The food was excellent and the price was reasonable when I first ate at Lawrence. Then they opened here in Lowell, and the menu is really limited, and the prices are really high. I once asked the restaurant's proprietor why the beef chop was so small and so little, and he said it had always been this way. I've stopped dining here ever since. In the end, the food and the cost are very different. read more

My friends and I split a barbacoa burrito, and some al pastor tacos. Portions are on the smaller side but rightfully justified with the quality and price. Both meals were moist, tender, and flavorful. As part of checking out a latin restaurant, I tried their hot sauce which was more tangy than spicy. Overall, we had a good experience in this clean establishment. There's also a parking lot nearby making it super convenient to pop in or hangout. Would come again. read more

Finally got to try this place after living nearby for over four years LOL; I got the birria taco, al pastor taco, and chorizo taco. I also got a pupusa. I would've gotten the lengua taco instead of the chorizo but they were all out. Al pastor: 5/5 Birria: 5/5 Chorizo: 4/5 just because it's never really been my favorite kind of taco. Pupusa: 5/5 Atmosphere was nice and so were the people working there. Average prices I'd say. Would love to come back soon!! read more

The best beef tongue taco I had was in Boston, but that's quite a distance from where I live. This local Mexican spot is closer. It's quiet inside with a bunch of seatings. Order can be made there or in advance over the phone for pick up. The menu is simple with tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas, gorditas, and a few other specialty plates, meat choices from grilled steak, roast pork, chicken, chorizo, and beef tongue. And there is a pay station for street parking depending on the time of day can be either easy or challenging. Carne Asada De Res (Grilled Streak) Taco Combo- 3 tacos. The steak was dry and a little chewy. And the green sauce, cilantro, salsa, onion are good toppings. Served with a side of rice and beans, plain but edible. Lengua De Res (Beef Tongue) Tacos Combo- 3 tacos. The beef tongue was tender but lacked in flavor. Luckily the same topping green sauce, cilantro, salsa, onion enhanced the tacos. Served with the same rice and beans. Overall Sevice: I agree with a lot of the reviews. They are some of the rudest staff I've ever encounter. I was making an order on the phone and was interrupted with "okay-okay" and they abruptly hung up when I was in mid-order. I had to call back to finish. And then when I came there, checked in, there was a check-in offer for a free soda. The lady immediately shut it down obnoxiously without any explanation. It's not a big deal because it's just a can but I don't like how that was handled. We've been here a couple of times now, I rather drive to Boston than deal with the staff here. read more

Reliable food that's consistent. Fairly priced too except for their tacos. I think you get more out of burrito than you do a taco which is priced at $12 while the burrito is priced at $8. Their steak tacos are very good if you're looking for something close to authentic. Their steak mulitas are my personal fave although it usually takes 10 minutes to make. Their guac and sauces are very water down. The guac is horrible and I wouldn't even call it guac. It has a soup consistency. Their burrito was mediocre. read more

Authentic taco experience! Tacos are prepared with fresh ingredients and priced according. Great value with true Mexican flavors. I highly recommend. Pleasant customer service. Support little neighborhood restaurants like Lupitas! read more

Very delicious authentic food, BUT they need to stop being so stingy with their meats! With the amount they're charging, please be a little more generous. Thanks. P.s. they also charge you if you want more meat! SMH. read more

Their Birria Torta sandwich was amazing! I was kind of nervous on trying something new. I would totally order it again! 10/10. Very fresh and the flavors were very superior! The sandwich had cheese, Mayo, Tomatos, avocados, jalapeños, lettuce, and Birria meat! read more

Another super recommendation by my fellow Yelpers!! My daughter and I were attending a sporting event at UMASS Lowell and I needed to grab a quick lunch and the great reviews led me here. This place is fantastic! The restaurant is on a rather sketchy street and parking can be difficult but the place is inviting and immaculate. I usually don't notice things like that but this restaurant is spotless!! Seriously, you could eat off the floor. My daughter said the bathroom was really clean as well. Most importantly, the food was fresh and delicious! I got the pollo torta which had super tasty grilled chicken and fresh toppings in a soft roll. The size was excellent for the price. My daughter loved the selection of South American sodas but wasn't as thrilled with my pronunciation of "pollo"...apparently "ll" is pronounced as a "y". Not the first time I have embarrassed her. The staff was reserved but very efficient. If I was a student at the nearby university I would be here every damn day!! There were so many things on the menu I wanted to try. read more

The food is great but the service is poor and slow. If youre trying to get a free canned drink when you check in you will not get it. They have horrible parking because they have no where to park and I got 40 parking ticket. If youre planning on coming here to eat you might as well walk here. read more

Great tacos. They have one of my two favorites, tongue. Well cooked and seasoned. The al pastor were also very good.

The carne asada tacos are really good. I appreciate the small size, double tortillas and their hot sauces are really good. read more

Food looks and smell good. But the worker there are nasty. As I was coming in, I see him use a dirty towel wiping down the counter. He then use the same gloves to grab the tacos , onions, cilantro etc. That is disgusting. Change your damn gloves. That is how people get sick! Beware and becareful!!! They give you very little. Also they jack up the price while other taco place still charge normal price!!!!!! Taco lupita in Haverhill North Andover is better read more

The food is well prepared, portions are generous, and the store is very clean BUT: **literally everything needs salt**. It's crazy when you ask for hot sauce (as an example) and it tastes like spicy water... I keep thinking it will get better but after trying a few times it has not. End of the day, there are just too many other Mexican food places around to keep messing with this place. read more

This is the most authentic it gets for Lowell. I've tried the 'competition' and they just don't compare due to their gentrified dishes to attract the college students in the area. Tacos Lupita may take longer than the time you have- but plan for 20 minutes for some authentic Mexican food. You really won't get it from anywhere else in the area (trust me i've tried and failed miserably). Unless you're willing to drive to boston which is the holy mecca of all cultured foods (and even that needs some work), if you're in the area, give them a try! I feel connected to the workers now, although I understand some people in past reviews didn't feel like they were 'friendly' enough. I always tip, and I know they are always trying their best. Thank you so much, I wish I knew the names, but I can't wait to give back in a bigger way down the line, they deserve it. read more

Service at the counter was very poor. The guy taking orders decided it would be a good idea to argue with my girlfriend about the difference between the words combo and combination. The kitchen is so loud, right behind the counter, that you have to yell for anyone to hear you. And they have no way of communicating what I ordered to what I'm charged for. Just a poorly executed restaurant in my opinion. Which is a shame because with a little more though this place could be really good. This taqueria was made to cater to the majority in the area, who are of Latin roots. With that said, I believe this establishment will do well despite itself. read more

the staff were prompt & friendly. food was pretty good. price is great. quality of ingredients is pretty good. super convenient location for uml north campus. not blown away tho. read more

Tacos Lupita - burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Hidden gem. Burrito was wonderfully blended with rice, beans, spices, and citrus. Best burrito I have had in a long time.

This review is from 2 years ago I posted on Google: Rudest staff. Anytime I ask for double beans or meat I get rude head shaking from the guy employee who works their every afternoon. After spending hundreds of dollars there a semester you would think I would get some type of respect back. Other than that, the food is great. read more

Ended up here after checking around to see what was a good local after touring UMass Lowell. Glad we ended up at this little gem. Parking is street and you pay the meter at a pay station machine. The food is pretty much prepped right in front of you. I had the pleasure of eating the taco combo plate which comes with 3 tacos (I ordered 2 chicken, 1 steak) rice and beans. They have 2-3 different levels of hot sauce, they were okay. They needed an extra kick for my personal liking. The tacos were really good though. My cousin had the chicken quesadillas which looked more like a flat burrito but either way she really enjoyed it. Staff was pleasant and they honored the free can offer that comes with checking in on Yelp. If I were closer to Lowell this would be one of my little go to spots for a quick bite. read more

Tacos Lupita - 3 taco combo - Mexican Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Went here in hopes for a Birria tacos and was excited to see this place is serving them so off I go on this cold winters day to satisfy my fix only to order and get something different. When they asked what I want on my taco I looked at it and say "no I ordered the Birria not the regular soft taco." They informed me the meat is Birria... I explained and showed them pictures of what Birria means to me as it should be a fried tortilla with queso lining the outside with the meat dripping with deliciousness. This taco didn't even have cheese... false advertisement was highly disappointed and won't be back. read more

I moved from Texas not too long and I was craving a Mexican torta . So I gave this place a shot and I was disappointed. It wasn't that great. Definitely need works on the taste of the food . The employees were rude too. read more

Tacos Lupitas is a great addition to the UMass Lowell north campus. I always get a chicken taco, excellent - filled with fresh ingredients and very tasty. I especially like their hot sauce, which is quite spicy. Note that they do have jalapenos, but they're out of sight below the counter - ask. $2.94 per over stuffed taco - how can you beat that? read more

Very clean place when you enter, depending on what time you come there can be a line to the door. For me this place is a hit or miss. I come here for the mulitas and the last two times I came in to be denied of my multas. Got them today so happy. Girlfreind enjoyed her polo tortas. This time We enjoyed our food . We will see next time. Usually there a kid that makes the burritos that looks like he hates the world, if he was here today I would of gave this place a 1 star but today they had pleasant workers. read more

Ordered a burrito, quesadilla, and taco. All chicken, and it was all very bland and had NO FLAVOR! My burrito also only had a pinch of each ingredient, it was so unsatisfying! read more

The food was ok and the place has potential to do well, but the customer service from the guy serving was terrible. They do not honor the free canned drink with the yelp app. They skimp on every taco. I ordered a bunch and the guy was putting half a spoon in there. What was funny was that I ordered quesadilla and he put rice and beans and also rolled it like a burrito and said thats how we do it here. How is Yelp displaying 4 stars at the top when every review is a low score ?? read more

Nice lady's they even helped showing us how to pay the parking fee and food was bomb but the tortilla was a bit bland but it was good

It is great. A Spanish speaking woman in front of me ordered a burrito and I'm not sure what they put in it but it looked so good that I just said I want that. It was steak and a bunch of love! I got the verde sauce. She was very nice and told me that she really liked the place. She ordered for me in Spanish and basically hooked me up. The guy from Guatemala was very friendly too and knew I was happy to be there. I'm not in Lowell often but I will plan to be eating there the next time I go read more

Food is really good. They tend to skimp on the meat in my opinion but other than that pretty solid restaurant.

It's cheap (in price) It's rich (in flavor) It's spotlessly clean and you leave full. I really don't know what else you want people read more

Our favorite local taco/burrito joint. Super close to UML and inexpensive for a student budget. Tacos are $2.75 a piece, and for less than $6 you can get a burrito stuffed with your choice of meat (chicken, pork, carne asada, lengua...) and a whole bunch of fillings, all of which are well seasoned. Their salsa for chips is more like a pico de gallo, which I like. It's all very fresh and light tasting, not your typical American-style Mexican restaurant that's greasy and heavy as far as the tacos and burritos go. Lots of beverage selections, including my favorite, Jarritos. My only warning for the food is that if you get hot sauce on your food, prepare for your tongue to be en fuego - it's mighty spicy! I am all about the spicy food but this was probably one of the sweatier hot sauces that I've ever had in my life. The atmosphere in the restaurant is pretty Spartan, but it's clean and bright and pleasant. Staff is very nice. Lots of easy, cheap nearby street parking, even during the school year. read more

I love Tacos Lupita. Literally a perfect portioned burrito. When I crave burritos, I always go to them. The tortilla... a gift from the heavens. It is so good it's unbelievable. I always get the carne asada burrito with a cup of their horchata. Sketchy area but there's parking behind the restaurant. Friendly staff but very soft spoken. It's a must try in this college town. read more

I love it here. Quick, cheap, fresh ingredients and delicious a staple of the Merrimack Valley.

First time there today and I had the Lengua de res burrito (cow tongue) and let me tell You I do not write reviews unless I really enjoyed the food. The cow tongue was cooked to perfection tender and juicy especially with the pico, guacamole, cilantro and extra hot sauce .... authentic as it can get out in the east coast read more

Best. Tacos. Ever. They make Birria , and even though it is not made out of lamb. The flavor comes real close to the ones in Mexico. Great place. read more

This place is awesome! Clean and plenty of seatings. Great service and great tacos. My favorite are grilled steak and pork tacos for 2.99$ each comes with double tortilla and your choices of toppings. Very delicious authentic tacos. I would give it a 5 if they include a whole grilled leek and slices of radish with the order. read more

Great food and super friendly service! Will come back for sure, good atmosphere also. Ahuevo! read more

Service is slow but food is great! I'm not a fan of the burrito places in Massachusetts (ex: Anna's Taqueria), but I really like this place. Food portion is great and it's relatively cheap. I usually get the quesadilla, which is basically a cheese burrito. read more

Parking is tuff in the area, mainly a UMass crowd- Always a good stop to get your burrito on it's a good amount of food for just under 6$ and that gets it the "FatGuy" recommends! read more

Nice atmosphere but definitely not the best food. The carne asada was ok but the chicken was really bad. The chicken was in a container where there also was a lot of water. It was very weird, will not be coming back read more
