About this business
Editorial fromDespite the authentic-sounding name, this friendly SoHo spot isn't the oasis of Mexican cuisine that California transplants have been looking for in the Big Apple. But despite that, the burritos and other Mexican staples are…

Real Mexican Food – I am from Southern California and have scoured New York to find Mexican food similar to the type served on the left coast. I was elated when I found Lupe's. If one is looking for "L.A. Style" Mexican food (which I consider to be real Mexican food) then go to Lupe's. I had the steak burrito which is served with Mexican rice and lettuce and tomato on the side. It's nothing to look at, but the taste is authentic. If one is familiar with "Chano's" or "El Coyote" in Los Angeles then expect the same quality and... read more
Good Food – I really love the food at Lupe's. Nice solid Mexican that reminds me of food I have had in Southern California. It isn't much to look at though and I wouldn't take someone I was trying to impress with there. I would reccomend it to my less pretentious acquiantances though.
Good, but not for a date. – Just don't bring your date to this cheap looking restaurant on the border of SOHO and the West Village. The Food is fine, but the decor reminds you why NYC is such a great place to live.
Good For a Quickie – The food is adequate, authentic and inexpensive, but this is a glorified "Mexican Diner". Not a good place to go out with a group. Only regular margaritas (no frozen... can't you buy a blender?), beer and low-grade wine. The same waiter can be friendly, absent-minded or bitter, all within the span of an hour. If you're local, try it, but it's not worth going out of your way for.
the best mexican... – granted, it's a small place and gets packed for lunch but this place delivers. i always order the enchilada suaza...it's the best!!
casual and yummy Cal-Mex – Especially if you find yourself in the neighborhood of the Knitting Factory--and hungry--fairly often, Lupe's is a godsend. Hefty portions of L.A.-style Mexican food, plus a great selection of Mexican beers (and margaritas!) complete the picture.
