Two words that sum up this 2^nd Avenue gem: TACO SALAD. Yes, the unlikely marriage of fresh vegetables and a crispy fried tortilla bowl topped with roast pork or braised beef. It’s like the hot, fitness girlfriend that marries her beer loving boyfriend because, well, some love- matches you just can’t explain, they just work. Lupita’s does not disappoint in this sense, and in a neighborhood where authentic Mexican tacos are taken very seriously, it’s refreshing to find a genuine Mexican restaurant that isn’t afraid to incorporate some tex-mex style dishes into their menu.
