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 stopped by to try this place out and it did not disappoint!

We started off with the guacamole and it was made tableside. Our server did an amazing job!

My husband ordered the filet mignon fajitas and they were great! I ordered the pablo plate and 2 people can definitely eat off of it! LOL

Make sure to order the corn and flour tortillas they were AMAZING!

Didn’t expect the level of service , we were greeted and asked if we had been here before and or our first visit
They asked if we preferred a more quiet setting, or outside along with a more lively environment.
We decided on the more lively atmosphere!!
Energy was from the guests was full of laughs and conversations

Being Our first visit, a manager visited our table with sample of the steak fajitas

We were sold on the flavor and ordered Steak Fajitas for Two,

Fresh made tortillas and fresh ingredients!

Pablo, over the top and never missed a step!!
Great service, Steak fajita could be cut with a fork and we did Choose Tres Leches. Was good, just not my favorite.

We visited Lupe Tortilla at The Rim in San Antonio, and it was exactly the experience we needed to restore our faith in good Tex-Mex after a disappointing visit elsewhere. From the moment we walked in, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We got seated quickly, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting.

We ordered the beef fajitas for two, and let me tell you, they were fantastic. They brought out chips, salsa, and even a little cup of charro beans as a nice touch, which was a pleasant surprise. When the fajitas arrived, they came out sizzling on a skillet with all the traditional fixings, plus both corn and flour tortillas. The tortillas were homemade, and the flour ones were especially soft and delicious. We even had a bit left to take home, which was a bonus.

Overall, the service was great, the price was reasonable, and we will definitely be coming back. It’s exactly what we hoped for and more!

As I entered, I felt a warm sense of welcome and immediately settled into my seat. The gentleman attentively watched over me and checked in regularly, demonstrating genuine care. Even the manager came out personally to make sure I was comfortable and everything was just right. The environment felt truly thoughtful and nurturing. The food was absolutely amazing—just look at the delicious fajitas I ordered, with fresh guacamole and salsa. First class in every way—an experience that will surely make your mouth water when you see your food arrive.

Pushes people out of the way, I need a table with queso and margs before I faint.

I came here with my work mates for din din.

Instantly distracted by the promise of queso and a margaritas flight.

Girl just get the queso and barrel marg.

No need for anything else but banging conversation.

I did appreciate vegetarian in menu and the waitor knowing! Yasss big props for dietary knowledge!

I would go back.

While Lupe Tortilla is a well-loved regional chain, the location near La Cantera in San Antonio manages to transcend its “chain” status entirely. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is electric and the service is purely local, warm, and attentive. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a Tex-Mex institution that feels like your favorite neighborhood spot.
Let’s get straight to the main event: The Fajitas. They are, without a doubt, the best in the city. The skirt steak is perfectly marinated, impossibly tender, and arrives sizzling with a heavenly aroma. Every bite is an explosion of flavor, especially when wrapped in their famous tortillas—which I’m convinced are the largest in all of San Antonio! They are thick, fluffy, and the ideal vessel for the spectacular beef and fresh fixings.
Beyond the food, the bar is a serious contender. They offer a wonderful variety of margaritas, from classic lime perfection to unique seasonal specials. You could spend an entire evening just sampling the menu (responsibly, of course!).
But what truly elevates the experience is the team, especially our server, Pablo. If you are lucky enough to be seated in his section, you’re in for impeccable service that is both friendly and efficient. He makes every guest feel like a VIP. And here’s a tip: make sure to ask Pablo for his secret guacamole recipe! He’s the best, and his recommendations are always spot-on.
Lupe Tortilla at La Cantera is more than just a meal; it’s a guaranteed great time. Go for the fajitas, stay for the margs, and definitely ask for Pablo!

What a great opportunity for everyone’s favorite traveled friend to review another experience. Today’s experience brought me to “Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant” in San Antonio, Texas. I was here for business and a special occasion. The restaurant is located close to one of my new favorite shopping experiences “La Cantera.” I dined outdoors because the “ambiance” is amazing there. Wait staff was very attentive and it was pleasant that even a member of the “management staff” stopped to ✔️ on our “well-being.” I ordered something practical and they did not disappoint. My companion agreed that the entrée was also “delightful.” All in all this was a great experience and I am glad to present “Lupe Tortilla Mexican Restaurant” with my very well “coveted” “5 ” experience on 10/24/25.

The kitchen, the management, the experience, but in particular: The service has made this one of my favorite places to eat. Pablo and Karla both have continually made the visits that myself, my friends, and my family have enjoyed and I cannot be thankful enough for the fact they’ve both been here for a good, long time while I’ve been eating here.

The menu looks fantastic and indeed has been fantastic!!! The management and the upkeep both have exceeded my expectations. However, if either of them are working: I am always grateful for the opportunity to be served by them 🙂 They’re irreplacable staff in my mind, and I always look forward to *whatever* service they may provide. They have never shown me a “bad” day on the job, but I am supremely confident that would outshine any other place I’ve been to in the area (honestly, in the last decade *anywhere*) and I cannot praise the help they’ve been and the support they’ve provided for the dining experiences I’ve pursued.

I highly recommend this location, and in particular: I recommend those two as servers!!! 🙂

A solid 4 for Mexican food. Nice ambience and atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend the cilantro ranch – delicious with the chips too! The chicken tortilla soup was huge with lots of chunks of grilled chicken breast. Great healthy/high protein and filling option. Awesome vegetarian menu too. The grilled mushrooms in the tacos were nicely seasoned and meaty, though the puff tacos sound better than they are… just a thick tortilla.

We had such a wonderful experience at Lupe Tortilla, and it was all thanks to our amazing server, Ryan. From the moment we sat down, he treated us like we were the only guests in the restaurant. Even though the place was busy, he never made us feel rushed or overlooked.
Ryan was attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and checked on us at just the right times. His positive attitude and professionalism truly elevated our entire dining experience.
It’s rare to find service that makes you feel so valued and cared for. Ryan went above and beyond, and because of him, we can’t wait to come back. If you visit Lupe Tortilla, ask for Ryan — you won’t be disappointed!
