This is New York, not the Southwest
If you're going to Lupe's and only compare it to the Mexican food of the southwest, you're really wasting your time. Yeah, we New Yorkers get it - our Mexican food will never be as "authentic" as yours. If you feel so strongly about this fact, then when you visit the city, avoid it (just like we avoid pizza or bagels when visiting your region). I also agree that thetortilla chips are a major and tasteless downer. However everything else I've had at Lupe's is delicious, flavorful and plentiful. The burritos are the best in my opinion, but my friends have sworn by the tacos de carnitas. Definitely get a margarita and if you're looking for something sweet, the plantains are very yummy. I have never waited more than 20 minutes for my food after ordering - even when the restaurant is at it's most crowded. My biggest peeve is the cash-only policy, but I love everything else about Lupe's!

Subpar Experience
The food is super bland- no flavor- chips were greasy and too salty and service was awful!

Reviews completely misleading
I went here based on the good reviews on this site. It was some the of the most tasteless Mexican food I have ever eaten. It took about 30 minutes or longer for our food to come out. I would not recommend this to anyone! I used to live in Santa Fe where the Mexican food is so fresh and flavorful, this shouldn't even be called Mexican.

Super Chicken Quesadilla!!!
I can't speak for the service, as I've always ordered takeout. But their super chicken quesadilla, which is the only thing that I have ever ordered, is the best quesadilla that I've ever had. I am changing jobs & will miss ordering this on our desiganted "Mexican food Fridays."

Losts its touch
How can you call this place authentic Mexican when they serve Tostitos and flavorless, overchilled guacamole right off the bat? Lupe's used to be decent but on recent visits now has a tired feel to it. And it definitely needs a complete cleaning! The staff was nice and accomodating once you got their attention. Fish tacos were blah and dry. Enchiladas mole were better mole sauce was not bad actually. Most dishes are totally uninspired. What happened? Could not face a disappointing dessert so we didn't stick around. Not going back.

Awesome food
The food is amazing, not traditional Mexican but this is NYC. I have been eating here for over 10 years. The food is very fresh and made with quality ingredients. It's not a fancy place, but the vibe is very suiting for this off the beaten SoHo path cheap eats. It is a perfect place to meet friends for a very casual dinner.
