Lunch again at the restaurant. I sat at the bar and had a great interaction with Jess. The food was fresh and excellent. Atmosphere and music level was great. Love this place!

UPDATE : I will leave my old review , But I must say we have been several times since opening new location and its been disappointing every time except at lunch. Tonight was carry out and it was terrible. Steak fajitas were mainly veggies very little steak, they forgot bean dip said I didn't order, had nothing but broken chips and only a handful , , the Sophia was just the shell no honey no cinnamon. I called and the girl who answered was rude and very aggressive and almost combative. I have a suggestion.... carry out should maybe be taken in a room so employee can hear the order. And some of these problems would go away. It's a shame this was our favorite. Good luck Great food , was busy but was seated very fast . All the employees were very nice . The margaritas were really good . The only suggestion I would have is to put napkins on the table . Mexican food is messy . But this will be a family favorite. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed

Here’s a NED-style review for Mi Lupita: --- What Works Well - Authentic, home-style Mexican food with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. - Standout dishes include enchiladas, tacos, and tamales. - Friendly, family-run vibe with warm, attentive service. - Generous portions at very reasonable prices. - Great for casual dining or takeout. --- What to Watch Out For - Small, simple dining area—more focused on food than ambiance. - Can get busy during lunch/dinner rush. - Limited vegetarian or specialty diet options. - Some dishes may run spicy for sensitive palates. --- Verdict Mi Lupita delivers flavorful, comforting Mexican classics in a cozy, no-frills setting—ideal for an affordable, satisfying meal. Rating: 4.3 / 5 --- Want top dish picks or spice-level tips?

First time here for a Hobby Club Holiday Party. Food, service and Atmosphere all were excellent. Very impressed how busy a Monday evening was with Patron6. That in itself indicated to me that food must be really good. Will be going there again when in the area.

Mi Lupita is officially in their new location in Ballwin! We ordered the brand new margarita flights- the Traditional Flight which was the House, Pepe's, and Cadillac and the Flavored Flight, which was Strawberry, Prickly Pear, and Mango. All were incredible! We got the shrimp and chicken fajitas, it came out sizzling and was so good, tasted so fresh! We also ordered Enchiladas Banderas, three enchiladas, beef with red sauce, chicken with queso and pork with green sauce. Everything was delicious! We came on opening day and the service was flawless! This location will be a staple in West County for years to come!!

First time trying it out, and my partner and I definitely approve. We are Mexican food connoisseurs and love to indulge in good seasoned and sultry Mexican. I ordered the ground beef tacos and was satisfied with my choice. Appreciated the variety in beans too, where we both chose black beans. Want to continue To go back! Oh, and the drinks were on point too!

Nice restaurant with a good selection of food. We came in for a quick bite on a Saturday for lunch. We ate off the lunch menu. The food was good but we did not try anything from the bar during this visit.
