Casa Lupe

"Great option off of the main Street. Large portions and great American Mexican flavor."

"Great spot to host a large gathering for lunch. We had 8 people outside which they were easily able to accommodate in advance on a Friday for lunch. For the main dish I ordered the shrimp enchiladas which were good but nothing exceptional. Didn't really have the flavor punch I was expecting. Some of my co-workers ordered the fajitas which were served on a sizzling plate with an absolutely amazing smell. Much larger portions as well which is what I recommend if you're coming here. The desserts here are top notch and every one of them is delicious and you can't go wrong with any of them."

"This is a bold Mexican-American restaurant that's situated in an excellent spot. They're known for offering complimentary tortilla chips and salsa, which is a lovely touch. The drinks here, particularly the margaritas, are potent and delicious. They have an outdoor seating area that's charming and comfortable - a nice place to relax. When it comes to food, I often opt for the carne asada burrito. This dish is pretty big, with generous amounts of beef, rice, and beans packed inside. The accompanying sauce is spicy and might surprise you with its heat, but it's really flavorful and adds a great taste to the burrito. This restaurant stands out as one of the better sit-down Mexican eateries in Northern California. However, if you're hoping to find traditional, homestyle Mexican cuisine here, you might feel let down. The food here is more Mexican-style with a distinct American twist. It seems designed to suit American taste preferences and it does a good job in that regard. It's important to approach this place with the right expectations. Don't come searching for the authentic rustic flavors of Mexican food because that's not their specialty. What they do best is serve up Mexican dishes that Americans enjoy. So, if you're in the mood for some good Mexican-American food and strong margaritas, this is a great place to check out."

"This place is a hidden gem. Nice, quiet and a little away from the main part of Castro Street. The food was good but what made me give it 5 stars was the ambience and the service. It seems like a family run business and the servers are so warm. There's always a lot of options at Mexican restaurants but the servers will help you through it and also help with customizations. The restaurant interiors are really beautiful with pretty collectibles. I got the Shrimp Burrito with an extra serving of chicken - 4/5 it was decent nothing out of the ordinary but tastes good. A little too much cheese for me. They serve salsa and chips which were really tasty. Overall I would not mind going here again just for the ambience and a nice quiet dinner."
