Mama Lupitas

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the p[lace. It is small but great food. Cicharones in chile verde, outstanding. I have not been disappointed with any of the dishes I have had. If you are in the west side, a must try.

Came here hoping to find a super authentic «hole in the wall» type Mexican restaurant, but the entire meal was pretty underwhelming.
First, we were the only people in the restaurant and it took about 3 minutes of us standing around for anybody to realize we were even there.
We had a pastor taco… which was very good…
But we also got 2 combo plates and neither of them were very good. Everything was just luke-​warm and bland. Really nothing special or good. Too bad…

Tried their carne asada and pork tacos at the glendale food festival this past weekend. Gotta say their mest was very tasty, even the tortilla had flavor. Their salsa was very delicious and actually spicy. Will definately try them one of these days in their store location.

I live in this area and I first thought it would be a descent place. first experience Menudo was descent but overpriced… second time came with friends only because they wanted to try it… worst experience ever… horrible service they ran out of bread for the Menudo… hominy was out of a can… meat was not sorted and was all dark Menudo meat aka bad meat …80% meat 20% canned hominy… chips were stale… I asked for new chips and was told they are the same as the others in back… torta was dried meat. best part TORTILLAS WERE SUPPOSED TO FRESH… WHICH THEY WERE THE FIRST TIME I WENT CORN SPECIFICALLY…2ND TIME I WENT I GOT FLOWER AND THEY WERE STORE BOUGHT AND SMELT LIKE MISSION TORTILLAS!!! WTF I won’t ever go back… note my 6 friends who joined me 2^nd time… over priced too

Sometimes books should be judged by their cover. Mama Lupitas is in a ran down strip mall on the westside of Glendale. The inside is small and bleak as the outside is ran down and weak.
The chips are hard and stale and not worth human consumption which is unfortunate because the hot salsa (by request, not the one they serve you) is actually quite tasty.
I had a shrimp cocktail, a chicken flauta, and a pastor burro. The shrimp cocktail was plain-​jane and rather boring. It consisted of flavorless shrimp and mostly cocktail juice. A good shrimp cocktail should have lots of cucumber, onion, jalapenos or serranos, cilantro, lots of lime, saltiness, spiciness… this had close to none of that. The chicken flauta needed to be cooked longer and the chicken was also bland. Finally, the highlight was the al pastor burro which had lots of flavor. Great heat, good meat, & a nice proportion. The only thing it was lacking was some vegetation. Again, onion, cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, something…
My companions shared the same sentiments with their meals but they’ll have to give their own reviews.
The other highlight was our waitress. Although we couldn’t communicate very well she took good care of us. She filled up our drinks non stop and was very attentive.
Unfortunately, I would not come back nor recommend this place.

Love this place! Real Mexican food straight from Michoacan.
will def. be back, So much i want to try.
oh & btw the playlist is a great bonus!
