Mama Lupitas - Salinas

Love it every time I go here! My family chooses this place over all other options after a family get together. It's a small kitchen, so if you have a big group, expect a bit of a wait. It's worth it!

We came and stayed in Salinas since we attended California Roots Festival. My husband had been craving chillaquiles all weekend. So this morning we came a cross this cute lil Mexican restaurant called. Mama Lupitas. The food is absolutely amazing!! It made my husband want to move here lol we're from Washington! The service was also amazing we will definitely be back in the future for future California Roots Festivals!!

Only had a chance to try the breakfast burrito, but it was delicious. The home made taste of the tortilla, scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon and salsa was delightful to the palate. Very filling. Will be back to try more on the menu.

This is a wonderful spot for breakfast. The staff is friendly and professional, and I really enjoyed the menudo, especially the handmade corn tortillas. The location is conveniently near downtown, which I appreciated. The restaurant was busy, which is always a good sign. Everything was clean and well-sanitized. The two young boys working there were very helpful and organized. I will definitely be returning—thank you!

The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of breakfast and lunch options at reasonable prices. The service is consistently excellent as well.
