Lupita’s Market

Lupita’s is my family’s favorite restaurant in the area. The food is delicious every time, and it tastes like real Mexican food. The birria de chivo is rich and flavorful, the lomo de res en chile de arbol is spicy and full-​flavored, the camarones a la diabla are downright fiery, the tacos are excellent — I usually choose some tongue and some steak, but the chicharron tacos are unusual and delicious too — really, everything there is a great choice, and you should stop reading this review and go get Lupita’s.
Really. Go already.

I feel like I’m giving away a secret by telling people how good it is.
If you are stuck in the small town food rut this place will be a relief. Family owned and operated. Real mexican food and very tasty! Fresh ingredients, not canned.
There are many mexican restaurants in Wi but, not like this. I have eaten a lot of items from the menu and am still singing their praise.
The menudo is awesome! Remember to wash it all down with a big Horchata

When I am in the mood for real Mexican food, this is the place I go to.
Most of the time I get the chicken burrito
, but I am not afraid to try new things.
The tongue taco is really good as well. I know it sounds more like bazar foods, but it taste like a tender steak.
They also have a market, so you can shop there when you want to cook your own Mexican meal.

One thing I can say since having moved up to Wisconsin is that finding decent Mexican food can be a real challenge. This place has been one of the few restaurants that has (sort of) made up for the food I miss so much. First off, it is primarily a market. Stuff seems to be a little pricy but I can count on finding certain items that I have trouble with at other stores, such as menudo spice mix. They also have a good selection of Mexican snacks/​candies. The food, though not as good as all the taquerias in the RGV offer, is still decent. I usually opt for tacos with corn tortillas because they’re better, but you can choose flour too. Tripa, chicharron, and adobada are my favorite fillings, but there is also lengua, barbacoa, and a few other choices that I can’t recall off the top of my head. Cilantro and onion are also included unless you request otherwise. Really, the only thing that could be done to improve the tacos would be if they actually fried the tortillas a little and got them nice and crispy. My husband usually gets the tortas, they’re really good. Those I would say are closer to the quality of tortas back home. Menudo is a little pricy, but actually pretty decent considering that even back home, menudo can be a really hit or miss dish at so many places. Oh, and don’t eat the tamales. They’re not very good.

Try the tortas. Messy, but soooo good.
