This restaurant has the best quesadillas, all their food is great. But I want to say that the best this place has to offer is their people, they are caring, kind and do their job with love! I will be a forever loyal client!

La Lupita used be a good restaurant. Sadly we ate there recently and the enchiladas were the worst I had ever had (a taco with very dry pre-cook chicken inside with some canned sauce poured over the top along with tasteless rice and beans on the side). The burrito and taco salad are just a lot of lettuce and beans; almost no quacamole and cheese to be found. The margarita, chips, and salsa were fine.

Ate here yesterday while I was in Richmond and loved this place so much!!! The staff are the kindest people and so friendly, the service was amazing. We got the super nachos and enchiladas and both were amazing and so flavorful! The nachos were the best nachos I've ever had. The horchata was also very refreshing. I definitely recommend eating here if you want some delicious food! Will definitely come here again the next time I'm in Richmond.

Pretty much the worst burrito and enchiladas I've had. Burrito advertised as with cheeses and guacamole which were non existent. Enchiladas were dry old chicken and a dry tortilla with melted cheese. The equivalent of cleaning out the fridge and using all those leftovers to throw something together. Don't waste your money.

Stopped for the Tesla charger and found this 💎. We were the only ones in at that time, but the place was lively with a bright decor and Rancheras playing. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh and tasty. Portions were generous! I wish this place were closer to my home.

This is the real deal. The green sauce on the enchiladas was excellent. Pastor was spicy with a nice tangy finish. Staff is very chill and friendly. Prices are reasonable. If you're stopping for a charge, I highly recommend this place

Ordered two crispy steak tacos. The taco shell was so old and stale, tasted like pure canola oil. The steak was cold and had no flavor. The cheese was that basic fake cheese. The pico de gallo was not fresh and definitely from a bottle or can. Lettuce was old and soggy. Left my plate as pictured. People seemed nice, although we weren’t greeted when we walked in and picked up our own menus. I was very disappointed in the quality of food.
