Lupe Tortilla - Houston

This is the original! I have been coming here for 30 years and have never been disappointed. Be prepared to wait, as everyone in Houston also knows about this gem.

Big place with good food, good variety and attentive servers.

We avoided this location for years because we could never get a table for 5 without a 1hr wait on the weekends. Last couple of times is just me and my wife so the wait is short, if any, and in a busy weekend we have even sat at the bar. Great atmosphere all around, although larger parties always look crammed. The drinks are great and the menu choices are varied and cheaper that I would have expect. I'll keep coming back. Update: dropped from 5 to 3... it's been a while but we decided to go last weekend and sit at the bar. The atmosphere is still great, but the service left a lot to be desired. I asked if there was a Margarita from their menu that was not very sweet and the bartender simply said they are all premixed so he could not do anything about it. Then I more specifically asked about the skinny Margarita and he says the ones without real sweets have artificial sweeteners to make them still taste sweet... I really appreciate the information but he seemed to be bothered by me asking and did not make any effort on selling me any other drink... then ordered a quesadilla there and after waiting about 20 minutes we decided to ask for it to be to go instead. His answer no, nothing I can do now. I can't go in the kitchen... so I said, how about a to go container when it comes out... just disappointing.

This is one of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants in Houston. The queso is absolutely amazing and if you want to try something different, get the steak Lupe, which is grilled fajita meat, served with the lime pepper and covered with white cheese.

It's was like sitting down with an old friend ,I haven't seen in a very long time ,sharing an amazing meal.my favorite is the 3 pepper steak.i think the one near hwy 6 was the first a house converted to a funky tex mex hide away. Es muy Bueno.!! I left happy,feeling welcomed in the present Comfortable with the past still remaining It was my best day
