| - This place may be a little intimidating at first, but if you read all the Yelp reviews they will guide you through how to navigate the store and score the fixings for killer tacos.
I always describe Las Lupitas as like a Mexican butcher shop. Walk in and go to the back counter. You'll order your tortillas there. These are made right there in house, you actually see a lady in the back making them. You can hear her tortilla press. They are warm and delicious. Fun fact: Catch On Seafood (Plaza Midwood) uses these house made tortillas in their Taco Tuesday kits they do. After that, order your proteins. Everything is delicious- the marinated chicken, carnitas, barbacoa. Don't get thrown off when you order the chicken, it comes as pieces on the bone. You will need to shred it yourself. You can also buy queso fresco here.
At the register, you'll find different types of homemade salsas. I think this used to be a cash only place, but my latest visit here they took a credit card. I went a little overboard this time, but I wanted to feed a lot of people. My order: 1 lb (ish, a little more) marinated chicken, 1 lb barbacoa, 1 lb carnitas, 2 lbs of tortillas, 1/2 lb of queso fresco, and two salsas. Grand total: $38. That's a TON of food for less than $40. This would be a great option for parties or tailgate spreads.
There are also coolers of drinks and other offerings in the store, but for me I'm just here for the taco goodness.
