The chicken quesadilla was good the hubby asked for onions and peppers but they didn’t have peppers and they didn’t grill the onions before they put them in. The guys cooking and taking the order have zero customer service skills. I bet if they tried really hard to be polite and show that they appreciate people coming all the way to their business they would have a busy little place. We went in about 1:30 and no one was there to eat. They expect you to stand exactly at the right place to order but where exactly is that? No one tells you before they treat you bad for not knowing. Even though the food was good we won’t be back. They need to learn how to appreciate customers

It’s a small supermarket with a restaurant next to it, I was told they’re in the process of transitioning to a new owner. Unfortunately I have to take this as the cause of the poor service I received, food was good but they didn’t have the full menu available. Hopefully they will take better care of customers under the new ownership.

We are not from Bloomington so when we do go to visit we enjoy stopping by Lupitas to pick up a few things. It’s nice that there’s a restaurant inside the store now although we have not had the chance to eat there yet. Love huge variety of items that are for sale in the store including cookware. Always our favorite Mexican grocery store to stop at!

Front of restaurant doesn’t look like they’re open. There were multiple TVs sitting at the host station. No signage saying you have to walk to the kitchen to place an order after they just stare at you. No menu; they only have tacos, burritos, and tortas. I make it a point to support locally owned; not chain restaurants. The quality of food isn’t consistent. A few weeks ago, my burrito was great; today was mediocre at best. The part that really took away stars was the pricing. A basic burrito has gone up to $9.99 before tax with no avocado/guacamole or drink. Inflation, food costs…I get it….I’m choosing to support a locally owned business. So after tax, I notice my receipt doesn’t match what she told me the total was. There’s a 4% “Non-cash Adjustment” that was never mentioned and no signage pushing the total to $11.29 for a mushy chicken burrito.

Had to start out by trying the tacos – the Chorizo was my favorite; flavorful and a bit of heat. The taco Al Pastor (pork) was tender and a close second. The steak Carnitas wasn’t as good – didn’t have as much flavor and the cut of steak used was similar to what I’ve had for fast food. Still, well worth it, and I am looking forward to trying their Chori-Pollo burrito on another visit.

Went at 6:20 on a Sunday night, nobody else there should have been our first clue. Sign said to seat ourselves, after 10 minutes, we went and found someone to ask for a menu. They said they’d be right out. After 25 minutes. A guy did come out to say they only had tacos. No chef, so that’s all they could do. No vegetarian option, so we left. I understand staffing issues these days, but come say something as soon as we walk in, not 30 minutes later. We could here a few people talking in the back and the guy that finally came out had been looking out of the kitchen at us several times.

Wonderful and so very gracious to have a great taco establishment around here. As a semi truck driver I always want to eat restaurant quality style food, like as if I’m home cooking food that’s not frozen or already prepared. Here at lupitas I got all of the taste I would want from home and the price was a HUGE WOW factor. Beautiful tacos, beautiful prices, and a very beautiful hospitable man serving and dishing up these wonderful flavorful food. Thank you for a great and beautiful experience for this trucker.
