For Mexico City standards the menu is pretty authentic but the flavours are bland and well bellow average! Shame :-( Mestizo still rules for best authentic flavours
Chris AMarch 23, 2012A bit warm even in Spring. The food is good. The toilets stink though, need some fresh air.
Jaime Cárdenas CastroOctober 19, 2018Tacos are good but very overpriced (even for London standards).
Metro.co.ukSeptember 10, 2010Lupita styles itself 'the first truly authentic Mexican restaurant in London,' but is ultimately a little disappointing. Metro gave it 3 out of 5 Stars. Read more
Paul GallagherJanuary 8, 2012Small entrance with people queuing hoovering over other tables. A couple left after waiting 30mins for a taco. I shared the classico which was boring, chips not fresh enough. The chorizo was ok. :-/
Food tastes great, service is shoddy, and both my friend and myself had stomach pains for two days afterwards.
Will PohlSeptember 2, 2010Good food but shambolic service. Things missing from orders, orders forgotten, glass found in one taco. Hopefully will improve in time.
- Melissa +squeakDecember 15, 2010Nopales, huitlacoche... the Mexico you've been dreaming about. Balanced, spicy, bright.
It doesn't get any better than this for Mexican food in London!
David JensenDecember 15, 2015Stay away from the jugs of Margaritas. Not enough alcohol and way too much lime.
Sam MMarch 13, 2014Undeniably fantastic food, but expensive and some of the portions were small (ice cream especially). Wahaca serves about the same quality Mexican street food for a lot less. Amazing Micheladas though.
Delfin VassalloNovember 29, 2013They don't do tortas anymore, no other take away suitable option. Very, very disappointing!

It all started 50 years ago, with El Farolito, a taquería in a little corner of the then unknown Colonia Condesa, located just west of the historic centre of Mexico City... London"s most authentic Mexican taquería. The same tastes, ingredients, flavours and smells as found in Mexico City.
