"Lupes isn’t on our list of The Best Mexican Restaurants In NYC, and there’s a very simple explanation for this. It isn’t one of the best Mexican restaurants in NYC. But it is fun, affordable, and perfect for a casual weeknight dinner. It’s only about the size of your standard-issue bodega, but it has a couple of big booths and a bar - and on top of that bar, you’ll find a big dispenser filled with margaritas. Stop by for Happy Hour and have a few of these bright green beverages alongside a perfectly fine burrito and some free chips and salsa." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
