is pretty good though, it slightly saved the meal but still very disappointed!

    Enchiladas de mole

    So, I love mexican food and I love big portions. I was looking for a new spot to try and found this place; it's a little hole-in-a-wall place, but it's clean, cozy and inviting. It feels like you're at your aunts house. When I first arrived, I was greeted by a friendly waitress and she sat us down; she offered chips and salsa, which are complimentary.I browsed through the menu and decided to try the enchiladas de mole; omg, so delicious. The texture is so smooth and it feels like heaven in your mouth. So, I've been coming here for several months now and I always order the enchiladas; you have to try them. They are to do die for. This is the spot to visit when you wanna feel like you're at home; it'll remind you of your mom's cooking; it'll remind you of your childhood; something far away in time. Dramatic, yes, but true, lol.

    Did not disappoint. Had crunchy chicken tacos. Nice people, clean place, good service. No complaints!

    Lina is the sweetest ever, a lot of small businesses are struggling right now and the entitlement of the 1 star ratings bleeds through the phone. My sister and I come here all the time and the food is made quickly, and with love. You can tell that Lina puts love and soul into the food. Most Mexican places use cheap old meat and old products, you can taste the freshness in these meals. Please continue to support this location and if you have a bad experience, take it up with management. Don't be a Karen and go to yelp. Thank you Lina! Our grandmothers name was Linda, and she would love your food too also very clean location!!

    Some decent Salsa!

    Lupita's is a tiny spot in a strip plaza where parking can be a challenge depending on the time of day you go, I haven't been here in probably 20 years the menu seems the same but perhaps different owners. It's NOT a place to go for Tacos the selection of Carne is limited, don't be fooled by all the Mexican decor the food is very Americanized. Typical Mexican Restaurant they start you off with Chips and Salsa, the default salsa they give is HORRIBLE Extreme Gabacho! you must ask for something hotter to get anything that has flavor https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=2zM8X8smH9GSdEKzk0P4Mg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg these were decent. Carne Asada ($12.95) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=1KOZ1jz1nAM8zU2AZodGgw&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Lean meat, good flavor, slightly tough https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=aAjdmNGgb_WOEguktY4JnA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg but overall pretty good. Arroz y Frijoles - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=1-De0TALvyEduMyQzIqapA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg They were ok at best. 3.5-Stars Baja Burrito ($10.95) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=suZ6l-EiFYVxnkTbLsUMBg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Shrimp, Beans, Salsa and I asked (no rice) with Sour Cream on the side. The shrimp were a bit rubbery which means overcooked https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupitas-mexican-restaurant-alhambra-2?select=hcaJ8lSyxzpmAgkKq5eaPA&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg still a decent burrito. 3-Stars If you're looking for some great Mexican food this isn't the place, but it is some passable gabacho food, come with low expectations and leave satisfied.

The Jamaica was refreshing and not too too sweet. Nothing was overly salty, and it was all reasonably priced. What's a hidden gem. Don't be put off by the exterior of the place...its good here.

We were going to be there a bit before 11:00AM originally on Sunday since their website said 11:00AM, but Yelp said 10:00AM was when they opened. So my husband called on Sunday to check and they did indeed opened at 10:00AM. When we got there, there were already three sets of groups seated and they had to rearrange some tables for us since our party was nine people, which only took a couple of minutes to arrange. We were served complimentary chips and salsa as well as water as we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. I had quickly chosen my dish cause I'm a sucker for mole and there were only two options that had it, so I ended up getting the enchiladas de mole. The servers were great and the food was as pretty good too. I ended up taking leftovers home since I had eaten too much chips and dip before my actual food came cause the server refilled our chips on our end of the table like four times. The mole was pretty good and I wish there was more of it and didn't really enjoy that there was veggies inside the enchiladas since I think I was expecting more chicken than veggies inside. Not a big fan of beans, but they were pretty good with the melted cheese on top and the rice was good too. I definitely loved the decor they had and the designs painted on the walls because they eee so pretty and provided good photo op backgrounds.

My mom ordered the pozole verde and rajas con crema. Everything was going good until the server very rudely came and asked my mom to stop feeding my 9 month old baby because he was making noise and that "he had other guests and it was a bother" . We were both left in shock and it took us a second to process what he had just said. We had only taken a few bites of our food and we were commenting that it was good but this man's rudeness left us speechless. There was only 2 tables seated aside from us one gentleman and a group of 3 gentlemen on the other other table. I walked up to them and apologized if my baby was disturbing them and they all said no that he was not at all and they had kids and knew that the baby's were baby's. We felt extremely uncomfortable and discriminated by this man that I just asked for the check and left without even getting thru half of our food. This is such a Disappointment because they are suppose to be a family restaurant which I would assume is okay with children at their establishment but I guess not. There should be a sign at the door that says NO CHILDREN ALLOWED specially the ones that make any sort of noise. Management I expect a response from you! This is not okay!
