Lupe Tortilla – a restaurant with roots in Texas and a
reputation for serving handcrafted, high-quality Texas-Mex cuisine in a
welcoming atmosphere. Established in 1983 in a modest 1940s-frame house in
Houston, it quickly became a local favorite. Lupe Tortilla has stayed true
to its standards—only fresh ingredients, scratch-made recipes, and cozy but
evolving atmosphere. Lupe Tortilla’s menu is made of Tex-Mex tradition, crafted
with authenticity. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there: limes are hand-squeezed,
the famous lime-pepper-marinated fajitas are renowned, and their signature
margaritas are made to order with fresh squeezed juices and premium
tequilas.
Regional Tex-Mex chain known for its homemade tortillas & variety of margaritas.

We came here last week for our first time. There was a 15 minute wait, which wasn’t bad but we went straight to the bar. The bartender was super friendly and made me an amazing drink called the skinny margarita and I’ve had them before but this one tasted beyond delicious because they make them with fresh lime juice hands down. The food is delicious. Even the chef came out to meet us because it was our first time and he gave us a sample of their steak skirt, which was delicious. Their fajitas are definitely how I would do it. Next time I go this time I had to try their enchiladas which were delicious.

Ordered the regular queso and added bacon — and wow, it turned out really good. The flavor was on point in everything we tried. Their salsa especially stood out — it had this zesty lime flavor I absolutely loved, and every bite was just packed with flavor. The beans they serve with the chips were also super tasty.
Our first batch of chips was a little stale, but the second batch came out hot, crispy, and fresh — totally redeemed it. We ordered between 7–8 p.m. on a Saturday, so I expected a bit of a wait, but it took closer to an hour for the food to come out. Thankfully, the salsa, beans, and queso kept us satisfied while we waited.
For entrées, we got the classic enchiladas and the steak and enchiladas combo (medium rare), and both came out perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The only real miss of the night was the lemonade — it was nearly clear and pretty watered down, so we just switched to water instead.
Overall, our server Jacob was awesome — friendly, attentive, and super accommodating. Despite the longer wait and the lemonade flop, the food definitely made up for it. I’ll for sure be back — love me some good, flavor-packed, authentic(ish) Mexican food! ❤️

The food was delicious. I ordered the barbacoa and egg tacos for breakfast and was not disappointed. The salsa they give you with the chips is sensational. I was in a rush and had to pick up to go but I’m sure the service is also great. I might stop by for those tacos if I am ever in the area.

Excellent food and service. Thanks Rianna, you’re great! I had shrimp and poblano enchiladas with red cream sauce. Love the fresh made tortillas and charro beans with salsa and chips. Very good. Generous portions. I had left overs to enjoy later.

3.3 stars. 1st time to visit. Average food. Serving portion on the fajitas was on the lighter side. Rice was bland and lacked flavor. Tortillas were very good so that balanced things out. Tres leche dessert was a generous slice of moist, rich, creamy yummy-ness. Service was consistent throughout the meal. Atmosphere was standard.

We ate at Lupe Tortilla in Austin and everything was spot on. The chips and salsa came out fresh and crunchy with just the right amount of heat in the salsa. The beef fajitas were tender and flavorful, and the shrimp added a nice touch to the mix. We also tried the ribs and they were fall-off-the-bone good with a rich smoky taste.
The staff kept things moving and the atmosphere was lively without feeling rushed. The portions were big, the food had great flavor across the board, and we left already talking about coming back.

Lee was the best waitress! Funny and so helpful! She’s my new favorite person.
Also the fajitas are amazing! And get the corn tortillas!

The atmosphere was really nice and the service was good too, but the food was not so tasty.

15 minute wait for a party of six turned into 27. We were finally seated at empty table in front of us. Not sure what happened we were the only people waiting. We went at 6:15 on a Monday night. Food was ok but not really worth the insulting wait. If you are in the business of taking people’s money…. Why make them wait. This is not our first bad experience with the wait so we usually grab a seat at the bar. They are happy to take my money.

First time at this location. We sat at the bar and Xavier was our bartender. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was delicious. We ordered ribs and chicken tacos to share. Both were delicious and generous portions. They also include a large size bowl of fresh tortilla chips and salsa. Great service and clean restaurant.
