  “We came on a Wednesday around 6pm, spaces do get filled up real quick. You just find a table and sit yourself down. Everything was so yummy, except the rice water - that was way too sweet and not much depth, it just tasted like rice and watery milk. Highly recommend the empanadas, my friend had the chicken empanadas and the seasoning profile on that was so unique, a mix of chocolate and rich nutty flavour. The beef empanadas had a hint of spice, super tender. I’d prefer the chicken one for the unique flavour. The tacos tasted like Dorito crisps, this is not saying it isn’t good, they have similar seasoning. Although we asked for pork tacos, we felt it was chicken. Milk cakes were sold out :( The staffs speak Spanish and the dishes are in Spanish, so make sure you clarify your orders - they almost got our orders wrong.”

  “I had such a fantastic meal here. Every dish was packed with authentic flavor and presented beautifully on those colorful patterned plates. The tacos were a real standout, especially with the fresh toppings. I was also blown away by the dessert, which was topped with fresh slices of strawberry. I cannot wait to come back.”

  “Really enjoyed my visit to Lupe's Cantina. It's a cosy little spot serving authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. We tried the Tacos Al Pastor, Tacos de Carne, Tacos Ensenada, Enchiladas de Mole Negra and Pastel de Tres Leches. The standout dish was definitely the Tacos Al Pastor – packed with flavour and served on excellent corn tortillas. Very juicy and perfect with lime. The Carne tacos were also delicious, while the Ensenada fish tacos were fresh and light. The Enchiladas de Mole Negra was delicious not too rich as I initially expected. Everything felt surprisingly light and didn't leave me feeling overly full. Overall, great value, lovely atmosphere, and authentic flavours. I'd happily recommend Lupe's Cantina and will definitely be back to try more traditional Mexican dishes.”

  “Great little diner with a great selection of food and drinks. The cocktails were tasty too. Service was friendly and food presentation was really eye catching. More sharing plates than main dishes so make sure you order plenty.”

  “What a gem! As close as you’re gonna get to Mexico in Yorkshire. Food was freshly prepared by Latino chefs, almost feels like someone’s grandma made it. Drinks were fantastic and the clay pots made it feel so authentic. Atmosphere, music and decor was spot on. Unsurprisingly it was fully booked but our server Jamie was efficient and friendly so couldn’t ask for more. 2 starters, 3 mains and 3 drinks for under £60. Absolute steal, will be back again for sure. Thanks Lupe’s 💜”

  “Finally got round to ticking this place off the list. Tiny little gaff just outside Leeds, but the second you walk in it feels like you’ve been dropped somewhere far warmer than Yorkshire. You know you’re in safe hands when the kitchen’s Mexican. The food absolutely delivered. Guacamole was bang on, carnitas and tacos were mega, the enchiladas were next level, and I finally got to try proper molé. Took me a minute to get my head round it, but once it all came together I was fully on board and would 100% have it again. Washed down with a Jarritos Mexican cola for good measure. Sound staff, great music, proper atmosphere. Easily top three restaurants for me and straight to number one for Mexican spots. Worth the 45min drive, Will be back 1000%”

  “The best Mexican food I’ve ever had, hands down! Everything was so tasty and I love how they had vegan options/things can be adapted to be vegan. The hibiscus drink is amazing! Will be back!”

  “After a trip last year, ive been craving tacos and Lupe's did not dissapoint. Their softshell tacos were amazing. Everything tasted soo fresh, very well seasoned and great flavours. The starter we ordered came out sizzling and the staff were able to give some great recommendations on what to order, which was much appreciated as I wanted to try soo many things. The place itself is very cosy and nicely decorated, with a few off street parking spots as well. Thanks for a great meal and cant wait to come back!”

  “Really lovely style of Mexican restaurant, unusual location and setting but gives it an authentic feel. Went with friends and shared plates of tacos, sides and more. Food was delicious, although came out at different times as ready. This wasn't really a problem for us sharing, but wasn't made clear before ordering so worth knowing beforehand. Food was hot and tasty and good prices. Tortilla chips were really nice, hot and freshly fried, however the two sauces it was served with were listed as salsa but not what I was expecting, as more of a liquid than a chunky salsa. Went well with the guacamole however. Could do with a bit more signage of how to enter from the carpark, but otherwise an enjoyable experience and will be back for more.”
