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.

I started with a skinny margarita straight up (no ice). Very smooth and tasty.
Then we ordered the table side guacamole. Our server brought the ingredients to our table and he made our guacamole right in front of us. So fresh, limey and delicious.
I ordered the lunch chicken fajitas with all rice and no beans. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures. The chicken was very tender and seasoned well. The rice was good.
The weather was beautiful so we sat on the edge where the indoor tables meets the outdoor seating.
Excellent service. Perfect flow of drinks, guacamole then entree.

What service???…we arrived at 2pm, and it took 25 minutes to get our first item that we’d ordered. First we waited with no service to our table at all, then there was a time when 3 servers were deciding on who was going to take our table, then finally we had service. Drinks (vodka tonic, and well tequila on ice) took 15 mins to get after ordering, 25 minutes after arrival. We ordered beef fajitas, 1 pound. I’ve been frequenting Lupe’s since it first opened near Eldridge, West side. Never had I been faced with such rubbery, inedible beef. There were at least 4 pieces where you couldn’t even chew to swallow. You had to spit it out. Pics show the rubbery remains. This was not what I’d call typical of Lupe food quality or service. If this is all because of cost saving measures after a company buy-out of the Lupe brand. Mistake, big mistake. 120$ with tip. Will think long and hard before a return.
The night after, we had leftovers for dinner. More of the same. About a third of the beef couldn’t be chewed through. Gristle and rubbery beef tendons. Cheap cuts of beef at nearly 70$ for a pound. Hard to believe that the ratings have held up, given this poor quality.
So the response from the restaurant is to send my name, rank, and serial number so they can follow up. You have my review. That’s all I’m interested in. Your response did not include a word about how this batch of beef must have been a complete one-off, or what may have caused the issue.

Waitress was not great. Reached across me to get Sweetener container. Took forever to bring silverware for dessert. Didn’t offer refills on water and tea.

My wife came in and sat at the bar, and it took about 5 to 10 minutes just to get a menu. She ordered a margarita and fajitas, but it took another 15 minutes before her drink showed up, and people who ordered after her got theirs first. So, she went to the host stand to ask for a table instead because the bar service was just really slow.
The server Connie was amazing and tried to help figure out what happened with the drink. She had a great attitude and really did her best, and the host staff was also very kind. But after all that waiting, my wife ended up canceling our food order because we had somewhere to be and didn’t want to wait any longer.
When the margarita finally came, it was horrible. What stood out to me the most was that no manager ever came by to check in or address what was going on. There wasn’t a manager on the floor the entire time. If there are issues with the bar or kitchen, management should be out supporting their team, communicating with guests, and making sure people are taken care of.
If the restaurant is short-staffed, that’s understandable, but then adjust your seating or wait times so guests know what to expect. This location clearly needs stronger management presence and support for the staff. The hosts and Connie did their best, but leadership was missing.

Their fajitas are are top notch! The lime pepper marinade is really something else!
I typically just get the steak fajitas with their complimentary chips, charro beans, and salsa. Even though they didn’t cut the meat across the grain, it still was incredibly tender and delicious. This is definitely an Austin staple. The atmosphere is more of a fast, casual feel. And sometimes there’s a wait just because they don’t have many waiters in that night.
One downside is there were quite a few mosquitoes in the bathrooms – probably because when the temperatures cool down they open the big glass garage doors to extend the patio.

We used Lupe Tortilla (this location!) for our rehearsal dinner food and it was AMAZING. We had them set up early and display the food buffet style. And of note, it was very affordable to add set up (chafing dishes, serving ware, etc.). The food tasted as if it came straight from the Lupe Tortilla kitchen – fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Our guests LOVED it.
