Lupitas Authentic Mexican Food

Okay this is actually the best Mexican restaurant in State College. Super authentic food and delicious flavours. If you are an Indian you will love this as this is very similar to home food taste! Staff is very kind and they have different sauces at the sauce bar. Vegetarian options available.

Honestly, I'm sure for the college kids, this is a great place to drop in quickly and get a meal. However, for me who was having dinner with a friend and we decided on Mexican, it was highly underwhelming. You place your order at the counter and pay, then go sit down to have them bring it to you. The soft drink system has a handwritten sign for a dollar per refill, but you've already paid. Semi confusing. The meals were brought out on paper plates. Like, great value brand. All the condiments are self serve in this crammed thing, where the sauces all drop into the others as your filling the smallest condiment cups on earth. I asked for chips and salsa and got chips - no salsa. I paid for a quality meal but was disappointed.

Where do I begin ... in short, you will not be disappointed if you are looking for something that feels authentic! Loved their selection of sauces, the meat was spiced perfectly, and the masa / tortillas were delicious. We took the food back to the hotel and it was just a good as eating in the restaurant.

I’ve loved Lupita’s since they first opened years ago! Consistently delicious food, good portions, great prices. They are family-owned and it shows - always friendly and part of the community. We are moving and I will miss their tacos so much!!! I know I will make a special stop at Lupita’s whenever I’m in town ❤️ thanks for all the yummy food and smiles!!

When I need something tasty, filling and full of flavor, I walk myself down to Lupita’s. My go-to order is either the carnitas king quesadilla or carnitas tacos. It wouldn't be true joy if you didn't consume your plate full of happiness with horchata or a crisp Diet Coke. Lupita’s is the best Mexican restaurant in downtown State College - so good I wrote a blog about it for The Daily Collegian. If you eat anywhere, eat here.
