" I stopped by due to a friend's recommendation and I have to say it did not live up to my expectations. While the service was friendly and quick, the authenticity was lacking a bit. The flavors just didn't have the boldness I was hoping for, especially compared to other places I’ve been. I’d be willing to try it again, perhaps on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Lupita's because it was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. The food is incredibly authentic and made with heart. I had barbacoa tacos, which were soft and packed full of flavor. The only negative was that it can be pretty cramped inside due to its gas station location. Still, the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the location might turn some away, the food at Lupita's is truly authentic! I have tried so many different Mexican places, and Lupita's is by far standing out for their flavors. Their guacamole was one of the best I've ever had. I can't wait to go back and bring friends along! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is probably the most authentic Mexican food I’ve had not just here, but ever! I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of the menu, which is packed with traditional dishes. Their carne asada tacos were extremely flavorful, and the ingredients felt very fresh. The staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had what we needed. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a surprise! At first, I was hesitant to eat at a restaurant located in a gas station. But upon my first bite of their enchiladas, I was hooked. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly, and I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. If you’re in State College, do not skip this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Lupita's after hearing all the buzz, and wow, what a treat! The ensalada was spectacular, full of vibrant flavors and freshness that transported me back to family meals in Mexico. Even though the seating is limited and shared with the gas station, I loved every bite. Will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Normally, I wouldn’t eat in a gas station, but Lupita's has changed my perspective. They serve incredible tacos—some of the best I’ve ever had. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the salsas are a must-try! Even though the atmosphere isn’t anything fancy, the food definitely makes up for it. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
