Hello Lupe’s Pancakes

Lupe has been doing this for many years! Called to see where she was selling the other weekend and found her cart! Awesome selection and she was kind and proud of her desserts (as she should be because they are DELICIOUS!)

Super yummy! The wifey and I tried Lupe’s crepes for the first time. We both give it two thumbs up and will be back next weekend. Ixnay on the cream cheese, but that’s only our personal taste buds though.

I had always heard about Hello Lupe’s Crepes but had never tried one. This all ended this past Friday. I got a $ 6 crêpe which she calls La Especial. Lupe hooked it up! She added the crème cheese, strawberries, pineapple, mango, etc. Then she added la lechera and other delicious syrups. I am not much of a crêpe person but I Lupe has made me a believer. It was the most delicious crêpe I have ever had. Some might complain about the price but you should consider the work she has to do to make those syrups and to prepare the fruits that she uses. This weekend I found myself craving a crêpe at around 1am and started searching google for directions on how to make my own crêpe. This was an epic failure. I have a crêpe craving again and I wish street vending was legal so that I could find Lupe on a sidewalk ready to make my crêpe as I await with my $ 6 already in hand.

Something about paying $ 10.50 for 3 crepes didn’t sit well with me. See, I had just payed $ 10 at Nina’s Food Stand for a Pambazo, a Huarache, 2 drinks and a sampling of Pineapple-​n-​Raisin Tamales.
The 3 crepes I had were filled with cream cheese and individually topped with a strawberry, blackberry and pineapple sauce. The crepes were really good but the sauces were slightly sweeter than I would have preferred. My favorite topping was the pineapple sauce — it wasn’t as sweet as the other sauces I tried. The sweetness of the pineapple sauce contrasted well with the tang from the cream-​cheese filled crepes. These are really indulgent Crepes people! Maybe a bit too much for me — at least on this occasion it was.
I would have given Lupe 4 stars had the price been «appropriate» but since you can get so much more filling and tasty food for the same price in surrounding stands, I’ll think twice about coming to this stand again.
Apparently, Lupe also makes funnel cakes, fried twinkies, fried cookies and fried bananas. I didn’t see a fryer so maybe those items weren’t available on my visit or maybe she just does that when she caters.
