Came in from out of town and found this little spot on google. Hoping that I can make my way out here more often specifically for this alone. Tacos de Lengua, Barbacoa, Steak, and Chicken are all phenomenal and the Lengua I’ve had here is better than any I’ve had. The red sauce is ADDICTIVE!!! Big thank you to the lovely people making all this delicious food and I can’t wait to come back here again!

Stopped here on my way through town. Portions are extremely generous and food was fresh and home made down to the freshly fried tortilla chips. We ordered flautas, tacos, and guacamole.

The food is very authentic. Best salsa and chips I’ve ever had. I ordered the tacos, and I was even more impressed! Flavorful meat, great toppings, and beautifully made corn tortillas. The al pastor meat (pork/pineapple) was my favorite part. Kind, fast service. We’ll be back! Highly recommend.

You want authentic Mexican food , look no more. This place is amazing. Stumbled on it by accident, will return. Prices are pretty good. Stuffed burrito $9.50. Made two meals out of one by the time we ate the free chips and salsa too. Must visit

So nice to have an authentic Mexican Store in our rural area. It sits just outside the main gate at Fort Leonard Wood. It’s a great place to find those real Mexican spices and products. The owner is very friendly and always make you feel appreciated. My favorite product here are the tamales. They are very well made and they have lots of options. You can also find things like authentic tortilla warmers and presses. Bring cash if you can, there is an extra charge if you use a credit or debit card.

me and my mom stop here everytime we drive through hicksville. we are originally from fort wayne, but lupitas is by far my favorite mexican restaurant. our first impression was the friendly atmosphere welcomed by the staff and the decorations. the homemade tortilla chips are the best i’ve ever had. the wait isn’t too long and the food was amazing. once we ate here there were children sitting nearby doing homework. i absolutely love the family vibe here and i wish we had this in fort wayne. cherish this one! they deserve the best business. they have cute stuff in their store and even had the milagro tortillas that were sold out in my city.
