"A refuge of Los Angeles expats, Lupe’s offers the typical menu of that city’s Mexican American cuisine in a brightly colored setting full of chrome and Formica. The burritos are an obvious choice, but the bill of fare also presents options such as potato-filled taquitos and steaming bowls of chile Colorado and chile verde. Strong cocktails are available, too, at this place that never ceases to be hip." - Melissa McCart
