Restaurante La Lupe

I just ate the finest Mexican food I have eaten since I moved here six years ago. It was sublime! I ordered frijoles de charros al Pastor.

Most people are familiar with al Pastor.The method of preparing and cooking (layered pork) is based on the lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to the Mexican origin of al Pastor, the Puebla region. Today al Pastor can be found nationwide.

This soup was extremely flavorful (I must admit, I LOVE charros beans). Mixed with chopped vegetables, a savory beef broth, and the obligatory mix-ins (cilentro, chive onions, serrano peppers, radishes), the beans and the Pastor just make this one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. Sadly I leave tomorrow to go back to my home on the Costa de Oaxaca, but I will back San Cris. Te amo San Cristobal!! Kudos to Restaurant La Lupe, tu comida es excepcional!

Really tasty local food. A place for local and tourists where prices are affordable and the decoration (inspired on the Guadalupe Virgin) is colorful and cozy. Totally recommended

Thought this would be a tourist trap with the hostess wearing traditional costume outside to lure you in. But the food was good. I just had a simple omelette while my friend had the torta stuffed with chilaquiles. I loved the wide variety of condiments and salsas in the middle of the restaurant and the café de olla was good. Also liked that the tortillas were done on premise.

In my opinion a little expensive….. however, they are on the main strip so it makes sense. I ordered the fajitas, and it was good! However, it was definitely way more vegetables then meat. The horchata was excellent! Overall I’d say this restaurant is average…..

One of the few ‘authentic’ places to eat in the touristic area of San Cristóbal. If you made it past all the hippies, please take a seat in this restaurant. They offer an extensive menu with delicious traditional dishes and it’s all made in an open kitchen. Really good atmosphere with live music and beautiful scenery!

Food was good and very traditional. The tortillas are hand made when you order your food. Prices are reasonable and many locals eat here in the morning. Would definitely come back
