"Since opening in March of 2020 Sanford, North Carolina, Fonda Lupita has quickly risen to become one of the most talked-about restaurants in the state. Owner Biridiana Frausto assembled a team of family and friends (all women) to recreate the cherished recipes of her mother Lupita, offering the sort of homestyle cooking common on street corner carts and in kitchens across Mexico but harder to find here in the United States." - Eater Staff
