“ The food was very tasty. I loved the ambiance and the service. It is intimate yet family oriented as well. The only downside is that I left still feeling a little hungry. The kid's meals are the best I have seen in a long time. My little guy had the steak kid's meal and loved it. Prices are reasonable for the type of establishment. Will be returning soon but this time I'll get appetizers in addition to the main entree. ”
“ First time eating at Lupes. We found this place on Google. When we arrived the waiter told us they just opened 11 months ago. Our waiter Edgar was very pleasant and checked on us quite often. For the appetizer we ordered the Ribeye skewers and it was delicious, served on a pineapple with chimichuri sauce. I ordered the chicken mole. The mole sauce was the best I ever tasted. The chicken was a little dry but overall a great dish. My boyfriend had the Fish tacos and said they were pretty good. Overall, a great place to eat. We will definitely return when we visit Corona. ”
“ Came here at 11am on a Saturday and there was no wait for us. Emily sat us down immediately. She took our order, brought out the free chips and salsa, we ate that super fast! Then came our ceviche and lastly our entree. All of the food was delicious but we were so full after the appetizers because the entrees were big portions for our appetite. It could be different for someone with a bigger appetite. I loved the modern decorations and murals on the wall. You can definitely tell it's catered to Americans but we would totally come back. ”
“ Food and service exceptional. Our server Abraham was absolutely wonderful. Very attentive and courteous. Highly recommended this place for any time of day! Brunch, dinner. ”
“ I ordered the margarita flight which comes with 4 flavors. After trying the sandia margarita I had to order one all on its own because it was amazing. ”
“ My family and I found Lupe's Cocina and Cantina in Corona Ca and it is easily our favorite Mexican restaurant in the IE. They always have great food and their drinks are so yummy too! I really like their mango mojito. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the other drinks. It's one of my daughters and her father's favorite though.. Definitely a must try! Everything here is great, even the service! They always ask if you need anything or how everything is. It's great! We love coming here. ”
“ Nice outdoor patio with spacious tables and room for our stroller. The service was great and the kitchen brought out the food with pride in their dishes. Food was delicious and beautiful presentation. Good prices as well. We will def be back. ”
“ Went here tonight and had an amazing food and service experience! It was busy but we were able to be seated quickly during dinner rush on a Saturday which was amazing. The Chef/GM was so kind and so was our server Joseph. We had a bit of a snafu with one wrong order and a kids meal taking a bit longer than normal, but we were happy to wait. They came over multiple times to let us know how long it would take and even gave us a complimentary dessert. Absolutely amazing experience and I've already told multiple people about it. Definitely will be back! ”
“ Been wanting pozole so decided to check this place out and ordered to go. Everything was packed nicely and they included chips, salsa and black beans. The pozole had a clean fresh flavour and came with a generous amount of chicken. I was trying to not eat too much chips but the salsa and beans were so good! Plus the chips were fresh. I couldn't help myself. I noticed a pretty good happy hour menu here as well. I didn't get to take a look inside because pick up was handled outdoors. Service was excellent and fast. I will definitely be coming in with my family soon! ”
