    Really enjoyed the food here! The chicken burrito was packed with flavor, and I loved that the meat wasn't greasy at all. The al pastor tacos were also really good -- tender, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The salsa was delicious too and added the perfect amount of flavor to everything. Portions were satisfying and everything tasted fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    I'm hugely disappointed in this place. I asked the guy taking my order that I want a Carne asada burrito with no beans and no pico de mayo. I took a bite and IMMEDIATELY tasted a lot of mush (beans) and tomato (pico de gallo). The burrito had NO MEAT. I wish I was exaggerating when I say this. I basically paid over $18 for a super burrito. It had NO MEAT OR SOUR CREAM. It was such a waste of my money and time. This is such an unfortunate situation as I live very close to this Mexican place and was very excited for it to open. I'll take my service elsewhere.

    Al pastor, carnitas, and asada tacos

    This spot is a new brick and mortar but it's the same as the taco truck of the same name. Very solid taco spot and a worthy addition to the Santa Clara Mexican scene. Service is quick and the staff are friendly. I always do a carnitas, an al pastor, and an asada when I'm trying a new spot. From least to most tasty, I'd rank them as asada, as pastor, and carnitas. If you're not sure what you get asada is a great choice, if you tend to go for al pastor and like a slightly more adobado style, then you'll love the one here. Carnitas tend to be the most hit or miss at taco spots, but these are definitely a hit: big tender pieces with crisp salty sides. One area for improvement would be their salsas. The spicy orange is definitely spicy but is lacking flavor, the tomatillo salsa is a great viscosity but is a little bland, and the avocado salsa is good but just feels like it's missing a little something. On the upside, tacos come with plenty of of onion and cilantro and the limes and grilled onions are excellent additions. I've also had a burrito here but I think this is more of a taco spot. The rice and beans were okay but a little lacking in salt. Definitely opt for the super burrito as the additions add much needed flavor. If you're in the mood for a burrito, this will definitely still hit, but I think they shine more with their tacos.

    How fun to see this place go from a Taco Truck to a Taqueria! I visited Sunday afternoon and it was filled with people but not busy, which was nice. I ordered the Quesabirria and it came with complimentary chips & salsa. The birria was very tender, flavorful, and very cheesy (yum). The consome was flavorful but I didn't use too much since the Quesabirria itself is super flavorful.

    Yes, this is the same place that owns the Taco Truck in Sunnyvale. They now have a restaurant in Santa Clara. The restaurant is right on the corner of El Camino and Lafayette exactly where a Thai restaurant used to be. The food is just as delicious as their truck and they have a salsa bar and serve you fresh chips with salsa. The staff was incredibly friendly and we met the owner as well. They just opened Friday, May 15. Go show them some love!

    Excellent food and even better customer service. I ordered the mojarra frita (fried fish) and it was seasoned well. It was accompanied with rice, salsa, and tortilla. The salsa bar was stocked with various salsas and the owners came around checking on everybody. I've eaten at their food truck in Sunnyvale and it's so nice that they opened up a brick-and-mortar store down the street from my work. Highly recommend!

    Good service. Nice people. Very average food. After reading previous reviews, we gave it a try and were a bit disappointed.

Lupita's is an eatery serving authentic Mexican cuisine, located in an unnamed shopping center on El Camino Real in Santa Clara. Luckily, I was able to find a spot to park in the tiny lot. I visited before they expanded as a panadería. At that time, the venue was small, a single, clean & cozy dining room with hardwood flooring, blue painted walls, wooden tables & chairs, and decorative ceiling tiles. Maximum occupancy was likely about 80 persons. I purchased for to-go, so didn't receive any table service after placing 2 A LA CARTE orders of Flautas (3, $8.50) + One Flauta (1, $2.99) at the counter. I requested that each flauta be cut in half and all the toppings packed separately in different containers. My requests were happily granted with a warm smile and the Flautas, filled with shredded chicken, were fried to a perfectly golden crisp. Too bad that I live too far from Lupita's to frequent. I would love to return to dine in, especially now that they double as a taquería and panadería.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

We ordered right away and were served in a timely manner. Chips and guacamole - 5/5 Chicken Mole plate - 3/5 Enchiladas- 3/5 Ordered lemonade for drink, which was never served until we asked for it again, towards the end of our meal. The service is not the best and you have to try hard to catch the servers attention. The food was better this time, but not as good as many other Mexican restaurants. It is not what I consider authentic Mexican food.
