Updating my review from 4 years ago: This is still the best chilaquiles I have had in New York and my go to spot! I don't live nearby so I use Uber eats but get their chilaquiles and you won't be disappointed!!!
I love the food here, I live in the neighborhood but stop coming for a while because of the service. The waiter take extremely long to bring water and to take if you need anything during your meal. I came today after not coming for about9'months and still the service is the same. Maybe more waitress are needed. I have heard this serve from friend and family that enjoy your food but think twice and coming for the service reason. I hope you guys do better. I hope so because I do like this restaurant...
Great Mexican food and service. My husband and I come every week to one of their restaurants (there are three that we go to).
The shrimp tacos.... Get them with everything!! And the frozen margaritas don't change they're so good
If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Spanish Harlem, then this is the place you want to check out! Lupitas is great for all hours of the day with a vast variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have live music on weekends and great service. Highly recommend you give it a try! Ps- if you love sopes( their steak sopes are delicious!!!) & highly recommend their shrimp nachos!
The drinks are good, the food is beautifully flavored and even the entertainment was good (there was a bit of a scuffle while we were dinning in, no big woop in the hood). With one wait staff working on the day our very large group walked in she did an exceptional job worthy of all praise. Asking about everyone loved their meals with not one single dissatisfied customer (including children!) Overall it's a shame this is so out of the way (and that certain clientele ruin it); for me I'd love to be a regular.
Superb. Some of the best nachos I've had in New York City. $13 with a bottled Victoria Lager and I am almost as happy as I've ever been. The nachos start strong with a generous layer of hearty, freshly fried tortilla chips. And! They didn't get soggy! Not even with all the buttery black beans! Or the decadent, juicy carnitas! The cheesy top layer was a stringy combination of Oaxaca and mozzarella so it had a really sexy pull to it. I will also say that the nacho plate had a great ratio of chips to creaminess to acid for freshness. However, I drowned mine in their house tomatillo salsa because it was good enough to bathe in. Finally, it is responsible to advise that Lupita's won't likely be the most graceful dining experience. I loved walking in to a full restaurant at 3 pm - a definite good sign - but the server was clearly overwhelmed. While the food came out fast and hot, everything else was a challenge. Who cares though I'm so happy. Happy hour starts at noon!
I order food for delivery a late snack, I order the pozole soup which is a hominy soup with pork came with two beans tostada. Delicious and hot, I love the fact that the food was actually hot. All the extra ingredients to season your soup. We also ordered the pancita soup it was delicious as-well but it is spicy. The pancita came With warm tortillas on the side which is a plus. I loved it and the delivery guy was very polite. Will be ordering from here again.
Lupitas East Harlem I'm on a roll having Five Star Dining Experiences this week. I had another Five Star today at Lupitas. I was welcomed as soon as I arrived. I was taken through the safety drill complete with having my temperature taken and a few questions in case they need to reach me. Jessica was on the task wearing her mask. She didn't mind me running around taking photos. I said I'd dine in if it was okay and I pointed to a seat for two that was close to the front. Due to my food allergies I ordered the Taco Salad my way. I had a side of sour cream added to use as a salad dressing. Since they don't use ground beef I opted for the shrimp. It was six pieces which is plenty! The salad had cucumbers, radishes, onions, corn, black beans and a tiny taste of guacamole. I could have eaten more black beans for sure. Naturally my favorite part was the taco shell. It was fresh and delicious. No need for desert. In fact I'm so full I won't be eating for the rest of the day! I haven't eaten that much since before last March! Jessica was so nice and the atmosphere is relaxing. The music was traditional and calming for eating. Since I was the only person dining in I felt safe. I arrived when they opened up at around 11am. When I left the place was still empty. Come in and enjoy people. This place is great food! I'm recommending. They have take out and delivery too!
High quality Mexican food is very common in Los Angeles. But it is a little harder to come by in NYC's five boroughs. This was said to me by classmates and fellow transplants from LA. But nevertheless, I made it one of my missions to find the good Mexican food places in NYC. Lupita's is definitely on the good list. I found this restaurant listed on my UberEats app. I was craving chilaquiles, and so that is what I ordered. The food was outstanding, as expected. The eggs, the chicken, and the chilaquiles were freshly cooked and very flavorful. The green sauce was spicy, and reminded me of the chilaquiles that I had in Merida a few years back. I was left very satisfied, and impressed by Lupita's. If you ever crave good Chilaquiles, give this place a try!
