Lupitas Cocina - St. Charles

Chips were stale and salsa lacked flavor. The picadillo tacos had zero flavor. Chicken was dry and chewy. It used to be good. Maybe they have a new cook. They don't have enough help either so service was spotty.

The service was friendly, and the food was delicious. The shrimp tacos were particularly outstanding. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet, making for a nice dining experience.

We dined outdoors and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, I couldn't have a Margarita, but I did manage to take a sip of one, and it was excellent. Overall, I’d rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars. For dinner, the price per person ranged from $50 to $100.

I will definitely return! Food: 5 stars, Service: 5 stars, Atmosphere: 5 stars.

This is my first review under 5 stars! My coworkers and I decided to go out after work to relax and unwind after a long week, but unfortunately, we felt rushed and like we were a burden to the restaurant. According to their listing, they are open until 9 PM, but we were informed that the last call for the kitchen was at 7:45 PM. Then, we noticed the chef leaving and everything began to close down. I don't think we'll be returning, even though we wanted to support a local business.
