Terrible service! NEVER AGAIN! Took a while to sit us down. Once at the table it took a while for them to take our order. They brought the chips and salsa and took our order for the drinks. We ordered a water, pia colada, coke and a margarita. Waitress brought everything but the pina colada.Then I guess she forgot cause she brought it only after we reminded her of it. She didn't give me a straw for my drink and took forever to come back so I could ask her for one. Ordered the fajitas double and the rice was cold Anyways hubby finished his pia colada and asked for another and again the

We drove into Los lupes around 9ish, they were already doing for 10 dollars valet then we were worried if we don't get inside by 10pm we will get charged again as they have a cover charge after 10pm. Also most of the parking lot has been blocked off for valet so its like you have no choice but to valet. We finally got seated yet no one came with chips and salsa. Steven, our waiter, came to get our orders. Everything was okay until we recieved the bill. We asked if he can spilt the bill 3 ways but he only spill it 2 ways. Then we asked to spilt the bill again and he said he cannot do that.

Dined in for Saturday morning breakfast. Friendly staff, covid plexiglass in between each booth. Service was great. Although this place is in need of a serious makeover inside. Its really dark, gloomy and very outdated. No music playing
On to the food, 1st plate was huevos rancheros con gueso y frijoles (ranch style eggs, beef stew and beans) stew was bland,tasted like canned beans and salsa. 2nd dish, nopales con huevo, papas y frijoles (scrambled eggs w/cactus, fried potatoes and beans) again bland, tasted like canned cactus. A shy portion of potatoes but they were good. Tortillas were okay
