The food was pretty decent, but the service was a letdown. The cashier was really unfriendly and unresponsive. She also said they were out of chips and salsa—midday, which was weird—especially since it looked like they still had salsa. We also needed napkins and a fork, but she disappeared for a while, and it was just the cook there. Honestly, the lack of basic service made the experience disappointing.

Burrito was mid in every way, outside not crispy, I guess it wasn’t too thick either which is good. Inside though I’m eating but I can’t taste the french fries nor the avacado / guac, nor was there any tomatoes in there and the carne asada wasn’t flavorful. I was really hungry too.
Service guy was very nice. Atmosphere is nice too, your usual white collar workers all around from nearby businesses.

First time here. I was not really hungry, but did want to try the food. Ordered the beef tacos, and wanted a diet coke..they were out of diet coke, so I settled for bottled water. The server offered me chips, and i said sure. They were rightfully of the fryer so they were crispy and hot.The special dip for chips was good also. I enjoyed my beef tacos. Plenty meat inside. They have red sauce and green sauce. In addition they have a hotter sauce on the counter.
I will need to come back when I am hungry for a carne Asada burrito.

Lots of choices in Poway for Mexican food for sure but this maybe the best. I had the Two taco plate with rice and beans. The taco was crunchy and the meat tender! Just the way us gringos like it :). The rolled tacos also fresh and crunchy with lots of meat inside. Their salsa bar has all fresh green , red and hot sauces. The marinated carrots were fantastic. We will be back soon!

Great food, friendly staff. The food is literally home cooked. I travel for work quite often and when I find a place that serves good Hispanic food I have to try it, eating at Lupe’s made me think I was in my mother-in-law’s kitchen! Make it a point to eat there!

Authentic Mexican FOOD!!!
Tried their Veggie Burrito along with Veggie Quesadilla, it was delicious. The salsa bar along with Chips on the house is a plus. I’ll definitely come back!

The food was incredible and priced good. I got a carne asada fries and the portion was great, for less than 13$ before tax. Carrots and salsa and lime slices were free!!

Took my parents here for a weekend lunch and they loved it. The place was bright and welcoming, and the food was excellent. I had the grilled trout with lemon butter — fresh and perfectly cooked. My dad had the pork schnitzel and said it reminded him of his childhood. Definitely coming back as a family.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Poway. Lupe’s is tucked away in a strip mall. Worth the find. The family run place has excellent service with a friendly smile. They always have 6 kinds of salsa, fresh fruit punch to self serve and spicy condiments.
The enchiladas are excellent. Carne Asada is always a good choice.
