Lupita’s is amazing. I have had the Miguel’s bowl, enchiladas, and fajitas - never disappointed. Finding great mexican cuisine in Oakland is no longer a problem. This is not tex-mex or American fast food. It is authentic, fresh, from scratch Mexican food. You can tell by the tortillas that this food is made with passion. The staff is friendly and makes effort to remember the names of their regulars. Great hours and convenient.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Matthew B · Jun 2025

Rude and overpriced, speaking of prices- they have none. Except the rice and beans- $3.99 right? Nope, for 4oz sides of rice and beans with my tacos I was charged $7.90 additional. Not even sure how that happened, but the cashier insisted that I was wrong and that they do indeed charge nearly $1/oz of rice(or beans). That’s insane, and incorrect according to the menu. When I asked about menu prices, they said they didn’t have them yet. That makes no sense, they have a tv as a menu board. Just put the prices on the menu? I prefer to give my business to local places, but this is just ridiculous. Pictures of the menu included for reference.

Absolutely delicious!! The quesabirria special was super fresh, tender and full of quality ingredients. To make the experience even better, the staff were incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food 😄😋🥰

★★★★★ 5.0 Lauren Heim · Nov 2025

Food is excellent! Fresh ingredients, meat is slow cooked & tender. Reminds me of home comfort food. I think prices are quite reasonable given all the fresh ingredients & everything is homemade
