Lupitas has the best authentic Mexican food in the area. The takeout is plentiful, affordable and most importantly delicious. Many options to choose from, in addition to a variety of meat options (including lamb.)

Great tostada’s really like the pork over the chicken but both are very good. Prices are extremely reasonable. Service is great with a fantastic salsa bar all homemade and attention to the details sets lupitas apart..

My son wanted me to try authentic Mexican food and recommended we visit this place. First impressions were not very favorable as the place is located inside a gas station along with Dunkin Donuts.

This place is the definition of “dive,” and I love it. The prices are good, and the food is authentic and excellent. Don’t be fooled by the gas station. It’s worth the trip outside the town.

Seriously some of the greatest authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had, definitely a hole in the wall kind of place, must try if you’re in the area craving authentic Mexican!

This is by far the best food I have had in State College. I didn’t expect much with it being inside of a gas station but the food far exceeded my expectations. Everything is flavorful and the staff (maybe owner?) Makes you feel very welcome. The meat is really flavorful and the tres leches cake was to die for.

Best authentic Mexican food near state college. The staff are always polite and the food is amazing. They have a few locations and they are all great. I love to bring family and friends here when they visit; I have never been disappointed!

Don’t be discouraged by the location, the food here was absolutely amazing. They no longer had tamales even though it’s on the menu, but everything else more than made up for it!

Amazing authentic food..do not let the fact that it is in a Unimart stop you from going. Best Mexican food in Centre County. I had the Tostadas. Chicken, ground beef and a slow cooked beef. Added the guacamole..which is spicy!

Very friendly upon arrival. We ordered $60 of food – 2 beef tostadas, 3 empanadas (2 beef, 1 chicken), 2 chicken flautas, 2 tacos (1 beef, 1 pork), 2 churros. (Also a slice of tres leches and soda from their fridge.) The cashier rang us up, and handed us our receipt. The receipt lists out the item purchased, but does not itemize the *type* of item. (Read 3 tacos, not 1 chicken taco, 1 cheese taco, 1 beef taco, etc.) The chef handed us our boxed items, and we went back to the car. As we opened the boxes in the parking lot, checked our items. We realized that out of the 11 prepared items we ordered, we were missing just one – a beef tostada. We went back in to let them know we were missing an item. The cashier met us with an abrupt “No you’re not, I watched her put it in the box.” We said we would go back to the car and bring in the 3 bags to show them that one item was missing, and he said “No I’ll just give you a free one” with arrogant sarcasm. We had no problem spending $60, so I’m not quite sure what we gain by lying about one missing $3 item out of 11 requested items. Ultimately, the chef prepared and handed us the beef tostada. After we got back to the car the 2nd time, we bit into the empanadas (dough with meat which is sealed and fried) to distinguish between the 2 flavors (beef and chicken), only to find that we were given chicken and cheese instead, and were missing the beef altogether. Because of the first experience, we didn’t bother going in to complain. The receipt isn’t itemized so we aren’t able to prove the item we ordered, so we figured it was no use anyway.
