Arlington's best kept secret. I love this place! The food is excellent! Best fajita I've had in years, really tasty and huge! And they know what a true Chili Relleno is, you will not be disappointed, its a large breaded pepper stuffed with creamy delicious cheese. Not cut up pepper bits in cheese sauce like I've had in other "Mexican" places. The chips are warm, the salsa really good, and the chicken enchiladas are to die for. Do not pass this by! Subway is next door, but pass it up and go here! You will thank me!
Delicious Authentic Mexican Food. I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. The food arrives hot and the portions are huge! I normally get the steak quesadilla with rice, lettuce guacomole and sour cream. The nachos are also amazing. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant hands down. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed!
Great food. Everything I've had from here has been well seasoned, served hot and delicious. Definitely will be back.
Great Food. The portions are huge. The decor not much to look at but the food is fabulous. Very authentic . Exceptional menu choices. Consistent quality. It is run by Santos and Lupita who are a wonderful, warm, friendly couple. We have eaten there hundreds of times over the last 5 years and it never disappoints you. You leave happy, full and knowing that you will be back.
Genuine in so many ways. We've been regulars at this hole-in-the-wall since 2008. The food is always delicious, made to order, and exactly right. Try the carne asada, fajitas, pollo loco, any seafood platter. This is a hard working family that extends that "homely" feel to all customers and earns your patronage. Happy Eats!
If you love Mexican food.... I read some of the negative reviews on here and think those people should consider trying Lupita's again. I have never experienced the things they complained about. The food has always been hot, fresh and delicious. Try their shrimp cocktail, you won't be disappointed. In my opinion, if you love Mexican food and eat here once, you'll be back again and again.
Read the reviews, my wife said best chili-relleno ever, I had menudo, fantastic. We will be returing. Great Margarita's. Salsa was authentic and the service couldn't have been friendlier.

Great Food. The employees are nice and the food is great. There will be no way you will leave this place hungry. If you do then you didn't eat.
Super friendly. Best Mexican food in JAX. Awesome chile rellano
Yum Yummy ... Delicious.. Great food. The standard of food taste just like I was back in California. I tried several other Mexican restaurants around Jax but none could compare to Lupita's. Like all the other people...do not judge a book by its cover... Lupita is by far the most authentic Mexican food restaurant that I have tasted here.
Lupitas has exactly what you need from a Mexican restaurant. The food is authentic and tasty. They even have take out if you're feeding a large party.
Small family owned Truley Authentic Mexican scratch cooking! Stopped in as we were on a road trip, cooked to order and food was delicious 😋
The food is amazing! Tender, juicy, melt in your mouth meats. Spicy and flavorful homemade hot sauce! (Ask for it! It's green, full of flavor, and everything you want to spice up your food!). Perfectly cooked soft rice! It's a well loved small spot with a good amount of tables and counter seats. Very friendly service and food was quick. Cozy and authentic! We will be back!
Go here all the time. Fantastic food, excellent prices and the staff are beyond friendly and welcoming. This place is the reason I'm so fat. Highly recommend you stop by and try some delicious food.
Been going here for years. Ms. Lupita and Santos are awesome. The food is authentic Southern California/ Mexican style cooking and very affordable. Nothing is rushed, so just relax and enjoy the plentiful portions of great Mexican food. JAX best kept secret.
Pleasantly surprised! I rate Mexican restaurants on a single dish. However, here I was surprised to have a very favorable fish taco. Will be returning!

Authentic Mexican food, this is among the best spots for Mexican food In Jax, don’t be fooled by appearance this place undoubtedly is the supreme, top tier, food to feed the soul place to go. If you haven’t been you’re missing out, the only other place I recommend is a food truck in Jax beach.
Had authentic steak tacos! This is a small but family owned taqueria and cafe run by a husband and wife.
I lived in Texas for a good portion of my childhood and I had Mexican food at least once a week. I’m very picky when it comes to Mexican food and I’ll only eat it if it’s authentic. With that being said, the food at Lupita’s was amazing. I ordered steak fajitas and as soon as they were delivered to my table, all eyes were on my plate. Someone came in to pick up a to go order and ended up adding steak fajitas to their order because mine looked and smelled so good! The customer service was excellent and the food speaks for itself. I will DEFINITELY be returning!
Real and cheap. The beef in the enchiladas was very flavorful. Personally, I'm used to flour tortillas but corn tortillas are more authentic. Paid $16 for two meals.
