Lupita's Authentic Mexican - Orangevale

I have been dining at Lupitas for half of my life. I have always loved the food and service here. So glad she is still open. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chile Relleno

Lupita's cooking took me back to meals made by my best friend's mom in high school. The flautas were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, with juicy, tender shredded beef inside. In addition to the beans and rice, the flautas were topped with cream, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Everything was so tasty that I found myself scraping my plate clean! For about $10 per person (before tax and tip), the prices were quite reasonable. With the fresh flavors, authentic atmosphere, and excellent service, dining at Lupita's was an amazing experience, and I would love to return.

The chips and salsa were served quickly, and the salsa was fantastic – a real highlight! The chips were decent, though I would have preferred them warm. I took a chance and ordered Mole, while my companion had a tostada (which was excellent). I found myself stealing bites of his delicious Mole enchilada; it was simply irresistible! As we were leaving, we had the pleasure of meeting Lupita herself, who was a delightful hostess with an intriguing story. This restaurant has been in business for nearly 27 years, and it's easy to see why it has thrived. We will definitely be returning!

Thank you, Lupita, for your incredible culinary skills! We traveled an hour and 15 minutes to dine at your restaurant tonight, and it was truly fantastic. Randy enjoyed the chili Colorado, and the sauce was outstanding as always, while I had your Chile Relleno, which was just perfect. We can't wait to come back soon. Your friends, Jillheller from Remax Dream Homes, and Randy, my partner.

I tried to visit this restaurant today, but when I arrived at 2 PM, it was closed. Additionally, I found that Google has it listed incorrectly; it's shown near Greenback and Folsom Auburn, but it’s actually located on Greenback near Main Street.
