Great Mexican food for over 50 years here!

Fantastic mole sauce, pretty decent fish tacos - everything survived the take out ride home.

Wicked good Chile pobleno (prob spelled that wrong but it's been a while... Lol) great margaritas also.

The food was great! I loved their chicken tortilla soup. A bit pricey, but still great!

Loved the food. Small place, very homely. The owner went down to Mexico to get the lovely art which adorns the walls.

First time I tried this place. Both the chicken mole and garlic prawns were excellent, and we came here and sat on the patio on a first Friday of the month when there is live music on the street.

Really good food. Very nice people. They replaced our chips, salsa, and drinks often. I love that!

Enchiladas en mole as excellent as usual, and margaritas were quite good at well. A great place to sit outside and relax and enjoy good food and drinks.

When a place has been around as long as this, there must be something good there! That's the case here. Been coming here for years and won't stop coming since we always have a great experience, great service and delicious food. Came here for an early dinner so right when the opened and allowed us to get great service, enjoy the outside patio and the quietness of the street. Great dinner, will be back again

Got the grilled fish fajitas special. I appreciated that it had plenty of veggies (zucchini, onion tomatoes and bell peppers). The sizzle tantalizing my taste buds, beckoning for me to take a bite. With a side of rice, beans, cheese and fresh flower tortillas- It tasted as amazing as it looked and smelled. There were no leftovers.

Our absolute favorite! I've been going for 40 years and it is by far my favorite Mexican food!

Love this place! Great food and very friendly staff! They also have outdoor dining which is a plus. :) Went out to eat there the other night with a group of friends and the service was excellent. The waitress was nice and started conversation to make sure that we had everything we needed. We wanted to order dessert that included ice cream and the waitress informed us they were out of ice cream. We ordered the dessert anyways without the ice cream, just to find out that the staff ran over to a store to pickup ice cream so that we wouldn't have to eat the dessert without any. I loved that! It showed how much they cared about their customers!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (P.s try their delicious margaritas !)

Casa Lupe is a small Mexican restaurant located in central downtown Los Altos. It is a bit pricey, but considering it's location, it isn't out of line with other restaurants in the area. They claim to serve tradition Mexican food, and I can verify that as a frequent traveler to Mexico and eating where the locals eat. The food portions are generous, cooked just right and served quickly. The restaurant seating areas are only a few hundred square feet, but it's comfortable and clean in there with a very pleasant atmosphere that re-creates a typical Mexican restaurant. Parking is easy and close by, the area is very safe, and it's a place I plan to return to in the near future.

Have been going to Casa Lupe for over 30 years. If you want Mexican home cooking, this is the place for you. It is locally owned and operated and you may have an owner wait your table. The service is expeditious and the food is quite good with generous portions. You can't go wrong with the specials and the Burrito will fill you up. All in all, it's a good value for the money.

Cute decor wonderful food and great drinks. You can eat outside or in. Plentiful portions and delicious - all the traditional Mexican dishes. If I lived closer, you'd see me there a couple times a week!

I love the food here, and the staff has been very nice and attentive. The only complaint is the air conditioning isn't great so we usually get a table outside which is always nice.

Great place to go with a group when visiting Palo Alto for work.. the portions are huge and the guacamole and margaritas are top notch too! Definitely worth a visit if you are in town.

B

The food is amazing, service is fair. Little small at this location, but worth the wait. Chimichangas and Enchiladas (cheese particularly) are my fav. here.

Went for lunch...Small place .. good ambience. I am sure if summer, we could sit in a garden. Tasty food. Limited vegan choices though.

Good food. Not many choices for vegetarians, but the fajitas were fresh and super tasty!!

The food was great. I had a chicken burrito and it was delicious. More than I could finish in one sitting. Prices were a little high but not so high that I would grade it lower. The mango margarita is a must! Perfectly blended but only four stars instead of five because it was a little weak on the alcohol.

D
Dre' Tatum

Tasty food and large portions with very good portions. The service is excellent. The chips are really yellow, but the salsa has great spice. I love it spicy.

The burrito was absolutely disgusting the meat was gristle and to top it off it was $16 for a $2 burrito worst place around will never go there again I feel ripped off and it gave me diarrhea

I really liked the chicken en mole, but the veggie quesadilla was uninspired and barely had any cheese. Our meal was pretty expensive, even when factoring in the large portions.

C
Chris Lea

Been going there since the early 70s. Reasonable food. I'm just more used to their cousins' restaurant in Sunnyvale.

The food was good but wasn't as good as Fiesta in Mountain View. Other dinners thought that it was one of the best in Los Altos.

This place in Los Gatos, was great at one time. But the food became mediocre as well as the service.

The food was good but to experience for lunch I paid 40:00 and the place use not all that

Unfortunately we had a mediocre experience at Casa Lupe. The food was pretty good, however for some reason the waitress got 2 out of 3 of our orders wrong in some way despite writing down what we asked for. I asked for Enchiladas de California and got Mole Enchiladas, and my friend asked for no beans (due to an allergy) and still received beans. I didn't want to waste the food so despite the waitress asking to take the order back, I decided to eat what was given to us. The Mole Enchiladas were fine, yet I was disappointed that so many things were incorrect with our order. Perhaps there was a lot going on that day at the restaurant.

Food was competent (American) Mexican, but not good. Mango margarita was blech. Wait staff was hard working, but overworked and not especially kind. We much prefer Palo Alto Sol.

Got take out today. Ordered a burrito without cheese (I am allergic). I got a wet burrito (not what I ordered) COVERED in cheese. It took a ridiculous amount of time for a burrito that was inedible. In addition, I was the only one at the restaurant so they don't have the excuse of getting my order wrong . Will NEVER go back

Very mediocre Mexican food. No spice.

I have been by this place and passed on it for many years. And I should have kept it that way. To start off, the chips were stale and not well salted. Salsa was definitely not homemade - very bland and you can taste the preservatives just like the store bought Picante/Tostitos generic brands. The margaritas barely had any alcohol. I ordered chicken enchiladas. The sauce was ok but the beans were definitely out of a can. Yuck. Chicken was boiled and shredded -- no flavor! And to top it off.... the service was very slow. The restaurant was maybe 10% capacity and I had to flag down my waitress to order food. Really? I'm amazed a place like this, in this expensive location is able to stay open. There are much better options. Oh and all the 5 star reviews are clearly disingenuous/bots/fake.
