Lupe Tortilla

Lupe's was one of the first places that I ate at when I first moved to Houston. I had tried tex-mex food elsewhere before, but having it IN Texas at Lupe's was a whole different thing. This place just has a special place in my heart. I'd go here with some of my closest friends, and we'd split fajita platters. Really glad I got to swing by this place again while I was visiting Houston.

BEST TX-MX EVER! Did I get attaboys from my out of town family, bringing them here. The bean dip kills. My fajita beef quesadillas looked meh but tasted so savory, I embarrassed myself and finished my plate before anyone else. No room for dessert. All five is were delighted by our choices. I'm coming back on my birthday. Upon first arrival, the place was the familiar hubbub of loud music and drinking patrons but we were sat in a quasi outside area all by ourselves initially. The Thursday night traffic on Shepherd wasn't as bad as expected. The next table to be seated was a young couple with a sleepy dachshund, no issues with pets. Went back last night, tried the green enchiladas, so disappointed. The Jack cheese was unnoticed, the chili was a small pond hidden under two of the three enchiladas, where were the flavors I expected in every fork load? They were busy but not slammed, we were seated immediately upon arrival (6:00pm). Service was attentive but even my wife's red enchiladas were dry enough for her to complain, a rarity. We hope our next visit will wow us again, when we order other entrees. Lupe Steak, 14oz, so my son had some steak to take home, he eyeballed me devouring three-quarters of it.

Food is great & has a unique flavor that separates itself from other Tex-Mex restaurants. The atmosphere is cool and will keep anybody busy, there's so many things to look at. The presentation of the food was great and everything from the salsa to the meal as spaced out well so you may enjoy each without feeling rushed. I enjoyed this place and will definitely go back again.

Atmosphere was horrid seeing my server do an absolutely amazing job while the “managing partner” was waltzing around on his phone along with numerous other employees standing around doing nothing while my server could’ve probably used a hand. A tray of dirty plates was behind us the entire meal. Server had 4+ large tables and again was great, communicated with us the whole meal. Food was slow, but great, drinks were slow but good. Good service overall but mainly do to Jasmine.

This place is always yummy. The tortillas taste home made and are huge. This sounds silky but the only negative is that the home made Chios are too soft to scoop up the guacamole, the guacamole is so yummy! But, the chips break trying to scoop it. One of my favorite Tex meC locations (and I’m hard on them!!!!!)
