Lupita’s Mexican Food

This place is great! 5 star food! 4.5 star service (only because sometimes they didn’t seem to hear us). 4 star décor (a little cluttered). Over all a 4.5. The food was really good and big portions. The free salsa and chips were delicious! The had a salsa bar that had other salas but we preferred the one the served table side. The also had a free bean bar with pinto, black and northern beans. These were amazing. We had never had northern beans Mexican style before. They were buttery and flavorful. My husband got a combo platter and was very happy. I got the bistek beef steak and it was amazing. Cooked perfectly seasoned perfectly. We would come back.

I love this place. Been dozens of times and never had a bad experience. The food is great, the liquor is actually liquor, and the staff is always friendly and patient. If you have not been here yet you should go soon. Best Mexican sit down in town. Tell them Eric B. sent you in and they won’t know what you’re talking about.

I recently went to go eat her I’ve been there couple of times already before it was okay nothing exciting, but I heard some rumors about something with there chips and salsa that they recycle it. If they do I wonder what else they reuse…

Small portions, high prices, slow service and not particularly clean. Overall meh, whatever.

Small authentic Mexican. Good salsas and cold beer. Cadillac Margs very good. Tortilla were hot and handmade. Good service. Affordable–
I would go back. Right off highway.

We had to make a drive up to cedar city and ended asking a local where to go and they recommend this place! Glad we were directed here, we decided to try a little of everything! So to start they bring you chips and salsa, the salsa is bomb diggity, the chips. Not so great. They also have an awesome salsa bar! (Don’t miss out on that!) and so we ordered the tortilla soup, I thought it was pretty good! Good flavor just not a whole lot in it. Lots of chips, peppers and avocado. So it was still pretty good! We also ordered the Asada burrito with red sauce! Also really good!!! I personally like a thin red sauce so I thought it was killer. Husband also ordered shredded beef tacos and he thought they were delicious especially for the price of $ 1.50 on Tuesdays! We would definitely come back, service was good and attentive. And prices were cheap!

Great food at great prices and great service sum up Lupita’s!
I had the chili rellenos poblano, which was really good. Our server was attentive and generous.
If you have a craving for Mexican food, Lupita’s is a good bet!

Good food. Loved the salsa and beans bar. Close to freeway. Caritas were tender and delicious.

I’m so glad we found this gem! The food and service were fantastic. The salsa bar was delish. They even had lots of gluten free options for my friends who pretend like they can’t eat wheat. We tried the enchiladas (Lupitas sauce), carne asada tacos, chile rellenos, tamales and Horchata.
And if you need any souvenirs so your friends think you vacationed in Mexico or you want to take a photo with a cut out that looks like you’re riding a burro, Lupitas has you covered!

Good place frequented by locals including Mexican workmen. It’s reasonably priced and close to the highway. I had a beef taco and a chicken taco. Companion had green chili enchiladas. They have decent margaritas and beer. Churro special for desert. Service is a little slow but it was crowded. They also have a salsa bar. I had an included Pepsi as well as coffee and water. Fortunately US 15 has a lot of places to stop for «rest» breaks.

I’ve been in Southern Utah over a year and a half, and I think I’ve tried every Mexican restaurant in St George but most are so awful, I don’t even bother to review them. Lupita’s had been recommended, but this was my first opportunity. It was a REALLY good experience. Nice-​sized portions at a decent price (under $ 8 for a Chimi), and best of all, it was really tasty. The ambience is uninspired. The salsa is a little spicier than I like, and they may be stingy with the chips, but overall, this is the best Mexican food I’ve found in Southern Utah. Can’t wait to go back!

Good food. The wait staff is a bit inconsistence. I I waited for a while for a menu and a waiter. The margaritas are great – strong! My meal was nice (cheese enchilada), the price was better. Solid pick.

Yummy food, great salsa bar! Booth coulda been a little more comfy on the butt, but that’s not the most important thing.
Try the mango salsa!
Fun décor and lotsa Mexican swag for the folks that like that Tijuana flair :)

Fantastic food. Great beef enchiladas. Staff are very attentive and nice too. Salsa bar is unlike any I’ve seen, hope to come back soon!

To start we were served one basket of chips and salsa for a party of five. We received another after asking for them with some attitude from our server. Should have stayed with one basket as they were stale and bland. Salsa was good though.
After ordering and receiving our food we brought a mistake to our servers attention. She said «ok» and disappeared for a few minutes. We caught her attention as she walked by and reminded her that my daughter wanted cheese sauce on her enchilada instead of the red sauce it came with. She huffed and took her plate to the window. In plain sight of our table the kitchen just dumped some cheese sauce over the same plate and she brought it back to use.
My chicken chimichanga was acceptable but nothing to write home about. At checkout I took my ticket to the cashier. It was the same ticket that she took our order on and there was barely any free space on it. I asked what the total was she slapped the ticket and shook her finger at our total which was written sideways on the ticket. I was taken aback and said «alright then». She gave me a goth look and took my card. Never said thank you or anything.
If you have to have Mexican food in Cedar City you’ll do just as well going to Taco Bell.

Had dinner on this place with boyfriend and his family. Service was great and food was good too. Had some burritos which was really good.

This is the slowest place in Cedar. Waited about an hour for the food. Our drink order was taken a few times and no one brought it until the 3^rd person asked us. The only good server didn’t even work there… It was a kid helping her mom. The food was great. The dishes had good portions. The salsa was spicy and great!

Mediocre Mexican food… But it’s Utah, so what else can one expect?
Ground Beef Enchiladas — probably the best thing we had on the table. It wasn’t drowned in sauce, so one can actually taste the corn tortilla and meat.
Pork Carnitas Taco — waaaaaaay overcooked
Cheese Relleno — oh god, so bad! All you can taste is scrambled eggs from the batter, but once you pull out just the Relleno pepper, it’s very good
Mixed fajitas — tasty but waaaaay overcooked
Whole Fried Tilapia — first they said it was going to take 20 minutes to cook… 30 minutes later it arrived, tasty but like everything else it was waaaay overcooked
Guacamole — don’t expect fresh avocados, it’s all packaged guac-​goo
Salsa — pretty damn tasty for Utah
Service — very sweet and friendly, but in no way efficient. We received ½ our meal, and by the time the rest of the meal arrived, the first half was cold. Some people like room temperature food… I do not

While staying in Cedar City we realized too much time had passed since our last Mexican meal. The great Unilocal reviews brought us to Lupita’s.
It’s a sweet little place with friendly service, a salsa bar, fair prices, and good chips and salsa food.
The chili rellenos were especially good with a delicious sauce.
If we find ourselves passing through Cedar City again, we will definitely stop here.

I finally found somewhere solid in Cedar City to eat! If you are in the mood for authentic, tasty and affordable Mexican food then Lupita’s absolutely offers that. Upon walking in, the dining area looked spacious an a nice woman told us to sit where ever would like. We chose a booth and it turned out to be very comfy and roomy.
Our server quickly came over to great us and go over the daily specials. She then told us chips and salsa would be on the way, but to help ourselves to their free salsa bar for more of a variety. The chips and salsa they brought to the table tasted very fresh and even though the salsa was a been thin it still had plenty of fresh chunky veggies and peppers. This salsa was way too spicy for me, but my hubby couldn’t get enough. I decided to head over to the salsa bar and wasn’t disappointed. They not only had plenty of fresh salsas to chose from, but also had different peppers and veggies. Next to the salsa bar you will find complimentary rice and beans that you will want to try too! The beans were very good. I will have to try the rice next time.
I ordered a bowl of «Tortilla Soup» and a single mini «Carnitas Taco» for my meal. The tortilla soup was SO good! The broth had such good flavor and it had plenty of tortilla strips and other veggies in it. The best part was they weren’t stingy with the fresh avocado they put in it as well on top. Most places would give you just a couple smaller pieces and charge a lot more so I was very pleased with the nice big chunks and amount throughout the soup. The carnitas taco was something else Lupita’s wasn’t stingy on. The 2 fresh corn tortillas were stuffed and the carnitas had good flavor. My hubby ordered a «Carne Asada Burrito» that was huge! Our total was $ 14.72 which is cheap for homemade authentic Mexican food. We left full and satisfied and I will come back again!
This is a locally owned and family operated business. I can tell by the way our server went over things with us and how they treated other customers that they genuinely are passionate about the type of food they are putting out and the service they provide and that means a lot. The restaurant is very clean. I visited the restroom and it was also very clean.
