Best meal of the Austin trip: upscale tacos and housemade masa in a welcoming space…read more Food: 5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Waitress Kelly was wonderful and so professional. She noticed I was ordering dairy items on side and asked about if pesto in guacamole was ok. So astute and kind of her. Also on my friends second drink remembered she didn't want salt or her rim without even asking - Everything tasted so fresh and high quality - Brisket tacos: packed with flavor--maybe it was the wagyu meat or the black magic oil. Freshly made corn tortillas were awesome. Usually corn ones and pretty throwaway meh, but these added to the greatness of the tacos. 5 stars - Duck flautas: crispy covered in mild mole. Loved the mashed potato addition inside for some mellowness and texture. 5 stars - Guacamole: so fresh and that dollop of pesto on top was lovely. Served with crispy masa dippers were impressive almost a 8x11 page size. It was fun to crack off into pieces, but hard to stop eating it. 5 stars - Sweet potato: friend loved these long charred wedges. 4.5 stars - Cocktails were stellar. I got the Don Dario which was a play on a marg and delightful - $12 of a few drinks during lucky hour (Mon-Fri 5-6pm, Sat-Sun 3-5pm) - High energy vibes in a clean, open, tan colored space - Had their bottle water on the table in a champagne bottle which speaks to my heart Midlights: - In East Austin so have to Uber if you are staying more central - Tacos come in orders of 4. Wish it was less so we could've tried more variety. Lowlights - No food discounts for lucky hour - Didn't have time to try the choco taco which looked amaze - Large gap of time between items first few items coming out and the rest

I am definitely ordering this as a meal next time! Everything else on their menu is fantastic! I had the quesadilla this time and was surprised it's not your typical flat quesadilla. These are fried tortillas with the fixings of a quesadilla. Mouth watering, crispy and melt in your mouth meat! This place always is a great choice!

Was disappointed with the menu, they give out chips and salsa for the table and their appetizers…read moreare also chips with different dips. We chose Brisket Queso and was not happy to see a bowl of melted cheese with a spoon of brisket on it. Got the food and I got the wagyu fajitas and nothing was seasoned well. Mohammad was our server and he didn't check up on us, or refill anything. He brings the food and disappears and he didn't even introduce himself, nor made us feel like he wants us there. me and my husband tip generously if we were taken cared of and I made sure to write zero on that paper. I was so disappointed. Their Chocolate tres leches was horrible, driest tres leches i had and the fruits was soggy. Will not recommend to anyone

I have to say the food was very good, and the service not outstanding but acceptable…read more The ambiance was ok, I found the booths to be small for four grownups. We ordered queso with chili and it was $6. What arrived was a very small bowl the size of a sauce dish. One thing I did not really like was that when our meal was finished, our waitress just showed up with a handheld with a total and tip already added in. I know some places do this for large groups but there was only 4 of us. The total was $90 for three entries, two margaritas, a queso, a coffee and four waters. No iced teas or sodas. Seemed excessive but the way they just bring a handheld with a total, it's impossible to check what is on your check and how much each item was.

This little gem is our fave Mexican spot here in town. The food is always fresh and hot, and…read moreeverything we have had here has been exceptional. Service is always great, even if they are busy. Once in a while, a mariachi band will be playing for the customers, and this can be a tad loud. I personally prefer dining in when they are not playing due to the loud noise is a trigger for my TBI. However, many absolutely enjoy the show. They also offer a couple of tables out front if you'd like to dine outside. Definitely a MUST for anyone driving thru town to try. Our favorite for sure!

Mama Ninfa Laurenzo. If you don't know who that is let me explain. Her restaurant Ninfa's started…read morethe fajita craze in Houston. Eventually, expanding into basically copy cat restaurants. Lupe Tortilla is one of those restaurants. I'm not saying it's a bad thing as one of my personal favorites (Pappacito's) holds this same designation. Over the years I been to Lupe but haven't been overly impressed. A few happy hours; some lunches. It's pricey Tex-Mex. Lupe opened a new outlet recently in Kyle and instead of waiting for tires in a lobby we ride shared just down the road for lunch. New digs are nice; competition in this area will be stiff. It already killed off Austin fave Z' Tejas. I've never gotten the complimentary beans served with the chips and salsa. I personally don't need any more beans than what's served with my entree. Wife liked it though; she's a bean whore. Bloody Mary ordered; it's like an appetizer! Her taco salad was artfully presented. I'd still want the traditional fried tortilla bowl. I opted for the beef fajita and shrimp fajitas. This is where my favorite mentioned about easily stands above Lupe Tortilla. Well done meat versus beautiful medium rare goodness. Beef fajita meat doesn't have to be well done y'all. I literally could tag nearly every Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas at this point. Back to the dish this time concentrating on the seafood aspect. The shrimp were nicely cooked but red pepper butter? Fave copycat restaurant serves their shrimp with the most amazing frothy garlic butter. Diablo and the bacon wrapped version. Lupe isn't bad but there are better options. For this visit, including my dessert of a tequila shot. May not be my favorite but it was upscale fare.

From Chicago, in Austin for the week. First night we stopped by Lupe, based on a recommendation…read more -The place was packed on a Friday night. Service was good and very friendly. Very pleasant ambiance. -They brought out chips and salsa. The chips looked and tasted like they just came out of a bag : ) -We ordered fajitas to share. Overall, pretty bland. Not a ton of taste. I did enjoy the green pepper! -If this is what they call "Tex-mex," I'm not really impressed. I cannot recommend.

How the heck this place has 4.5 stars??? Everything was fine…read moreuntil we looked at the bill. The food is decent and the drinks are good, but they fraud customers with their happy hour promotion! The server, which is also the owner, gave us a menu and a happy hour menu. We compared the two and made sure our drinks are in the happy hour promotion. But in the bill it's the full price! We asked him why?? He said that we pointed at the regular menu drink and not the hh one! He said that the happy hour is way smaller and he gave us the big one because that's what I pointed on! But in the actual menu it doesn't say the size of the drink. It does say it in the hh menu 5oz... So I asked him how the hell could we know that?! This is absolutely ridiculous approach the scam your clients! No wonder this place is EMPTY on a Saturday night! Avoid at all cost! And if you got scammed and didn't say anything to this Ahole, this is your stage to do so!

Somehow, YELP brought me to this truck on a Tuesday in late March…read more Since I was in a pinch, I decided to be brave and dial the number for a takeout order. Fortunately I was greeted with an energetic HOLA! at the other end and upon recognizing my broken spanish, they immediately pivoted to english to take my order. I went with a fish taco, a carne asada gordita, and a pair of deshebrada tacos and a pair of pastor tacos. Upon arriving, they had my food ready quickly after I paid. Got back to my hotel and chowed down. The fish taco is absolutely awesome; really packed with intense flavors from the slaw, sauce, and the juiciness of the fish. The fish is pretty thick and worth the price. The gordita is delicious as well and still piping hot when I got back. As for the tacos, those are tasty as well although smaller than I imagined for the price being paid. I plan to hit up this truck again next time I'm in the College Station/Bryan area. I understand why this is a favorite amongst the locals here and for good reason.

I ordered the quesabirria tacos--they came three for $15, and they were very good. The green salsa was great, though I wish it was a little spicier. The other salsa wasn't my favorite; it had a different flavor and was extremely spicy. That said, I loved the tacos--they were packed with meat and cheese, which was awesome, especially when dipping them into the consomé. The staff were super friendly and had great personalities. The food came out in about 10 minutes, which was perfect. It's a cute food truck with lots of decorations that really add to the vibe!
