La Lupita

Not the most amazing Mexican food we’ve had in Bethlehem but certainly wasn’t the worst. El Grande Burrito was rather bland and the rectangular plates make for an awkward eating experience. The best thing we had were the street tacos, I would highly recommend ordering 2-3 per person and making that your delicious meal choice. The staff is friendly and quick, the atmosphere is authentic and comfortable.

I had high hopes for this place. I was a bit let down though. I expected more flavor for being an authentic Mexican restaurant. It’s definitely not the worst but didn’t meet the bar with flavor. I had the chicken tostadas, the beef nachos, and chicken flautas. The chicken from the tostadas was juicy but lacked flavor. It seemed bland to me and to a friend that I shared with. We both agreed on that. The beef nachos were good. I probably enjoyed it the most. The flautas had good flavor but maybe fried a little too long for my liking. I felt as if it was over fried. I did not hate any of these but I wanted more from the flavor. I also tired they home made hot sauce which was very spicey but had a really good flavor! I put it on everything and it made it more palatable for me.

I ordered a fajita mix for lunch by gruhub, because I never had eaten there and I wanted to try. But the meat and the vegetable looked like it was boiled. They sent the rice and beans in 2 oz cups that it is like 1 spoon of each. That dish was joke.

Yummmm!! Loved visiting La Lupita. Such a nice vibe inside with great service. So many options to choose from- we went with guac & chips and a burrito. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

Having endured numerous “Mexican restaurants“ that are really American restaurants in disguise I was delighted that this is the “real deal“. The tacos that I had had doubled tortillas, which is nice because they don’t fall apart. I had chorizo and Tinga. The flavor was excellent. I also had a bowl of Menudo. Everybody makes their menudo differently. It wasn’t too bad. The tripe was cut up into small squares , which made it easier to eat. Unfortunately I found the soup tasting more like Manhattan clam chowder. I was there with seven other people and they all enjoyed their meals. I definitely recommend this place.
