Lupita's - Reservar una mesa

I travel on Colfax between Colorado Blvd and Tower on a very regular basis as my horses live out east. After spending hours, brushing, caring, and riding horses, I am usually famished. And quite often on the way home I stop at Lupita's. I like sitting down and having a basket of hot chips and a negro modelo put in front of me without really asking and I like the owner to come over and say hi, how are the horses. Betty Ortiz, the owner of Lupita's, has become a community favorite. She treats everyone like family and gives back to the community. She serves good food, and if you don't believe me, drive by during any meal time and see the number of cars around the building including Cadillacs, p...

Two stars because the service was good. Otherwise the place looks like somebody's junk room and there weren't a lot of customers there during what should've been a busy dinner hour. There were two servers, presumably one of them the owner, they were milling about without any worry about all the mess and junk all over the tables. We weren't sure the place was even open when we walked in. The food was bland and greasy, and I'm always amazed at how some restaurants can completely cook the flavor out of food. If I were desperate and nothing else was open, I might consider going back here purely out of need. Otherwise there are many good restaurants all over town and no need to go to a place in s...

I checked out Lupita 's after hearing about it from colleagues at the Anschutz Medical Campus. This is a classic Colfax Ave. dive! When you walk in be prepared to go back into the 1970s. It 's like you seriously stepped into a wormhole. The food is what I 'm learning is 'Denver Mexican ' where everything is smothered in cheese. It 's cheap and the proportions are plentiful. The beef was incredibly moist and the flavor profiles are pretty straight-forward. Heavy--cheesy and greasy. Refills are not free and you do not get free chips and salsa refills either. If you want a hefty portion for a good price Lupita 's is worth a look, but it 's far from being a top Mexican restaurant in any regard.

Really a great place to visit for some quality Mexican. I had the Enchiladas Con Huevos (basically stacked corn tortillas with sauce cheese and egg) and it was fantastic. Great flavor and made with pride. I also noticed people eating more regular american breakfast and they seemed to be very happy as well. I also took a chorizo burrito to go to eat later because you should always do this if the meal is that good. I had the burrito for a late lunch and it was also really good. Nice spice but not to much and the green chile was really tasty. I am excited to go back here and you should try it out if in the area!

Great food and service! Glad I found this place. I just moved to the area and needed to find a good Mexican restaurant.
