Lupita Mexican Restaurant is an authentic Mexico City style taqueria at 60 to 62 Commercial Street in Spitalfields. Its story traces back to the El Farolito taco shop opened in Mexico City more than fifty years ago. Fresh ingredients, corn tortillas and carefully prepared salsas give the East London restaurant a clear connection to that tradition.
Totopos arrive with guacamole, cream, cheese and chipotle salsa, while guacamole can also be mixed at the table with tomato, onion, coriander, jalapeño, lime and olive oil. Ceviche, tostadas, tortilla soup and cactus salad introduce citrus, chilli and crisp textures. These dishes offer plenty of scope for sharing before the tacos.
Taco fillings include carnitas, pastor pork with pineapple, arrachera steak, chicken, prawns, tuna and grilled cactus. Enchiladas with poblano sauce, cochinita pibil panuchos and melted cheese specialities move deeper into regional Mexican cooking. Burritos bring rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, cream and cheese together with a choice of meat or roasted vegetables.
Churros with chocolate or cajeta, flan and chocolate cake provide a sweet finish. The bar focuses on margaritas made with agave tequila or smoky mezcal, alongside Mexican beer and wine from Mexico, South America and Spain. Lupita combines the energy of a casual taqueria with enough range for a complete dinner on Commercial Street.
