lupe's tex mex grill

food is awesome. wife brought me my favorite, a chile relleno home, so i can't make a review for the service, atmosphere, ambiance, etc. it was awesome, the main dish, salsa and beans were phenomenal. the rice and chips that were also included weregood(just not phenomenal). i would easily tolerate less than perfect service for this level of flavor.

nothing special. nothing special about this place. the hostess and "chips and salsa guy" were great, but our waiter was terrible. he got us our drinks in agoodamount of time, but then he disappeared for the longest time. when he came back, he filled up my water and turned to leave and we had to holler at him that we were ready (even though we had been there a while and all of our menus were closed). even then he said "ok" and walked away. we assumed that he needed to go get a pen or paper or something. he came back, walked right past our table and to another table he was waiting on. after he finished with them, he pulled the pen and paper that he had the whole time out of his pocket. :/ and then we never saw him the rest of the night. literally. someone else checked on us mid-meal, the hostess cleared our plates, and a third person handled our checks. it was bizarre.

about the food: the black bean dip was yummy, but the salsa was totally hit or miss. the first round was burn-your-mouth hot and the second round was super mild. the inconsistency was disappointing.
hubby's fajitas were alright, nothing special. same with my chicken enchiladas.

there was nothing special to pull us back, and definitely not worth fighting the construction traffic for. you can find me at miguelito's.

loop in for lupe's. super salsa and chips the rest is verygoodtex mex...not too crowded ...construction

terrible food. went to lupe's in bedford based ongoodreviews, the food was awful. i orderd grilled shrimp that came as tacos. the tortillas were heavy and greasy, there were maybe 2 shrimp cut up into tiny pieces spread out over both tacos. there was some plain lettuce on the plate (no dressing) and a white looking tomato. the rice was bland and tasteless and the vegtables were soggy squash with brownish carrots floating in butter. this was $12.99!

my husband has brisket enchiladas that were tasteless asn greasy as well, disgusting and overpriced. i was still hungry when i left because the food was inedible.

we go a few times a month.goodfood, love the black bean dip and the swirl margaritas and very tasty!! service is so-so.

surprisingly good!. we went to lupe's on friday night because i'd purchased a groupon. one of my main ways i judge a mexican restaurant is by the margarita. mine rocked! the other is by the chips and salsa. this was ok. the chips were fresh, a bit thick, and the salsa was sort of bland. when i commented on this, our server - who was wonderful - brought out a spicier salsa that was hot!
we also ordered quesio and that was perfect - smooth and creamy.

now on to the main course. we asked our waiter julio what wasgoodand he recommended the seafood. we were skeptical because past experience has taught us that you don't order seafood at a mexican place, but he assured us it was wonderful. he showed us the back of the menu, which was in spanish, and there were several pescado (fish) entries. he said the fish was tilapia.

my husband ordered pescado with cilantro and lime and i got shrimp fajitas with corn tortillas. i have to say those were the absolute best corn tortillas i have had anywhere. soft and thin and perfect. melted in my mouth.

the shrimp wasgoodbut my husband's fish was to die for! it was awesome and i'll be getting it next time we go.

for dessert julio recommended a fried banana dish with ice cream. we tried it and again, were pleasantly surprised. one of the best desserts we've had anywhere.

pricewise, everything was in line with every other mexican place we visited. large margarita $8.75, entries $7.99 to $12.99. our total bill before the groupon was $60. and this was two drinks each, two entries, and dessert.

doing the groupon was agoodthing for lupe's to do. getting people in to try them and serving up such great food worked, at least for us. we will be back, even without the groupon.
