Yelp.com Review - by Nate M.

2.0 of 5 stars. Since I am on a reviewing hot streak I have decide to go back to a place I tried but once. Lupe's Escape was recommended to me by a friend. Granted, this is a friend that waits for the $2 happy meal...

Microwaved food.

This place has terrible microwaved food. You can see all of their microwaves in the kitchen. As I was sitting in the waiting room for a table, I was able to see into their kitchen. I counted about 6 or 7...

Yelp.com Review - by Ray V.

mexican by ann l. at InsiderPages

The place is very small with great food and large portions for the price. This is more for the drinking crowd, but the food is delicous. Go early in the evening, always very busy.

A Hidden Treasure

We've returned to this divey little restaurant time and time again. The food is excellent. Authentic, fresh and delicious. The service is good or bad depending on the time of day and how busy they are.

A small place without much atmosphere. The food is good and service has always been good. It is a good value and portions are large. Chips and salsa are good.

Ate here tonight because of the over all positive reviews. Good food, from the fried egg enchilada down to the bean dip - not the best, but definately worth seeing for yourself if it hits the spot. The chips...

Decent

The food is one up from Taco Bell and prices aren't too bad. But if you want good mexican, there are lots of other better places. Don't understand the high rating on this one either. I would give it a 6/10.

From the outside it does not appear as much, but there is some wonderful food to be discovered inside. The service is always friendly and if you need more fire in your dish there is 'Dave's Insanity Sauce'...
