Absolutely delicious!! The quesabirria special was super fresh, tender and full of quality ingredients. To make the experience even better, the staff were incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for authentic Mexican food 😄😋🥰

Lindsey Smith

Absolutely phenomenal food. Swung by today walking up RVR and stopped in. Turns out they opened recently. The Al pastor and Cecina tacos are out of this world. Corn tortillas being made fresh right in front. Their chips and guac are not to be missed!

Matt U

Delicious made from scratch authentic Mexican food. My portion was massive and cost $14.

Chris

Authentic delicious Mexican food, i had the enchiladas with the rice and beans which were both delicious. Everything was very fresh and very flavorful. The rice that came with it was some of the softest and freshest rice I've ever eaten. Definitely recommend this place. 🔥🔥🔥

Leon Dautaj

Was excited to try this place as soon as I heard there was a Mexican Restaurant opening in this location. Finally, something in Oakland that’s not Italian/pizza. Happy to report the food is great! Part of my family is Puerto Rican so I know good Spanish/Mexican food when I see it, and this definitely fits that description! It seems a bit expensive at first glance, but they give you generous portions, and the food is pretty filling. I got the Gorditas El Pastor and my friend got Miguel’s Bowl. We were both very pleased with our meal. The portions are big enough that we both had leftovers too! Two thumbs up from me. I hope this business has success and sticks around for awhile, I know this location can be tough. Cant wait to go back and try more of their menu!

Tried Lupita's Cocina for the first time tonight. The food was excellent-fresh and cooked perfectly. I encourage anyone who wants some good Mexican food give this place a try!

Michael Laurice

The food is amazing and the portions are extremely generous. Very authentic Mexican food. Tortillas made fresh to order. I have loved everything I have gotten from here so far. Despite Matthew B's review who apparently can't read prices on an online menu, the prices are all available and reasonable. And the food has a ton of flavor despite what Howard Taylor's review suggests, when he compared authentic Mexican food to fast food taco bell...smh

Bob Salvesen

Very good food! There is a place to sit and eat but more of a take out place. I have ordered from here many times and it was always quite good.

Dillon Maus

Food is great. Have ordered there twice now. All my friends thoroughly enjoyed their food as well. Portions for what we ordered were pretty large for the price point which in general was reasonable/cheap. Do yourselves a favor and ignore the low reviews from people who seemingly have no idea what they're talking about.

Dickie

wow! This is authentic! The closest thing you can get to homemade Mexican food. The food is super fresh and just like homemade. You can tell they use fresh ingredients every day. Unbelievable flavor in every bite. We love it and we go there twice a week. Take out only that’s why I gave atmosphere four stars. But wow, you can’t beat it for East Coast, Mexican food. YUMMY!!!!!!

Authentic Mexican takeout! The food here is fantastic. The tortillas are homemade, and the food is the real deal. Everything we’ve tried here has a homemade vibe, and the ingredients are high quality. The service is fantastic, and has a true mom-and-pop feel. I’m so happy to have such a high quality authentic Mexican restaurant in Oakland.

We couldn’t be a bigger fan of this place and the employees. This is exactly what Oakland needed! As a long time customer of Wilkes and big time authentic Mexican food fans, have been waiting for this to open for the longest time. I think we might have been one of the first customers LOL The food is fresh and tasty. The workers and owners are incredible. BEST part is the helpings are HUGE and the prices are so fair.

Mark Sheridan

Lupita’s is amazing. I have had the Miguel’s bowl, enchiladas, and fajitas - never disappointed. Finding great mexican cuisine in Oakland is no longer a problem. This is not tex-mex or American fast food. It is authentic, fresh, from scratch Mexican food. You can tell by the tortillas that this food is made with passion. The staff is friendly and makes effort to remember the names of their regulars. Great hours and convenient.

Food is excellent! Fresh ingredients, meat is slow cooked & tender. Reminds me of home comfort food. I think prices are quite reasonable given all the fresh ingredients & everything is homemade

Rude and overpriced, speaking of prices- they have none. Except the rice and beans- $3.99 right? Nope, for 4oz sides of rice and beans with my tacos I was charged $7.90 additional. Not even sure how that happened, but the cashier insisted that I was wrong and that they do indeed charge nearly $1/oz of rice(or beans). That’s insane, and incorrect according to the menu. When I asked about menu prices, they said they didn’t have them yet. That makes no sense, they have a tv as a menu board. Just put the prices on the menu? I prefer to give my business to local places, but this is just ridiculous. Pictures of the menu included for reference.
