Lupe's Tortillas offers a no-fuss dining experience that kids and parents can both enjoy. A large outdoor sandbox keeps kids and tots occupied through the wait, while Mom and Dad join other area thirty-somethings on the deck for one of Lupe's tangy, potent margaritas. Though best known for its uniquely flavored fajitas, Lupe's offers a variety of flavorful Tex-Mex selections that can delight even the pickiest of eaters. Dishes such as the Chicken Lupe and tacos al carbon are served along with bottomless baskets of chips and spicy beans and salsa. The appropriate Tex-Mex decorations adorn the walls of this former single-family house, and the waitstaff add a dash of color with their festive Hawaiian shirts.

Most guests don't seem to mind the usual wait, but, if you are the impatient kind, call ahead for a takeout order. Folks keep coming back to this place, sometimes from as far away as San Antonio and Austin, so that should tell you something about the quality of the food. -- Amy Kerr

    Don't waste your time or mine on this one. I wasn't impressed with the food, the service, or prices. And I went during the week, no on a busy weekend for my first time. I even gave them a second chance just to see if I'd happended on bad day for the chef & waiter but even the second time was bad.

    Tried Lupes for the first time on a Friday night, very crowded, waited about 45 minutes for a party of two, but the wait was quite enjoyable, great margaritas. The restaurant is small, and cozy, and the food is wonderful, had the beef fajitas, best I have ever had. The staff was warm and courtious, service, while not 5 star, excellent for the atmosphere. All in all, one of the best Mexican dining experiences I have had. West Houston's worst kept secret I suppose!

    We have had Mexican food all over the world. This one is consistently the best. You can't beat the Fajitas. They can be a little slow at times, but if you tell them what you expect then service is not a problem they will respond. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars are the bathrooms, despite the charm of the surroundings they should really improve them.

    Mystic1016 always drags me there when she's home. I go willingly because, as she says, it's the best. And now I'm also a very patient person! And now I'm also really hungry too. So off to Lupe's we go! Hasta luego!

    I ave been to all four of their Houston locations and they do such agresat job of making them all feel the same,and the quality of the food consistent with theoriginal location off hwy6 and I-10, they are definitely kid oriented and make you feel you came to the right place....but if you are in a hurry forget it they do things their way and you need to be ready for the whole Lupe's experience...don't try them the first time on a weekend it can be too busy.....I like them asnd we meet sooh many of our friends there too.....
