Lupitas La Cocina: Authentic Mexican Dining Experience in San Antonio

Enjoyed some lunch today at Benny’s. It was my first time in and I only stepped in because I was in the area. First off, the staff happily greeted us in English and Spanish which I truly appreciate. For food I had a carne asada repeat with queso fresco and jalapeños and it was very good. My last experience with a torta elsewhere was really bland, but I would eat this again. Additionally, my Mexican friends thought the food tasted authentically which is always a plus. Lastly, it was super affordable and quick service. Definitely check it out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Recently I started to go to this spot. Let me say I have not stop since then. The prices are super reasonable and the portions are very generous. Also, I showed up one day when they were about to close not knowing there hours yet. However, to my surprise the service was still cheerful and the food hot and fresh. I especially liked that my burrito was grilled on the flat iron to give it a firm and crunchy exterior while still being delightful. As an example they have combos during the week for 7.99 plus a drink. Knowing that the economy has changed dramatically and prices have sky rocketed everywhere. Here is a hidden gem where you still can get homemade Mexican food made with love without hurting your wallet. Being from the Southside y'all have my support. For those who don't know this spot yet its the old Dairy Queen on Roosevelt to the left before Steves St.. Now called Lupita's La Cocina. This is just my opinion, I hope y'all give it a chance like I did. Enjoy!!

Food was good. I tried their pork chop plate it was good. Rice and beans were good had to go back for some extra rice. The service was good the young lady who helped me was very helpful. This place is new go try it out.

Tacos and menudo are great. Great drive thru service. Friendly, courteous bilingual Spanish English staff. Especially sweet tall and curvy girl

We had the Mexican Plate and the Deluxe Plate. The place was amazing and the service was right on point! Make sure to try the green chili sauce!

This review is based on not one visit, but several visits... It's nestled in a not so glamorous area of south town, but it's worth the stop. The food is made fresh. They serve homemade lemonade, Jamaica and Horchata, and amazing hot coffee. They serve their breakfast plate specials to 11am that go for $6.99 that includes potatoes, beans, two tortillas and coffee or ice tea. Their potatoes are mixed with chorizo and is delicious, but you can request them with out the chorizo their enchilada plate lunch special go for $6.99 and includes an ice tea. They offer several other lunch specials that go for a dollar more that also includes ice tea. The place is always clean with plenty of parking, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I never have to wait for a table during lunch time and They also have a drive through if you're in a hurry. I highly recommend their enchiladas, "carne de puerco asado(Thursdays only"), and any of their breakfast tacos or plates. NOTE: I do NOT recommend their barbacoa or their hamburges. Their hours are from 5:30am-3pm. Closed on Sundays.
