It's 100% worth every cent because everything is fresh and full of flavor. They also have a menu if you want to order and eat there, which we love. The tacos and burritos are always delicious, and OMG the birria is amazing. My whole family loves eating here. Thankfully we live about 5 minutes away, so we come often. The ambience is always welcoming, the staff is friendly and helpful and it's always clean and stocked. I also love that they have a salsa bar where you can grab salsas, pico, lime, and more. The place is always busy, which says a lot because everyone clearly loves it. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic, flavorful food.

Horrible dining experience. Went there with a friend from out of state because we had heard good…read morethings about this place from reddit which I deeply regret listening to. Everything took more than 45min to come out and it came out staggered so we could not eat together. I wish the place would have told me about the wait because ofc I would have ordered something else. It took over 30min for our first dish to come (carnitas burrito) and when it did, it was emaciated with way too much tortilla to stuffing, and the meat was very dry and overdone. My fiance said he has had better burritos at Chipotle. My friend from out of state said hers was a very basic cheese quesadilla. We asked for an update on how long the qiesabirria plate would take and the server would not give us an answer only that it was "backed up." Everyone was finished dby the time it came out. They didn't offer a refund initially but did acquiesce when asked, and still gave us the dish. ...It was bad. Everything was so dry. The beans tasted days old. The birria consome was watered down and bland which I didn't think was possible for birria to be. Even the onions, cilantro, and lime could not save the tacos as they were dryer than the Sonora desert. Honestly I'm the most upset that after all of that, the food wasn't even good. Idk I feel like if you throw a stone, you can get better Mexican food at wherever it lands in Tucson. This place was absolutely not worth the hype and we will not be returning. I feel so bad that I took my out of state friend here who was looking forward to good Mexican food. All the drinks were good. That's about the only good thing I have to say about this place.

Our waiter, Jesus, was awesome - friendly, attentive, and really helpful with the menu. We ordered the quesabirrias and... wow. They do them a little differently - kind of like a layered quesadilla folded taco-style - and the flavor was seriously on point. Paired it with their micheladas, which were just as good. They've got a huge menu with plenty of options, but honestly, I'd go back just for that combo again. Only regret is I ate it too fast to get a picture . Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Most of the menu items are Tex-Mex but there are also burgers, ribs and wings. There were only two vegetarian options: a veggie burrito and fried cauliflower "wings". I was curious about the cauliflower "wings" so I ordered that. I was expecting the cauliflower to be fried or look like wings. However, the cauliflower was just baked and barely cooked. It was served with dipping options, celery and carrots. I ate the cauliflower but I was disappointed in the dish. I could easily have made this at home. The agua fresca jamaica drink made from hibiscus flowers was good.

The carne asada fries were loaded and not skimpy on the meat. Tacos had a good balance without being greasy. You can tell this is the kind of place people in town already know about. Nothing flashy, just solid food done right. Prices were reasonable too considering how expensive eating out has gotten lately.

First time to 143 Tacos in Sierra Vista. Not sure why so many 4 and 5 star reviews. I ordered the…read moreCarne Asada Burrito. Not very good... 2 stars at best. It is huge... easily big enough for two people. But it is mostly stuffed with smushed rice with a tiny bit of beans and cabbage and meat. The carne asada was very dry and flavorless and had some inedible gristle. I definitely would not order the carne asada burrito again. Having said this, the place was very busy, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing or caught them on a bad day. The customers appeared to be regulars, mostly groups of soldiers and civilians who looked like they worked together on base and were having lunch break together. Staff were very friendly, fast, and the restaurant has a cool local positive vibe. Not really a cheap place either... $23 for burrito, drink and tip. May try again.

I highly, highly recommend the adobada. The barbacoa and carne asada were also very good. Feeling spicy and adventurous? Try the chicharrones! I normally do like lengua, but theirs wasn't my favorite. At 16.50 pesos per taco (~$1) though, you can try them all. The corn tortillas are homemade and absolutely amazing. You can watch the ladies shape and cook fresh tortillas while you dine. The atmosphere is like a cafe and was always packed when we went. Service is super friendly. You can pay in pesos or dollars. Give Lupitas a shot, you won't be disappointed!

They have a smaller menu which makes it easier to choose, and you can even tell the agua frescas they offer are fresh made-- delicious!

Even the chef was talking with us and made sure that we didn't miss the complimentary salsa bar! The restaurant itself was super clean and beautifully decorated! They have a spacious patio with fans which will be nice in the summer. We cannot wait to go back!!

We got the carne asada, chicken asado, and mushroom tacos. All three were quite good, but I actually found the mushroom to be my personal favorite! The mushrooms were super well seasoned and accompanied by deliciously caramelized grilled onions. The salsa bar has a good array of salsa in the standard flavor and heat profiles (tomatillo salsa, chiltepin salsa, etc.) as well as a few cremas such as cilantro and habanero. The habanero is probably my favorite, but a word to the wise: even if you love spice, use it sparingly. I enjoy heat, and this one is hot enough to give me hiccups! This is a very casual place, but the service was still good.

The service is consistently excellent; so much so that a few of the servers recognize me and already know my drink and appetizer order when I walk in. My usual happy hour order is the carne asada fries with a "Happy" margarita, and it's a perfect combo. I also love sitting on the patio with friends and enjoying the fresh air. Even on warmer Tucson days, it's comfortable thanks to the shade and relaxed atmosphere. For my meal, I usually go with the shrimp tacos, though the adobo chicken tacos are another favorite. The salsa bar has a decent variety, so it's easy to switch things up each time you come in. Is it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? No. But it's one of those places that hits the spot every single time, and that's the reason I keep coming back. Great service, my favorite local happy hour, and a comfortable place to unwind, eat some good food and have a few drinks. Highly recommend!!
