The carnitas tostada and horchata are amazing! Authentic, no frills dining at a great price too! Better than many more expensive spots I’ve been to.

Superb. Some of the best nachos I've had in New York City. 13 with a bottled Victoria Lager and I am almost as happy as I've ever been. The nachos start strong with a generous layer of hearty, freshly fried tortilla chips. And! They didn't get soggy! Not even with all the buttery black beans! Or the decadent, juicy carnitas! The cheesy top layer was a stringy combination of Oaxaca and mozzarella so it had a really sexy pull to it. I will also say that the nacho plate had a great ratio of chips to creaminess to acid for freshness. However, I drowned mine in their house tomatillo salsa because it was good enough to bathe in. Finally, it is responsible to advise that Lupita's won't likely be the most graceful dining experience. I loved walking in to a full restaurant at 3 pm - a definite good sign - but the server was clearly overwhelmed. While the food came out fast and hot, everything else was a challenge. Who cares though I'm so happy. Happy hour starts at noon!

I just loved it. I am from Texas, and I've been pretty disappointed by Mexican food options in NYC. But, the quality and the value that Lupitas bring to the table are applaudable. Highly recommend enchiladas de mole.
