"Our 1st time but not the last. Each dish was flavorful and filling. I cant wait to go back!!"

"I wanted to love this real bad, I’ve heard nothing but great things—aside from them being a bit pricey—but our experience was less than pleasant. We order the gumbo, side of queso, ground beef queso birria, mangorita, corona, 2 don julio shots and of course you get the chips and salsa. The chips tasted stale but the salsa was chefs kiss—loved it! Queso birria tacos were excellent, I’ve never had them with ground beef but they were flavored beautifully. The gumbo was the beginning of my experience changing. It took my by surprise to see these tiny morsels of meat but I was truly taken aback when I took a bit into the unseasoned chicken and shrimp, I’m not sure if 3 shrimp is the standard but that’s what I got. I mentioned this to our server and she said well I know the steak is seasoned because I eat that all the time, I can have them make you some more chicken but it’s gonna be a while—we only have 1 cook for the entire restaurant. I empathize as a human but as a patron, you having one cook is not my business—I’m paying for a service and good food. Her response was not what I was expecting but I waited…she brought me back a few strips of chicken this time. I was surprised there was only one type of hot sauce in the restaurant when I asked for Cholula but not a deal breaker. So then my partner ordered a mangorita and the waitress brought back this large very orange drink—we looked and just decided to keep it and try to enjoy it but it was truly too orange flavored so we left over half a glass. He then ordered to Don Julio shots and she asked if he wanted salt on the rims, he said yes and then looked at me to make sure and I said sure. There were no water refills and I found out during us taking the shot my rim had sugar, his had salt —that was awful. I mentioned it to the server and she said, I thought you said sugar? I was perplexed how she thought that when I wasn’t even the one who placed the order. At this point we were both over it and left."

"The staff were nice and friendly, the restaurant seemed to have a good vibe over all, maybe it’s a good place for drinks but as far as food goes. Sadly it’s a worse Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. food had no flavor, salsa was stale and their spicy sauce tasted like it was made with old water. Definitely a good place for those with a more delicate pallet, NOTHING was spicy :("

"The food here is beyond mid. Birria is barely birria and everything is very unseasoned for a Mexican restaurant. Presentation is really bad and not great. It’s weird because I expected this to be a Mexican place but it’s weirdly in between like they have not decided what they want to serve. There are much better options for Mexican food in Tuscaloosa and Tex-mex if that is your thing. I’d give it a try if you are curious but do not expect to fall in love with the food."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Loco Lupes, a fantastic Mexican restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant and cozy ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The menu offered a delightful array of Mexican dishes, and I couldn’t resist starting with their homemade guacamole and salsa, which were bursting with fresh flavors. For my main course, I ordered the Quesobarria Tacos, and it was a true masterpiece. The combination of spices and ingredients created a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. What truly impressed me was the attentive and friendly staff. They provided excellent recommendations and ensured that my dining experience was top-notch. The margaritas were also exceptional and perfectly complemented the meal. I can’t wait to return to Loco Lupes to explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine served with a warm atmosphere and outstanding service, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. It’s a true gem in the world of Mexican dining."
