" After living in New Mexico, I had high expectations for Mexican food here in Pennsylvania, and Lupita's blew me away! The flavors are spot-on, and every dish has a touch of authenticity. The homemade sauces are a delightful addition as well. The only issue I had was the ambiance, as it really feels like a convenience store. But seriously, don’t let that stop you. The food is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Lupita's and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! The tacos were excellent; very authentic, which is hard to find around here. I loved that I could customize my tacos at the salsa bar. However, the atmosphere could use some work since it’s a bit cramped due to the gas station vibe. But who cares when the food is this good? Definitely a repeat customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about eating at a gas station. However, after hearing rave reviews, I decided to give it a shot, and I'm so glad that I did. The tamales were fluffy and bursting with flavor. I also tried their flautas, which were delectable! The service was prompt and friendly, though the seating is limited. I’ll definitely be back for more soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Lupita's for the first time recently and couldn’t believe the quality of the food. Everything felt authentic, especially the tamales. The vibe of the place can be distracting because it is located inside a gas station. But the flavors? Absolutely worth it. A hidden gem for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" While at first I was uncertain about eating in a gas station, once I tried the food at Lupita's, I couldn’t care less about the ambiance. Each dish I tried, from tamales to tacos, had a homemade quality that reminded me of family meals. Now, I find myself recommending it to everyone I can! " (*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*)
