“As I was looking for an authentic Mexican place, I came upon Loco Lupes. I wanted queso and on the DoorDash website, this was the only place other than Socal, Chiptotle, and Central Mesa. Although those places are great, I do not like their queso very much. I have never heard of Loco Lupes but decided to give it a go. Thank goodness I did because that was one of the best quesos that I have ever had. I also got a cheese quesadilla and salsa. Both were great and I will for sure order this again. 10/10!“

“I went in to order. She asked me if it was for "here or to go". I told her to go, and someone from behind the counter said, "we ain't taking no more orders". 2 people inside waiting on their food, and people in the drive through. I would have at least appreciated an apology or an explanation as to why I could not be served. Nothing. I promptly left and went to Chick- fil- a. I will never return to this location. This was at 8:20 pm. They close at 10:00“
