I normally don 't write reviews unless my experience was extremely positive or extremely negative. Unfortunately La Lupita was a big disappointment as I was recommended by a co-worker. When I came in, I was met with nasty glares instead of a warm welcome by the two young servers almost as if I didn 't belong there. An older white couple came in after me and were greeted warmly and had there orders taken right away while I had to wait over 5 mins just for lemon for my water. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and wings to start. The soup was more like chicken soup that they added tortillas on top of. If they ran out of the tortilla soup, it would have been better to just let me know instead...
Got a $20 in your wallet? Well, then come ready to eat. Taqueria La Lupita has become a standard in our restaurant rotation. The service is always friendly, even if there is a slight language barrier. We’ve found that the staff is always willing to customize the level of spice (Hot for me – mild for the hubby), and to substitute beans for chicken or beef to make vegetarian friendly dishes. We love the free homemade chips and salsa and have considered sneaking in Tupperware to smuggle some home. Be sure to save room for the main course, though. We’ve tried a number of dishes, all of them good, but the chicken fajitas remain a favorite. This isn’t Taco-Bell Mexican. The flavors are rich and co...
La Lupita has good authentic Mexican food. As a vegetarian, this is not my favorite restaurant because so many of their dishes contain meat and much of the food is also very spicy (hot). If those two things don’t bother you, you’d love this restaurant. It’s affordable and filling and I’ve been told the meat is very tasty. The menu is not entirely in English, make sure you understand what you are ordering because there are many items on the menu that give the option of chicken, beef, or beef tongue. I generally consider this a take out place even though there are plenty of tables.
I had the courage to enter this restaurant on a Saturday evening even though it was completely empty. Now I know for sure why. I had teh carne asada which was overcooked and accompanied by some bland rice and beans. I ordered a tamal which was dry and the chicken inside was overcooked as well or probably just old. Even the chips and salsa they gave in the beginning were horrible. It tasted like they just opened a can of tomato sauce and put a little cilantro in it. NOTHING was fresh.

Right off the Lehigh campus this place has become an institution and I 've visited many times over the years when, as an alumnus, I visit my Alma mater The food is great and the service speedy. Special orders for vegan-izing a dish... no problem. Large open dining room adds to conviviality (and noise level).
Oh my! Homemade menudo hit the spot on a wintery day! Ordered chicken tamale and it came with some of the best mole I've ever had! This family owned restaurant is a must try!
Pozole and Mol Chicken were authentic and delicious. My Fussy eight years old ate the fools without complaint. WIN! Will return.
