If you order a burrito you actually get two of them so again you can get two different ones. Their chips are sooooo good. Greasy but to die for.

The Mex/Tex-Mex menu is plenty diverse, and the combination platter is a good deal if you'd like to try several things. Our steak was cooked medium rare as requested. I was disappointed by the horchata which tasted and looked artificial and syrupy; the texture and flavor were both off. The decor is quite cute and charming. 3.5.

Bloomingdale, NJ - this place is a favorite of the locals and among my top 3 Mexican restaurants in…read morethe area, but is the one we like to dine in at the most because the food is always good, it's homey, and the people are very sweet. I'm always psyched for the salsa here and could probably polish off a whole basket of tortilla chips by myself with it. It's got just the right amount of mild kick. You're given a complimentary cheesy tortilla as an appetizer as well. We often get the queso derretido con chorizo appetizer, a combo platter of some sort, and I'm a fan of their paella as well, which is stuffed to the brim with chicken, chorizo, and seafood. They serve up a complimentary dessert of banana & honey chimichanga at the end which is yummy. The prices have gone up a fair bit in the last couple of years, and they do charge 4% for credit card payment (an increasingly common practice that's anathema to someone who hates carrying cash like me), so I was tempted to take away a star. But in light of our overall great experiences here, always satisfying meals, excellent and friendly service (shoutout to Fabian), not to mention the freebies they throw in, a 5-star rating is still justified.

I really wanted to support a local family-owned business, but it's hard to do that when they're…read moreDISHONEST and SHADY about their prices. It's not about the amount, it's about the PRINCIPLE. Let me explain... Lupita's Cocina serves authentic and homemade Mexican cuisine with fresh ingredients made in-house daily. They just opened this past January. They operate as take-out only, so you can either do pick-up or delivery. You can call your order in or order through one of their third-party systems. I noticed that the menu posted on their website didn't match what was posted on DoorDash or UberEats. There were different menu items on each platform. They should fix that. I recommend calling and ordering directly from the restaurant because we all know third parties jack up the prices with their extra fees... I called to place my order and got tacos (4 per order for $11.99), churro bites with bavarian cream ($3.25), and horchata (20 oz for $3.99). It was ready within 15-20 minutes. I drove over and found street parking right up front. There's really not much of an ambiance. As soon as you walk in, you'll see just a counter and a few metal chairs to the side. Now here's where things went downhill. When the cashier rang me up, the price was a couple dollars more than what I calculated. I did take taxes into account, but there's still no way that the difference in pricing could be that much. Turns out that they charge different prices than what's posted on their website... That's very dishonest. How are you going to be okay with charging customers a different price than what's posted? On top of that, they also have a digital menu in store WITH NO PRICES LISTED (photo attached)... Very sus. I asked the cashier for a physical copy of the menu, and she said "they don't have them yet". Very odd... I took the L and paid in cash since they have a 3% credit card surcharge. No, I didn't tip. I already had a bad taste in my mouth, but to make matters worse, I realized that she forgot to give me my horchata drink. Good thing I checked my bag before I left. I walked back in and asked for it. The website states it's $3.99 for a 20 oz. She handed me a horchata that looked like it was either in a 8 or 10 oz cup. DEFINITELY NOT 20 oz. It wasn't even filled to the top (photo attached). So why charge for a larger size only to give customers a size that is half of it? More dishonesty... To make matters even more worse, the horchata was completely watered down. As for the food? The tacos were actually pretty tasty, but not the best I've ever had. I ordered two with chicken tinga and two with al pastor. There was a good portion of meat topped with onion and cilantro. The al pastor could have been more tangy/sweet and the chicken tinga could have been more smoky/spicy. The churro bites came in a small cup. Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I didn't care for the bavarian cream filling; it didn't add anything to the overall flavor. Never coming back. If you decide to order from here, just be very careful of their shady pricing. Don't be surprised if you spend more than expected.
